The duopoly just joined forces in the Senate to vote down an #AUKUS inquiry. Never mind the political, technical & management risks associated with the program, or the $365B price tag - the two major parties are happy sleepwalking with your national security and money. #auspol

Thank you Dechlan Brennan @nit-bot.bsky.social – most thorough explantion of this to date. "It's a clear breach of the presumption of innocence and the separation of powers. No Minister should have power to punish someone just suspected of an offence without due process." @senatorthorpe.bsky.social

Excellent by @ketanjoshi.co "Australian gas exports don’t cut coal overseas, and here are the charts to prove it" thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

“Local military companies claim new restrictions are being applied on material sent from Australia to Israel, but the Department of Defence is declining to comment on the move citing “national security and commercial in confidence reasons”.”

Breaking news: documents reveal that Labor has done a hidden backflip to end some of the military exports to Israel. Now to end it all. thenightly.com.au/politics/aus...

@chrisminnsmp.bsky.social ALP govt chief sponsor of a weapons conference at Sydney ICC where a subsidiary of Elbit Systems is a vendor. Elbit made the drone that killed amongst others, the Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom. The Geneva conventions mean something. #nswpol #auspol #sanctionisrael

Labor is clearly not doing enough on climate change & panders to the fossil fuel industry, which is in reality a minor employer. However the Coalition is going full suicidal on their future, not only the city vote. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

No media about this? NSW Police investigated 14 incidents of alleged antisemitic attacks and found NO evidence of Iran or any other foreign agent acting in relation to the 14 alleged antisemitic incidences The Minns and Albanese govts both exploited this falsehood to further their own agendas .

Hey @australianlabor.bsky.social Israel has violated ceasefire over 100 times. Why does your party still support supplying a country committing war crimes with weapons parts? Why hasn’t it sanctioned Israel? Does it like countries committing war crimes? #auspol

At least 500 bodies recovered in Gaza since Israel’s so-called ceasefire - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/least-500-bodies-recovered-gaza-israels-so-called-ceasefire

You can’t see it, but this is my surprised face.

Norway calls for the immediate arrest of Netanyahu.

We all now know there was no ceasefire. Trump and Netanyahu are full of it. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

In case anyone is in doubt, Labor are trying to WEAKEN Environmental Protection laws. They want to fast track approvals & climate impact will NOT be part of assessment. If you hear the Greens are stopping Labor from passing Environmental Protections, remember that.

I’m supervising a PhD student researching the health impacts from heat islands and can confidently say the research is pretty robust that heat deaths are a thing! They will/are increasing with climate change. We need to be concerned about this.

How is your fossil fuel mining profit protection bill going? @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol

To save everyone's time, Labor should change the title of their legislation 'reforms' from Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act to Mining Industry Profits Protection Act. #auspol

@davidpocock.bsky.social Has created a parliamentary pass register so we can see who the lobbyists are 👇🏻 and which parliamentarians are hiding from transparency. #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social #murrayWattTF 🙏 David passregister.com.au

listening to an academic on RN describe the scenario I dealt with EVERY fortnight in the 2000s reporting my casual income as a DV survivor sole parent and part-pension recipient - when income is “earned” vs when PAID - and fuck me there is no excuse. THEY KNOW AND HAVE KNOWN FOR DECADES.

100,000 home batteries installed in 17 weeks. That’s 2,000 MWh of capacity—15x the original Hornsdale Big Battery. And they’re getting bigger. removing houses from the demand side of the grid, and dumping stored #solar in times of peak demand for profit. energy freedom #auspol

Let me say with confidence that Annabel Crabb’s new show Civic Duty will be a little propaganda piece that tries to reinforce the idea that an election = a democracy. It is untrue and a myth used to perpetuate inequality and retain control for the wealthy.

Another opportunity to ask questions about the absolute mess that is the government’s social media age ban and age verification plans this morning 👀

CCS is being used as an excuse by Japan and Australia to keep opening and using fossil gas. We know better. We also know these policies ‘fail at scale’ to reduce emissions. Australia needs to take its foot off the gas. Bill Hare, Climate Analytics; www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yep, just another @australianlabor.bsky.social politician assuring his highly-paid industry lobbying job post-politics.

Fried egg banh mi for breakfast. Is there anything better?

Officially old. Attended a Red Hot Summer concert. Crowded House amazing. All the acts great. Vika and Linda Bull for sheer electric energy though. What legends.

This is what happens when a supposed ‘deal-maker’ tries playing people with divergent values off against each other. Self-snookered, a slow clap for Minister Watt www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/24/e...

Nothing like a little coercion.. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10... "Watt says Australia risks not being able to mine for critical minerals or build more homes if the bill does not pass parliament." Australia's > 2000 threatened species and ecological communities have some questions, Minister Watt.

This like a billion times. Wind is the cheapest way to make electricity, if your bill is high it’s because of fossil fuels.

Five years on, Adani is still grinding away at Ben Pennings: chuffed.org/project/lege... Australia's legal system has some appalling failures with regard to malicious lawsuits.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Happy Friday to the super wealthy country where 150,000 children live in poverty. That's about 1-in-8 young kiwis. Obviously, there is simply nothing to be done about this.

Obscene cost overruns for the Hunter Frigate project now put the cost per ship at $5.9 billion (but the real cost is more like $9 billion including design and infrastructure). Even $5.9b is four or more times the cost of equivalent ships in other navies. What a waste.

It's all so familiar and so unsurprising. Many details remain buried in Australia’s rare earths deal with America www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/23/c...

Here's an idea, Minister Watt, activate your heart and spine, respect the advice of environment, climate and conservation experts, and work with the Greens to get the EPBC Act reform package passed. Your job is to be Minister 'for' the environment, remember? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Seriously .. if we want more than shit talking politicians .. something has to be done about the Labor party Ketan Joshi, on our governments climate policy

I will say it again. Anthony Albanese is as stupid as he is sycophantic. Hard to point to many decisions that are in the people’s interest rather than the interests of other countries or multi national corporations. www.bbc.com/news/article...
