Rats in the ranks: Andrew Hastie, a military strategist, resigns from the federal Liberal front bench, unable to accept Cabinet solidarity in the Westminster tradition. So he’s obviously planning to displace Sussan Ley as leader but does not yet have the numbers. 👇

Hastie is a cunning politician and it's risky to dismiss him as a crank because his views are racist. There's a good chance he will be Liberal party leader by the next election, and his white nationalism should ring alarm bells. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"This decision is a slap in the face. It allows Woodside to continue operations and pollution to 2070. It is a crime against Murujuga and a crime against humanity” - Mardathoonera Traditional Custodian Raelene Cooper www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

BREAKING from us at #4Corners: Former Morrison govt Health Minister Greg Hunt working for a Brethren company which received $54 million in COVID-19 contracts from Health Department while he was Minister. Mr Hunt says decisions made by his department, not him. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Any other organisation with this record would be abandoned by its followers. Catholics who fund this are perpetrators and need to accept their responsibility.

If Jillian Segal finds Pro Palestinian demonstrators intimidating, what does she call this?

If we have special envoys to tackle racism for specific races and cultures who experience racism, why is there no special envoy to tackle racism against First Nations people? #campsovereignty

Genuinely, though, why is this outsourced to Deloitte? Didn’t Labor commit to stopping the consultancy outsourcing bonanza? And isn’t this sort of your basic bread and butter public service task?

Israel WTF

Australia’s supply to Israel of F35 weapons parts is the “direct facilitation of war crimes” says Josh Paul, former Director of Congressional and Public Affairs, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, in the US State Dept. So why won’t Labor stop doing it? www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

If this isn’t enough for Australia to alter its relationship with the US nothing will be. Arming and sponsoring genocide then looking away is not something we can ignore. #AusPol #CancelAUKUS

If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines. The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed temporarily as tens of thousands of Australians made their voices heard against Israel's genocide in Gaza. #FreePalestine #3E

Can we complain about Ben Fordham's political, and anti-ABC stance and get him sacked from the ABC, or is that only for minorities #Auspol #jobsfortheboys

Stop putting childcare into private hands. Now. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/900754...

The Lattouf case reveals the cowardice (or complicity) of an ABC Mgmt that rptedly seeks the approval of #NewsCorp. ABC News regularly platforms NewsCorp journalists & commentators, without critique, using the disingenuous excuse of providing "balance". It's openly pro-LNP, pro-Israel. #journalism

At last the ABC’s 7.30 report is holding powerful lobbies to account. UNICEF is utterly outraged by Israel’s crimes against humanity killing innocent children in Gaza. Enough is already too much. How long can Australia and the world community tolerate this egregious cruelty?

“It’s up to us and other countries like ours to argue [for the international rules-based order] … if it means standing up to the US and arguing our case we should do so” A very reasonable view from someone dumped from Cabinet. These words should be coming from the Foreign Minister & PM. #auspol

Australians deserve the right to decide which wars we join. I object to Wong promising our support to Trump's (unconstitutional) attacks on Iran.

Just heard the Israeli foreign minister criticizing Iran for targeting civilians. I’m nauseous at the hypocrisy. Words aren’t strong enough to convey the contempt I have for these people.

Why on earth would we want to keep AUKUS?? The further we can get away from the US - which is clearly a failed state - the better. Extraordinary that this isn't part of the commentary #auspol

This is the stupidest policy ever. Aside from the grotesque inequity of it, it'd just encourage every taxpayer to send their kids private to minimise or eliminate their taxes. Imagine being able to send your kids to a $20- $50,000 school and having the fees deducted from your tax bill. Insane.

“a capitulation…” Hon Carmen Lawrence #auspol #climatecrisis #FossilGas #Woodside

The great Aussie gas giveaway is set to continue under Labor 🤯🫠 This is a total scam - we haven’t received a cent of PRRT for offshore LNG exports & the weak changes Govt made last term aren’t fixing it. Parliament needs to fix the PRRT. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

The AFR Rich List, released last week, reveals the total wealth of Australia's richest 200 people has surged by 160 per cent over the past decade, reaching $667.8 billion in 2025. Oxfam says property has been the most frequent source of wealth accumulation for Australia's wealthiest. #auspol

The North West Shelf extension is a disaster. It will release more pollution each year than all of Australia’s coal stations combined, threaten ancient Murujuga rock art, and deliver $0 to the public purse. Yet Labor approved it anyway.

It’s a ridiculous announcement. They bagged Dutton, yet announce this … now. Because Woodside wanted to pillage the planet for profit. They couldn’t even wait 6 months. The ALP are just pathetically owned.

Printmaking has not only been integral to the creativity of women in art but to the course of art itself, influencing and inspiring artists over the ages, including the fantastic talent of Louise Bourgeois #ReframingWomenPrintmakers

It seems the world swings between autocracy and democracy every 80 years or so, and the pendulum is now swinging in favour of demagogues. Australia is resisting the swing atm, which makes me immensely proud, but we must be vigilant and call out right-wing ratbaggery whenever we see it. #auspol

Men, women and children in Gaza are not "dying" or being "killed"; they are being murdered. By Israel. Men, women and children in Gaza are not "starving"; they are being starved. Deliberately. By Israel. In years to come, school students will study the media's complicity in the #GazaGenocide.

Worth highlighting couple of Woodside board directors: 1. Ben Wyatt, former WA Labor Govt treasurer & resources minister And the usual suspect… 2. Ian Macfarlane, former federal resources minister and Chief Executive of QLD Resources Council Woodside buys knowledge of the political process #auspol

Today @MurrayWatt has given Woodside a $200bn gift The North West Shelf extension will get $200bn+ of GAS FOR FREE. No royalties! But what about PRRT? Lol No. Treasury in 2023 noted the NWS will never pay it Terrible for the climate, fatal for Murujuga, & braindead economics

We're trapped by a Party with a 50 seat majority in the lower house - which is clearly going to put their donors ahead of our kids & grandkids. There is little to no opposition. No one is coming to save us but us. We all have a role to play - but the game has changed #auspol

A great article … and a woeful, genocidally complicit Albanese Australian ALP Government. #auspol #Gaza #Genocide @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social

Don't believe the spin from the WA Government. Pollution from the gas export plant is destroying the ancient Murujuga rock art. Rock art expert Professor Benjamin Smith read the report and set the record straight. Video from Friends of Australian Rock Art. #auspol

Meg O’Neill #Woodside CEO probably doesn’t want us wondering if fossil fuel CEOs like her have kids. A good first step is not patronising *our* justifiably worried kids at the same time as these CEOs keep our governments captive, unable to take real action. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2... #auspol

There a some public services that should never be privatised. Public Health is one. Basic amenities such as water, energy and communication are others.

I’ve seen some think pieces arguing that Labor’s election victory means News Corp no longer have power in Australian politics. These views ignore the fact - as per my academic work - that News Corp and the Liberal Party are so intertwined that neither leads and neither follows - they work together.

We can see the climate collapse all around us in real time, yet the politicians are insisting we can have massive gas fields continue, nay, expand for the next fifty years and net zero in twenty The politicians are lying to us

If Senator Murray Watt approves the North West Shelf extension, his legacy will forever be as the man who destroyed the oldest rock art on the planet. It will be an act of vandalism so gross that nothing he can do in politics thereafter could counter the damage.

SkyAfterDark RWNJ Peta Credlin has called on Labor to stop their Tax on people with $3million+ in Super saying multibillionaire corporate magnate Gerry Harvey has labelled it “stupidity of the highest order” 🤣 I’m liking this tax even more now.

Kickass journalism: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We wanted to put on the table, once and for all, a correction of the mythology that they are putting back a jarrah forest,” Dixon said. “First Nations know it.
