How is this not terrorism?

A Ulysses Swallowtail seen by a friend in Cairns Australia yesterday.

News rooms urge caution around using the word 'terrorism' when talking about throwing a bomb at an Invasion Day protest, "it's not like something extreme happened like a uni student eating a slice of watermelon."

Here is a cartoon about the heatwave and are we allowed to blame anyone for it. Also Gina Rinehart's turtle. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This global heat map is extraordinary. Australian political leaders who pump out fossil fuels and ignore climate change are threatening our survival on this extraordinary continent.

I don't think people know just how much the billionaires, the elite of the elite, are contributing to ADVANCE and how they are destroying our democracy here in Australia. Another megaphone vehicle for hidden wealthy anonymous donors like Rinehart & MAGA mates to propagandise, lie & misinform.

YES

Australia Institute research shows that nurses pay more tax than gas and oil companies. Meanwhile, multinational gas companies get 56% of our gas for free and then export it overseas. Sign our petition calling on the government to fix our gas export problem ➡️ link in bio

That's "former" National Socialist Network member Cameron Cuthbertson in the red jacket, assaulting someone in Melbourne yesterday. He still hasn't been charged over his role in the assault on Camp Sovereignty last August.

The Australian flag is now a symbol of racial hatred and white supremacy. During the 1960s, Canada's previous Red Ensign flag, which featured a Union Jack, was also associated with racists. That's why Canada switched to the current maple leaf design🇨🇦 Time for Australia to change its flag. #auspol

This should be headline news for days. The IPA and Advance should be listed as hate groups for growing the racism that leads to this type of intended horrific violence. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Close to 50 degrees today but oil and gas companies AND THE GOVERNMENT say move along, nothing to see here

Put the Hoodoo Gurus on the flag and we'll salute that

What climate crisis? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Sounds like terrorism to me @albomp.bsky.social Why not charged with that #auspol So much for social cohesion

On #AustraliaDay, remember @jeremywalker.bsky.social’s efforts to alert us to Atlas Network affiliated outfits’ work to drum up hate for the Voice (thus First Peoples) to prevent inconveniences for the resource sector: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/ind... #auspol

to be clear, police actively target Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The passive voice framing of “disproportionate” impacts on Blak children implies happenstance. Kids in wealthy white areas shoplift, and steal cars, and smoke pot and damage property. They are not policed.

I don't get why the oil, coal & gas execs, the govts who give them approval to continue causing this, to, in fact, make it worse ... why they seem to think they'll be immune to the results of all their damage. No sane human would continue 'to light a match when the gas bottle is leaking'.

These Australian towns could approach 50°C this week

Heat kills, and it’s time the Albanese government did something about it. After record heat scorched Vic today, I’m kicking off a campaign to name heatwaves & save lives. While we’re at it, perhaps we should name deadly heat after those making the biggest contribution. Heatwave Woodside, anyone?

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

People in the Greater Otways area are being asked to prepare to evacuate before sunset today, 26 January 2026, due to the Carlisle River fire. Leave as soon as you are ready. Check VicTraffic for road closure information traffic.transport.vic.gov.au/ www.emergency.vic.gov.au/respond #VicFires

Thanks for turning out in big numbers #Naarm to acknowledge that the 26th was the date of the colonial invasion of the country we call Australia. The national use of the date is recent. We don’t have to party of the day that signalled the start of genocide. #SurvivalDay #Auspol #Melbourne

"Always Was, Always Will Be ... Aboriginal Land" John Paul Janke explains where the phrase comes from, what it challenges, and why it still matters today. #auspol #InvasionDay

Loving Australia does not mean denying its history. You don’t get to cherry-pick only the comfortable parts and call it progress. Loving Australia means wanting a national day that includes everyone, not demanding silence from those it excludes. #ChangeTheBloodyDateAlready

Invasion day rally. #Changethedate.

This is really good. Every Australian should know about the influences underpinning our politics - which goes a long way to explain the mess we’re in #auspol

If Australian governments were serious about reducing racism, they would make a concerted effort to implement the National Anti-Racism Framework released in2024 vs creating more more half baked laws which won’t address the underlying issues behind racism.

Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society. It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.

Libraries, museums & festivals getting trashed by cuts & because so many boards now stacked with business people, ex-politicians, incompetents & toadies & one or no arts reps. More & more public & iconic cultural institutions have been taken over, charters abandoned; now being wrecked from the top.

When 15 people are massacred by terrorists in Bondi, Netanyahu blames Albanese - and the media follows his cue. But Netanyahu commits mass murder and enforced starvation every day, and it’s silence from Albanese and our media (oh, except for a ceremonial invitation to Israel’s pres). Pretty stark.

The Zionists demanding a Royal Commission want a two year platform to criticise the Australian government and condemn peace marches, journalists who say ‘genocide’, university protests, and the recognition of Palestine. No thanks.

How in the goddamn flying fuck do we live in a country where the murders of 15 people from one racial/religious group ONCE requires both a Royal Commission AND the deployment of the army but the murders of 80 women EVERY YEAR since time immemorial fucking doesn’t?? #NewsCorpse

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

2/ theconversation.com/trump-wants-...? Will AU Government meekly accept this rather than repel it because to invoke foreign interference laws might hurt America's feelings, damage Trump's ego &/or they won't come to our aid when China invades? Stay woke. Pretty sure USA has lots more plans for AU.

Warm homes are not aspirational. Affordable food, power and rent aren’t aspirational. Health and social services that centre health and people are not aspirational. These are not inspired ideas. They are basic, 101 hallmarks of a functioning country. Leadership that gets that *would* be inspiring.

Hey #Auspol

NSW Premier says he does not apologise for [yet more] hate speech laws - the first three versions did not, on any measure, reduce racism in NSW - after NSW Police chose not to criminalise any of the nazis chanting nazi slogans at NSW Parliament on 8 Nov 2025. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Not just Aussie Nuclear waste, but ALL US and UK waste. This “deal” is as much about the disposal of the waste as the sale/purchase of subs. And as usual, the Australian govt, instead of charging for the facility, not only DOESN’T charge, but gives BILLIONS to those creating the waste. #auspol

This from Sen. David Shoebridge: 'AUKUS submarines create nuclear waste-and they want to dump it on this Arrente land near - Alice Springs. The same US companies running Pine Gap want to turn this ancient salt lake into a global nuclear dump.' @davidshoebridge.bsky.social #AUKUS #nuclearwaste

This guy is as bent as a NSW copper, sack him now ffs #auspol

This is obscene. The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds. While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.

Stealing money from poor people is preferable to taking it back from billionares to repay the poor people you stole off.

Come on authors, do it for humanity!
