The Liberal party are embarrassing and rudderless. Sussan Ley has shown in the last week that she is unfit to be future PM. #auspol #bondi

After a few months of appearing decent against the backdrop of leading the feuding Froot Loops, the loony, Islamophobic, Aldi One Nation, Sussan Lee emerges. #auspol #bondi

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Oh deary me…

Words fail. Parliamentarians hosting Parliamentary Friends of AUKUS, with an event featuring the Defence Minister, paid for by lobbyists who sell armaments. This is cash for access, pure and simple. Supported and promoted by ALP and Liberal MPs. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Because they are white, the media calls them a “brat pack” not white gangs. Remember when the racist Australian media spread fear of (nonexistent) African gangs and white people feeling unsafe to go to restaurants? #ausmedia #auspol

What was the racial backgrounds of the rioters? They should deport the lot of them! #mordiallocriot #auspol youtube.com/watch?v=krI7...

Jillian Segal's plan is worse than useless: "Which of Segal’s recommendations would have addressed the failure to spot an IS terrorist preparing for an attack virtually in plain sight?" - regulating editorial content of newspapers? - “educating” judges? - cutting funds to universities? #auspol

It was worth the annual subscription for this editorial… too many great lines.

Incredible the entire press gallery is actually buying the line (promulgated by Netanyahu!) that Albanese is personally to blame for the Bondi attack. No one is actually explaining how firing academics for opposing Israel’s genocide would stop two people who never went to uni from this shooting.

We won't be lectured on "extremism" by a party who: - can't tell the difference between antisemitism and legitimate criticism of Israel - actively supports a genocide - used racism to defeat The Voice - voted "It's OK to be white", and - is considering a white supremacist migration policy. #auspol

Note to Sussan Ley: if the comments you’re choosing to make right now are identical to what Pauline Hanson is saying, you’re what she is.

It’s just too on the nose. (📸 Mixvale)

At this time, I think this contemplative koala seems apt. You've seen this photo before but you probably need this little guy now. Sleaford Bay, Eyre Peninsula.

Was Pauline Hanson wearing *her* burqa when she spouted this incoherent drivel?: “The [PM] never heeded the warning signs, including the weekly antisemitic protests across our nation, hate speech from certain religious clerics, our obnoxious universities and probable terrorist alert.” #Bondi #auspol

“Electric cars are no more dangerous for pedestrians than petrol and diesel models, researchers find.” They’re also no safer. Which reminds us that “better cars” aren’t the main answer to the consequences of cars. The main answer is fewer (and smaller) cars driven less frequently in better cities.

Within the space of two weeks melbourne’s best project (Metro Tunnel) and just plain rubbish project (Westgate Tunnel) open. #naarm

So I am Australian, and I just had to verify my age to Bluesky, but I want to know how old the photo guesstimator guessed my age to be.

So the Albanese government is all steam ahead for fossil fuels that will make future generations extinct, but yay for this light show about *saving* kids from social media.

Holy moly, it’s carnage in the streets of #Melbourne. Trump has sent in NYPD

Cry me a river, Linda Reynolds. Your lack of empathy is next level. #auspol #730

At this juncture, the Victorian government’s actions on VicHealth and Sustainability Victoria appear very shortsighted and galling. #VicPol

“charged with dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception” - sounds like a charge that could be levelled at the casino as well www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Victorians relieved.

Perth’s airport rail far exceeds anything in Sydney, Brisbane and (ahem) Melbourne. $5.20 makes taking PT price competitive on top of excellent convenience. Winning!

The full cost of the BoM website has been known for some time — I reported it in September last year — so why would management not be honest about it? It’s a story of executives meeting the firm ‘Accidenture’. $96m later… www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2025/11...

Quokkas are my new favourite marsupial #rottnestisland

Hi @australia.theguardian.com. I live near a new station, and my work was arm’s length from a soundbox at another under construction. The construction was annoying and frustrating, but not chaotic. There is no mention of the supposed “chaos” in the article either. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#RioTinto are wrecking the planet, but they are LGBTIQifying their logo, so that’s nice. #perth

QR table *service* is a really good way to filter out where not to eat.

Hey everyone, come to Melbourne city where the police will randomly* pat you* down for knives to make you feel safe… how appealing. *srsly, we all know how unrandom the pat-downs will be.

WWTD - What would Trump do? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Profoundly true and powerful article from @doctorvive.bsky.social "Such a bloc will have no power if its leaders are not forced to resolve their ambivalence about phasing out fossil fuels" And resolving "ambivalence" is what I meant in this post below five days ago 👇 #EdMiliband scrapcc.org/COP30

Who would have guessed that the big private consultant companies’ fingers were all over the crappy and expensive #BOM website? It’s almost like there’s a pattern. #auspol #Accenture #Deloitte

This is extraordinarily worrying as this anti science misinformation will harm/kill people, and forge further distrust in health institutions

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”

As the US persistently focuses on itself, it increasingly feels like the rest of the world is moving on assuming a post-US future. #Trump

Pure joy on the Bike Bus this morning!

Bánh whoever came up with this shit #foodcrimes

No, it means you should undertake a scientifically valid, independent investigation to test your hypothesis and produce rigorous evidence to support your stance.

The racism on #BBAU is pretty confronting

Is several more than multiple? Or the reverse?

Good morning to all those people who wasted the last decade saying, "there's no point tackling climate change in the UK, because China." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
