So how much money did Gina Rinehart pay to get One Nation a seat on SA? #auspol

Never thought I would see the demise of the Oz Liberal party in my life time. The days of Menzies, Fraser and Howard have always been romanticised by their voters . In reality it was always about preservation of wealth for the rich, keeping wages low and not addressing structural inequalities

This is the Australia I love

There is a huge amount of money coming to one nation thanks to public electoral funding. More than enough money to argue about. Everywhere that one Nation achieved at least 4% of the vote, they will receive over five dollars per vote. I don’t think people realise this.

ABC has lost or sacked it's educated journalists, Armstrong's article would be better in a Murdoch newspaper, at no time does she even try to report responsibly. Her opinions should not be so obvious, ABC is the public funded Broadcaster and as such has a charter and obligations

How long before Barnaby and Pauline have a falling out over $ ?

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... Why isn’tArmstrong doing her civic responsibility and encouraging the public not to panic buy ? As usual she seems to have one agenda to undermine Albanese and the Labor party. We need calmness and rational journalism and not political opportunism from the abc .

Indeed! Their gross sense of entitlement is THE most important Elephant in the Liberal Room. It clouds their judgement on every other large beast there! #Auspol

She banged on about the Liberal Party's values. But we EXPERIENCED your party's ACTUAL values whenever you got in power, Anne. They're why we reject you. #AusPol

In SA the influence of Alex Antic has created a rift with the centrist Libs.

#RIPLiberala. Rustin just doesn’t get it yet. She laments the Liberal losses in both Federal and State urban electorates in the interview I watched but refuses to address the elephants in the room. Climate Change; Disrespect for Women; PHON Enablement; Refusal to Support Cost of Living Initiatives..

Good to watch Anne Ruston squirm . Antiquated campaigning skills are not the problem pet . It’s the entitlement of the party that is no longer tolerated . They don’t get that !

Not much difference between Dutton, Taylor , Canavan , Bernardi, Joyce or Hanson. Not much difference between hacks at Sky or ex Murdoch hacks at the abc Good win SA Labor after the relentless undermining of your Premier , the PM and the enabling of PHON by Murdoch and ex Murdoch hacks.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... Trump prepared to send young US troops to die in a war he started and has little hope of ending . He has learnt nothing about guerrilla warfare and learnt nothing from Vietnam or Afghanistan. He hasn’t got the brainpower to work out why others won’t join him.

It’s not that hard to be kind , tolerant and not judge or generalise about people based on their ancestry .

Don't dishonestly assert that you or we know the reasons behind the attacks or who's fundamentally motivating them. It is certainly not the middle-class progressives who abhor Israel's acts. This is Netanyahu's propaganda narrative. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. So let me get this shit sandwich straight. Donald Trump, the 79 year old sundowning real estate failson who said he’d end wars and lower fuel prices, just approved an Israeli airstrike on the largest natural gas field on planet Earth.

This is the quintessence of narcissistic sociopathy. And just plain stupidity. From @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Hahaha, brilliant 👏👏👏

Watch how News Corp blames the spike in inflation on the Labor government, when in reality it is THEIR GUY - Trump - who has caused this economic crisis by entering a war with Iran without a plan. This is Trump’s inflation and now it’s Labor government’s problem to solve, along with oil shortages.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Onya Kent . Well done

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... Tillies win 💚💛Great game showcasing solidarity for team mates and resilient Australian women . Sandilands having his contract terminated is the icing on the cake this morning . Thank you @mfwitches.bsky.social for your relentless hard work

The way Ticketmaster has manipulated ticket sales for the Matilda’s semi finals game in Perth has been beyond disgraceful .

“Play alarmist politics” There is far too much of that in today’s political discourse without ramping it up further.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

This is malicious and a dreadful social media post . To suggest that decent Labor women celebrate war is the sort of thing Hanson would say about Muslims I hope these posts are raised in the media and the Senate . Enough is enough of this unproductive hatred . @senatorwong.bsky.social

share.google/MogfDHJlp3st... Netanyahu should be at The Hague . Trump should be in prison . Killing innocent families is a disgrace Can’t help thinking that it’s bit like Hitler trying to take on the Eastern front in WW2 . Have they bitten more than they can chew? It will bite them on the bum.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... Good stuff

Not a single country has agreed to Trump’s demands to send warships or troops to Iran. The most he’s gotten are vague statements about “considering their options.” Quite a few are ghosting him entirely. Threatening, insulting, and tariffing your allies has consequences.

Name calling and personal insults - ON or Green? Same same but different.

Trump is barking mad

Trump seems to be pushing for World War 3 . Everything that bloke touches turns to chaos, heartbreak and mud

😪Nearly every day of my 47 yr nursing career I witnessed violence or aggression in the workforce . It was probably the worst in Emergency depts. Can’t recall experiencing this in Brunei or on Christmas island where most of the patients and visitors were Muslims .

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... If we are ever going to try and end intergenerational poverty and intergenerational illiteracy we need to address structural inequalities .The LNP have never made an effort to help the poor and vulnerable in this country .

Proud to be ‘union thug’ member of the AEU 💪

Hey Fauziah Ibrahim and abc news Am proud to be one of your ‘union thugs.’ Over 350,000 of us in Oz 😊😊

If you want to know why it won’t be a full house for the Matildas on Friday night … 😢

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... When workers’ jobs are cut by millionaires. It’s always about money and profits even from so called progressives 😢 That’s a lot of Australian workers

Yep . A lot of Australian nurses, doctors and university staff are just collateral damage. There are always a lot of expats from really poor countries

Michelle Gratton is onto it too: 'it’s now Canavan v Joyce' Matt Canavan was once Barnaby Joyce’s staffer ... Now, in selecting Canavan as their new leader, the Nationals have chosen him to spearhead the party’s life-and-death fight against One Nation. #auspol theconversation.com/view-from-th...

@davidshoebridge.bsky.social there are over 24,000 Australians in the UAE and 3 Uni campuses , Wollongong, Curtin and Murdoch in the UAE. What is your message to expat nurses, doctors and teachers working at hospitals and tertiary institutions and expats who are from poor countries too?

Senator Matt Canavan and Darren Chester MP are the new Leader and Deputy Leader of The Nationals. Hilarious because Barnaby Joyce is godfather to Matt's kids ... and now its Matt's job to minimise Barnaby & One Nation's votes. #auspol

They’ve learned nothing from Chandler Mather/Bandt and have become a mirror image of the far right. Name calling, personal attacks and porkies in lieu of policy would be sad if it wasn’t so funny.

www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10... Cooker Canavan .

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... So abc ‘experts’ are we technically at war with Russia too ? Didn’t we send the same aircraft to the Ukraine ?

No words. You can't make this shit up.

Malcolm X: "A lie told once is questioned. A lie repeated often enough becomes accepted. And once it becomes 'common sense,' people stop investigating it. That is how deception survives." ….and here we are 😞

Today's thought: No country is going to war over renewables
