Sunday Shot is on now. Jo and I are joined by the editors of Deepcut News and Meanjin, to talk about the news of the week and doing media in and around Zio bullshit. @antounissa.bsky.social and Esther Anatolitis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r_0...

Dear @instanterudite.bsky.social @davemilbo.bsky.social Superb Sunday Shot today. While the discussion concerned deeply troubling events (Gaza, Trump's USA), it was encouraging to hear intelligent, informed discussion with empathy rather than shallow tabloid trash gossip mag journalism. Thank you. 🙏

Sunday Shot starts at 10am today, with me and Jo, @marquelawyers.com.au, Julianna Schultz, and an interview with Grace Tame www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbl6...

You can absolutely take an afternoon off in your life. You can go and hang out in nature. You can watch the way the grass moves in the wind. You can watch the sun set over a mountain. You can walk a trail that takes you to a big granite rock with crazy lichens. Sometimes you might see wallabies.

Why the planet now needs China. The World Bank’s Reboot Development report has belatedly confirmed what scientists have warned for decades: humanity is breaching the safe operating limits of the Earth. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

It gets worse by the minute.

Dingoes are OUR native fauna…and not, as many pastoralists would contest…’wild dogs’…a convenient euphemism to justify their extermination. Dingoes are an apex predator capable of limiting population of destructive feral pests (pigs, foxes, rabbits, goats, cats) introduced by THEIR nemesis #auspol

Change is coming, question is how fast. Value of Australia’s coal and gas exports could plunge 50% in five years, treasury modelling forecasts www.theguardian.com/business/202...

AUKUS means we give bases to the Americans to use. This isnt making us safer! It’s making us a target! Fuck AUKUS off! armyrecognition.com/news/aerospa...

John nailing the American fascist aesthetic. At least they're going hard (until they can't anymore). www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GXN...

Jon and @cwarzel.bsky.social discuss the ways that algorithms and social media incentives have upended free speech.

Seriously, fuck Labor. Fuck your words you spineless fucks. We've had words, the time for talk is over. Okay, they may say Australia acting alone may not move the needle but surely we can show some fucking moral leadership and meaningfully agitate for change. Cause you know, genocide.

"Centrism is today a focus-group-driven doctrine of fence-sitting derpy dickheads riding a morally vacuous path of electoral least resistance." Fuckin'. A.

Dreyfus is by no means the worst attorney-general — the Morrison Government’s Michaela Cash probably holds that title — but he is in the second division. #auspol

Greg Barnes SC nails it. “Dreyfus is by no means the worst attorney-general — the Morrison Government’s Michaela Cash probably holds that title — but he is in the second division.” Note admin law is Whitlams legacy which Dreyfus has messed up. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/05...

Look at how much support there has been for Jacinta Price on Nine Radio. 2GB, 3AW, 4BC, 2SM all had pro-Jacinta stories & fake callers phoning in with their support. Their socials full of positive comments. It’s a full astroturfing campaign before next Tues. This faction want control of the LNP.

A very good thing. Those who can’t cope with the ALP and LNP not getting all the first preference votes need to learn to count past 2.

Vote for Palestine. #auspol #AusVotes2025

Australia has been a close US ally for eight decades. Last month our Govt gave the US an $800M #AUKUS gift to US shipyards. We're going to give them billions more. Today Trump lumped Australia with countries he says have "looted, pillaged, raped and plundered" the US. #auspol

Trump-like. My @smh @theage cartoon.

How many people wake up and say, I have decided.. I must vote for the party represented by Bridgette McKenzie! Not a leader, just a bully. 🙄

The Australia Institute supports the call for a real wage increase for those on the minimum wage & award wages. Our research shows that minimum & award wage increases have no impact on inflation. “They deserve a wage increase that will restore their living standards,” said @grogsgamut.bsky.social

Very good. 👌

Where does Australia go in a world where the US will no longer defend us? Malcolm Turnbull brought together defence hardheads to discuss it — and @keanebernard.bsky.social was in the room.

Trump doesn't have a philosophy or strategy, but he does have a theme: a corrupted form of American exceptionalism, in which the US' unique power is wielded not to export American values but to extort other nations. It's a logical endpoint for divinely mandated mercantile imperialism.

Lendlease whistleblower Tony Watson has delivered $100m ($200m to come) by exposing the Lendlease tax scam. He lost his home. Tony writes here of the society cost of persecuting whistleblowers #auspol michaelwest.com.au/whistleblowe...

This expensive Kew Junction billboard for the Liberal candidate in Kooyong was partly funded by the Coal Lobby. But as it was channeled through an intermediary, the Coal Lobby Donation won’t appear on the Liberal candidate’s donation register. This money is quite dark.

In a wealthy country like 🇦🇺 our most vulnerable shouldn’t be living below the poverty line. I look forward to the release of the next independent expert committee report being released tmrw & call on govt to ⬆️ safety net in the budget. @patskarvelas.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Taxpayers should not be underwriting infrastructure to import foreign LNG at the same time as multinational companies pay little tax & bank eye-watering profits from exporting 🇦🇺 LNG. We need affordable energy but this is madness 🤯

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

We’re a long way past the point where staying on X could be anything but an unethical choice

This morning's episode of the #SundayShot is up! @emmashortis.bsky.social & @andrewjfowler.bsky.social lead us through the disaster that is AUKUS & discuss whether a US-gone-rogue gives us a chance to walk it back. Subscribe to our channel if you like what we do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uWA...

Anyone thinking about voting for the ALP/LNP duopoly really should read this accounting of where our national wealth has gone. Vast profits for foreign corporations while we’ve been impoverished. We’ve let traitors quietly sell our nation out. #auspol

Whoever would have dreamed after the horrors of WWII were fully exposed that we would one day wake up every morning in a world where opposing a genocide meant you were anti-Semitic. #auspol #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

Capitalism doesn't need democracy. Putin knows this. Xi Jinping knows this. Ergodan knows this. AND Trump knows this!
