Gamblobbying! Even worse than it sounds and it has infected parliament! omg www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽 Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club. That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group. Just utterly unbelievable.

The jury is in. @albomp.bsky.social hates transparency. Loathes it! #FOI #auspol

Inequality and the future of democracy. Wealth inequity is corroding democracy. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

Scale. My @smh @theage cartoon.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit scared of any new ‘environment laws’ that Labor can get Matt Canavan and Andrew Hastie to vote for…I think they will be better described as ‘ how to build more mines faster laws’ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Cool with me.

Worth the read for insights into what's needed to pull back from catastrophic threats.

The zeitgeist for more MPs in #parliament to share the load and improve opportunity for #citizen #participation in #auspol is growing. Will @australianlabor.bsky.social listen AND respond?

Just a shout out and reminder about @politicalgadgets.bsky.social and the great work they do shining the light behind the scenes of our government and out MPs. #democracy #government #auspol #awakeningdemocracy #spotlight

Analysis shows that to get from the audited surplus of $89.9 million to an unaudited deficit of $142.5 million, $232.4 million revenue has been left unaccounted for. For more information about ANU’s budget claims: australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-anu...

We're asking the Port of Newcastle to stop the coal ships over the weekend of The People's Blockade of the World's Largest Coal Port. Thousands of signatures needed.  Please sign the petition that will be taken to the CEO of the Port of Newcastle here: risingtide.nationbuilder.com/stop_the_coa...

There's no point in our governments setting 'ambitious' emissions reduction targets if they won't actually take reducing emissions seriously. Expanding fossil fuels and relying on bogus carbon credits is NOT taking it seriously. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Australia faces a simple choice: double down on gas and miss our climate targets, or accelerate renewables and build a clean industrial base. Gas is not a bridge. It is a dead end. #auspol #fossilfuels

Their feelings are very delicate

Governments would literally rather pay a bunch of blokes to destroy magnificent beauty and the lungs of the Earth than do anything environmentalists and scientists call for. No reason. No thought. No discourse. Just “yeah nah”. The whole system is killing us. Time to cultivate the next one.

Lifeblood. My @smh cartoon.

"The statement makes 10 powerful commitments, inc to support the Australian Govt’s intention to recognise the state of Palestine, and for the PHAA to advocate for the Govt to halt the supply of weapons & weapon components which support the IDF." www.croakey.org/public-healt...

We need to take Dr. Snyder's advice. He's a very well educated, thoughtful man. He's studied this subject for decades. He knows what he's talking about.

This “soft secession” thing is real. The Disintegrated States of America coming soon

“It is truly extraordinary that of the three countries that are party to the deal, Australia – which bears the brunt of both the cost and the risk – is the only one not to have put AUKUS to a genuine review." Petition for an inquiry into AUKUS > theaus.in/AUKUS_inquiry

Reminder: It’s not for us to burn down the system - it’s already on fire. Our task is to grow our gardens in the ashes, and share the food and flowers. Speaking of which, have you registered for Rising Tide yet this year? www.risingtide.org.au/pb2025rego

Well this is exciting! The World Conference on Health Promotion will be held in Naarm/Melbourne in 2028. International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) expects 1,500 delegates www.premier.vic.gov.au/health-promo... @croakeynews.bsky.social

It’s time we believed Labor when they tell us they are quite happy to see countless people, not to speak of creatures, die in fires, floods, droughts and storms, so as to enable the fossil fuel industry to keep making profits a while longer. The old world is dead. Time to birth the new.

How viruses interact with ecosystems and being proactive to address the source of the problem while protecting our environment was highlighted at the #AustPH2025 plenary on #OneHealth on 18 Sept in Wollongong/Dharawal Country.

A modern democracy, with the most moral army in the world.

"We're telling 20 year olds to worry about superannuation they won't get until 2065. "This report is saying there are catastrophic risks coming right now, way before you need your super." 🔊 Executive Director Richard Denniss at the Senate Environment Committee @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

So grateful that Simon Copland wrote this excellent takedown. I thought I needed to write one, so was slogging my way through its arrogant, narrow-minded and turgid prose. Enough now. Abundant, one might say.

#AUListen #DemocracySausage 🎙️ Historian @frankbongiorno.bsky.social joins @markgkenny.bsky.social & @marijataflaga.bsky.social to dissect the Liberal Party's existential crisis and asks whether Australia's 'natural party of government' is heading for collapse. 🎧 ausi.anu.edu.au/news/latest-....

Suppressing Jewish voices on Gaza is a disgrace. #auspol #MSM #gaza

What a blast at # AustPH2025

[email protected] at #AustPH2025 calls us out for what we do, asks us to walk the walk, to stand with (not behind) Indigenous peoples, as Allies. And she is watching us!

What ways can people working in or studying #PublicHealth convey complex ideas in simple ways? Participants in the media and communications workshop at #AustPH2025 discussed using traditional and social media to bring about change.

It's telling that John Lyons' question brought into stark relief the normalisation of the bat shit craziness of the US administration. A brief moment of sanity brought about by a question that every sane journalist should be asking. Time for the 4th estate in the US to grow a pair. #auspol
