Dr Jeremy Walker details the “enormous war chest” of Advance & lists funders inc Gina Rinehart, James Packer, IPA board, Woodside’s Charles Goode & “the priv foundation of Jillian Segal” - who pay Advance to “flood social media with aggressive Far Right disinformation”🔥 #auspol

"<X> won't rule out <Y>" headlines are the absolute laziest form of journalism. Typically, these all come about from a journalist trying unsuccessfully to bait a politician with a loaded question & then failing to elicit a reply. So they make a story out of that instead. #auspol #ThisIsNotJournalism

What an amazing human being is our very own Kon I nominated him for Aussie of the Year many years ago Will do so again for 2027 He’s been a powerful voice for our wonderful migrant community Sometimes, a lonely voice He’s spot on here, as usual Bless you Kon

An event in a synagogue in Caulfield, Melbourne, today with representatives flogging "real estate developments& opportunities" in so-called Israel. Encouraging people to steal more Palestinian land& tear people from their homes. These ghouls live amongst us & get full backing from government #auspol

Oh my, AI.😬

Australia, tell the racists from One Nation to f-off. “For see, the problem is occurrin' Australia's culture, this big pot you stir And you get beautiful things from this huge racial mix Don't take all from the one that inflicts the stereotype of what's great.”

The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.

When a person who tried to steal an election with an orchestrated insurrection tells you he’s going to protect future elections, you’re fucked. The time to deal with him is now America. The rest of us are doing our part. Your turn. Sincerely, The Free World

DHS/ICE is not welcome in Italy during the Olympics. Period!

Is he dead yet?

The real leader of the Liberal Party is unchanged. #auspol

Big news for freedom of expression in Britain and embarrassing for a Labour government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I think there’s something in that for all of us, don’t you? #auspol

AEC disclosures show more than $138 million in political funding in 2024–25 had no declared source under the current rules. When dark money & big donors shape our politics, public trust suffers. Australians deserve govts that are not fundraising from industries that profit when policy is weakened.

Has the war criminal left Australia yet? Because as long as he is here, I didn’t feel safe at all. Dangerous man supported by dangerous people.

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

been watching the olympics and i think i found a solution to the male loneliness crisis

Cool. Doing a frame by frame analysis to check whether 6 cops beating up a 76-year-old man is ok or not

Melbourne showed up

“Mum what do you think about what’s happening in Palestine?” My 85 year old mum. I don’t know much about politics but killing thousands and thousands of children is evil.” This from a woman whose village in Italy was occupied by Nazis so she knows exactly what evil looks like.

After a very long dry spell in Melbourne, this is one of the best sounds ever

Hey media Stop diluting the truth about Trump and Epstein’s relationship with Trump’s phone call in 2006. That was just to cover up his own involvement in the paedophile ring. He and Epstein remained friends long after that call. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The protest in Melbourne on Thursday has a new time and location. Please share widely

First hand account of the police violence in sydney ...

This is lovely theconversation.com/as-beautiful...

Observing that a protest in Melbourne where police were not granted outrageous powers went relatively well and a protest in Sydney where police were granted outrageous powers descended into chaos and Drawing Some Conclusions

You know, it’s just possible to feel really bad about the violent deaths of Israeli Jews, the genocide in Palestine and the deaths of Australian Jews all while being neither anti-Semitic or Islamophobic. Somehow that has become impossible for the political class.

I approve of this message.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

i think people mad about bad bunny’s performance have never been forced to consider that not everything is for you

If some of you Aussies want a Yuzu or other citrus, The Diggers Club is having a "Green Sale" and so the tree + postage will come to about $40. Which is a pretty good deal. * Shipping is restricted to certain States due to quarantine.

So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.

The restored tiles at Mecca in Melbourne are just beautiful.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

This graffiti nailed it.

Remember when Chip Le Grand put this creep on the front page of The Age, claiming Melbourne was “ground zero” for lockdown harms (because Victoria decided not to let its citizen die en masse)?

Incredible stuff from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/igno...

The Brazilian federal police detained me for an hour as I had once overstayed a visa by accident for two weeks. After giving me a lecture on immigration policies, they released me. If I had been a Brazilian in the United States, I'd be in jail. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

Epstein files shed more light on Steve Bannon’s efforts to influence European politics Donald Trump’s former adviser told Epstein in 2019 that he was ‘focused on raising money for Le Pen and Salvini’ before European elections Are we surprised 🤔. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Can we get some media crit and review on this?

Wow, that is incredible

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Looking towards the city from Brighton Beach gardens. Such a lovely view.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets. Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract. And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts. Always follow the money.

🎉🎉🎉 #auspol

Excellent news.

This keeps happening, and the other reporters keep acting like it’s business as usual. I’m losing my mind. If I was in a press conference and a public official did this, I’d immediately walk out.
