The cost of AUKUS now includes huge amounts of money and the loss of both the country's strategic independence and its military history. Plans to sell the Syd and Melb Victoria Barracks to raise funds are akin to the UK selling Horse Guards Parade or Canada selling Quebec's Citadelle. #auspol

The discovery was less than three years after a mass fish kill in which tens of millions of native species were found floating along the nearby Darling River. "Some pockets of water on the other side of the lake have red alerts for blue-green algae; you have to put the two together."

Not only is David Shoebridge the Federal Opposition leader he’s now the NSW State opposition leader as well. Well someone’s got to do it I guess.

A heavily redacted cartoon. My @smh cartoon.

Australia’s AUKUS submarine plan is hostage to US and UK shipbuilding delays, rising costs and political whim – all from a decision made without a wider defence debate, Crispin Hull writes. #auspol #AUKUS #Defence #NationalSecurity

Get this: the Israeli president’s visit will be so divisive, according to NSW Police, that the appropriate response is to ban all public assemblies while he’s here, rather than, say, him not coming.

Sydney desperately needs public housing, not another high cost privatisation, and this is an excellent site - but it must maximise public parklands and protect heritage. If Labor are serious about delivering public housing do it here, don’t just flog it off to developer mates

No low is to low for weasel @albomp.bsky.social “When someone is accused by the United Nations of inciting genocide, you don't invite them for tea.” We need Change #Auspol #Genocide

F*ck ice...

Hey mate has the light dawned?

We moved in the Senate for the Albanese government to withdraw the invitation to Israel’s President Herzog to visit Australia. He has literally signed bombs used in the genocide in Gaza. Labor, the Liberals and One Nation joined together to vote it down. That tells you everything

Our important work at Kent Council to spend £600k on a car park to provide free parking for Reform councillors while staff have to pay, is all part of our 'We don't give a shit about anyone but ourselves' policy.

Time to revisit Rudd’s resource super profit tax @albomp.bsky.social AND to conduct an inquiry into the campaign against it. We, the people, own our (crown) resources - not a seedy cabal of multinationals…and weak politicians #auspol 👇

The NSW police commissioner admits that the Herzog visit will cause so much animosity that it could hurt communities. That's one of the criteria for cancelling visas under the character test. Instead, he bans protests. Our democracy means nothing. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Melania film is currently scoring 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, Meanwhile it has a rating of 1.3/10 from more than 32,000 votes on the Internet Movie Database which made it IMDb’s lowest-rated movie of all time. 🤣🤣🤣 #auspol www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

"Study shows COVID-19 raises risk of 'vascular aging' with stiffer arteries." COVID-19 doesn’t only affect the lungs. New research shows people who’ve had COVID-19 have stiffer arteries than those never infected, highlighting ongoing cardiovascular risks after infection.

Israel says it will force Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to stop operating in Gaza by the end of February – since it failed to provide a detailed list of the names of its Palestinian workers.   The medical charity says the demand to share staff names puts Palestinian workers in danger,

Jeffrey Epstein says that if people understood how the banking system operates, there would be "runs on the banks." "If you have one [dollar], you can lend out nine. That's the way our system works." "People on the street... would find it impossible to believe."

As someone who grew up experiencing a handful of summertime 50°C days in Central Aus, I can confidently say that no amount of ‘normalising’ by the fossil fuel lobby is going to make them feel normal. Ever. And by the time the punters realise they don’t like it, it’ll be irreversible.

Follow the money. If we had mainstream political journalists worth the name, they'd focus far less on the superficial race-horse politics of One Nation v LNP. And far more on the links between Rinehart, MAGA, One Nation, Advance, IPA & other RW 'think tanks', and the global Atlas Network. #auspol
