Let’s celebrate the win for Democracy today with a Grand Jury throwing out Trumps sham bullshit indictment of Letitia James! Suck it Trump and Bondi! #DefendersOfDemocracy

The Betoota Advocate on Lehrmann - describing him as the chungus - reports the High Court has found further than the original judgement, that not only did he rape Higgins, but he knew she did not consent. I hope Lehrmann goes bankrupt & Linda Reynolds rots in shame.

Hegseth has surely already earned several life prison sentences through his actions as "Idiot of War" wapo.st/4pg1HJa

What is going on??? The ALP should be utterly transparent regarding such significant assets as public housing for some of the most vulnerable people. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

here's the thing, Madame Premier: science doesn't care whether industry can afford a carbon tax. the world will continue to warm. as usual, you show no leadership and are instead trying to placate the separatist whack jobs in your party

It's an absolute dud. "The stadium benefits a subsection of the community, but the whole community pays for it." Both Thomas and Harriss need to say no for it to fall through. I am not feeling confident. #politas

Smart countries don’t cut funding to their world-leading science and technology research organisations. The Albanese government has to step up and provide adequate support for research and development in Australia - it has to invest in our future.

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

Musk's DOGE has metastasized into govt agencies. "DOGE exists to help the extraction class disguise corruption, cronyism,& the brutal dismantling of consumer protection, labor rights, & the social safety net as as "innovative efficiency reforms" @karlbode.com 1/4/25 www.advocate.com/politics/dog...

This is a great explanation of the difference between 1 million and 1 billion, and how huge the wealth gap has become.

The country wants a wealth tax on assets. They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked. They've got no actual argument. Join.greenparty.org.uk

@hayleygleeson.bsky.social why the bizarre characterisation that Warren's gender was her burden, when it is sexism & misogyny that is the burden? The internalised misogyny of this article, the clumsiness & the lack of understanding of systemic bias is frustrating. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Agree ⬇️ 💯.....

Quiet part, meet out loud.

That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years. "Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third." This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government. www.smh.com.au/national/csi...

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

The president had a record net worth of $7.3 billion in September.

We really can’t get enough of these

Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated. Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”

By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.

Does he even own a suit?

“CSIRO has announced it will slash up to 350 jobs as the national science agency grapples with long-term financial challenges … with current funding failing to keep pace with the rising costs of running a modern science agency.” Not “challenges”. They’re choices. 😡

Coalition incompetence on full display: "Business and energy industry leaders have warned the Coalition that abandoning a net zero emissions target will not cut power bills, undermining the core promise of Sussan Ley’s signature new policy." www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

Sussan Ley has received her orders from on high. #AusPol
