The coroner told the NT government in 2007 to keep a database about maintenance in public housing. It didn’t listen. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Read @sarahschwartz.bsky.social personal letter in The Guardian today | When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become. Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

Typical #NeinNews bollocks - "Occupied Palestinian Territories” is an entirely accurate reporting of the news #auspol

A letter to those who taught me my Jewishness, and who now sit on the other side of a deep chasm. When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Labor pledged to save $6.4bn through cutting the government's use of consultants and external labour, and yet here they are forking out more. The government's focus must be on rebuilding the public service for core work functions.

Disappointing but not surprising.

"I support the Palestinian bid for statehood in part because it will give heart to the ordinary people of the West Bank and Gaza," Sussan Ley told parliament on 19/09/2011. By May 2025 she no longer supported statehood for Palestine. #auspol www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

Terrified little boys playing soldier

Canaries. My @smh cartoon.

Watched the Surviving Malka Leifer story on Stan. Absolutely heart-rending, what those sisters went through. And just for a change (not), an insular community that closes ranks to protect the perpetrator not the victim. 🙄

Is the death penalty a priority issue for Australia or not? Previously they have said it is - so PM Albanese should be urging Singapore to halt an execution scheduled to occur on the day of the Australia-Singapore Annual Leaders meeting in Canberra on October 8. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Israel is demolishing Palestine while families still live in the buildings. 200,000 razed to the ground by weapons of war - and thousands of families erased from existence by a massive, genocidal government intent on wiping out an entire people www.nrk.no/direkte/xl/g...

A complete flip of the usual pattern we see in these updates - China's and India's emissions fell, and EU and US emissions increased..... ember-energy.org/latest-insig... @ember-energy.org

These elites of Australian journalism do their industry no favours. Then again, most of our political class have forgotten what it is to be, not just accountable, but transparent and professional too.

Wait, did the NPC watch everything that happened at the ABC and decided the lesson was caving to lobbyists is a good idea? What an absolute disgrace.

Outrageous to learn in #estimates that most of the federal $5.8 mil allocated to truth-telling wasn’t spent, and was then cancelled, and now NIAA are not working on truth or treaties, and have just half an FTE to monitor work by states and territories.

woo hoo! new train line date announcement! (sorry for anyone not in Melbourne and not as excited about this as I am.) www.youtube.com/shorts/UmRX0...

I just heard a zionist rep on the radio invoking the disproven zionist fabrications about Oct 9 at the Opera House and saying “nothing was done” m’am there was a lengthy and costly police investigation then the NSW Police Commissioner left her position almost two years early for no apparent reason.

let’s not memory hole the time a zionist group doctored and circulated a video to make false claims about activists at the opera house on 9 October 2023 and the two women who exposed the hoax have been removed from their positions at the ABC and NSW Police, one of them unlawfully.

techbros going all in on AI at this stage of the climate crisis is morally disgusting

If you want return on your investment, @democracydocket.com is where you must place your bets. @marcelias.bsky.social is living rent-free in the Republican consciousness, because he keeps BEATING them, using just his skeleton staff & a gold-plated copy of the Constitution,

Imagine that - no measurable change in arrests in DC since the deployment of national Guard troops. Color me shocked….

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

“Jane Fonda has relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment, a McCarthy-era initiative founded in the 1940s by her father, Henry Fonda, to protect against attacks on free speech.”

Seriously, "leftie" journos in that room, where. the . fuck. are. you? It might be time to put ethics and morality ahead of your career prospects. This is a holocaust and a fascistic assault on democracy in the West. And you're just gonna sit there quietly? Go fuck yourself.

BREAKING: Labor is actively hiding the truth of Australia’s genocidal supply of F35 fighter parts to Israel. My office uncovered via FOI the Defence Department quietly deleted its webpage celebrating Australian companies pumping weapons parts to Israel to keep F35 jets flying.

The 'good guys' are totally the ones torturing a 22 y/o autistic woman who was illegally abducted in international waters for bringing food and baby formula to the trapped, starving, emaciated victims of a livestreamed genocide

according to this poll, the political class - major party politicians, corporate media outlets, institutions like Creative Australia and the ABC when they yield to orchestrated pro-Israel campaigns - represent about 20% of the general population on Gaza.

More than 2 years after the NACC was established, it hasn’t held a single public hearing. Now we learn the PM pushed to make it harder to hold them. Public hearings are vital to building trust - the Govt should be making them easier, not harder. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2025/10...

Fair territory representation is Labor’s own policy, yet the Govt has walked away from its promise of an inquiry. The Senate should ensure smaller jurisdictions have a democratic voice. But the Territories are underrepresented. Govt should keep its word. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907993...

Could the National Press Club be less embarrassing and less complicit in the genocide of Palestine/the West's decline into overt fascism, pretty, pretty, pretty please? 🙏 Cancelling Chris Hedges' talk on the betrayal of Palestinian journalists only proves his point. Truly, truly pathetic

if you missed the gamification of murdering children reports, this is the UK surgeon working at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, who told the world what he saw with his own eyes. www.democracynow.org/2025/7/25/ni...

the same people who gamify murdering Palestinian children are telling you who they are by forcing a world-famous young white Swedish woman to kiss the flag. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Trump is not clever, he is powerful. The world is not responding to what Trump says about Gaza but to who is saying it. Sarcasm is no substitute for analysis of imperial white patriarchy.

WTF!!! More than $630,000 in state government funding has been set aside to renovate a property part-owned by a south-east QLD councillor. While a QLD LNP MP supported by the councillor in the 2024 state election spruiked the project, without disclosing the property’s owner 😡

💯 facts, that's how fucked this really is and always has been

Australia calls on unarmed civilians sailing lawfully in international waters and upholding international law, namely the convention on prevention of genocide, and Israelis committing an aggressive illegal military attack to respect international law [paraphrased] can they fucking hear themselves?
