David Seymour says RNZ chief executive Paul Thompson "won't be answering the call at RNZ for much longer" & the govt will precipitate changes in RNZ's team. He also hinted that Maiki's position was untenable for TVNZ It's illegal for a Broadcasting Minister to interfere in TVNZ/RNZ

A win for Australia. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

*Looking up education and universities for funding boosts...* Oh, look they've CUT funding

How about climate change? We've barely spent anything, for years, on climate. Let's see how much extra the govt has committed... . . Oh wtf they've CUT funding how is that even possible? "Savings of $2.2 bil over 14 years (from) across the Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water portfolio"

More communism needed next time please Great Helmsman Comrade Jim #auspol

It’s kind of funny how all of the media institutions acting as a mouthpiece for banks, property developers and landlords saying that this budget is the end of the world because of the most minuscule and pathetic grandfathered changes to negative gearing are being real quiet about this bit.

Heartland is core Atlas Network propaganda. Reform is *also* cozying up to Alliance Defending Freedom. *This* (legal activist) body belongs to the Christian theocratic (but free market) Council for National Policy - think Falwell ➡️ Bannon & (ex) Kirk Lots of US 💰 www.theguardian.com/global/2025/...

Applicants to a $500,000 program offered by Australian petroleum producer Santos to support flood-affected communities across the outback in mid-2025 were told they would only be given financial help if they said good things about the company in the media. New from me in @drilledmedia.bsky.social

Gastroturfing

The Australian literally found a guy with a Porsche and a property portfolio to be the voice of the 'victims' of the budget

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Stokes + Rinehart-backed outlets frame the story one direction -- the direction Rinehart donations have pointed for a decade. Anti-union. Anti-native title. Anti-environmental oversight. The thought experiment does not need Hanson in cabinet. It is already running. https://billionairescrimes.com

71% of Australians are in favour of a 25% tax on gas exports. Not sure why the govt is scared @skyelark.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Treasury modelling shows Morrison's job-ready graduates program means one in four humanities students will take more than 25 years to fully repay their student loans. It also increased the amount of debt held by the gov that will never be repaid www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#Auspol pls help. Do you know who is 'Muslim Votes Matter'? Is it a real org, or a fake election warping front, or a real org that's had its identity stolen with a fake website to trick folks into voting for fossil fascist PHON? I don't know! Click on the post below, scroll up for discussion.

WHO IS MVM? Article against MVM by Ali Kandri (ALP Member) www.abc.net.au/religion/for..., Reply by Ghaith Krayem, MVM spokesman www.abc.net.au/religion/aus... Unhelpful SBS piece quoting 'the group' but not a person, www.sbs.com.au/news/article... Some saying the current MVM site above is a fake!

#Auspol pls help. Do you know who is 'Muslim Votes Matter'? Is it a real org, or a fake election warping front, or a real org that's had its identity stolen with a fake website to trick folks into voting for fossil fascist PHON? I don't know! Click on the post below, scroll up for discussion.

Why is MVM hosted, per screenshot above, on the same US server as Monica Smits dodgy, anonymous site designed to harass public school teachers? parentstakingcharge.com As is her flag-waving racist front Reignite Democracy? CPAC Aust run by Andrew Cooper who has an 'AtlasNetwork Thinktank MBA'.

UPDATE: I deleted the post suggesting Muslim Votes Matter a fake 3rd party operation when Mike called it into question, and realising i'd not done my homework but was relying on Leo Puglisi/Ch 6. But then this popped up: bsky.app/profile/jere...

This is what AUKUS looks like in practice - we do what Trump and the US tells us meaning a total loss of sovereignty

I missed this a few days ago: "On Friday, May 1, 2026, Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee officially declined an invitation to attend the 14th International Writers Festival in Jerusalem, delivering a forceful critique of the Israeli state and its intellectual community." iol.co.za/entertainmen...

#Auspol OK, am still concerned. MVM website has NO NAMES (except one G. Krayem) of responsible officers or known Australian citizens on its website. If you're trying to influence voting outcomes, why not stand up & be accountable to your words & deeds? Here's another post (from an anon account 😱):

Their HTV cards in the recent election here in SA were structured to guide a voter away from RW parties. Their stats (I have not seen them) tell a picture of what voters do, not what they do.

If the Victorian government passes legislation by August, it could cut this bastardry off at the knees. Call or email your state MP.

The Japanese PM is in Australia right now to talk about our gas exports. She must be pretty keen to keep things how they are, considering Japan makes more revenue from Australia's gas exports than Australia does! @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

Straight from the #AtlasNetwork #Zionist #Fascist play book! Seymour wants to introduce his version of #ICE to NZ. If that doesn’t scare you, look at what is happening in America! #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

If this piece by Riboldi & Vromen uses a disappointing 'both sides' frame (real NGOs representing actual #Auspol workers & greenies treated on par with fossil funded/pop-up front orgs), it has useful data on Advance, ATA & AfP election ad spend. #AtlasNetwork press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/pr...

"U.S. crude oil exports surge to record as tankers flock to Gulf Coast during Iran war" So muck up the Strait of Hormuz and walk away, screw over Europe and US consumers and give huge profits to oil companies while paying companies not to install windmills is the plan?

While France is ditching fossil fuels Canada is crazily calling everyone they have contracts with: "we can sell you oil, we'll subsidize it with taxpayer money, we'll give it to you for free, we don't care, we just need to keep the companies happy .. please don't let the oil economy die.. (sobbing)"

Seriously just....WTF? NSW Premier Chris Minns is justifying opening up new gas fields by saying its needed for the grid. 2010 Gas: 5% Renewables: 2% 2026 Gas: 0.8% Renewables: 37.4%

Thanks to Treasurer Chalmers for the declaration that Pauline Hanson is “wholly owned” by Gina Rinehart. Very clear statement that the battlers’ far right party is actually an oligarch’s toy. Note all the Atlas Network activity around this. #Auspol lucyham29.substack.com/p/federal-tr...

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

Hey Australians: has the Albanese government announced a single pro-cleantech policy in response to the fossil fuel crisis? Electrification, renewables, anything? energyandcleanair.org/fossil-power...

Denmark ran their entire country on renewables for all of March, just Wind and Solar. If the UK can't manage full renewables by the end of this parliament, it will be a catastrophic failure caused entirely by corruption.

Since Viktor Orbán’s approach to governance in Hungary was cited by the Heritage Foundation as their blueprint for #Project2025 (kettering.org/the-global-d...) it seems like a good time to re-up this piece in Aug '24 piece in @thebulletin.org: thebulletin.org/2024/08/proj...

This is more than 11x the amount that Minneapolis has spent on bike infrastructure in the past decade. Milan GDP: $250B Mpls GDP: $350B For comparison, the 494 expansion from Edina to Richfield will cost $377M. 494/35W interchange: $255 million. We can have nice things. We just choose not to.
