absolute must-read

The Opposition moved to declare no confidence in Premier Allan. It's already lost. The real story: a $15 billion CFMEU corruption claim on Big Build & IBAC admitting it can't follow the money into private contractors. The fix isn't due until 2027, after you vote. open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

"We must be monocultural," Hanson told the National Press Club this week. Humans tried that in nature. It's called extinction. Monocultures don't survive contact with reality. That's not opinion - it's biology. Full breakdown in this week's article. Link below. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

Thank you Gavin. Onward we press. Sue x

Terrific article - pls have a read

Keeping it simple. Onward we press.

Excellent argument here: Political 'Lord of the Flies' assumes worst of us www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Terrific, but for me, a complex subject. Comprehensively explained. Take the time to read it all. Well done yet again @suebarrett.bsky.social. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Onward We Press.

Outrage without strategy is just noise. The Rinehart/IPA/Hanson machine counts on that. A confused, scattered, exhausted opposition isn't a threat. It's a resource. Time to change that. Stop being naive. Start being strategic. Article 4 in the series. 🔗 👇 open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

The bill for the massive cuts to the NDIS show a future Health Minister could essentially kill the NDIS without even having to legislate it. Chief Economist Greg Jericho unpacks the bill on the latest episode of Dollars & Sense. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social

IPA has declared One Nation the only mainstream party in Australia. Think tanks don't stay loyal to losing parties. They stay loyal to power. Your Vote. Your Future. Tuesday's #BeforeYouVote article 👇 #auspol open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

You want straight talking? Here it is. No jet required. Pauline Hanson says she tells it like it is. So let's do exactly that. The system is not broken. It's working exactly as designed. Against you. These are the headlines the mainstream media won't run. 👇 #auspol open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

Excellent blog here laying out the long term plan of appearing as an alternative while not actually being alternative, as it has been working and continues to work: bsky.app/profile/sueb...

Here's how we do it...........brilliant: @suebarrett.bsky.social suebarrett.substack.com/p/when-legit...

Just adding this quote to TrueNorth today - and worth sharing here. Such an exciting sector to champion! Something positive and impactful we can all support as it feels like the walls are moving in. Independent news media really matters - especially now! #auspol

Thanks, Gavin. I am building toward something so stay tuned. Onward we press. Sue x

When the Two-Party System Fractures - What Actually Happens Next? Something is coming to replace the old system. The question is whether what replaces it is genuinely community-led - or whether it becomes what it set out to replace. New Tuesday piece 👇 #auspol open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

Legacy media won’t stop normalising ON. Time to admit this - and move on. We’re fortunate to have such a well developed independent news media landscape to move on to #auspol

A 25% tax on gas exports is popular with voters across the political spectrum. Which is unsurprising considering it would raise $17 billion every year to help pay for essential services! #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social

"The Australian government doesn't like to be confronted with the fact that we're still opening new gas projects while telling everyone we're transitioning away from fossil fuels." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Union Canal, Edinburgh…

None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something to support and protect our democracy. No one is coming to save us but us. We all have a role to play. Start today! #auspol If you'd like one of these t's - go here www.redbubble.com/people/democ...

Latest example of the documented result of what happens when supposed ‘centre left’ parties go to the right to try and appease conservatives rather than stand for something different - voters go even further rather than stick with the imitators

Sound familiar, Australia?

Sounds very similar to Australian Labor....

"A tragic birth, and death, in a tent – and still our poorest must pay" @amyremeikis.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

Compulsory voting is, along with preferential voting, one of Australia's superpowers, adding political stability, a sense of community, and fairness to the electoral process and to government. And frankly, I miss my democracy sausages. /End

@emmashortis.bsky.social with the best escoriation yet of the the US-Aust alliance. 👏 @gekko.bsky.social Australians ready to break up with Trump’s US www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/u...

New Australia Institute polling shows 59% of Australian voters believe Trump is a greater threat to global security than Putin or Xi. A year ago, it was just 31%. "Most Australians are ready to break up with Donald Trump's version of America." @emmashortis.bsky.social #auspol

A recent ad from the Minerals Council of Australia wants you to believe the mining industry pays enough tax to fund Medicare. Which is NOT TRUE for 8 out of the last 10 years! #auspol

Meanwhile, Brisbane is burying its already reclaimed inner-city Victoria Park Golf Course under an elites-only sports stadium and gambling palace.
