They make a docu-drama about a campaign you helped lead. They give a public servant who target Robodebt recipients more air time than *anyone else*

sorry but this policy is for married Karens. They <believe> in a benevolent patriarchal authority protecting them and their domestic sphere and fuck everyone harmed by policies pitched to the delicate sensibilities of a very privileged class.

The scheme promises to price-match 30 essential product types and is administered by Commonwealth-owned corporation Outback Stores, which runs 58 remote grocers in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, New South Wales and South Australia. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

For Australians like Mike, the end of the Coronavirus Supplement in 2021 and the return to "regular" social support payments like JobSeeker, Austudy and Youth Allowance after lockdown meant a return to poverty. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Maybe there should be a monopoly - a government run supermarket that subsides foods so people all across the country can afford to feed their families? As @kristin8x.antipovertycentre.org would say #NationaliseWoolies

#Pinks #Proudblue This sums it up! 🎯🎯🎯

Rep Robert Garcia just dropped a bombshell 🔥 The House Oversight Committee is forming a joint investigative unit with the Senate to track and expose every single act of ICE misconduct. Accountability is coming. No more hiding behind badges. No more abuse without consequence.

Clear clear clear example of how Trump LIES

The Fact Sheet on Australia US deals

Which is what the global 'critical minerals' beat-up has mostly been about -- defeating regulatory controls on mining and mineral processing. Worked a treat.

First person in the world to interview Chris in front of a Kyuss record?

Essential therapeutic viewing in the unreality of our times

ICYMI, this was an excellent interview with Chris Hedges. Kudos to Dave for getting this exclusive. But there is a key question arising that mainstream media pretend they don't have to answer: Why are Australian journalists so scared to confront the truth about Israel and Palestine? #auspol

A superb interview on the truth! Don't miss a minute! 'The role of mainstream journalism is to, essentially, buttress the power structure. And if they don't buttress or repeat the narrative, then the power structure shuts them out. And the people that run these organisations see that as fatal.' 👏🙏👏

Legendary Journalist Chris Hedges was suddenly banned from the National Press Club, this is an article about interviewing him in @davemilbo.bsky.social lounge room, and the state of #auspol: 'Chris Hedges NPC Ban Holds a Mirror to the Decay of Australian Discourse' open.substack.com/pub/joeljenk...

Excellent interview calling out the bias and blatant dehumanisation of Palestinians by the media and the normalisation of this abhorrent behaviour. Do support @theshot.net.au - highly recommended.

I haven't listened yet, which David got a better interview with Chris Hedges?

If Chris Hedges didn't tell you you're a piece of shit as he walked out the door, you got the better interview, Mr Milner. In one fell swoop, David Marr obliterated every single piece of respect I had for him. No mean feat really.

Yep - using the USA as an excuse to gut environmental approvals.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for donors helping fund his ballroom project. Today, crews are starting construction and literally tearing down parts of the White House. It's day 20 of the government shutdown and this is what he's prioritizing?

A man desperate to stay on the public teat.

Always take sentences using “the Cloud” or “the Internet” and try replacing those phrases with “A shed in Virginia” to see how they hold up. “Our service is fully based in a shed in Virginia”; “All my files are in a shed in Virginia”; “A shed in Virginia was designed to survive a nuclear war”, etc.

between the two of them they'll have this question figured out in 2 to 3 months

Trump: You get that visual allegory of my second term? Photographer: Sure did boss, real fuckin dystopian just like you asked.

The reporting of the Albanese-Trump deal as an "$8.5bn" agreement is pretty ropey, given all it has is Albanese saying "this is an eight and a half billion dollar pipeline that we have ready to go."

I do wonder on the thought process in bringing in this lunatic to turn what once used to be a serious political program into a clown show. Australia deserves better than this.

Barnaby Joyce unable to cope goes bonkers on #abc730 with desperate attempt to avoid answering, only to find himself in yet another train wreck Joyce “This is sounding very Trumpian by you. I’m not Zelenskyy ok?”🤔 Ferguson “This is not a conversation about Tomahawk missiles”💥

None of that, no. He said "that was a good interview" and we had brief chat. He said my Star Wars tattoo is "cool", that his wife is a big fan of Lucas' space opera, and that he only recently heard the Rebels were inspired by the Vietcong. He was real, smart, grounded, classy.

The ALP will use this opportunity to do even less on climate change and the environment.

Tony Abbott’s argument about Australian democracy is Trumpian in intent and based on half-truths www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

A day ago Trump posted a video of him dumping shit on Americans.

At least 135 mutilated bodies of Palestinians had been held at notorious Israeli jail, say Gaza officials

And it is always worth reminding everyone that Labor never wanted an EPA to begin with. It was a last ditch effort at the 2022 Federal Election to save a candidate from losing their seat (& it failed). They have been insincere from the start. #auspol

Australia’s chief statistician has defended the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ recent public debunking of far-right claims of “mass migration”, as he said the independent agency “stands ready to respond” to “egregious misrepresentations” of its data. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol

Rudd: “I was only mean to you before I took this role mr pwesident 👉👈” Why are they so spineless

FTR, my respect for Chris Hedges climbed another 100 notches thanks to your disrespectful, willful and Zionist hostility, Mr Marr. 🖕🏻

The commentary from the Australian press on the AUKUS deal is naive, breathless claptrap. Shallow, partisan, uninformed commentary with the ABC Morning show interviewing an American who thinks Rudd is still PM.Would be funny if it was not so dangerous!

The public bonhomie and announcements on AUKUS requires the media to examine, critically analyse and test what secret commitments have been given by Australia to join the USA in war against China. I would have expected Albo to defend Ambassador Rudd not ignore Trump’s bullshit!

Having said that, do we know if Brereton recused himself from this investigation? We do not.
