The Albanese government is paying a bikie gang hundreds of millions to keep ~100 asylum seekers on Nauru, an island of ~12000 people, about the size of Tullamarine airport. They can’t work, can’t afford decent food, and can’t access proper healthcare. www.theage.com.au/world/oceani...

“Richo told Marles to get closer to NSW branch and to Anthony Albanese. Very soon, there was an unofficial pact. When Bill Shorten stumbled again as leader three years later, Marles and Albanese acted immediately on the Richardson-brokered alliance.” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

The ALP designed the NACC with the assistance of the LNP to ensure everyone remained very, very safe and comfortable

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...? #auspol might be time to review entitlements? Put pollies on public service rates? Definitely time to ditch the misogyny.

The incumbent @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt is stacked with careerist political elites who, collectively, lack a scintilla of empathy for those less fortunate. Galling that they receive a minimum of $322 per day tax free in travel allowance but feed crumbs to others #auspol

60,000 Australian Fly-In-Fly-Out workers might look at politicians’ family reunion entitlements and wonder. So too might taxpayers. 1/2 #auspol

i am impressed by the ALP's determination to deliver a one-two power combo to the nutsack of their greatest foe, the ALP. paff: kick future voters in the face pow: refuse to ban gambling ads masterful gambit, sir.

I think we were all naive. When the ALP under Albo were elected in I thought the days of lies and deceit were over but in reality nothing has changed.

Letting you know in advance that our final #SundayShot for 2025 is a ripper! One of our most popular guests @dncameron.bsky.social returns & we're thrilled to have @zoedaniel.bsky.social with us. Plus cameos from some of our favourite contributors across the year...and Xmas MERCH!! Not to be missed.

The Government of secrecy and obscuration ‼️ Multiple sources confirm the Albanese government has pushed lobbyists and industry groups to use encrypted messages and verbal briefings when proposing policy ideas, to avoid FOI and disclosure requirements. #FuckAlbo #auspol

When it comes to snouts in the trough, and secrecy, it's becoming difficult to distinguish @albomp.bsky.social 's @australianlabor.bsky.social government from that of Scotty Morrison's. #auspol

Shout out to this guy (@albomp.bsky.social) for proving that age-old maxim: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." 🙌🏻 #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Australia has eased tensions with China, but deeper habits remain. Selective outrage, old alliance reflexes and context-free headlines still shape policy and limit any real reset, writes David Higginbottom. #auspol #China #ForeignPolicy

The social media ban doesn't solve bullying, but it does teach kids that govts will go to extraordinary lengths to build & maintain systems to protect bullies rather than solve bullying Women are very familiar with that scenario. Start with empathy lessons in school 🐝 #auspol

Australia's mainstream media is obsessed with the colour and movement of conflict. As 'both sides' support #AUKUS, they have failed to investigate whether it might be a huge, wasteful and dangerous dud 'deal'. Our media rarely 'speak truth to power'. They parrot power's talking points. #auspol

Instead of always attacking the most vulnerable of groups, how about we get an automated tax system for the very rich? With no opportunity to redress if the computers charge *too much* tax. #auspol #albomp.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Australians have a right to access government information and to understand how decisions are made on their behalf. I just signed this @australiainstitute.org.au petition calling to end government secrecy: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/end_governme... #auspol

youtu.be/AnfRKHe91yc?... the question and answer always are more revealing , this bloke is drowning . they have no plan , if they did and if it was better for Australia they won't tell us until the next election anyway

Removing all care from the caring industry. This is going to be soul destroying for clients and staff, such an obviously bad idea. Wouldn't a decent society be happy to genuinely look after its own? #auspol #australia #goingbackwards #uncaring #ndis

Social media replicates traditional mainstream media in this way: the “right-wing” ideology is pure poison and in order to have any real hold in the general population requires billionaires to control and manipulate the information sphere to relentlessly distort, fearmonger and warmonger.

Shameful, but not surprising. Whether it is - jobs for mates - failure to fix #whistleblower law - freedom *from* information under #FOI - the knackered #NACC - #AUKUS secrets - dodgy deals on #Nauru the Albanese govt is losing trust and credibility. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

How to sit on a report for 2 years then ignore its recommendations - a government guide. No Favourites report (aka Jobs for Mates) gets the cold shoulder. #whatsthescam #auspol @kimwingerei.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/after-27-mon...

I've worked hard with all non-govt senators to secure release of the Briggs review. Now it's clear why the Albanese Govt was hiding it for two years. They are refusing to implement recommendations designed to ensure we have merit-based appointments 🤯 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The @australianlabor.bsky.social Party are proving to be just as corrupt as Scott Morrison. And that’s saying something. #auspol.

Trump’s push for Australian migrant crime data risks fuelling fear, distorting evidence and scapegoating vulnerable people, write Leanne Weber, Alison Gerard and Marinella Marmo. #AusPol #Migration #HumanRights #CriminalJustice #EvidenceBasedPolicy #PearlsAndIrritations

#auspol Kerry O'Brien's Walkley speech. "... we should be seriously disappointed that the government has fallen short of the expectations that Mr. Albanese raised six years ago" www.youtube.com/watch?v=s--o...

What's official period for complaining about people chucking out their dead Christmas trees on the nature strip? I want to get max value out of that

That @albomp.bsky.social hides behind ‘caucus solidarity’ as a pathetic excuse for refusing a free vote on issue of banning gambling advertising is a poignant illustration why political parties are on the nose. Most Australians want a gambling advertising ban, few wanted a social media ban #auspol

Agree. But it makes it so much easier for Trump when you have allies like the Australian government who confuse Trump regime sycophancy for foreign policy. #auspol

Good on you Ed, but watch your back mate! #auspol thepoint.com.au/news/251125-...

The Albanese government would never allow any Greens or Indies on the #AUKUS committee. Because it is not about "scrutiny". It is to rubber stamp Labor and LNP's bipartisan sell-out of Australia to the US. #auspol

Good. The gold in that cathedral alone would feed a starving country. It's an obscene show of wealth.

Risk on dodgy Nauru has exploded with @davidshoebridge.bsky.social @davidpocock.bsky.social fraud reveals. Janet Pelly reports #auspol michaelwest.com.au/australias-r...

Seems like Dutton didn’t need to worry “The committee idea was reportedly dropped from the Coalition’s election policies over Dutton’s concerns Albanese would appoint Greens and independent MPs.” #auspol #AUKUS

What the hell is wrong with this government? Or is it just Albo and a select few neoliberal mates making these insidious decisions? #auspol

BREAKING: Pauline Hanson is in hot water after it’s revealed she charged taxpayers thousands$ for flights, priv cars & hotels to attend her private court matter where it was found she Racially discriminated Mehreen Faruqi. She classifies it as work. Should pay it back & Resign.

Quick heads up! Cheryl, Noely, Ronni & I - are chatting about our #auspol year & looking at the year ahead - for SpinProof - *LIVE* this Friday at midday (AEDT) right here > www.podbean.com/lsw/zqEWRi85... Hope you can join us.

We must legislate media reform, genuine election donor reform, gambling advertising ban, fair dinkum environmental protections, actual phase out of fossil fuel & new project ban …and if @albomp.bsky.social hasn’t got courage & conviction to do it…he should stand aside for someone who will #auspol

It's all just so stupid, isn't it? - Amy Remeikis www.deepcutnews.com/p/its-all-ju...

Of course Brockman allowed Hanson to waltz around in a burqa . The majority of the LNP parliamentarians are virtually a subbranch of One Nation . The handful of moderates in the party are a gutless rabble who are not prepared to take a stand for what they claim to believe.

As @albomp.bsky.social puts his dutiful wheeler dealer Murray Watt to work, horse trading with the opposition & greens, in attempt to railroad through deeply flawed, if not patently dodgy environmental reforms - fact is, it would sail through both houses if it was genuine & beneficial #auspol #qt

Over the years Ms Ley has supported multiple issues which she’s backed down on as they are no longer politically convenient for her. Now she’s pulled DV out of the issues hat - which is an issue which needs to be more than her current political convenience 😡😡 #auspol

Every word of this, thanks Birmo! @birmo.bsky.social aliensideboob.substack.com/p/who-deserv...

What is Accountability Laundering? It is the political practice of deliberately offloading or obscuring responsibility to avoid answering for one’s actions. #australia #auspol #anthonyalbanese theaimn.net/the-great-be...

Only surprise is that the Albanese govt would consider 'national interest' at all, given their policies are directed by fossil fuel and mining interests. #environment #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...
