‘I mean, what the hell does she [Pam Bondi] get out of this?’ She gets to stay out of jail. They say she’s been covering up for decades. That’s she Trump’s Ghislaine Maxwell #maga #epsteinfiles #justice newrepublic.com/article/2068...

This is really good news and should be implemented nationwide

If ever you needed proof that our government is not for us #auspol

Environmental reforms rushed through parliament at the end of last year in a deal between Labor and the Greens were welcomed as a “net positive for the oil and gas sector,” according to a senior government bureaucrat. New from me.

Dr Jeremy Walker details the “enormous war chest” of Advance & lists funders inc Gina Rinehart, James Packer, IPA board, Woodside’s Charles Goode & “the priv foundation of Jillian Segal” - who pay Advance to “flood social media with aggressive Far Right disinformation”🔥 #auspol

If the public is ignorant of the scale of the risk, the government can continue approving the projects that make the problem worse, such as coal and gas They can also pretend that they're not increasing the risk to the volunteers that respond to these intensifying disasters #auspol #climatechange

1.2m houses built. 95%+ bought by investors with the negative gearing and CGT discount rorts still active. Housing still in crisis. Govt: how is there still a crisis? it's a mystery #auspol

The Australian govt hands out $26B per year in nature-harming subsidies This represents ~4% of the total federal budget Or twice as much as the federal govt invests in supporting government schools nationally Or 25 times more than they spend on looking after nature via @biodivcouncil.bsky.social

Every week an Australian woman is murdered by an Australian man raised on Australian values. What screening process does Angus propose to stop this ongoing and systemic domestic terrorism? 🤬 #auspol

Speaking on an Australia Institute webinar, Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz has urged the Australian Government to “follow the money” and start imposing a “a very, very high tax rate” on the country’s natural resources. Read more on The Point: https://theaus.in/4qEs0bO

"The social license for continuing fossil fuel extraction is declining every day," says @kuminaidoo.bsky.social. "Even though there are outliers like the US, Saudi Arabia & Australia who continue to push for the expansion of fossil fuel exports." #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/46xvC8e

The Australian government must announce a plan to phase out fossil fuels "way before" COP31, says @kuminaidoo.bsky.social. "I think they would have no legitimacy to play the key coordinating role in Türkiye...if they don't do that." #auspol 🎧 theaus.in/46xvC8e @fossiltreaty.bsky.social

Whatever happened to the contest of ideas? The major parties claim that they are working for Australia, so they should be all for opening the political process up. Except they’re not. They’re in business and they want to protect the system that benefits them greatly but delivers poor results for us

You mean, they’ll have to think up their own policy? That’s not what they got into politics for. It was to pull in heaps of tax payer money while doing as little as possible

"What we need in our housing market is more supply," he said. So investors can buy them all up? A housing policy that doesn’t level the playing field for first home buyers isn’t a serious policy. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

All Bolt, no facts

Right. Comeback. This is his, what, third or fourth comeback? He’s old and unfit and just says he’s retiring so he can have a nice long break in between fights

Classic way to admit his guilt and to advertise that you are totally cool with violently raping children.

Abbott seems to be getting a bit of air time. The media must have come to terms with the fact that Howard is mortal and they just can’t wheel him out much anymore. Nobody listened to Abbott when he was PM. Why would they start now

'Angus Taylor will have to find a way to unite them' Classic conservative sense of entitlement. We don't like your choice of leader so we're going to knife her. Then when one of ours gets in, you'd better unite behind them 👊 These clowns are too stupid to even realise that they are clowns #auspol

Well, it's certainly been a big week for Albo. • Gives red carpet treatment to a war criminal • Protesters who didn't like his war criminal buddy got bashed • Approved another coal mine to pollute the world. That's our Albo. #auspol

This is the way

'Moderates have switched sides, likely to save their front bench jobs.' Says it all about major party politics. Money first. Then party. Then country (as they define it) #auspol

"We need more people from our multicultural communities standing up for the Liberal Party and for the values of the Liberal Party." Paul Scarr But what are the values of the Liberal party? Except for grifting for taxpayer money. It's not the party that's wrong, it's the people 😂 #auspol

The Liberals are getting rid of their female leader today because the Nationals don’t want a female Coalition leader. What a sad, weak party they have become. In any other organisation, Taylor putting his hand up to lead would result In uncontrolled laughter. #auspol

No more illusions: people everywhere are waking up to the harsh reality of what Israel really is.....👏👏👏👏👏

🌡️ The latest #C3S Climate Bulletin reports the fifth-warmest January globally, with an average surface air temperature 1.47°C above pre-industrial level. Global average sea surface temperature 4th-highest on record for the month. Details: climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-... #CopernicusClimate

This is what I expect from a politician, fighting for future generations rather than fighting for fossil fuel profits. Good onya Nick, my shout next time I see you.

Here, on the ABC, is an entire article on Victorian bushfires ... with not a single mention of climate change www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Advance Australia purports to be 'grassroots' but the pro-fossil pro-Israel lobby group is actually funded by millionaires & billionaires such as Packer, Rinehart, Liebler. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social investigates. #auspol #AEC michaelwest.com.au/the-billiona...

www.bbc.com/news/article... “Among potential crimes it said it would investigate were complicity in possession or organised distribution of images of children of a pornographic nature, infringement of people's image rights with sexual deepfakes and fraudulent data extraction by an organised group.”

We’re doing great 👍🙄

This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly – not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“A campaign group that attacked Labor, the Greens and teal independent candidates at the last federal election was almost entirely funded by a coal industry lobby group, analysis of political disclosures reveals.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

No mention of the massive societal upheaval that'll come from having robots working in supermarkets and hotels. What do we do with the unemployed? They did raise the concern that to train them properly we'd probably have to give up a lot of our privacy. Tops. Only a brief sentence on military use

2024 was the hottest year on record, then 2023 and 2025. 2023 was the end of a triple-dip La Niña, when the global climate is in the cooler phase. 2023-2024 was a strong El Niño, and 2024-2025 a weak La Niña. Most El Niños will be record breakers from now on. #ClimateChange

'..let’s focus on making sure this won’t happen again.' Good luck with that, while Littleproud is still leading The Nationals. He's the reason for the two splits and it appears that his only negotiating tactic is to chuck his toys out of the cot #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

'...nothing has been able to contain the fires.' #ClimateChange www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Seriously, they don’t have anyone better?

The Nature obituary for Gladys Mae West, a mathematician that made amazing contributions to geodesy. Like the SEASAT project, which successfully demonstrated the use of radar altimetry to monitor sea levels. Tech that is vital today to track one of the main impacts of climate change. #ClimateChange

To unify the Liberal Party, let alone the Coalition, they need a leader that is so right wing they're unelectable. Also, the definition of "unify" means the far right stop undermining anyone that isn't one of them. Good luck with that... #auspol #LNP www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency ‘coronapistes’ or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”
