What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Really??? What are you doing behind closed doors @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social that you are so afraid to reveal? Exclusive: PM’s office directs lobbyists to use encrypted, disappearing messages www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

Yesterday a discussion on the ABC about house sharing for older Aussies..."Could this be a solution to our housing crisis?" I sent a text in. To their credit, they read it - "We're literally going to explore every Mickey Mouse idea EXCEPT neg. gearing & property hoarding, aren't we?"

Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.

Wanna solve the housing crisis? Unless you talk about tax, I don’t believe you.

Penny Wong tears into the Coalition for “chasing the political fringes” & “trying to outflank One Nation” with their hard right anti-environment agenda “And they are trying to drag the country to where their internal party arguments have taken them”💥 Sad but totally correct #QT

Perfect summation.

Vaccinating boys and girls. It works bitches.

In early 2025, the Israeli military launched an operation that emptied three Palestinian refugee camps. They've blocked their residents from returning and razed many of their homes. In a new report, HRW finds that Israeli forces carried out war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

Quite obvious that @albomp.bsky.social Govt stuffed up NDIS & Support at Home Program for seniors by outsourcing govt service delivery to a plethora of price-gouging private sector outfits who are bleeding these programs dry. All service delivery should be effected by govt employees only #auspol

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?" My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.) The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope? Because Greta is right ..

Roger Cook Anthony Albanese Murray Watt I’m sure you offer your sincere condolences for the deaths of our corals, anemones, fish, sea snakes, turtles… Ningaloo is like the canary in the coal mine. Extinction is forever.

Great piece on why politicians lie and how the media falls for it. The right have been doing this to undermine climate action for decades!

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Think I'll just park this here.

“Well I’m glad they got rid of Battin. He was a blue collar worker. Not our sort really” “Blue collar?” “Isn’t that what they call cops? Thin blue collar workers? Anyway, he wasn’t really the right fit for us. Like that federal one. Peter somebody”

Indeed it is criminal negligence, they could have simply delivered compliant devices.

Thankfully so far Gina seems to be a truly lousy puppeteer.

This was good listening, looking forward to reading the Quarterly Essay www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

As Pauline Hanson tries overturning a court ruling that reaffirmed she is Racist, Mehreen Faruqi’s lawyer Jessie Taylor enlightens court on a book Hanson wrote saying she feared by 2050 we’d be ruled by a “lesbian, cyborg, Asian woman” Taylor “Senator Hanson’s worst nightmare”🤣 #auspol

Out the front… (sound up).

No, they don't, experts never give the answer the LNP wants, nice try to ask a bank expert to back their NO Net Zero though #estimates #auspol

Yes, Kaylene Whiskey and her work are both wonderful and wonderous.

True.

Zoe Daniel has unleashed on Tim Wilson saying he’s now “compromised” after taking a Net Zero policy to the election & turning his back on the ppl of Goldstein “To stay in the party at all, I think is really problematic.” “He failed. He’s ineffective.”🔥 #Abc

This "police response" demonstrates that police, on the whole, haven't been responding very often at all.

Yes, this is a good idea, how about it @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol

So will there be ‘adult time’ for a well connected private school asshole from the same class as the judge?

There's an 11year old girl sitting in adult cells in Perth lockup because she got caught shoplifting a drink and a pastry from Coles.worth less than $10
