"Inadvertently" my arse. Furthermore, Paul Brereton should not be in the employ of the government, @albomp.bsky.social. Sack Brereton. #auspol #NACC

That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years. "Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third." This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government. www.smh.com.au/national/csi...

This guy's position became untenable years ago. And yet here we still are, where everytime someone looks at something it just gets worse.

New report indicates 1 in 6 Western Australian children in acute housing distress. 1 in 4 in food insecurity. While billions of dollars flow out to Japan for free in gas that is destroying livelihoods and industries by the dozens. And killing entire ecological systems.

A daily morning walk and swim before work’s a game changer. I love being back by the sea 💙

Never mock an activist. If you have a social conscience, it’s intrinsic. If you don’t - STFU. #activism

'The implications here are worth considering. News Corp, a foreign-owned media company, now has a direct stake in framing the Australian housing narrative and influencing policy, while profiting through its property platform from listings, data, and its own mortgages.'

Narrator: No they don’t.

Did anyone else get to The Pixies at Fremantle Prison last night? Superb! #thepixies

So, last night 4 Corners does an important story about child sexual abuse in child care and Sussan Ley attempts to discredit Albanese about a t-shirt…. Furthermore, there’s a couple of million Australians who have suffered childhood abuse that will affect their lives forever…. But a t-shirt…..

The Albanese government is upset because the Senate has asked it to release a report into jobs given to mates. It is quite specifically grumpy about answering more questions in question time www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

CREW: The donor list for the ballroom reads like a cross-section of the most powerful interests in America. On one end, there are corporate giants — Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta — all with significant stakes in federal regulation and government contracts.

If 42 million Americans rely on Snap benefits - surely the No Kings rallys can do better than 7 million? 🤔 #snap

For my electronica loving friends - how good was this? youtu.be/IAvHjoLxxh8?... #electronica

Wow - I should update that list. Thanks for sharing it. Here's an updated map of independent publishers.

“#Rudd created headlines for all the wrong reasons.” #JaneNorman you’re letting your bias show again. That headline was not created by Rudd but your friends RW/conservatives looking for a gotcha to spoil #Albo ‘s meeting with #Trump.

Thanks Qantas.

Fantastic. #renewableenergy

The environment minister wants to pass a major re-write of federal nature laws this year, encouraging miners to lobby the Coalition to work with Labor to help rush it through parliament 🤯

FINALLY the SMH editorial team has called out fascist Trump and his goon squad after their disgraceful act against press freedoms earlier today at the Pentagon Screenshots of the editors note are in the comments We need more media to stand up to this normalisation of fascism before it’s too late

14 years of methane leaking from Santos’s Darwin LNG plant. Instead of fixing it, they argued that meeting international standards was too costly. When major emitters dismiss responsibility as an “intolerable risk” it’s all of us that pay the price instead. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

It appears to be designed this way. #NACC www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/16/n...

New: The NACC has over two hundred employees and an annual budget of over $60m, but has yet to land a single major finding from over 5,000 referrals. The pressure is rising.

Does the NACC have any hope of regaining public trust? Good article by @nickfeik.bsky.social www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/16/n...

FFS. #NACC

Oh, look: it's the Antichrist and his acolytes, at the podium. So sick of this sanctification of trump. #Israel #Gaza #Netanyahu #hostages #Peace #Ceasefire #Knesset #IsraeliParliament #Palestine

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I had a lot of respect for Penny Wong and I get diplomacy but this makes me nauseous. I’ll never link to news.com but she’s given them ammo.

It’s happening here too. #censorship

Why is this grifter still on the public purse? The government seems to give him a perpetual free pass despite an enquiry and two integrity experts advising he should resign for misconduct. #brereton www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

What's happening over there? 🥺 I hope things don't get any worse.

not satire 😳

While some leaders may call climate change a "con job", we know it's impacting ever corner of our country. Ignoring these warnings & failing to invest in action + adaptation betrays communities across the country and leaves us unprepared. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/se...

The performative mourning driven by social media, was from blueprints sitting there in large conservative think-tanks like the Heritage Foundation, waiting to be deployed The alleged outrage was at its core, manufactured recreational grief-bait My latest in The Shot theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

I’m wrong! It’s actually $368b of our public money. Close to a double betrayal then #auspol

One of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard. Another love, Tom Odell 💔 With a Fur Elise intro. youtu.be/1zEIuTPho34?...

The US Republicans letter to Albanese et al re: Palestinian recognition.....final paragraph threatens possible undisclosed punitive measures.

“Charm offensive”?!🤣🤦‍♀️ It was a grotesque display of sychophancy from a failed empire to a rapidly dying one The “practiced pomp” of appeasing deranged dictators has never worked out well for the Brits, Greggy This isn’t winning; it’s capitulating, FFS!

Password/Data leak on my.gov.au But nothing in the media? Why so quiet?

#Fascism in action - I agree, pay attention, #auspol. This culture war shit is another back door into #Australia. I've already witnessed concessions to US fascist ideology in a number of Aussie spaces. We do not want this here.

Pay attention Australia…if this continues, it’ll be us next. #freespeech

And it's happening here Treacy. The New Daily pulled a piece by Amy Remeikis. And our Children's Hospital (Victoria,) cancelled a seminar on paediatrics in war zones... After objections from Jewish lobby in Sydney citing antisemitism and workplace concerns!!!

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

Bye bye, First Amendment. Hello, fascism.

I hope Henry VIII ghost haunts the f*ck of out of Windsor Castle tonight.

As a result - ABC (US) has suspended the Jimmy Kimmel show. Fox News on the other hand remains unaffected after one of its hosts called for mentally ill homeless people, to be lethally injected. The fourth estate is dead in the US, it’s a dictatorship. #jimmykimmel

Sussan Lley "I don't want anyone who's on welfare to feel in any sense that this is about targeting them," she said during a Q&A portion of the event. (via ABC News) Why would they think that, Sussan? Could it be the actual words you said? #AusPol
