A real week for Angus Taylor to show he will never be fit for government. Declares he'll - bring back an indexation policy so bad Howard had to undo it - deny entitlements from taxpaying permanent residents - delete trans people while pretending he "isn't targeting them"

Get Angry and Vote Green

Get Angry and Vote Green

If nothing else should get you to vote Green, this should. Your wages and conditions are undermined by there being no liveable safety net. In addition to the insane cruelty to unemployed people - and remember it's express RBA policy to keep unemployment high - this is how they exploit you too.

Great week for the right in Australia, particularly the media: - they got the ALP to cave on extracting a share of gas revenue for Australians - they got the ALP to cave on CGT on property investors and ending NG - they got Farrer rubes to buy Hanson as a force for change

Labor fail. If you let property investors continue to negatively gear against their other income, you can't force them to sell through other measures like land taxes. So it won't help. If you want the housing market fixed, the Greens are the only ones who'll do it.

Imagine if we had multiple left wing parties competing to be the best at delivering good public services to the public. Instead of a bunch of right wing dickheads competing to squeeze them the tightest so they can give rich people more money they don't need and use to harm everyone else.

Hey, you know another way to reduce inflation? Raise taxes on the rich. They're the ones with excess cash in the economy, not workers. Funny that option isn't even allowed to be discussed.

This reminds me of the political & media storm after a rabbi's car was set alight in Melbourne. After initial declarations of an "antisemitic firebomb" it turned out to have been a homeless person with serious mental health issues & a history of lighting fires. Also not "antisemitism". #Auspol

Rise up against these damn things before it's too late.

The last few paragraphs, the lobbyist claiming these AI data centres somehow help support Australian jobs and culture, is utterly risible. They do the opposite.

Contact your local MP. Make sure they know how much you don't want one of these polluting hellholes here wrecking your home and pushing hk the cost of electricity and water.

Episode 200 "Only Happy Things" feat @nickcarr.bsky.social, @amyremeikis.bsky.social and Tom Ballard now up on your favourite podcast app and at www.wellmaywesay.com/podcast/2026...

We should only refer to AUKUS as "Scummo's AUKUS". Make it clear to people how weird it is that Albo will sacrifice everything for this farce, this absurd scam concocted by a loser PM most (apparently wrongly) assume Albo despises. Make it as embarrassing for the ALP as it should be.

Expel the Israeli ambassador. Sanction this lawless, murderous regime. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Episode 200(!) with @nickcarrcomedy.bsky.social and @amyremeikis.bsky.social and Tom Ballard now recorded, just waiting for someone to finish editing it. What? Oh damnit that's me. Ok, on it.

Saudi finance bubble and AI bubble may burst. I'm hoping both happen

Maryam and her entire family were murdered by Israel yesterday in Jibsheet, South Lebanon. Another child, another family, who if they were Israelis, the whole world would know of their names. #DismantleISRAEL

"[Chalmers] flagged any reforms would not generate “a huge amount of revenue”" So Labor's going to squib it, and this is not going to help the housing crisis or anything. If you're a foreign corp getting our gas for free or a rich git destroying housing, your taxpayer-subsidised rorts MUST CONTINUE

Jim Chalmers said he wanted to “make sure that we recognise the decisions that people have taken in the past” What, so cos someone's been able to exploit an obscene rort for the last 25 years, they're entitled to enjoy it forever? What? What is this stupidity? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This framing in the interim report isn't great, that "antisemitic incidents" correspond with "events in the Middle East following the terrorist attacks on Israel carried out by Hamas on 7 October 2023" and "The outbreak of hostilities between the United States and Israel and Iran in February 2026"

"Prominent Aussies" say this, Daily Telegraph? You mean the same far right genocide-defender Israel lobby extremists as usual - former LNP politicians Tony Abbott, Josh Frydenberg, Nova Peris; Dawn "I'm not racist at all" Fraser; and someone so "prominent" I don't know who she is?

The Sydney Morning Herald thinks it's *good* for house prices to keep skyrocketing, and bad for them to plateau or fall. 23% further rise over 4 years is "ideal" you lunatics? These people want you in utter poverty or homeless.

200th episode recording next Friday with some special guests!

Australia should have expelled the Israeli ambassador as a result of all the war crimes and illegal invasions, but at the very least they should be expelled when their government is deliberately threatening our national security by ensuring Hormuz stays blocked.

High gas prices caused by Trump’s war on Iran are boosting Big Oil profits at your expense. And they’re still getting billions of dollars in tax breaks every year — meaning you’re effectively getting charged twice. Here’s what you need to know about Big Oil’s one-two punch.

Useless coverage of BRS from The Guardian, failing to acknowledge at all let alone prominently that the FULL COURT of the federal court found on the balance of probabilities that, despite his denials, he had murdered four Afghan men. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Looks like 70 years of running a brutal apartheid state results in a lot of the people who choose to remain being horrific supporters of genocide and murder.

This is how a dictatorship takes hold. Judges should be free from political pressure so they can apply the law justly and without outside influence.

War criminals. Rogue regime. Threat to Australia's national security. Expel the Israel ambassador. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

"our great Military is... looking forward to its next Conquest" said the leader of a great country we should definitely be allied with and giving $400bn for their submarine program.

The civilisation that is dead is the American one.

Yes. Perhaps I shall try to dream of an Australian journalist who compares the 25th Amendment of the US constitution to the fine print of AUKUS… and asks is there *any* thought of what this means for Australia’s military and what we’ve been signed up to - and any way to exit?

David McBride should not only be released ASAP, he should be awarded an Order of Australia. And whistleblower legislation needs urgent revision @paulrgregoire.bsky.social @quentindempster.bsky.social @squigglyrick.bsky.social @paulbongiorno.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social

Release McBride, yesterday.

Reminder Senator owned a fish n chip shop and always voices strong support for the worst quality men. A strong known history. I wouldn’t ever want her endorsement if I were a colonial male.

Reminder that you can & shd call BRS a war criminal without putting "alleged" before it. He's been found to have committed those war crimes on the balance of probabilities. Even if he was acquitted of criminal charges - which are "beyond reasonable doubt" - he's not "innocent". He can't sue you.

Episode 199 "Change from the Outside" feat Mike Griffin and @nickcarr.bsky.social now up on your favourite podcast app and at www.wellmaywesay.com/podcast/2026...

Re the US chucking a tantrum over Europe not joining its suicidal Iran war, but remember back in April 2025, not quite a year ago, when their VP was excoriating Europe for joining his own party's 2003 Iraq War? "Stand up to US foreign policy decisions," he told them.

Uh, @larissawaters.bsky.social - you could come out and do this you know. Harness the entirely justified anger about the RBA, gain some populist support, and force the ALP and LNP into defending the hated RBA.

Populism that would really speak to people and also be entirely correct - and force the other parties to tie themselves to the hated RBA

Absolute garbage coverage on this by @australia.theguardian.com. Note how all the bad-faith right wing positioning is done in neutral voice and anything critical of Israel is in quotes. Also the sheer volume of BS from one side quoted vs anything responding to it www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is such a disingenuous process and despicable outcome

Episode 198 "The Case Against John Howard" (feat. @amyremeikis.bsky.social) now up on your favourite podcast app and at www.wellmaywesay.com/podcast/2026...

The undeniable truth about house prices - it's pro-investor tax policy, not "immigrants". Via @grogsgamut.bsky.social

New episode recorded with @amyremeikis.bsky.social - just editing, hope to get it up tonight (while it's still the 30th anniversary of when the terrible affliction was imposed on Australia).

Deranged far right loon Jarrod Bleijie trying it on re a Labor MP criticising Israel. Belling the cat on what the "antisemitism" campaign is about. But if the comments are any guide, it's not going the way Jarrod had hoped. Criticising the far right government of Israel is not "anti-semitism".

Hegseth's boasting about slaughtering Iranians "until we decide it's over" Just insane stuff. And it will come back to bite, BC Russia and China will use it as justification to do whatever they like to weaker powers.

Obviously neither big government party is going to do this, BC they like using NDAs to silence consequences for their bad actions - much easier to use the public purse to make problems go away and avoid accountability - but it is something that could be forced on them in minority government.

We need to extricate ourselves from these lunatics
