So proud of my ABC regional colleagues. Walking out when you’re in a small office is brave and inspiring.

'skipping work for strike'.....

We congratulate brave MEAA members at ABC today who have let listeners know about tomorrow’s planned industrial action, explaining why staff have voted to strike and what it means for audiences. #QualityNewsQualityJobs

if you want to support striking ABC staff there is a petition you can sign and strike fund if you want to donate. www.meaa.org/news/support...

The main goal is now… something they had before they started the war.

“The British love their Jaguars even though they always break down, the Germans love their Volkswagens even though they are too expensive.”

ABC News: "We understand Pauline Hanson has been speaking at the One Nation event. Let's bring you some of that now." Pauline Hanson: [incomprehensible swamp monster noises] Yeah, sounds about right to be honest... #AusPol #SAParli #SAVotes

Incredible sound issue crossing to Pauline Hanson just now on ABC #savotes

ABC @withMEAA staff are taking industrial action today to call on ABC management to provide us with an offer in Enterprise Bargaining that provides quality jobs, so we can deliver the quality news and content Australians rely on. #QualityNewsQualityJobs

I lost my job, oil is six dollars a gallon, my kids have measles, and secret police roam the streets, killing and imprisoning people at random. But at least now students at schools I've never heard of aren't heckling conservative speakers that I've never heard of.

So if someone prints and distributes an anonymous leaflet calling you a paedophile the police will just come round and ask you to deny it, no evidence needed. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Countries that *did* deploy a lot of renewables & electrification are already faring better than they otherwise would have . Here are some examples: 1/ Pakistan, still highly exposed to Gulf LNG supply crunch BUT estimated to save $12 billion due to solar boom: www.linkedin.com/posts/lauri-...

I'm confused as to why medicines and food would travel to Australia through the Strait of Hormuz www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Do not use 1800 RESPECT. FOI reveals that “once a week, every week”, 1800 RESPECT is being subpoenaed, handing over confidential client notes and audio recordings of victim counselling sessions, to accused rapists and their legal teams. www.news.com.au/lifestyle/re...

Not sure how me paying more on my mortgage is going to help Trump accept his war is a failure

"Rather than a ‘rising tide lifting all boats,’ a higher level of corporate BS in an organization acts more like a clogged toilet of inefficiency.”" news.cornell.edu/stories/2026...

Probably better to check if countries are willing to help you *before* starting an illegal war hey

A decade on, the message is still the same: “…the person operating the giant machine on public roads needs to be responsible for not killing people with it.”

If you're thinking hard about an EV right now can I suggest the two wheeled variety? I have two EVs and while I love the car, the bike is the actual superstar. 7c to fully charge, free parking everywhere, has saved me THOUSANDS in fuel and fares. www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07...

Littleproud's quit as Nats leader?!

Surprising number of ‘lone wolves’ in Western Australia. We should probably look into that.

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. “We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

Ah, that explains why they're keen for the IEA to act. The US didn't refill its Strategic Petroleum Reserve before starting a Middle East war. Briliant. www.ft.com/content/d546...

"With no clear definition of what winning looks like, it is hard to forecast whether this will be a multi-week or multi-month conflict." www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

You'll never guess the reason why...

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

this is a disaster of world-historic proportions. Non-massive cars are extinct

Every single paragraph in this story is wild www.watoday.com.au/world/north-...

Say what you will about the strikes on Iran and the resulting chaos, but Hegseth truly has captured the chivalric ethos of the original Crusaders (purposeless, unstrategic, basically slaughtering people for clout)

Just seen one of the most bizarre real estate stories I've ever seen - kidnapped Cleo Smith's parents have sold their house in Carnavon and made a $200k profit.

This is absolutely vile racist abuse

I have a mystery allergy situation that has been going on for weeks. Hives with no obvious trigger. Tests show nothing. Today the GP said “well, it’s non lethal anyway”

yep AI is the future @conmbank.bsky.social

Another crisis that stems from job ready graduates - huge demand for nursing courses seems to have lead to some kind of overload www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Four muppets and a funeral

Incredible how much the media has spent talking about hate speech laws and yet none of the thousands of articles on Hanson mention she recently was found by a federal court of breaching hate speech laws.

this is such a wild read, so many great pars

Liam Alexander Hall revealed as man charged over Perth Invasion Day rally alleged terrorism act www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

everything about this story is perfect, the absurdly posh names, the neighbour filming through the bushes, the insufferable texts www.watoday.com.au/national/wes...

That's right www.smh.com.au/business/com...

Apologising for “any offence taken for interfering with that religious process” is such an insulting non apology - refers to 'any' offence as if he doubts it happened, dismisses prayer as a 'religious process'

I hate these people

Great work, well done Angus www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

"As a South African Jewish Australian in my 70s, I find myself painfully watching my home mirror the authoritarian reflexes of the regime I fled." www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

seems like in the 80s you could just murder your wife and then tell the cops she caught a bus or a train one day and they wouldn't investigate much further www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
