Sloppy, careless policing is the least that can be said. Is this how the (mostly) male officers treat all cases? Or only those involving DV against a woman? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

As @michaelmazengarb.bsky.social pointed out, when Abbott cut jobs at CSIRO it inspired protests on the street. Now that @albomp.bsky.social is cutting it even more dramatically, why isn't the response just as impassioned?

This is why for a long time I've found the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science a rather insulting propaganda exercise www.abc.net.au/news/science... CSIRO funding as a percentage of GDP: 1982-83 = 0.17 2024-25 = 0.03 ... Scientific extinction event imminent?

Please don’t get your hopes up about the release of the files. There is zero chance trump is releasing the complete and unredacted files. He’s insane but not brave.

As a handful of us have been screaming for a long time now: there is no "ceasefire". The UN security council has approved the further colonisation of Gaza, and Israel is being rewarded for its genocide. It's still the 1700s in the West, we just have phones and cheap dopamine addictions now.

Adani have scammed Qld out of $100s of millions and the LNP Gov are fine with that. Great to see Labor and Greens pursuing this in QParl and the media. Features numbers from @australiainstitute.org.au research.

Calling Labor's current approach "incrementalism" or "small target" or whatever makes it sound like they are are an overly cautious progressive govt. Matters like this show that they are actively pursuing policies that make them indistinguishable from the centre right: not incrementalists at all.

The #ALP rightly spoke up for the #CSIRO funding cuts under the COALition however it is now too busy funding nuclear subs to care. Tell the #ALP to restore funding to our chief #Science agency. Here's a petition put up by #CPSU. Please consider signing #Auspol

This is happening in National Heritage waters of the Kimberley and Tassal/Cooke want to expand their operations! This is the same corporation, causing the same industrial fish farming problems as the salmon industry in Tasmania. See Environs Kimberley: www.environskimberley.org.au/swinbourn_ta...

In a wealthy country like Australia, we should be able to look after our older people with love and care. But Labor are treating older people like someone else’s problem.

All of this means much more pressure on hospitals, but it’s also got a real human cost: days gone without showers or help with meals, families moving across the country to step in, more neglect and pain for older people who deserve better.

How absurd. Labor’s callous decisions on aged care mean thousands of older people are stuck waiting in hospitals. These are people who are not sick, they are just waiting for beds and home care packages that don’t exist. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

The rhetoric from the Government, as it rolled out the new Aged care, was all about giving elderly people more "rights". In reality, the only "right" seems to be the right to pay more for the same services. #AgedCareReform #Auspol hellocare.com.au/the-aged-car...

Yep. Billionaires may have money, but money means little in a galaxy with only one Earth. No matter how much money someone has, the answer will always be the same. There is nowhere else. Tax them 90%. Let them keep 10%. Redistribute their wealth to help the planet & the less fortunate. 🌎 ⚖️ 🌱

Now if only there was proportional representation at the federal level 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

If blokes wearing high vis lose their jobs, there is lots of teeth gnashing. Thousands of bank workers have lost their jobs in the last couple of years. There's a media story about that here and there, but not much angst over it.

You may recall that the Albanese govt rammed through laws to shield the salmon industry earlier this year- against all scientific advice and without consultation. This is on them too.

New: "Minister Gavin Pearce has confirmed the closure of the commercial rock lobster fishery near diseased salmon pens south of D’Entrecasteaux Channel, citing concerns that antibiotic residues could prompt Japan and China to ban imports of Tasmania’s $90-million southern rock lobster industry."
