Thanks for putting in the time to reveal this blatant waste and failure of Party Politics. @albomp.bsky.social promised a NACC with teeth, we got one with less than gums.

I've just done a road trip Perth to East Coast. It is a great experience, everyone should do it, so much to see. However, mobile phone service was non-existent most of the way. Tell me how submarines are the priority? @davemilbo.bsky.social @punterspolitics.bsky.social @janfran.bsky.social

@janfran.bsky.social @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social Love your podcast, thanks. Please stop using the term 'Teal' to group the independent MPs. Would you be pissed off if independent media was placed under a similar blanket? I'm sure you would. We need independents in Parliament & Media.

Australia is assisting a genocide. theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Climate Change has been a topic of discussion for 50+yrs. Those that profit from fossil fuel extraction & use have known for 50+yrs that their industry is the cause, yet their greed drives them to deny it. They could have looked at the opportunity of alternatives over this time. Now everyone loses.

Excellent

Cathy manages to say so much...

It is difficult to understand how lying in politics is acceptable? Australia has a real problem with this too.

News some independents are considering forming a party? If true this is a sell-out of all those that have supported the community independents. We want democracy in Australia. Party politics is not democracy. @ronnisalt.bsky.social @quentindempster.bsky.social @ajgardineresq.bsky.social

Thanks advision.com.au

Once again the words of Ronni Salt ring true theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

With young journalists like Kalila Welch getting a profile, I think there is hope for the future. Great contribution to a great episode. Thankyou Kalila, Greg Dave & Jo.

Careful, all media & the socials algorithm are giving too much air to One Neuron. The hype around (Farrer by-election) their 1st seat in 30yrs is OTT. The win was a collaboration by the duopoly to ensure an independent didn't take the seat. Party politics is not democracy.

I think most media are confused! One Neuron have won 1 seat in 30yrs. They threw the kitchen sink at Farrer. Labor, Libs & Nats capitulated as soon as Susan Ley resigned, none wanted an independent to take the seat. They knew One Neuron could win where they could not. Thanks Gina. Job done.

Yes. The Farrer by-election is proof that money can buy a seat in parliament.

The result of the Farrer by-election is proof that a seat in parliament can be bought.

The Farrer by-election is proof that a seat in parliament can be bought. Gina has sent a message which we all should heed. The duopolys wish was that a community independent be defeated.

Read 'You Daughters of Freedom' by Clare Wright. The History of the Suffragette movement in Australia.

The power of the military industry. AUKUS will only benefit military industry suppliers. Meanwhile Australia has 1 single track rail line & 2 highway options between Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane. We are vulnerable, submarines won't save us.

Workers pay taxes, Wealthy pay accountants, Very Wealthy pay lawyers, Billionaires pay politicians...

Not true, this is also how politics works in Australia.

Labor have been right of centre since Hawke/Keating gave up on workers.

Labor fight smaller parties & independents in pursuit of support from oligarchs & multinationals by spending billions on AUKUS, demonising immigrants & refugees. Labor appoint an envoy for Zionists, incarcerate 10yr olds, strip funding from the disabled. They are not in touch with reality.

He's been talking to Albo ? @albomp.bsky.social

I could not agree more...

Growing plants to feed animals to feed humans is an inefficient use of land, water, and energy. Only eat plants, save the world!

Current window, advision, Fitzmaurice St, Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia. Contact your MP, Australia does not need to spend billions on 'fake submarines' . Our best defence is a cohesive society. Happy comfortable people with adequate infrastructure. Schools, hospitals, trains, roads ...

Exactly. This is not the playbook of party politics though. Only community independents truly represent their electorate.

The Shot. Always a refreshingly honest take on events War pigs, the Albanese way theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Humans, we can solve a lot of the current problems. It sounds simple, just eat plants only!

It isn't hard to understand why Albo is doing the bidding of the fossil fuel industry. The silence from Labor backbenchers is what surprises me. At least 20 federal Labor MPs will not return at the next election if they don't start standing up for their electorates now.

It seems that history tells us more than @albomp.bsky.social or Wong can?

True, here in Australia we are seeing it play out in the Farrer by-election. Gina Rinehart is the wealthy puppeteer, Poor Lean & Barnacle along with their candidate David Farley the puppets. They want you to believe they are different from the duopoly that Gina has been playing with for decades.

If it wasn't true it would be funny!

This is the current poster in the window of advision, Fitzmaurice St, Wagga Wagga. No explanation required!

Sending an Australian citizen to a foreign country, an Australian citizen that was arrested without charge, an Australian citizen held in solitary confinement. @albomp.bsky.social , Albo wants us to believe the regime in Iran is evil! Look in the mirror Albo.

For personal health, and the health of the planet, just eat plants.

It's not like @albomp.bsky.social has nothing to compare 'following the US into war' will result in. In my lifetime I have seen Vietnam, Afghanistan & Iraq. It can't end well, ##notinmyname

Can Australian media please report this. Can Australia please stop supporting the genocide.

Meanwhile @albomp.bsky.social continues to support the US and Israel with weapons and troops. I don't support this Albo. Withdraw Australian support NOW.

Absolutely, the current Australian Labor government are following Trump down this path. Get angry NOW, soon it will be too late.

It would be funny if it wasn't true?

Thanks Kent. Here is @albomp.bsky.social , he is being cute with a paedophile, warmongering narcissist. Don't be like Albo!

Which one is Karoline ?

a few yrs ago I would have said I believed Israel had every right to defend itself against hostile neighbours. Now, after improving my understanding of Palestine & West Asia I believe the world should condemn their actions & do everything possible to halt the expanding genocide. @albomp.bsky.social

Save the planet & end wars? become vegan. It sounds simple, because it is!

Thanks Amy, party politics allows big business and billionaires too much say in the direction of our country. We could have transitioned to a renewable economy yrs ago with good government.

OK , I will start with this suggestion to reduce/eliminate fossil fuel use NOW. #donteatmeat Please follow with a suggestion...

This post will be unpopular. Petrol & Diesel is too cheap in Australia. Take a look at any fast food drive thru today. Fuel hungry cars & utes lined up to buy food that is efficient to produce because fuel is cheap.

Thanks Cathy, how is it that, a cartoon can capture the truth in one frame, yet the rest of the media miss it in hours and reams of (miss)information
