Always good to hear encouraging news about “the world's largest, fattest and least-able-to-fly parrot”

Hey, @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social I hope you’re billing the US embassy for massive police over reaction (including hovering Polair to drown out speakers) at the tiny, completely peaceful gathering at Sydney Town Hall protesting Trump’s illegal attack and annexation of a sovereign state.

Amid Labor's super tax proposal, Andrew Bragg and Jane Hume are claiming there has never been a tax on unrealised gains in Australian history, but experts say such taxes have been, and are, in place. www.aap.com.au/factcheck/li...

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

If your actions are blocking progress to preserve the amenity of the lucky few, you are not progressive.

The minute your through customs,you're in international air space & Trump has no jurisdiction. @qantas-official.bsky.social has NO authority to hold someones personal property. Particularly once off the ground. Our so-called "national carrier" should be ashamed of themselves & also held to account!

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

Real incomes increase again in latest quarterly figures as income shifts from wealthiest to poorest. 'Australia recorded 14 consecutive quarters of positive growth & 17 quarters of annual growth — the only economy in the OECD to achieve this' #auspol independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

TACO told this hero that he held all the cards. He tried to belittle a true leader. Meanwhile Zelensky kept his cards close to his vest since he's not a narcissistic blowhard. Then he shamed TACO in front of the entire world. Plus Putie is ignoring him too. In coming ketchup warning.

Fun Fact: In the House of Reps, Labor has more women whose first name starts with ‘A’ than the combined total of women from the Liberals and Nationals. Oh dear… Credit to my fella for noticing this while looking through the election results. #auspol

Superannuation wasn’t meant to be a tax dodge for people with over 3 million dollars to spare.

Australia has compulsory voting; I made this video to explain why: it’s not about forcing us to vote, it’s about forcing governments to ensure a ballot reaches EVERY CITIZEN’S HAND, & we owe it to conservative, rural Tasmanian Senator Herbert Payne in 1924 for making that argument. #auspol

Dog love him. ♥️

We’re not connecting to women, says senator who connects to women mostly by suing them

This is two global elections in ONE WEEK where the conservative candidate trying to become prime minister not only led his party to a big loss but lost their own seat in parliament ! in huge upsets. We are global pariahs unseen since the end of the Cold War River & need stronger domestic opposition

I have some breaking news: a list of all the countries with which the Trump administration has failed to make a tariff deal.

Just to be clear, the Nazis at the dawn service were not booing Anzacs, they were booing the Indigenous Welcome to Country. This booing is directly related to Dutton’s toxic No campaign, which emboldened Nazi-racists to publicly attack Aboriginal people. This is Dutton reaping what he has sown.

The global renewables giant behind the giga-scale solar farm that will help power Rio Tinto’s aluminium smelter and refineries in Queensland says Australia is one of the best places in the world to be “green and strongly competitive” at the same time. #RenewableEnergy #auspol
