Will the Australian news media now report the abuse being experienced by Muslim Australians after the media's fear-mongering rhetoric? Or the abuse experienced by Palestinian Australians simply for wearing a keffiyeh? Or Lebanese Australians? Will the PM speak out against THIS #racism? #auspol

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

It’s never industry’s fault that productivity is low. It’s always that of the worker. The ones with the money and power to be able to affect change never assume responsibility for anything other than the reaping of profits.

New Australia Institute research shows there’s little evidence of a productivity crisis. “Australia’s so-called ‘productivity crisis’ is massively exaggerated. Low productivity is not to blame for the problems facing households today, like low wage growth.” @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

I walked past Bill Bailey talking to someone in Dublin and said "my god, Bill Bailey!" about 2m from him. I felt like such a tit 😂😂😂

I saw a girl the same age as my daughter realise her legs were gone because Israel blew them off. Don't try and tell me she is somehow responsible. Israel is committing genocide

What do you call it? My @smh @theage cartoon.

The Liberals are BACK!!! (circa 2009)

Come on ALP, get on with it! Show people what the point of voting for Labor is.

"Fuck me. Really?"

LNP Kooyong candidate Hamer: I’m a renter I relate to how tough it is. Also Hamer: Now others raise it, I also own 2 investment properties. Hamer again: Yeh, also recipient of $20mill family trust. Hamer finally: “It’s really, really tough being a landlord” FMD🤣 #Auspol #PutLNPLast

The ABC are such cowards

pissing myself laughing 😆 2025

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

“Like cigarettes, enormous vehicles can kill those who never used the product…40 years ago, the outrage of secondhand smoke was an eye-opener for many Americans. A similar narrative could help people recognize the havoc that 4-wheeled behemoths now wreak on our streets.”— @davidzipper.bsky.social

Writer Richard Flanagan’s excoriating demolition of Albo & the whole surrender of Govt to most venal of exploitative private interests. When what we so need is Govt to act forcefully for public good, to address the grave crises of our time. Not to cop out, or let corrupt or gormless ruin democracy

Jesus, why is so called anti semitism worse than islamaphobia and destruction of islamic buildings and businesses? Why is anti-Israel equated with anti semitism? If Israel stopped killing and starving tens of thousands of Palestinians, there would not be an issue. Graffiti on a fence is not terror.

It is a little warm today

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

Bin chicken is so 2024. 2025 brings us the:

The silence by governments all over the world is disgusting

I've been in Australia for more than ten years now and...

In any logical world this is embarrassing enough to stop Dutton flogging this dead horse, but unfortunately this is Australia.

Quick reminder that just because they're polite doesn't mean they're worth your time engaging in debate.

I really hope there is an end to this senseless and barbaric genocide youtu.be/b_TYj_9HxTU

It's not even Wednesday. 🤦🏻‍♂️

A pretty shameful oversight that at last night’s Walkley Awards there was no mention of the record numbers of journalists who have been murdered by the IDF over the past year.

The ongoing misrepresention of @climate200.bsky.social's @simonahac.bsky.social by both Labor and the Libs, rpted by a complicit mainstream news media, verges on defamation. I never hear the same criticism of billionaire Gina Rinehart for her overt influence on Coalition policy. 😠 #auspol #QandA

Look how few cars there are driving on this road We should definitely draw broad conclusions about how much people like cars from this one photo of a partially completed road network.

Another refugee from the disaster that Twitter turned into. I tried Threads for a while but I'm glad this looks like it might fill the space left by old Twitter. I'm seeing lots of familiar accounts, I just hope we get a choice to format dates in a non-USA way sooner or later
