Something that has escaped most attention re the lopsidedness of this year's election: Labor beat the Coalition's Senate primary by 5.22%. This was Labor's second highest margin since 1953 (behind 1983's 5.52%) and their 5th highest ever.

How many recommendations did the Robodebt Royal Commission make, again? And which one, specifically, did the government refuse to recognise, let alone commit to?

Murdoch media mantra

Abbott was so bad as PM that his own socially conservative side of the party were plotting to dump him after less than 18 months - including Hastie's predecessor in Canning the late Don Randall. He's got considerably weirder since.

“Privately, Labor MPs acknowledge there is a need to scrap the entire system.“ As your MP if they’re one of them. And if yes, what are they doing about it?

While some leaders may call climate change a "con job", we know it's impacting ever corner of our country. Ignoring these warnings & failing to invest in action + adaptation betrays communities across the country and leaves us unprepared. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/se...

Climate change is driving up insurance costs & making homes uninsurable 🇦🇺ns are paying the price while disasters worsen As Minister Bowen said: "The cost of inaction will always outweigh the cost of action" We need real action & investment in adaptation www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Where’s the evidence for why these changes to create more secrecy and less transparency are supposedly needed? Public service can’t point to any. This is a terrible bill that should die an early death in the parliament. region.com.au/no-bots-abou...

Rumours of a deeply dysfunctional board have been rife for months. Housing is too important to all Australians for the govt’s let delivery body to be hamstrung like this. Time for better governance at Housing Australia. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Goddamn, Slow Horses is fun. Gary Oldman is just having the time of his life

This is not unusual - when governments “get rid” of no grounds evictions, they do nothing to prevent landlords simply lying 🤷‍♂️ in Victoria there’s a prohibition on these properties being rented out for 6 months but it’s not enforced 😍😍

? #auspol ? #MediaWatch

Wtf is he watching …?

Let me get this straight. Every nation across the developed world has censorship laws for media and published content 👍 Feasons for national security, some to keep children safe etc Yet social media is free to dump this very content and worse onto our screens 24/7 ? 😡🤬👎😡🤬☢️🤬 #auspol

Harsh !

I've been avoiding Qld politics for over 3 years, but what's happening here is that the Premier and his accurate public service brains-trust knows that coal power is retiring quickly. His party's dinosaurs complained & the gov said dumb things, Rio Tinto slapped them, now the gov looks like dills.

remember when newscorp decided climate science was real? it actually happened in october 2021… and didn't last a week. 👇 this is disgraceful

#Fascism in action, #USA.

‘The US Energy Department has added “climate change,” “green” and “decarbonization” to its growing “list of words to avoid” at its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, according to an email issued Friday and obtained by POLITICO.’ www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

#auspol it’s pretty clear #Murdoch should never own or control any media in #Australia. A cancer on any nation it touches. #MediaWatch #ABC #MurdochRoyalCommission Shut #SkyNewsAus down Hate must have ZERO place in Australia. Whats happened in USA and FoxNews role in it is warning enough

#auspol Australia isn’t a ‘melting pot’ of culture and multiculturalism. It is a mosaic and that is much much nicer. It needs to become a place which embraces that. Not a place full of American style polarisation and Murdoch media frenzy fuelled hate - of US and Them. #NoHate #Kindness #auspol

I can remember being excited the first time I got to use 25,000 lines on a robopoll.

"Epstein’s emails veered between domineering, cloying, comfortable and obsessive, and were often riddled with typos. In response, his advisers and supporters were deferential and even fawning."

Am enjoying Andrew Hastie being on every media platform in the country making great pains to say he is definitely not challenging Sussan Ley for the leadership. Oh no, perish the thought! Why would anyone think so??

Every word a lie, and yet, not one journalist will call him out.

Students told by teachers Gazans ‘deserved what they got’. Sentiments like this have been stated by teachers in ACT public schools. I know of reading content set that displayed shocking bias. Totally agree, this is widespread. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The very structures designed to keep children safe causes harm www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Murdoch really is blight on the nation.

Not just Musk. Coles: Peter Thiel’s Palantir. Extensive digital surveillance. They have their fingers in many pies. Probably ATO, Centrelink, etc. It all links together. Also Genocide enablers. Boston Consulting Group. Fingers in many pies. Close ties with Palantir. Genocide enablers.

When is the UK govt going to ban Musk entering the country and declare him a security threat ? Meanwhile Telstra in Australia is doing business with the Nazi. #auspol #OverthrowElon

During Eisenhower time the mega wealthy were also also taxed at 90-something % Just saying…..

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley needs to stop Liberal Leader Sussan Ley from holding press conferences bc Liberal Leader Sussan Ley is causing lots of problems for Opposition Leader Sussan Ley. 😏 #auspol #emissions #targets #NetZero

Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide in Gaza, according to the "most authoritative assessment" to date. The inquiry's report follows a two-year investigation and builds on a growing number of assessments labelling Israel's actions as genocide. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

I am deeply concerned about the impact should Qantas proceed with closure of its Qantas Link base in Canberra. It would hurt the workers and their families required to relocate and could also exacerbate already high rates of flight cancellations.

The Liberal Party must really be on the nose in NSW… Labor has claimed victory in the Kiama by-election, a feat not seen in NSW since 1996 – the flipping of a seat in a byelection that goes for, rather than against, the government apple.news/AogfoJzCRQya...
