Department secretaries are paid more than the PM, out of whack with intl norms. Time to fix fatcat salaries @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social #auspol michaelwest.com.au/fat-cat-sala...

A real quick way for a PM to stop a big supermarket price gouging would be to make them ineligible for govt contracts. And, then tell everyone what you did & why you did it. The rest will just happen organically. You watch how bloody quick price gouging stops 🐝 #auspol

If Peter Dutton is so concerned that mums and dads are hurting because of the high cost of living, then why does he want to sack 40,000 people? I’m sure there’s lots of mums and dads in that lot. By @rossleighaim.bsky.social theaimn.net/duttons-gas-...

There is no such thing as a safe seat. Demand politicians earn your vote. Don't accept mediocrity. Excuses about "costs" or "need to bring the public with us" are lies. Governments have power, and budgets are about choices & priorities. If it's a priority, it is always affordable.

A Labor govt with half a spine would cancel the nuclear submarines and instead budget for: - more emergency services & equip - emergency housing - insurance support - mental health support - climate mitigation

Australia has gone from exporting military "items" to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to kill Yemenis to deploying Australian troops to kill Yemenis directly. You guys at @australianlabor.bsky.social truly are deplorable. #auspol

"My life is a mess... this last week, I have been retraumatized..." by Elon Musk's antics, victims of UK grooming gangs told ex-Chief Prosecutor for North West England @nazirafzal.bsky.social, who locked up a lot of grooming gangs (both brown & white!). He tells me Musk is "rewriting history."

Monash University has today admitted to a fresh round of wage theft from casual teachers. Australia’s largest uni has underpaid teachers a further $7.6m, taking Monash’s total underpayments to $17.6m since 2021

All of my life I have had a deep respect & affection for people of the Jewish faith. My grandmother spoke Yiddish, I lived in a mixed community. I have no respect for Christian Zionists, Zionists per se. A racist supremacist cult, a political ideology of oppression & violence.

Israel building settlements in Gaza is like putting a luxury housing estate in the grounds of Auschwitz I can't imagine a nation with less of a moral compass than Israel, absolutely disgusting 🐝 #auspol

Arnold Bloch Leibler has one of the head lobbyists for Zionist extremism at its helm. It's effectively an organisation supporting the terrorist state of Israel, and should be on a banned list. It would not meet criteria for govt contracts anyway (which is clearly being ignored).

Anthony Albanese, Richard Marles and Peter Malinauskas are all spruiking #AUKUS as a business bonanza but Australian defence suppliers aren’t so sure. Who to believe … pollies in their parliamentary bubbles spending your money, or business owners investing their own? #auspol #saparli

The fastest growing political party in Australia isn't a party at all. Approximately 1/3 of voting Australians didn't vote for any of the major parties at the '22 election. The rise of the community independents, candidates not beholden to any party, is changing our political scene for the better.

Genuine question: If, under Trump, the USA invades Canada or tries to take control of the Panama Canal or Greenland, is Australia obliged under #AUKUS to support them? 🤔 #auspol #USPolitics

Any legal firm that gives pro bono legal advice to highly-paid federal politicians should be ineligible for all government contracts indefinitely. 🐝 #auspol

This is effing NUTS - sounds like a Christian fundamentalist rant from the US of A - but this is in Australia. Terrifying!

Yes, Dutton should reveal the details about his 'pro bono' legal advice from Arnold Bloch Leibler What is the advice for? How much is it worth in dollar terms? Why is Dutton accepting pro bono legal advice when he can afford to pay for it? What's ABL's quid pro quo? 🐝 #auspol

Astonishing

Australia always amazes me . The ability to muddle through in the face of persistent ' fartarsing ' around iby Governments. Sort of the ' Jolly Swagman' meets ' Dads Army', the entire thing entertainingly crafted by ' BlackAdder' and put in place by ' Baldricks'.

The wind is coming from where ? 🤣🤣🤣

It is a dangerous nonsense to suggest that hardwork will make you rich.If that were the case , there would be few poor people. Circumstances of birth ( class / geographic location/ available education/networks) determine your level of success.

“The world was almost at the point of forgetting what a fine time people can have helping one another. That people like to work together and to kick back after work and share their experiences. What would happen if our foreign policy centered on the cultivation of joy rather than pain? she /2

Ethical Shareholding requires a very simple piece of law, make each 'Shareholder' liable to the value of their shareholding for any criminal or civil breach of the law. It is a fundamental flaw in law to share profits, yet isolate 'shareholders' from the damage done in the pursuit of profits.

Very excited, tickets for New Years' Eve arrived in the mail today!!😀

In an insane World, the sane are suspect.

The Morrison Liberal Govt didn't take care of our veterans, leaving a huge backlog of compensation claims (now up to $13 billion). Peter Dutton was the Defence Minister during this time (2021-2022). Why is he never questioned on this? #auspol #ADF #defence

"The way a government treats its refugees is very instructive, because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us of us if they thought they could get away with it." - Tony Benn

Just because Israel's leadership - who are wanted by the ICC for the 'war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts' have conflated criticism of Israel with anti-semitism, does not make it a fact.

That which we allow to be done in our name, no matter how we dress it up, makes us complicit in every crime that our nation states commit.

It’s happened again. If you’re “high profile” with an expensive lawyer, you can have your name kept secret. Not if you’re some 19yr old knockabout kid from the Western suburbs, though. This has got to stop.

A festival of grovelling and arse-kissing. Blot to the fore !
