Firing 350 CSIRO scientists will do nothing to reverse our plummeting economic complexity world ranking (105th). The $1M p/a scientist heading CSIRO thinks differently, but is refusing to let his own ‘sacking science’ be publicly reviewed. #FOI #auspol

Albanese's "natural hostility to engage in any sort of public conversation with voters is a major handicap...(He) owes it to voters to inspire confidence...Before he can talk about social cohesion he must lead with coherence and authenticity." Exactly! #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

I’ve said before that the modern christian conception of “god” is primarily a way of denying or disbelieving cause and effect if things happen “in mysterious ways,” you never have to address the very real reasons why they’re actually happening! so, the unity of evangelism & reality-denial fascism

AI psychosis seems to be caused by interaction a supportive voice that never says no. Never pushes the brakes. Interestingly the super rich experience a similar disassociation. After a certain point, people stop telling you no out of a fear of the power your wealth affords.

Child abuse is a central plank in the conservative platform, because physical mastery of the weak is how they establish dominance, their only value. It's not just something a lot of conservatives do, it is part of being a conservative.

Tracks given they also often believe “everyone knows from birth that the Baptist interpretation of Christianity is obviously 100% real and the Bible 100% factual and they only pretend to be atheists/other religions so they can revel in sin.” The far right simply lacks theory of mind

as a queer trans person, seeing SNL produce a parody skit that combines Heated Rivalry, a profoundly queer show along every axis, with Harry Potter, the property of a woman who thinks trans people are monsters, feels both extremely bad and woefully tone deaf

America today: State Compromised Media Perhaps @albomp.bsky.social should just lick his wounds, ditch his rushed, ill-conceived Zionist-inspired hate crime legislation, and focus on overhauling media licences and structurally reforming our legacy media landscape to avoid an America moment #auspol

One of the most interesting aspects of contemporary media discourse is the way that massive popular displays of support for pro-Palestinian and pacifist positions are just ignored by mainstream media. The Gathering for Gaza gig in Melbourne was huge

Excellent breakdown of the deep problems in the migration act changes Labor is chasing.(largely Islamophobic and removes procedural fairness.) #auspol

There is nothing this child rapist, mob boss could do that would make the Australian government put their people first. There is no crime too horrendous, no damage too horrific for Albanese to stand up for us. #auspol

the skills that go into creativity are trade/labor skills. the same metrics that you learn carpentry or cooking apply to drawing or singing or acting. anyone can learn them. anyone can gain experience with them. everyone should be paid for them.

The Peter Malinauskas letter encouraging the board of Adelaide Writers Week is astonishing, breathtaking and probably all the evidence required by Randa Abdel-Fattah and her legal team to successfully sue for defamation

The "well Labor are pissing off the right/left, so clearly they must be doing something right!" is another brainrot of neoliberalism, and also just. Really fucking annoying. Your pissweak centrism will always be used to give way to fascism, but it's okay as long it ~triggers the "extremists" #auspol

Almost a quarter of a million children have been plunged into poverty in just four years – a 33 per cent increase. Poverty is a result of deliberate government policy. Labor could change this tragedy, but doesn't. How is it acceptable in a wealthy country?

Labor are still trying to get the Coalition to support dangerous proposals to amend the Migration Act and allow the Home Affairs Minister to ban organisations and criminalise membership of those organisations. These changes are bad and the Greens stand with the community to oppose them.

Australian politics: • Anti-Muslim hate-speech: meh • Racism: meh • Antisemitism: bad • Anti-Zionism: Horrifyingly terrible.

Of what "culture" is it that they speak? Our "culture" of genocide? Our "culture" of racism? Our "culture" of settler-colonialism and imperialism? NONE of these things held so dear by the Right are "broken." ALL of them are shamefully alive and well, in FULL SWING. #auspol

This idea is absolutely brain-dead and absolutely everywhere.

😥

the way to tell whether a person is credible is by *listening to what they say* and checking it against verifiable facts. The idea that you can bypass this with some value-neutral procedure is asinine if you think about it for two seconds and also the guiding ideology of 99% of American elites.

"the guy pooping in the reservoir is criticized by both sides, therefore he must be doing something right" please use your fucking brain

Time to end AUKUS, remove US bases and chart an independent, principled and safe defence and foreign policy for Australia. Cringing in fear under the tattered US umbrella while it’s being used to beat up US allies is no longer a credible plan.

The United States is now punishing close NATO allies because they oppose him invading and stealing Greenland. The response of the Australian Labor Party and the Coalition is silence, pretend it’s normal and build even more US bases here. They are endangering our national safety.

Labor has a huge fucking amount of seats and power - they're not doing jackshit about climate change, or the rising amount of poverty, because that is precisely what they want to do. They want to put more people in poverty. They want to approve fossil fuels. It's not fucking rocket science. #auspol
