If only we had a real @australianlabor.bsky.social government. You know, one that cares about such stuff and DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT, instead of @albomp.bsky.social and the rest of the jellyfish. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #auspol

Time for the ALP backbench to put their electorates before subservience to the Cabinet. Failure to call out neoliberal economic policies, militarism and the plight of working the working class will see the loss of many seats at the next election. Fix CGT,-ve gearing and housing!

I hate that. And I often wonder where these ppl get their $. When my son & fam were trying to buy their 1st house they lost out on one at Auction to a local guy who was on to his ELEVENTH property! We *really* need a cap on investment properties. *They* are the scumbags, & the worst landlords.

We can do better

Justice for Palestine Magan-djin is coordinating a high court challenge to the QLD anti-free political speech law on the basis that it is invalid under the Australian Constitution. See the link tree to donate. Free #Palestine 🇵🇸 linktr.ee/palestinebri... #QldFascism #IsraelFascism

These laws are unconstitutional and they deserve to be chucked out. Listen to Executive Officer, Bart Shteinman on PM overnight discussing why the anti-protest laws in QLD and NSW are anti-democratic and it's a good thing they've been struck down in NSW! Full link: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The Australian Greens are calling on the government to audit every Palantir contract across Government and particularly in Defence, Home Affairs and intelligence agencies and table the findings in Parliament. The public has a right to know the full scale of the risks and the sell out.

New Australia Institute research shows that the Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing Australian gas than the Australian Government! "They're taxing our gas. There's no reason we can't." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

As the govt weighs options to raise revenue, balance the budget & confront the global energy crisis, one solution is staring them in the face: replace the broken PRRT with a fair tax on gas exports. It's long overdue, and has widespread support… www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Palantir's CEO published a manifesto arguing Western tech firms have a "moral debt" to US military dominance, that AI weapons are inevitable, and that "some cultures are dysfunctional." This isn't just a regularly evil tech or defence contractor, it’s a fascist political project.

Dr Richard Denniss dismantles the gas industry’s favorite threat. If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄 “They are playing us for fools.” 🔥 Nationals’ Susan McDonald has no rebuttal & scrambles to change the subject. #auspol

The presence of US bases in the Gulf is ultimately about the security of a single actor, Israel, rather than the nations that host them, says Dr. Hassan Ahmadian.

Are we still playing this game? Whether it's Gaza or Lebanon, Israel's interpretation of a ceasefire has always been, "They cease firing, while we keep firing".

Ahh the common touch.

I actually think rich families should be means tested They can afford to provide top class care for their disabled family members Priority must be helping the poorest

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No? You mean the CGT discount? No? You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No? You mean the free gas for multinationals? No? You mean the failure of the PRRT? No? You mean the tax dodging trusts? No? You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No? No you mean the NDIS FFS

In response to an #FOI request for a cost estimate for the disposal of #AUKUS nuclear waste, the Australian Submarine Agency has advised it’s somewhere in amongst 3,000 docs. They can’t find the estimate … or they don’t want to find (and disclose) the estimate. #TransparencyFight #auspol

Troops from the US, Philippines, Australia and Japan unite for the biggest military exercise in "real-world conditions" to ensure security in the Indo-Pacific region. But China has criticised the drill.

Labor still frames the US as an “enduring partner” – while committing to defence self-reliance and deeper regional ties. Those positions no longer align with reality, Kym Davey writes. #auspol #ForeignPolicy #AUKUS #ANZUS #Geopolitics

More than 4,000 artists and workers in the film industry—including actors Mark Ruffalo and Joaquin Phoenix—have signed the “Filmmakers for Palestine” pledge to boycott Israeli cultural institutions complicit in the system of apartheid.

FMD! ABC 7:30 has an item tonight (on the ABC News website now) about driving EVs. The reporter has NEVER driven one before, doesn't know how to charge, is scared of the technology, so guess what, his experience was less than perfect. A disgraceful hatchet job on EVs by the tabloid ABC. #auspol

Chris Minns should be "reviewing" whether his authoritarian and illegal actions on behalf of the israel lobby render him unfit to be Premier. #nswpol

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

Hezbollah exists as a DIRECT result of Israeli violence in Lebanon. Literally. They formed in 1982 following Israel's invasion and occupation. They drove the IDF out of southern Lebanon in 2000. Western news media defiantly fails to report these facts. #IsraeliTerrorism #LebanonUnderAttack

israel is a disgrace to its people. their shame will be felt for decades. placing the same pain & death on the Palestinian people that jews felt in the holocaust is worse than what the nazis did to them. jews KNOW what it felt like & they are still causing this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmy9tr4Dayo

The United States is becoming more unpredictable – and more dangerous. Australia must insulate itself by strengthening regional ties and reducing dependence on US power, John Menadue writes. #auspol #ForeignPolicy #Australia #US #Geopolitics

'Australia's close ties to the United States were once a strength but have become a weakness' Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said. Oh wait - that was Canada's PM Mark Carney. For a moment there I was fantasizing that Australia had a real leader. #auspol www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Is there any moral limit to what Israel or the US could do, any war crime that goes too far, for Australia to place conditions on our loyalty? It seems there are no red lines. New:

#NSW #Labor govt creates swat team of 250 cops to fight hate crimes. Other than the Bondi Massacre there've been no other serious hate crimes. Yet 2 women are killed every week in Aust via 'domestic violence'. There is no 250-cop task force for that. Why not? is.gd/HMG6aB @janecaro.bsky.social

@albomp.bsky.social you weren't named by Mark Carney, what a shame

“No More Mr Nice Guy ”says the dangerous disgusting autocrat Trump. He is more a psychopathic gangster than a “ leader of the free world”. Our politicians must stop appeasing this danger to humanity. Grow a backbone and call him and his regime out!

@albomp.bsky.social are you too busy dealing with the less than 1% but highly organised Jewish lobby groups, to care about racism?

Nothing but support them obvs.

Agreed. I’m sure I won’t be the only Australian who asks: “why are we giving USA billions under AUKUS, when they are currently blockading the world’s oil supply and driving Australia into recession”?
