We made capital the defining characteristic of right and wrong. We made capital the arbiter of good and bad. We made capital the driver of political outcome. We made capitalists our rulers. We end up here and still we are not allowed to question the sustainability of capitalism.

An essential watch of Madame Pelicot being interviewed on BBC. It’s a tough watch and may be triggering, so watch with care 🩵

Yes I was appalled and saddened by the Bondi attack and the senseless loss of life but Racism is not a one way street. It affects many of us. So what entitles one race/religion to have separate legislation whilst the remainder of us are under one umbrella, Power? Money?

Why are people so mean to the trillionaire who bought the government and condemned 14 million people to die by illegally destroying USAID?

A reminder that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor remains 8th in the order of succession for head of state for Australia.

It’s Frontline, but less “haha” funny

Barnaby to Trumpet of Patriots? ⤵️ It's the betrothal we had to have (sorry Vikki Campion, you're just so 2018) ... #auspol

It's even WORSE—Alcoa's been ILLEGALY CLEARING jarrah forests for 15 YEARS since 2011 as it disputed fed env dept interpretation of EPBC laws Despite extended, flagrant enviro destruction, Watt grants a national-interest exemption in 19 days flat cos "critical minerals deal" 🙏 @lisacox.bsky.social

This is an utterly obscene miscarriage of justice. And, it's utterly unbelievable that he hasn't received jail time for the hit & run killings of two aboriginal pedestrians. Completely, totally, unequivocally an obscene miscarriage of justice.

Pocock said: “The Albanese government talks up their commitment to equity but we need to see those words matched with action to scrap JRG, which has now been in operation longer under their watch than the Morrison government.”

Forget Canada, the real 51st American state appears to be gullible Australia. View from abroad: www.scmp.com/opinion/arti...

The PM opening News' new HQ in Sydney is a slap in the face to all of us who signed the petition for a Royal Commission into Murdoch's media influence. This is literally the latest disappointment @AlboMP has inflicted on Labor voters and Australians in general. #auspol #opinion #coryidau

Could this be the shortest acquisition by One Nation ever. Honestly, Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce deserve each other. #auspol #opinion #coryidau

Who ever is in power will provide jobs for their mates. Left, right, it doesn't matter. #auspol #opinion #coryidau

BUT... let's get some facts, not opinions and political propaganda. #springst #auspol #opinion #coryidau

I know where elections are concerned, facts don't matter, so before we tar the Premier, how about we wait until we have the facts. If Premier Allan and the Labor government in Victoria is at fault, they should be ousted. The alternative is scary, but nobody is above the law. ...

The Prime Minister has put me in a difficult position, and I'm sure many Australians feel the same. How can we vote for a man and a party that now has so little regard for voters, for the Australian public, for our nations sovereignty? #auspol #opinion #coryidau

System designed to provide family for young people can cause great harm and trauma leading in too many cases to criminality: jails are full of former out-of-home care kids. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Why don’t women come forward when they’ve been sexually assaulted? I grew up around these types of people, I grew up around people who’d always support hating on a girl over a boy. They are VERY common attitudes in close communities. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Congrats to the Financial Review for getting the scoop that Richard Marles is formally a ‘Kentucky Colonel’. Maybe this explains his blind pursuit of Virginia Class subs for the RAN - he’s pitching for a promotion to ‘AUKUS Admiral’. #auspol #AUKUS 👉 www.afr.com/rear-window/...

Fionnuala Ní Aoláin and Ben Saul: “Making these most vulnerable women and children the further victims of violence does not make Australia safer or more secure. It demonstrates a lack of compassion, responsibility and obligation to both security and human rights.” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

The other thing they do is place the items with the biggest mark-up at eye-level on shelves. The cheaper brands are on the bottom shelf & suppliers pay more to have their goods placed at eye-level (or even in the shop to begin with). 😡 #auspol

Since last Monday’s protest, 12 Labor branches have passed motions condemning the police conduct and the ALP government’s anti-protest laws. Padstow and King’s Cross – have passed motions thanking the four Labor MPs who defied Minns and attended the anti-Herzog rally in Sydney on Feb 9 #auspol

How are salvos still more expensive than kmart here then? 😫

"Not for profit" Absolute fuckers. I hate them so much. The existence of (alleged) charities is a failure of government and a fucking license for these grifters to print their own money.

No surprise that David Gonski and Jillian Segal are on the same Israel team. The school system in Australia, unlike any other, has been built to imbed a class system rather than try to remove it. michaelwest.com.au/david-gonski...

This is the perfect example of a product whose main purpose is stalking.

"The judge upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt," Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and the host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News, calling the incident "an extraordinary misstep" by Meta.

We welcome todays announcement of an inquiry into alleged police violence towards protestors who attended Monday's protest in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac knittingnannas.org/2026/02/11/h... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Nannas, you'll be pleased to hear that there's something you can do for your grandkids' future right now, sitting at home on your a***. Extra fun because I was able to tell ANZ (again) that my partner and I closed our ANZ accounts in 2025 because they supported #FossilFuels. Get to it!

Drunk again I see. Beetrooter has read neither the Bible nor the Koran. He probably barely read his UNE degree textbook for The Principles of Mathematics.

Brendan Lyon has been scathing, saying after all the scandals “Two Senate inquiries resulted in no meaningful change” “Govt has rejected all substantial recommendations” “After all the noise, it’s business as usual for the Big4.’ 🚩 #auspol

Prof Brendan Lyon gives an example of how #Big4 exploit the CAANZ system: $8mill consulting causing $100mill loss is capped at $20mill. Taxpayers lose $80mill, while partners pay $1mill. Firm earned $7mill for work that caused $80mill in losses 🚩💥 Just shocking.

I note Aus Institute Director Bill Browne also spoke today, who also gave strong words about the new leg. & said there was never a ban in place on PwC, but rather a “mutual pause” where PwC would not contract with govt - despite that it now appears there were contracts in place “during” the pause 🙄

Labor: “ridiculing Nazis is a hate crime but not inciting genocide” That’s very social cohesion of you Labor well done

Over the past few weeks, I've had 9 tests/scans/procedures plus the surgery and I keep thinking how fortunate I am to live in a place with first-class medical care. Every medical professional I encountered was kind, caring, compassionate and professional. Big ups to those working in health 💜

Didn't she change her surname by deed poll & say she was a widow to try avoid that stigma? Given his "make their own bed" current views, Albo should pay back every cent of gov't assistance his mother ever got.

The dumb haters mixed up 'unmarried' mother with 'single' mother, forgetting the 'morally-sound' divorced and widowed mothers. Ugly, archaic patriarchy at work - those fallen, immoral women who gave birth outside marriage needed to be punished

Was a time the term “single mother”would have carried such a stigma, there would have been those who’d claim they’d “made their own beds” and deserved no assistance.

Wexner was a big donor to Israel. He denies he knew about Epstein making donations to Israel on his behalf. That is hard to believe. There are so many questions left unanswered. www.counterpunch.org/2026/01/12/h...

Isn't it time to notice that Gonski has been a failure -- comprehensive, complete and disastrous. Why the guy is still lauded baffles me. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi...

Davis Gonski is an Israel govt lobbyist along with Jillian Segal. Explains a lot.

I don’t get why ex-military and current military personnel think a multi-draft dodging POS gives AF about them.

I missed this at the beginning of the month. $40+m for antisemitism (re)education initiatives The Gonski antisemitism taskforce alone $5m. The plan, the plan, the plan, boss.
