When Govt first refused me access to Snowy 2.0 project reports, the cost blowout was only $3.1 billion. As my appeal progresses the Federal Court, the blowout has reached $39 billion. Disclosure of performance reports for all publicly funded projects should be mandatory. #auspol

The Hormuz snow dome. Today’s Sunday Age cartoon

Appalled but not surprised to see govt caving to the gas companies. This just makes me more determined to go harder on our campaign to get a fair return on our gas through a 25% tax on gas export revenue. Head to ourgas.com.au to add your voice. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

This is kind of odd. I screen grabbed the ad for “Objection”—the new Peter Thiel backed startup that uses AI to render a “verdict” re the veracity of journalists’ claims—b4 they took it down, revised it, & reposted it. The original version (below) featured Thiel. The new one (post 2) does not. 1/

My God Angus Taylor is so unimpressive

It wasn’t 62 million men, and if you keep lying that it was you aren’t “making a point”, you’re just lying. “62 million women have made false rape accusations!” See how that works? Facts matter.

Idris Elba should be Bond for two reasons: 1) He would be an excellent Bond. 2) Racists brains would melt.

Where’s our Special Envoy to Combat Racism Against Aboriginals? Probably in the same place as our Special Envoy to Combat Transphobia, and our Special Envoy to Combat Women Being Murdered. Right, Albo? #auspol

Booing the Welcome to Country at an Anzac Day ceremony is the same racism that Pauline Hanson performs every time she turns her back on the Acknowledgment of Country in the Senate. It doesn’t require a lot of analysis; it’s as sophisticated as she is.

Nobody else is allowed to lie in their advertising. Why do politicians get a free pass? End it. Truth in political advertising NOW. #auspol

Not concerning at all.

A reminder that companies including Coles and Westpac, and our Department of Defence, now have connections to Palantir. #auspol

All he’s got. My @smh cartoon.

The parasite class really are terrified that they will run out of new hosts.

There’s more… The Gold Coast mayor, Tom Tate, visited Mar-a-largo where he received free meals and accommodation and met with Donald and Eric Trump. Tom Tate… has form…

The Trumps want to build a Trump Tower on the Gold Coast. No. Sign this petition to the council to reject the proposal. @getup.org.au #auspol

At this point I think we can all safely mute the term “Tony Abbott” and never miss anything remotely important or interesting, ever again. I’ll start. #muted #auspol

The electors of Hungary turned out to have something in common with the electors of Warringah - a keen understanding that every opinion Tony Abbott has is, by definition, wrong.

The Pope is WEAK on crime is so gd funny; I am HOWLING

Is there a name for the trope where there is Completely Unrealistic Romantic Drama During a Crisis? Aliens have invaded, billions are dead, humanity faces extinction… but DAMN, she’s in a mood because the guy she likes smiled at another woman.

So…. #Hungary huh….. tick tock fascists

🐰🇮🇷 Close the Strait! 🦆🇺🇸 Open the Strait! 🐰🇮🇷 Close the Strait! 🦆🇺🇸 Open the Strait! 🐰🇮🇷 Open the Strait! 🤭 🦆🇺🇸 Close the Strait! 🐰🇮🇷 Open the Strait! 🦆🇺🇸 Close the Strait! Look, I say we're closing the Strait, and that's final! Don't try to talk me out of it! 🤡

America like Israel have shown us who they are Take note and never forget

It’s begun. “All you had to do was pay us enough to live.” #Warehouse #WarehouseFire #Revolution

Am old enough to remember when being charged with 5 murders would have been enough to get "serial killer" headlines.

Emperor penguins now endangered because humans are a pack of cunts

All good Mr Albanese, Ms Wong, Ms Segal? Is this what Australia supports – at best refuses to condem – Israel's 'right' to commit mass murder, day after day, for years?

Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) on Tuesday said he filed impeachment articles against Trump for the war in Iran citing his recent social media post promising to erase a “whole civilization” if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened immediately. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Spoiler alert: we’ve always been the bad guys

Prediction: Israel ignores the ceasefire; continues targeting Iran, Lebanon, and whoever else in the middle east they feel like bombing; Iran retaliates, and keeps the Straight closed; US blames Iran for breaching the ceasefire.

He backed down. No surprise at all. But how does he escalate the rhetoric from here? “An entire civilisation is going to end tonight, EVEN HARDER!”

Serious question: What happened to Naomi Wolf? Did she fall out a third story window onto concrete? Amoebic meningitis? From feminist icon to… whatever this is…

Ugh... The Internet is such a depressing and terrible place right now (because the WORLD is a depressing and terrible place). Gonna try and stay offline for a while. Everyone take care.

ABC Australia just reported that there is a lot of dispute about who should control Greenland NO THERE FUCKING ISN’T Akin to reporting that there is a dispute about control of Ukraine because one psychopathic murder / war criminal says so Normalisation of fascism in Australia is at crisis levels

Crackdown. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Statement: Jewish Council Condemns Adelaide Festival Removal of Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah

A small human (3?) dressed in bright pink mermaid togs* has just carefully constructed a sandcastle using a special shaped bucket. She pats it all over to make sure it's smooth, stands to inspects it, then makes the mighty ROAR of her mermaid people and STOMPS IT INTO THE GROUND. (5)

A lot of writers withdrawing from the Adelaide Writers’ Festival. Here’s a few… (thread)

sorry ladies, no Royal Commission into Domestic Violence maybe in the third term

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

Oh hi, AUKUS. #Auspol

How will @albomp.bsky.social react when Greenland is annexed and the president is arrested? #auspol Where is the actual bridge too far?

Hmm, seems the wheels of justice turn quickly in the US when the criminal president is from another country.

Public conversation in Australia is so moronic and disingenuously manipulated that paying attention to it is a health hazard. Semi-charismatic empty vessels, on behalf of the hyper-wealthy, squawk about why we need something racist, or fascist. Repeat until the sun explodes.
