Meanwhile the churches are buying up swathes of land and building luxury housing

This isn't so much religious freedom as the freedom to let paedophiles have free access to children.

"If data centres were a country, they would be the second-largest destination for gas turbines ordered from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026" New IEA report confirms this isn't a normal industry. It is a fossil-fuelled, high-polluting heavy industry producing socially corrosive products at massive climate cost.

The NACC is in crisis, thanks to the leadership of Brereton. The Albanese govt owns a large share of the responsibiliity too, and now has a serious mess to clean up. By Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter and I. ICYMI:

Shout out to all those Labor women being transformed into crumb maidens by their feckless misogynistic neoliberal male leadership

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Winter in Brisbane is bloody glorious, I tell you ❤️🌞

Richard Marles went to Singapore to meet the US and UK about AUKUS and came back with a slap in the face - then pretends it’s good - he was told that if we ever get any Virginia class submarines they will ALL be second hand, none will be new. If that’s the good news … end AUKUS!

You can read the whole deluded statement here, including where it highlights how Australia is racing to spend $8 billion of our money to build the US a nuclear submarine base off Perth by 2027 www.minister.defence.gov.au/statements/2...

Fuck me, YouTube is AWASH with AI slop. Listening to a Burt Bacharach compilation and only 2 videos below it is an AI playlist of "original" music in the style of Amy Winehouse.

No wonder the rich are screeching. New research reveals that revenue equivalent to a quarter of Australia’s GDP flows through their tax avoiding trusts! The analysis conservatively estimates that family trusts alone cost the Commonwealth budget nearly $5 billion a year in foregone revenue! #auspol

A conversation absolutely worth having We can have so much better, and we are the ones who will make it happen

Dr Assal Rad— “𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘥 “Come on @reuters.com.”

I don't wanna #EatTheRich, just tax them enough so that everyone can eat. #Auspol australiainstitute.org.au/post/no-wond...

The ONLY way these billionaires made so much money is through corruption & theft. Our wages not rising in the same amount of time is proof of that. PS: ANYONE who blames me for their existence, gets muted and unfollowed. I did not create billionaires. And I will not be blamed for their existence.

As a survivor, this almost makes me cry it is such wonderful news 🥹

The best they can manage is to reheat some old leftovers 😂 The pickings must be desperately slim

Proud to be an Evans!

This makes me burn 😡. Do you know what a community service could do with $200k? Do you know the HOOPS they have to jump through to get funding? Flagrant robbery. The bureaucrats enabling all this should all be sacked/jailed.

My sister had a client forced to make the decision of giving her children up for adoption last week after she was cut from the NDIS. The real human costs that our politicians rarely see.

This whole thing is nuts michaelwest.com.au/bhp-urgent-s...

*sigh* I looked at social media instead of going outside and getting Vitamin D and fresh air and now I am hyped up and cranky 😡

All of the LNP's talking points - like being against Net Zero and hating transpeople and denying women rights to their bodies - are all active Advance campaigns. Why are the LNP committing this self-harm? Because it worked to get the Republicans control of the USA so they could destroy it.

Isn't it INTERESTING that so many LNP folk are involved with Advance but so far all Advance have achieved is the ruin of the LNP's federal vote?

It’s a stupidly high bar but I believe this to be Craig Brown’s finest work

I learned this morning that well-funded American anti-trans groups are in the UK attacking Park Run for allowing transpeople to take part. You know they will try that bullshit here too. RESIST. Remember the Epstein files revealed that the child rapists are behind anti-trans hate propaganda 🤢

Kmart exploits disabled people on a "supported wage" that allows them to pay as little as $2.50 an hour. They certainly don't offer the "high quality jobs" the minister was promising yesterday. Kmart shouldn't be allowed anywhere near what they refer to as ~vulnerable~ people.

This is 100% the cruel calculus of the Labor strategists. They Do Not Care about the lives of Australian people, only the profits of their donors

My cat has been following me around the house while I tidy up. The minute I sat down she leapt into my lap. It's a cold day in Brissie!

Trash man is trashing everything he touches. As promised. I wonder if the "I'll vote One Nation to blow everything up" are paying attention to the consequences of that attitude?

I am so grateful for voices like Greg's, otherwise I'd think I was going insane. Our media are a big part of the problem. And Gine Rinehart buying into Ch7 will not help

The Dewey Decimal system is not such a great way of categorising information but MIT closing the Dewey Library does seem like a pretty retrograde act for an institution of learning.

300 children as young as 10 have been funnelled in Northern Territory prisons in the last 5 months.

🤔 Paul Brereton was more corruption as usual which was disappointing because we thought we might get some accountability... Siegel is unelected and attempting to push Australia into authoritarianism.

Are we in Israel?

Which was Albanese's worst appointment? Jillian Siegel or Paul Brereton?

There are very few jobs in which the behaviours that he has indulged in would be tolerated. He literally worked for another employer while on the payroll of NACC. I wonder if the ATO will investigate his taxes?

Arrogant scum, and the ALP chair should not be protecting him.

Joanna Howe faked the citations she gave in a submission to the Senate to pretend that women and doctors routinely murder viable babies at birth for the convenience of women. She is a shameless fraud.

He was never fit for this job and it reflects very poorly on Anthony Albanese that he left him in the job for so long

We cannot leave it up to the private sector to care for the vulnerable. History has taught us time and again that the private sector will allow abuse and neglect, anything so long as the money keeps coming in. We must nationalise disability care, aged care and child care

Greens out there asking the questions the media never manage

Private schools are sending Australians broke! Literally! Private schools file more bankruptcy proceedings than banks, insurance companies and local governments...COMBINED. My post over on @thepointau.bsky.social liveblog. live.thepoint.com.au/2026/05/the-...

'A 4,500-year-old Egyptian beadnet dress, crafted from approximately 7,000 blue-green faience beads. It dates back to the Old Kingdom's 4th Dynasty (circa 2551–2528 B.C.E.) The dress was unearthed from a tomb in Giza and painstakingly reassembled from loose beads found among human remains.'

I hope to hear news of his arrest on charges of corruption very soon.

The funny thing is they say "Smash Labor, smash the Greens" but all they've smashed so far is the LNP's primary vote.

"We need to talk about Advance. Behind every far-right stunt in Parliament – from ripping up climate targets to turning backs on First Nations voices – there's Advance: a billionaire-funded machine working to drag Australia backwards."

There was a time, not long ago, when peaceful protestors were never sent to jail in the UK But at least 286 people have been locked up for protesting climate breakdown and genocide in recent years It's a fucking scandal

Let's call it what it is: Grotesquely wealthy people using their money to buy power.
