Walk out of AUKUS Tell the US to cram it We should not be allied to a country which has Fox News gibberers & propagandists in positions of power. The US is a failing democracy & a fading power. Australia needs to cut this loose before we are dragged down the drain with them.

"It's important to understand the great lengths that the US, Israel and other would go to, to silence the voice of justice, the voice of human rights. But they will not succeed. We are frail and weak, only if we are isolated." 💥🎯💯

Each day, we learn of Israel’s theft of yet another slice of Palestine. Piece by piece, acre by acre, the Palestinian nation has been seized by Israeli offensive forces and carved up by Zionist colonizers in contravention of all treaties, accords, “peace” agreements and the like.

Why? These are citizens. They have a right to a passport unless accused of a specific crime. If there's justice or issues to face, let them face them here. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I love #Eurovision but I've not watched the SBS telecast since Israel began its #GazaGenocide. Please support boycott.eurovision.au as they urge SBS to cut the mic on genocide. Here's the link to their petition on Change.org c.org/cVkHXqCyLx #BoycottEurovision #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

“It holds bountiful oil, gas, minerals & fish. And it promises to shorten global shipping routes”. Well hallelujah, collapsing Arctic ice sheet will allow full-scale looting of one of world’s last remaining pristine landscapes. Capitalism (and media) looks increasingly like a global death cult.

Labor is failing to meet even Scott Morrison’s moral benchmark here. He brought Australian children home. Albanese is refusing to repatriate citizens from Syrian camps despite US warning leaving them there ‘compounds risk to all of us.’ Utterly shameful. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If you doubt the power of an ethical crossbench, the Briggs report on ;jobs for mates' was created and released thanks to pressure from two Independents: Sophie Scamps and David Pocock. Scamps introduced a private members bill and Pocock kind of filibustered them into submission. #Auspol

With complete respect and admiration for the Socceroos, who I know are just working to represent and inspire our nation as best they can, I will not be watching a moment of the World Cup. There is no resistance without sacrifice and the US must be resisted.

The national AI plan aims to position 🇦🇺 as a major international data centre despite environmental concerns, framing renewable energy as a means of managing these impacts. The Australian Energy Market Operator expects data centres will consume 6% of energy going into the national grid by 2030

"Democracy thrives on a diet of high expectations and starves on a diet of cynicism." - Richard Dennis, "Dead Centre." This is my #Auspol philosophy. We can only evolve if we envision a future where new experiments in #Democracy yield better futures. Australia can do that with an ethical crossbench.

Nothing like a summer in the electorate to bring a dose of reality www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

The cruelty is unfathomable The danger to the concept of citizenship is alarming Penny Wong and the ALP government's inhumanity is a choice, also shown by Gaza and Nauru. A culture of cruelty now extends to domestic policies NDIS, Jobseeker, Aged Care. Next? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Look at this excellent little ad @ronnisalt.bsky.social made for us for the #SundayShot! Join @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social, @alicektg.bsky.social, @boganintel.bsky.social and me tomorrow morning (@davemilbo.bsky.social is away). See if you can pick my great technical save...(lo).

Break up monopolies. Rebuild unions. A real living wage. Stop investors hoarding homes. Strengthen Medicare incl. dental. Universal childcare. Real climate action. UBI. Tax wealth. This is how we make Australia liveable again. MPs should fight for it. #auspol

Well said @amyremeikis.bsky.social, there has to be some changes and quickly.

male from “high profile family” - eg white wealthy colonisers - is not once referred to as sex offender despite two guilty verdicts. Courts give him a suppression order and media give him a pseudonym. Rape culture is top-order colonial white patriarchy. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Meanwhile, Israel remains accountable to no laws, no treaties and no global organizations. It takes what it wants, when it wants. It kills, destroys, pillages, imprisons, rapes and tortures because it has been allowed to.

Just so we are clear. Many of us rightly believed that Scott Morrison was the most antidemocratic PM Australia has ever seen. Albanese is worse. Much worse. He’s not as idiotic or vile as Morrison but his fascist tendencies are more honed

Richard Marles is a menace. He makes Australia and Australians less safe every single day he remains in office. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Don’t just abolish Prince Andrew’s titles, abolish the monarchy.

“Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history.” UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says nearly 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza have suffered life-changing wounds in Israel’s war – and almost one-quarter of those are children. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7eexx4

Man from high-profile Melbourne family convicted of raping a woman twice, while pretending to be her boyfriend, is given special treatment of name suppression, even after being convicted! Once again the judicial system operating as a protection racket for men! #RapeCulture

18 months. 12 months already done on remand. Judge claims to take sexual crimes against children seriously, then clearly doesn’t take sexual crimes against children seriously.

We could have cheaper power immediately, but this can only occur if the Govt puts Australians ahead of foreign energy users and gas cartel mega profits. Any gas reservation policy must be RETROSPECTIVE to achieve the right outcome. It’s OUR gas! 1/2 #auspol

Why Paul Brereton, the chairman of the NACC, has to fall on his sword. By @sarahrussell.bsky.social He is before Senate Ests next week. Another year would be a travesty #auspol #robodebt michaelwest.com.au/enough-is-en...

This is terrorism. Every news outlet should be running this clip at the top of their broadcast and it should be the headline in every paper. The public needs to know ICE is terrorizing US citizens with an accent or that aren’t “American enough” to pass their eye test.

I mean this in the nicest possible way. What the fuck happened to @albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social? This has Coalition scum written all over it. The smell of Morrison still lingers over the last bid to do this. How the fuck is this LABOR? #auspol #RockBottom #robodebt

All you need to know about @albomp.bsky.social's plan is that Morrison tried it and failed because it was the wrong thing. After #robodebt, @australianlabor.bsky.social is absolutely insane & downright awful to pull this sort of shit. IT WAS TO HARD FOR MORRISON TO SWALLOW! #auspol #LetThatSinkIn

I understand and sympathize with this entire situation. I condemn Israel and all criminal actions committed against Palestinians. I receive many appeals for financial assistance, but I cannot help financially,it is impossible given the numerous requests., I will continue to denounce Israel.

A Trumpian demolition of press freedoms could well happen here - aided by toxic tech platforms - warns renowned journalist Kerry O’Brien in a fiery Walkleys speech. Plus BBC bends the knee to the Orange Fascist “Truth Lies & Media” is live!💥 Promo Match Frame Editing #auspol #NewsCorpse

Raids lead to arrest of Palestinians, as Israeli violence surges across northern occupied West Bank.

No doubt they are defending themselves, right @albomp.bsky.social?

One Nation has rightfully exploited this anomaly to their benefit! Why do you think they run candidates in every seat without a chance of success? Because they get funds from the public purse for every vote above (insert very low %) gained at elections! This needs to be brought to public notice.

"Where are the current giants of journalism stepping up to fight these fights?" asks Nicole. And as Osman Faruqi noted, if Kerry O'Brien was working today, he'd be sacked for these comments. The hypocrisy of so many at the Walkleys who gave O'Brien a standing ovation was astounding. #GazaGenocide

Interestingly, no other species behaves this way. Lions do not hold barbecues after taking down a gazelle. Wolves do not clap in unison. Sharks do not nudge each other with a wink as they circle their prey.

No doubt they are defending themselves, right @albomp.bsky.social?

War-mongering pantsuited bastardry. .

The changes to the system that stop this from ever happening again should be headline news. There are significant and immediate changes aren't there? This isn't the USA, pedophilia cannot be accepted here. The Australian government needs to genuinely protect children. @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

So I had to update my credit card details. I did so online. Two companies continued to try and take money from the old credit card. Hopeless. I'm looking at you Origin Energy and also APIA. I spent half an hour each on the phone sorting it out. Imagine #AI getting involved

www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast... “Russia has a lot of soldiers. Last month they suffered the most casualties. In the past two months, starting October, Russian soldiers suffered biggest losses in almost four years of the war. With video confirmation, 25,500 (Russian) soldiers were killed.”

Why has the State Library given over building space & marketing messages to 'entrepreneurs' using it to lobby for their own for-profit private business funding, from inside our premier public Library? What on earth does this have to do with the core functions of a State Library now in crisis?

Too true
