“Australians need to participate in a conversation about the biggest ever defence expenditure made by their country.” This community-based inquiry into #AUKUS is not just a fact-finding process. It’s an exercise in democracy that the govt has denied us. #auspol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/f...

This GetUp petition for an independent media regulator is really needed. Please join me in signing it. getup.to/e2wnenFJCnqoHk

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

The police described it as “a particularly violent scene” The PM says they’re “throwing everything” at it - all $717m over 4-5 years - disingenuous inaction could be his most lingering hubris womensagenda.com.au/latest/austr...

Please sign Australia, let’s face this as a united front. Do it for your daughter, mother, sister, nicese , let’s do it together. And ty in advance. ✊✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 #auspol c.org/JxFhfDYKPc

She’s right. Our economy’s depended on migration for decades but we’ve not built enough infrastructure to support the population increase. We don’t build enough public schools because we give money to schools that don’t need it. Migrants get blamed but it’s the fault of our substandard pollies

Untreatable! Haha!! trumpstruth.org/statuses/38453

The new world order has no need for plebs

‘President Donald Trump arrived in China hoping to stabilize a growing international crisis’…. …that he alone is responsible for 🤷🏼‍♂️ allchronology.com/2026/05/14/c...

Interested in your thoughts on this @mariecolemanao.bsky.social - strikes me there's a confusion of means and ends. Surely fixing the systemic fraud and inflated costs IS the way to reduce NDIS funding requirements, without the most vulnerable paying the price? #auspol

The Coalition has elevated culture wars of no substance above all else and now has zero political talent left. They can’t even strategise for themselves let alone the entire country #auspol

'Fast-forward 20 years, and the projections have turned out to be conservative.' We were warned about the costs of inaction on climate change, economists said nothing to worry about. We backed the wrong horse and continue to do so even today #climatechange #auspol www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This may be anti-hot take, but dumping billion of tons of particles into the atmosphere to block the sun is maybe a bad idea, which is why I'm very worried some billionaire will want to do it. Words by me. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/dimming-th... 🧪

'Researchers at the University of Queensland found that a single abandoned coal exploration borehole in Queensland was releasing about 235 metric tons of methane a year, with a climate impact similar to 10,000 cars each driving 12,000 kilometers (about 7,500 miles).' okdiario.com/techy/en/tho...

“There is inertia in the power and the economy of this archaic form of energy – fossil fuels – that lead to death. Undoubtedly, that form of capital can commit suicide, taking with it humanity and [other] life" #TAFF www.theguardian.com/environment/...

You can check The West Report for the disgraceful pro-cartel propaganda from the major parties and media on the gas tax proposal. The Government has now ruled it out, prefering the interests of foreign multinational tax dodgers to Australians. michaelwest.com.au/the-gas-cart...

And we’re a nation founded by ‘bad people’. But white ‘bad people’ aren’t like brown ‘bad people’ #auspol

Those bad countries being the countries western nations have gone into, stolen all their resources, set up their preferred government and then walked away from leaving an impoverished nation to fend for itself. Conservatives take responsibility for their messes #auspol

Lots of commentary about the booing of Welcomes to Country at Anzac Day ceremonies today Disrespect of any part of an Anzac Service is disrespect of the entire service. Your opinion is irrelevant Most comments focus on the role of One Nation in encouraging this type of behaviour 1/3 #auspol

And any politician that doesn’t agree should not be one. It’s that simple

Travis Lovett is walking from Melbourne to Canberra for one reason: Truth. This is a call on the government to fulfil its promise to implement a National Truth-Telling process. Let’s show our support for Travis and the National Walk for Truth. #WalkForTruth #auspol

Travis starts at the Victorian Parliament tomorrow (Sunday) at 8:30am, arriving in Canberra on May 27. Full details on the walk and the call for the PM to fulfill the commitment to the Uluru Statement: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

New video from my sister in law from the Adelaide Hills Adorable late night visitor 🐨💙😎

This is a remarkable judgment - but also to be expected when the legislature is pushing the courts in remarkable ways. The Court struck the legislation down because the purpose of the law was to stop protest, which is incompatible with Aus system of democracy www.caselaw.nsw.gov.au/decision/19d...

Another prediction that scientists got right. Australia will be impacted by climate change more than most others countries. I still remember how stunned foreign journalists were at the denial from politicians that were interviewed in 2020 after 8 months of fires Still they do nothing #climatechange

This is a national disgrace

Surfing in Tahiti like you’ve never seen before.. 📸: Tereva David🏄‍♂️ Nature is amazing 💙😎💙

We know he’ll fail to act but, if by some miracle he does, it’ll be for show and won’t actually achieve anything. Just like his climate change efforts, gambling ad reform, NACC, EPBC,..

Today marks 35 years since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody made 339 recommendations to address systemic racism and over-incarceration of First Nations people. Since then, more than 630 First Nations people have died in custody, including 12 so far in 2026.

This will never not be a banger. Never

They’re going to get Palantir to run, right? #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

“Australians agree that our resources belong to us. Gas that is exported from this country should be paid for by the gas companies that exported and a 25% has export tax is the way to go. - Senator David Pocock ✍️ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax: https://theaus.in/4sCn5Jx

Eighteen-year-old Australian Gout Gout ran 200m faster than sprinting great Usain Bolt managed by the same age as he raced to a national title on Sunday. The teenager clocked a superb time of 19.67 seconds to set a world under-20 record. Original post

And they absolutely have not learnt any lessons from the recent election shellackings. Good for them 👍 The LNP strategy pidgeon has its work cut out! 🤣 #auspol

"These greedy gas corporations are taking the piss." "They've been price-gouging Australians for far too long, and it's time our government placed a minimum 25% gas export levy to use that revenue to help people." @larissawaters.bsky.social 👏👏👏 #auspol

Cabbage Patch Doll quits and complains that Australians are not angry and bigoted enough. #auspol www.outinperth.com/ive-failed-s...

There sure is. White hot anger that successive governments have ripped us off and handed our money over to multi nationals all while telling us there’s not enough money for us to have nice things. We need to pay attention, the major parties are clearly showing they don’t govern for us #auspol

I’m not surprised that a PHON politician doesn’t know how our political system work #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

The Australian government should do the same. Only open source software should be used. Otherwise it’s a national security issue

So beautiful!

The forced shift of Australian universities from institutes of learning to businesses is an absolute tragedy. I doubt this would have happened before senior management salaries sky rocketed. Another John Howard shit show

Mehreen Faruqi has called on the government to cut ties with “bloodthirsty countries” the US and Israel, says our relationship can and should “never be the same.”

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

Not sure they’re called heartstrings if you’re less worried about the unarmed people shot/killed than the man who allegedly shot/killed them

Jan Fran, Lebanese-Australian commentator - If this had happened to Westerners - Australians, Americans, Europeans - if they had been killed by a record number of air strikes, would we be leading interviews with talk of fuel prices? would we be clear that this action is barbaric and unconscionable?
