Australia Institute polling shows three in four Australians support a ban on gambling advertising. Australians lose more gambling than anywhere else in the world. It's time for the government to step up and make real changes. #auspol

The govt are tabling their response to Peta Murphy's 2023 'Win Some, Lose More' Gambling report TODAY - tabling it AFTER the budget LOCK UP - This is an insult to all the Australians who have fought for a ban of gambling advertising. SHAME! #auspol

There are nearly 45000 Australia children & young people in out of home care. Our Child protection system is broken and underfunded by state & federal govts! It's a digrace. #fostercare #auspo

The Dep. Comm of the NACC has resigned - The NACC fought for by so many Aussie for so long - has been designed to fail - and that's the fault of the Govt and the guy in charge! #NACC

A Senate inquiry found the capital gains tax discount favors investors and worsens intergenerational inequality. Australia Institute research estimates removing the discount could raise an extra $19 billion a year. The case for reform is hard to ignore. Read more ⬇️ https://theaus.in/3R1bXIS

Who to pay regard to? Two intellects on the ground in Britain who tell us our UK #AUKUS partner ‘looks seriously unserious about naval defence’ … or … our Prime Minister who assures us politicians in London are committed. #auspol

“It’s like they’ve just gone: ‘Let’s just maximise this and don’t even consider the impact,” he said. That's tight mate - it's exactly what they've done! #Auspol

UK parliament's AUKUS inquiry report questions if Britain can keep submarine promises - seriously this is the worst deal ever! #Aukus #auspol

I'll be looking out for this one! Thanks Dr Gruen!

I'm with Ken Henry - “Just do it and stop the crap” #GasTax #auspol

This million $$$ mansion is owned by GFG Alliance's Sanjeev Gupta - he Australian assets bought by Gupta - Whyalla steelworks , Liberty Bell Bay & Tahmoor are ALL in trouble. As a worker told the ABC y- "I know he's got a big house in Potts Point. ...Sell it, pay your debts" AMEN TO THAT!!!

In 2025, we had Chinese warships circumnavigating our coastline and conducting live firings just outside of our territorial waters. Given the current state of the world, our government needs to be more transparent about the threats we face, not less transparent! #Transparency #auspol #china

With a 2023 #FOI access refusal under legal challenge, taxpayer funded lawyers are now releasing more & more info on #AUKUS nuclear waste plans. Ironically, one thing the Govt’s been keeping from the public is their keenness to gain a social licence from the same public 🤦‍♂️. #auspol

Ügyes vagy Hungary! Orban got his arse kicked - thank God! Hopefully this will juice up Americans to turn out in massive numbers and give Trump the arse kicking the whole world calling for! #GlobalStability #Hungary #Orban #auspol #VégeVan

War crimes should be investigated BUT why is it only our diggers that are looked at? Why does the top brass get a free pass? Why not the Senior Command? They got medals for their 'service' in Afghanistan and have faced zero consequences! #WarCrimes #auspol

I asked the Minister for Industry why the Albanese govt isn't investing in Aussie made Ai? All he could say is that Australia was a great place to invest! Today they announced a deal with Anthropic, once again doing nothing to invest in Australian made Ai! Shame on them! #australianmadeai #aussieai

The Senate just declined to support this second reading amendment to the Govt’s Fuel Response Bill. #auspol

Every week the federal government delays a 25% gas export tax costs the Australian public around $350 million in revenue. That's $350 million a week that could have gone to funding essential services! @davidpocock.bsky.social #auspol

Departmental secretaries’ million dollar salaries are set by the Remuneration Tribunal without reference to State/international secretary salaries (which are much lower), or performance. The Tribunal blindly sets the salary, YOU get to pay🤦‍♂️. #scam #auspol

Under Trump Washington has become a bully. There is only one way to deal with a bully and that is to stand up to them!

In 2018 the Morrison Govt did a dodgy deal to give Western Australia more of the GST pie - they were buying votes with our money! Meanwhile Tassie is being ripped off! This is unfair and needs to be fixed! #GST

It's been a thousand days since the late Labor MP Peta Murphy handed down a parliamentary report calling for a total ban on gambling reform.Nearly 3 years on & we are still getting crickets from the government - 😡😡😡 #bangamblingads #Gamblingadvertising #winsomelosemore

The gas cartel will make super profits from the Iran war as the price of OUR gas soars internationally. It’s right for @albomp.bsky.social to impose a 25% gas export tax. Unsurprisingly, driven by insatiable greed, the gas cartel is crying “wolf”. #auspol

New EPA data shows low dissolved oxygen levels in Macquarie Harbour, which are driving the Maugean Skate to extinction, are getting worse. Last year @albomp.bsky.social’s Govt changed environmental laws they knew would have saved the Skate in order to win a Lower House seat. #auspol

WE'VE DONE IT!!! For months I have been campaigning to get rid of Legislation to change our FoI laws - the bill would have made it even harder for Australians to find out what the govt is doing. After months of pressure this morning they withdrew the legislation! #FoI #Transparency

I've been getting reports that the govt is using Ai to assess submissions. Yesterday I asked the Minister if he could assure me that the data from these submissions was protected and not being shared with Big Tech. He couldn't tell me - but I am not going to drop this! #Ai #techbros #BigTech

The current fuel security situation. #auspol

If we had the 90 days local fuel stockpile we’re meant to (by international agreement) some of that reserve could be released now to minimise the impact of the Middle East war on our cost-of-living. Successive Govts have failed us in this regard. #FOI #auspol

Why be a departmental secretary on just $2740 per day ($1M per annum) when you can be a recalled departmental secretary on $5000 a day? It’s your money … and Dennis Richardson’s ‘Bondi bounty’. #CostOfLivingCrisis #FOI #auspol

Obviously the govt has decided to use Ai to write our Ai laws.😂 I think even Ai would think that's a stupid idea! #BigTech #AiRegulation #PoliceAi @tobywalsh.bsky.social

I gave a speech last week in the Senate asking the govt why veterans are still struggling to get good health care? 😡The Minister & the DVA have had a year to get it fixed but all they can manage is a press release with no detail!!! They will have my boot up their arses until it is fixed!!!

Trump's comments that NATO troops "stayed a little back, little off the front lines.” are utterly shameful - 40,000 Aussies served in Afghanistan, 41 were killed & 100's were injured - & they didn't get 'daddy' to get a doctor's certificate! #aussieveterans #nato Picture :Australian WarMemorial

Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social, please read 👇this speech👇 from the @CanadianPM on the rupture in the world order. “You cannot “live within the lie” of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” #auspol

Thanks to FSU, 600 digital activists they supported & @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social from the @jacquilambie.bsky.social network, @information-age.bsky.social could quickly debunk the Gov's bogus "AI bots send FOI" claim, as Archie Milligan reports. When we work together, can protect our right to know!

Yesterday Treasurer Eric Abetz admitted to a parliament that there is no economic modelling to show how much revenue the proposed Macquarie Point stadium will bring into the state coffers! #AFLStadium #Taspol

Tas Treasurer Eric Abetz says the AFL Stadium will bring untold economic benefits - but guess what? There is NO ECONOMIC MODELLING!!! #taspol

If only the Libs had held the transparency high ground, we’d have been able to judge this week’s appointment of former SA Labor premier Jay Weatherill to UK High Commissioner by reference to standards laid out in the Briggs ‘Job for Mates’ review. #auspol

I put up a motion in the last parliament to get this organisation listed as terrorist organisations under the Criminal Code - Federal Labor didn't support it and neither did the Coalition! #auspol #nationalsecurity

The duopoly just joined forces in the Senate to vote down an #AUKUS inquiry. Never mind the political, technical & management risks associated with the program, or the $365B price tag - the two major parties are happy sleepwalking with your national security and money. #auspol

It’s not just a stadium. It’s a debt bomb for all of Australia. If Tasmania defaults, every state pays. Your taxes. Your interest rates. www.smh.com.au/.../tasmania....

Tomago Aluminium is facing closure over energy cost. Interest rates will be kept high because of energy costs. Yet @albomp.bsky.social won’t implement a gas reservation policy to lower those costs. He cares more about keeping Japan’s industry alive and South Korea’s energy costs low. #auspol

Oh dear! "Abetz used his first speech to the Tasmanian parliament last year to argue the current generation should not leave debts for future generations “because we are too selfish to tighten our belts”. #auspol #AFLStadium

It’s not about submarine secrets, nor police tactics, nor intelligence operations. It’s about climate change and energy policy. These are important topics which the public have a right to understand and discuss. Why the secrecy? #auspol

I might be down - with my back but I'm not out! Today, Senator David Pocock moved my motion for an inquiry to investigate Airport security fees. 🙏🙏🙏 Basically an Aussie going through security at Syd or Melb, is charged about 75c but if its a regional airport that could be $45!!! #auspol #Aviation

Home Affairs and Services were just asked if they have any evidence they can share with the Senate legislative committee of Ai bots generating FoI requests - and guess what - they couldn't! #FoI

The government was asked on Thursday if they could produce evidence of FoI generated by AI - and guess what - they couldn’t!!! #FOI #auspol

They promised transparency. They delivered secrecy. Now they’re coming for your right to know. Fight for our Freedom to Know. Because it’s our money and our right to see where it goes. Find out more - lambienetwork.com.au/pages/foi #FreedomToKnow #Transparency #AusPol #JacquiLambie #FOI

Premier Rockliff has already said he is pushing ahead with the AFL blackmail stadium - Jeremy doesn't like experts! He didn't listen to Saul Eslake, he didn't listen to Dr Nicholas Gruen and he's not listening to the Tasmanian Planning Council. #politas #aflstadium

#FOI costs have doubled over the past decade, not because of more requests, but because the Govt’s culture of secrecy scares sole decision making. Every man, woman & dog in Govt is consulted just in case someone might object to disclosure. #MountainsOutOfMolehills #YouPay #auspol

I fought Scott Morrison on National Cabinet secrecy during the COVID pandemic. I won that fight because his secrecy declaration was inconsistent with the law. @albomp.bsky.social is smarter than Morrison - he’s trying to expand Cabinet secrecy by changing the law. #auspol
