The Australian Government makes more money from HECS repayments than it does from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. Read more here: https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/in-2023-24-australians-paid-more-than-4-times-on-hecs-help-than-gas-companies-did-on-prrt/

Excellent question

Bob Carr knows it: I know it: 80% of Aussies know it: #ALBO you know it! @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social You can DO SOMETHING about this heinous #genocide ! Censure the govt #IZrael . Expel the #IZraeli Ambassador. Withdraw Ambassador to #IZrael . Stop trade with #IZrael . 🇭🇲🦘🤠

Dear @albomp.bsky.social is it problematic that one of our allies is threatening another one of our allies? Asking for 26 million Australians who are paying for the world’s worst military deal.

There's some sick shit on here folks. app.getresponse.com/view.html?x=...

Merry Zionist coup Australia, I mean school holidays I mean Christmas I mean hold onto your arses.

Whether it is Albanese's kowtowing to the Segal lobby or Frydenberg's over the top dog whistling, it is intentional. They have witnessed the power of divisive rhetoric overseas and have decided to try it here. Hopefully, the often mentioned Australian bullshitometer is real and working. #auspol

#auspol politicians and many with loud voices are using this tragedy in ways that divide us more. I just hope that they’re unaware of what they’re doing and the divisive rhetoric is unintentional. Many Jewish people are asking for calm and love. While our politicians listen to zionists. #WeAreOne

The police were authorising fckin Nazis to parade at parliament while *at exactly the same time* the alleged Bondi shooters were getting terrorism training in the Philippines. But sure, gotta look long and hard at those peace protesters.

John Menadue: “With the complicity of Australian Ministers, senior public officials and journalists our national sovereignty is being seriously eroded. Our military is being fused with the US. 19th/20th Century we were drawn into UK’s Imperial wars. We are now drawn into the US’s imperial wars.”

Thank you Ronni Salt, for making it crystal clear what a masterstroke in crap politics, Albo's appointment of Jillian Segal, was. It was an insult, a slap in the face to every decent Australian.

Ronnie Salt.

And again.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

Must watch if you want to know what’s what and who is up who

i wish the journalistas would get as upset about this as they do ALP MPs getting on a plane with their family

Following the Bondi attack, it's hard to judge how much the uncritical parroting of Netanyahu lines is just bad journalism, or the Israel lobby's influence. The latter was so clear in the Antoinette Latouff case. But ABC Board & management have never properly addressed it. #auspol

More and more Aussies are voting independent. The response from the major parties has NOT been to ‘be and do better’, rather to rig electoral laws to favour them. It’s undemocratic! @zoedaniel.bsky.social and I are asking the High Court to strike out those laws. #auspol

Fauziah Ibrahim of 'labotomised shthd' fame attempting drama about Netanyahu. LT explaining to FI like she's a primary school kid. #auspol

Jillian Segal the so-called anti semitism envoy and funder of hate group Advance, apparently has put out a #bondi statement equating the massive anti genocide March across the Sydney Harbour bridge months back as a cause of this terror event. She needs to resign and repay every cent to the taxpayer.

Please, never blather on about shared Australian values again when you speak of the US and Israel. Or the UK. They haven't a shred of respect for international laws, human decency, or anything resembling the values of the average Australian. We're not the idiots you assume us to be.

Albo, you're actively eroding Australian democracy with your secrecy, putting the wants of lobbyists before the needs of your voters. Disgraceful. You should be shown the door. theaimn.net/the-shadow-c...

Um, call me old, call me a wowser, but why do responsible parents feel the need to take their children to an ear splitting, petrol guzzling aggressive shit event like this in the first place? tohttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-13/fireball-derby-racecar-wheel-hits-spectators/106139478

And Albanese's "usual way", like the Gambling Reform Report, is to COMPLETELY IGNORE IT! It takes courage and a backbone to implement meaning full changes, and unfortunately, our PM does not have either.

The Albanese govt needs to do two things to save the #NACC: - sack Brereton - amend the legislation so it stops covering up corruption, and actually investigates it. Publicly. #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Whatever happens, war or war avoidance, Trump has already turned against NATO and sided with Putin. Republicans: You either pull Trump down, or you are siding against America. Trump has NO MANDATE to turn against NATO & back PUTIN.

It's not at all staggering just how authoritarian, right-wing, gaslighty and pro-establishment this ALP government is. That's long been the trajectory. What's staggering is that so many people refuse to see it.

Anyone surprised? Nah, didn't think so. michaelwest.com.au/segal-secret...

Here it is @nail82826717.bsky.social

An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

Framing the teen social media ban as standing up to big tech to protect the children is such bullshit. If they had any desire to stand up to big tech they’d tax it properly.

It's Anti Corruption Day and to celebrate here is the schedule for the hearing into the NACC on Thursday

Why is #Brereton titled The Hon? There is nothing #Honorable about him, his failure to charge anyone over #RobotDebt or find any Politician to charge over #Corruption should make him COMPLICIT not honorable Today is #Anti-AntiCorruptionDay #NACC #AusPol

"We criminalise/prosecute an Australian citizen for carrying a Hezbollah flag under our C'wealth Criminal Code, yet we hear no talk of applying our laws to Israel, its officials/military implicated in acts that breach the principles government just vowed to protect." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/12...

The beauty of Australia's Safeguard Mechanism...it work so good! ...for fossil fuel producers... #Santos #CarbonCreditUnitsSupportingFossilFuelProduction

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

Shame Shame Shame

Well that worked so well under LNP Abbott, Morrison governments. Now Albanese Labor Govt having a go. Cut guts out of skills and knowledge of public service in every industry, employed more expensive consultants who robbed Australia blind, offshored profits, and put the boot into the people.

Senator Thorpe criticises the government for ignoring these 100+ experts and groups to sneak the amendment through "without any scrutiny" "I'd be putting my head down in shame too, Minister"

Minister Gallagher refuses to answer basic questions from @davidpocock.bsky.social about whether they got legal advice that giving cops these powers to cancel welfare payments is constitutional "This is extraordinary that the government won't even confirm"

Greyhound racing is a deeply unpopular and cruel industry that is propped up by online wagering. It is beyond time to ban online betting on greyhounds & hasten the industry’s demise. #auspol #politas

Labor: poverty causes crime Also Labor: we want to punish people accused of a crime by taking away their only financial support #AusVotes2028 #auspol

116 legal and policy experts have now opposed Labor’s new powers for police to recommend cutting payments from people without them even having been convicted of a crime. Cops shouldn’t be anywhere near welfare law and Labor should withdraw this amendment. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/treat...
