#ABCNews talking about submarines bring in their go to expert Jennifer Parker who won't say anything bad about defence as she is beholden. She is the principal and founder of Barrier Strategic Advisory. She is paid by those who want Australia to spend astronomical amounts on defence. #auspol

Yes now that Triple J plays american country music and soft rock on its play list. They seem to be rebelling but in the wrong way. #auspol

Broncos black jersey is too glittery this year. More like something kid dancers would wear at a talent show. #nrl #broncos

Apparently in 20 years time New Zealand will happily take the spent reactors from the Aukus submarines. #auspol #Aukus

Usually the right wing media would be having a coronary and be yelling from their TV studios and blasting on their webpages and front pages over the sacrilege of Aussie war graves. BUT they are all strangely quiet! I wonder why. Need to see Israel influence in Australia anyone? #auspol

Greenwashing to the extreme. Check out the "About Us" section. A who's who of right winger liberals, fossil fuel fans and others. In their media section there is a lot of mentions of the word "nuclear". #auspol #greenwashing coalitionforconservation.com.au/about-us/

Overdosing on schadenfreude. Should be a sackable offense, but will survive, thus continuing the decline of standards in Australian universities. #auspol Sydney academic used AI to write SMH opinion piece urging students to avoid using tech to ‘cut corners’ www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Foreign corporations doing what foreign corporations do. #auspol Lion is Japanese also owns Cascade. Hopefully the tasmanian micro brewery's get a boost. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

One for the media who are reporting in politics but seem to have no experience or critical analysis skills. #auspol #abcnews

So true, as the fossil fuel age ends we head towards the age of populist facists. #auspol

America under Trump is now selective in which laws apply and which don't. Although the right in Australia recently showed interest in judicial appointments. Australia should have very little to do with America in defence cooperation. Marles has long been bought by defence industry. #auspol #defence

"rules-based order" but not the rule of law! So if not the law who defines the rules? #auspol

For most people when they sell a house they are also buying a house. All this market manipulation makes no difference. Rich people owning more than one house, real estate agents and moguls who own real estate sites whinge about CGT and negative gearing and want an ever increasing price. #auspol

Too many taxpayer paid trips to study right wing strategies at Turning point. Aimed at fending off One Nation but Liberals have to sell their soul and a still don't have a chance of government for at least 2 elections. #auspol

Aukus needs a bit of a redesign. Docked Capital ships, submarines and parked jets all easy targets for drones in modern warfare. #auspol #aukus

Flicking between Skynews and ABCnews, both have opposition members attacking Labor policies pretty much unchallenged. Whilst few watch these, journalists use these interviews to set their stories and tone. #auspol

Perhaps the takeaway is that Australia doesn't really need submarines, nuclear or not. Once we accept that just think what future savings can be spent on. #auspol #aukus

Arrogance, entitlement and privilege all in one short clip. #auspol #robodebt #goodriddance

Well done NSW. Qld will whinge but they forget last year's sent off. Bring on game 2. #soo #blues #nsw #qld

NACC will do nothing. Labor and Liberals designed it to be like a show poodle. Pretty but useless. Scotty legacies like dog poo on your shoe, stink and hard to get rid of. #auspol #nacc #Scotty

Special envoy for antisemitism handling out jobs to mates. Scotty old mates keep giving the grifts to grifters and the winker thinks its all OK. Sic em Pocock. Can these upper level Public Servants not be sacked? or do their contracts still give them huge payouts if sacked? #auspol #robodebt

Two lifelong grifters. They do not care for anyone other than themselves. Fools fund them by voting for them @$5/vote. #auspol

An interesting fact for the LNP. Flogging a dead horse. #auspol

Good riddance to a LNP and Leigh Sales fan boy who under the guise of balance gave the LNP free air time during the last LNP government. #auspol #abcnews

Kieran Gilbert being grumpy on @SkyNewsAust apparently he wants nuclear NOW and if you disagree you're wrong. Perhaps a billionaire or two have been whispering into his ear. #auspol

Rorty has a history of rorts. #auspol

Paul Brereton's sole job was to protect the LNP and particularly Scott Morrison from accountability for Robodebt. He got highly paid jobs as rewards for his service. #auspol

Kath Jones showing the best upper management slimey weasel words to avoid accountability. Still collects a big payday and probably has a bit of a laugh about it over a posh paid lunch with other Dept Secs. #auspol

God pointing out a fun fact. #auspol Billionaires are a bane on our existence.

Exposing the prompts from the right wing media. The ABC used to try too hard to be impartial it now leans to the right. All those Skynews and RW cookers complaints are paying off. #auspol

Seems lots and lots of people are banking on making big money from the submarines deal whether its plan A or plan B. It's grotesque given that other than these enriched people no-one else benefits. Schools, hospitals and CSIRO are starved of funds. #auspol #Aukus www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

I'd like to see One Nation as the official opposition. They would have to address parliament and have actual real policies. Even the compliant Australian media would soon abandon the Pauline/Barnaby/Roberts train wreck. #auspol

The Australian public were never asked but Scotty if we wanted to go nuclear. It was just pushed through and a weak Labor complied. An expensive defence folly. AND they still avoid answering where the nuclear waste will be stored for 100's of years. #auspol #Aukus

If Abbott is the answer, then what was the question? #auspol

The social media ban isn't the cause. The cause is "news avoidance". People who don't want to know what is happening in the world, their town or politics. They are blissfully ignorant. This is bad as it will give media billionaires even more control of people without oversight. #auspol

A fabulous example of Ai slop. Someone's pay grade is too high.

Did Australia do this? #auspol

Killer post by Zali. #auspol

AND the article fails to mention Trump and his policies at all. A strange take for the BBC. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

This whole sub saga seems like bully boys in the change room fighting in the shower over who is top dog. But instead of nude and wet, its done in uniforms and suits in meeting rooms and its over who has the power and influence to spend even more taxpayers money. Macho BS. #auspol

Why is News Corp attacking tax reform? Because it’s actually a real estate company www.crikey.com.au/2026/05/20/t...

Dumb and mostly harmless people are everywhere. My neighbour has spotlights on all night because imaginary spy drones cannot fly in bright light. His source, the internet.

Author, Rukshan Fernando, needs to quit the cesspool that is X and join the more rational Bluesky. 2.6 mill haters, many who don't live in Aust or are bots is not a big selling point for X. #auspol ABC ditches millions of Australians on X for safe space on Bluesky www.rebelnews.com/abc_abandons...

The old: Couple with disabled child need a trust to buy a second house argument. Exactly how many people does this scenario apply to? The right wing media and One Nation clutching at straws again. #auspol #onenation #sunrise

Design fail. Why did apple do this? Because they know their cult consumers will still buy it.

archive.md/nPM0y Without a paywall hopefully.

Sadly only a few people comment that a whale is being held in a tank. Wild animals should not be held captive, it is cruel.

A cult not a church. Full of hate and control. #auspol #religion #atheist #atheism www.smh.com.au/national/my-...

Americans are paranoid of foreigners to the extent they will pull their cars apart to remove "spying". And this is not one or two cookers, it's a lot. Lessons for sensible Australians: America is on the wane. Quit Aukus. Can we trust submarines build by America. #auspol
