The number one target for this cognitive warfare is the White House, which has been completely conquered, it seems. Russia has not been able to conquer Ukraine, however, by cognitive or kinetic means. Europe must learn from Ukraine’s resilience.

Today marks Human Rights Day. I’ve twice introduced a Human Rights Bill into Parliament because it’s long past time for the Fed Govt to catchup with other democratic countries & enshrine the rights of every Australian. #politas #auspol

There's a clear difference between commentary on the social media ban in MSM/ABC - and independent media publishers and commentators - as will be highlighted in TrueNorth's newsletter today #auspol

@moderation.bsky.app can you point to the part of the bill that legally requires you to age gate adult content? or are you just doing censorship before censorship sake? parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/sea... #auspol

There’s more than the whiff of misogyny around this media feeding frenzy over Anika Wells use of travel entitlements. I mean how dare a woman fly her husband to join her at events. Shock horror! That’s how I read this.

Key things to know re this week's gas policy scramble. 1. The gov has already 90% sold out to the gas industry. 2. The remainder is a fight between gas companies - Santos vs Origin-Shell. 3. Watch for SA Labor MPs pushing for Santos. Thread on these points.

The big reason electricity cost so much is gas. Gas is the most expensive form of electricity generation (aside from battery) and yet often determines the price. Tax gas exports, raise $17bn, help compensate households and also fund the transition to zero emissions

A reminder Japan on-sells more Australian gas to other countries than is consumed on the entire East Coast of Australia. We don't need *more* gas, we need to tax our gas exports properly

All across Europe, as well as in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, US allies are reading Trump's national security strategy and realizing that it was authored by people who view them as enemies while idolizing Vladimir Putin and plagiarizing from his recent speeches.

Your reminder: Before Scott Morrison snuck off to Hawaii, he snubbed a delegation of 23 fire chiefs wanting to warn him and urge more water bombing resources, - because that would be acknowledging climate change. The Coalition has nothing to offer but wilful ignorance.

Labor is failing to meet even Scott Morrison’s moral benchmark here. He brought Australian children home. Albanese is refusing to repatriate citizens from Syrian camps despite US warning leaving them there ‘compounds risk to all of us.’ Utterly shameful. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Australia needs to grow a spine & withdraw from Eurovision, Israel needs to feel a consequence of their genocidal behaviour. Sadly the Zionist lobby backed by the pro Israel press will be in the @albomp.bsky.social govt. collective ear to undermine any effort to withdraw. #auspol #Eurovision

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Keeping WBD out of Paramount's hands is good. Putting it in Netflix's is still unlawful consolidation though. This is the #1 streamer merging with #3. State enforcers should speak up.

“I haven’t thought about COVID in a long time.” For a lot of people, that’s the whole story: if they bounced back, it feels like the crisis is over. But for those living with Long COVID, life never went back to normal, and that gap between realities is its own kind of wound.

The fines aren't large enough. $140k is nothing to people with multimillion dollar homes. They will gain more than that when they sell thanks to the newly gained view. Council should replant vegetation that will be higher.

Australia's mainstream media is obsessed with the colour and movement of conflict. As 'both sides' support #AUKUS, they have failed to investigate whether it might be a huge, wasteful and dangerous dud 'deal'. Our media rarely 'speak truth to power'. They parrot power's talking points. #auspol
