You said it, Ronni.

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla. Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained. The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

Andrew Hastie's resignation could not be less relevant to the future of Australia. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

My latest article in The Shot "The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club" #pffft theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Speaking truth @ronnisalt.bsky.social The myth of ‘social cohesion’ – do as they say, not as they do theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Could the National Press Club be less embarrassing and less complicit in the genocide of Palestine/the West's decline into overt fascism, pretty, pretty, pretty please? 🙏 Cancelling Chris Hedges' talk on the betrayal of Palestinian journalists only proves his point. Truly, truly pathetic

So the National Press Club - an association of journalists - doesn't wanna talk about all the journalists being deliberately targeted and murdered during a genocide because . . . it might upset the people that are targeting and murdering the journalists who were reporting on a genocide? Umm, WTF?

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières just had their 14th member of staff killed by Israeli occupation forces. Israel deserves to be fully sanctioned. Netanyahu’s Govt make apartheid South Africa look like a benign state. www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/msf-d...

Does a single one of the Australian National Press Club 'people' care about the murder of hundreds - HUNDREDS - of journalists, photographers, news crews & support staff in Gaza? The 'Freedom of the Press section' of its website has two entries from 2022, about China & Russia. npc.org.au/our-people

What an incredible act of cowardice by the National Press Club. WTF.

Always remember - gas companies hate selling gas to Australians and none of the proposals for new gas fields (which are not needed) will be for domestic use. So do not buy any of the spin.

Thread.

He'd been giving out multi-million dollar advertising contracts to his mates, without any tenders at all. And lying about reports that he claimed to have requested from consultants, reports that didn't exist. By the time the "Where the bloody hell are you" ad disaster came - his goose was cooked

Safe?? A 'deal' hatched by Scott Morrison to wedge Labor stupidly adopted by Labor in 24 hours that hands over billions to the US for subs we may never get and forces dependency on an unstable far right regime whose 'Secretary of War' is a Christo-Fascist drunk is not going to make us SAFE. #AUKUS

There will never be any confidence in the NACC while Brereton has anything to do with it.

Sidenote: Did you know that the NACC employs over 200 people, spends over $50m per year, has 5 offices, and in over two years of operations hasn't landed a single major corruption finding?

It's time our politicians kicked their US habit www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Are we supposed to be impressed? Proud? This is what our foreign policy has become. Absolutely fckin ridiculous.

🇮🇱 Israeli Spokesperson: “it's a war” 🇮🇹Italian commentator: “it's not a war, you have an army! You have the world's best intelligence! You have always been the aggressor towards Palestinians, you want their land, liars! and murderers!..”

At the UN today Trump called climate change the ‘greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.’ Congrats to the clever plotters for enlisting the planet’s glaciers, oceans and forests in their scheme.

So much of Australian political coverage is a demand for a shit performance of a poorly written play.

NEW: The escalating crackdown on dissenting thought and opinion is taking Australia down a dark road, writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social www.deepcutnews.com/p/from-charl...

This is very good news. Meeting Trump is a bad idea that never helps anyone or any country. Stay as far away from the fetid, racist, sex pest as you can. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is so utterly vile.

Hang on… The Albanese Labor Govt is saying that elderly Australians have to pay more for basic at home care - as spending needs to be reigned in. But - they give over $200b of our public money to the US & UK for submarines we’ll never see. What a betrayal #auspol

Labor has given up on the science and caved in to their coal and gas donors. Just this month they approved the biggest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere, and now they’ve set a weak climate target that will mean devastating heatwaves, fires and floods for us all.

Sussan Ley “We don’t believe in setting targets at all” Sussan Ley confirms her transition to the hard right is complete. #auspol

So #boycottTassieSalmon would be the best response

Labor’s real climate policy is to extend and expand fossil fuel mining until 2070, and not care abt those emissions because they’re overseas. Local emissions volumes will be “offset” in fraudulent sequestration schemes. They’ll bang on about renewables as if they are driving solar & battery tech.

"Labor has unveiled a target closer to pathetic than unambitious — 62% to 70% below 2005 levels. But like Morrison’s net zero, the target will be a distraction designed to foster the image of climate action while Labor gets on with doing its best to accelerate global heating." #ClimateCrisis #auspol

🇦🇺 needs a strong 2035 target to protect the people & places we love. Climate scientists tell us it must be a min of 75% The Govt have an opportunity to show leadership & put long-term wellbeing ahead of vested interests History will judge them on this. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Australian Government's (bad) excuse for more gas? So that the world will use less coal...🤨 So why is the Australian Government...also approving new coal mines!? 🔊 Executive Director Richard Denniss appearing at the Senate Environment Committee @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol
