#ICYMI 2/2 #auspol

Last year, after a 2 year+ fight, the #FOI Commissioner lifted the secrecy blanket over how foreign takeovers of Aussie companies are approved. The Govt is appealing my win AND are now also trying to change the law, including for matters on appeal. 1/2 #UnfairFight #auspol

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

Labour council 'gaslighting' locals on toxic asbestos danger as housing developers 'cut corners' Labour has allowed private housing developers to cause a public health crisis by cutting corners on the site of a former asbestos factory www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

The only thing that happens in 'Trickle Down' Economics is that they eventually institute fascism to protect their vast stolen wealth.

The White House is essentially claiming anything it doesn't like is "ANTIFA", so this executive order designating it as a terrorist org is essentially a blank cheque to arrest whomever they want. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

They've known it for years.

What everyone at the UN is thinking right now 👇

Lol

Turkish President Erdogan shows photos from Gaza showing the genocide committed by Israel. "Can we possibly have a reason for this brutality in 2025?"

Thank You Ross Gittins for posting this to a free-to-access site. This exposes just how shitty Albanese’s crew is re climate. The new net zero targets are a mere fig leaf. 🧵 johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

Trump spreading fossil fuel propaganda lies at the UN - what an embarrassing president for the US.

In the litigious world of Donald Trump, "I'll see you in court" is as common as "good morning". Maybe it's time for Kenvue, the company which makes Tylenol, to haul his ass into court. Kenvue, formerly part of Johnson & Johnson, appears to have deep enough pockets.

*Dear Susssan* "—if the international community had stepped in as soon as Israel commenced taking Palestinian land beyond its side of the 1967 borders, we would not be in this position." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

Everyone gets up and walks out when Netanyahu speaks. It's a shame they didn't do it for Donald Trump as well.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

"Iran has desperately tried to pursue the path of negotiations, but has been betrayed, insulted, sanctioned, and physically attacked for its efforts. It is no longer a matter of if the next Iran war will occur, but when."

Yesterday the UN said governments were planning to use more than DOUBLE the fossil fuels that would be compatible with a liveable future. Today the UN climate chief focuses on what AI can do for climate - and in doing so validates snake oilers narrative creep razgo.medium.com/why-ai-is-th...

To give rare credit to Australian mainstream media, their response to Trump's stupidity has mostly been [like this piece] evidence-based and humane. Yet it's the same media who insist that Albanese must meet with this president, who is so clearly a liar, a fool, and a dangerous fraud. #auspol

Our thin skinned, bronze faced president wanted to file federal charges against a woman who yelled at him in a restaurant. His DOJ wanted a felony indictment against a former employee who threw a sandwich at an agent. Comedians are being fired for jokes he doesn’t like. #1stAmendment #ProudBlue

Being snubbed by Trump is a badge of honor

A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.

💥Wow! Colombia will host the first international negotiations conference on the phase out of #fossil fuels next year in April: fossilfueltreaty.org/phase-out-co... This is not any conference, this is between government representatives 👀 👏👏👏

So Australians are supposed to be disappointed that our PM won’t be meeting a lunatic who believes Paracetamol causes Autism. Spare me! Ian

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... Annexation of occupied Palestinian land would accelerate Israel’s trajectory towards the isolated “super-Sparta” status that Netanyahu celebrated last week and then backed away from after public outrage and economic warnings.

Anyone who ignores international law bombing boats in international waters, sends innocent civilians to torture prisons, supplies a genocide, attacks free press is not our ally. We have to stop treating the US as a decent country.

“Netanyahu of Sept 2025 is unhinged; detached from reality, with an acute case of delusion of grandeur [about the idea he is] redrawing the regional map; afraid of an election; scared of his trial [on corruption charges]. If all of those point to partial annexation, he might actually do something.”

Australia's national interest is better served by Albo not getting a meeting with Trump.

Just put in a complaint to SBS News about tonight's Gaza/Israel segment. Constantly platforming an accused war criminal who is allowed to freely air his lies while his country is openly committing genocide is utterly unacceptable. Totally different treatment of Duterte when BOTH are ICC-indicted.

FFS SBS News - STOP PLATFORMING Netanyahu! This genocidal criminal is wanted for war crimes - he continually brags about what crimes he's done & still plans to do. Why NEVER MENTION that Israel murdered at least half the victims on Oct 7? And that Hamas offered ALL hostages back on Oct 9! SHAME!

@albomp.bsky.social needs to check in with China how they will react if/when NATO bomb the beejezus out of Russia (not before time) & Australia supports them. We are in enemy of my enemy of my friend of my enemy 🤪 territory. USA is no longer 🇦🇺 ally. USA troops etc should leave our shores.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... The Trump administration is waging a culture war on Europe by aggressively promoting the Maga movement’s political and ideological allies in Europe, actively seeking to interfere in European elections, and publicly humiliating the EU on the world stage.

It's insane to have these forward bases for the US. A couple of ballistic missiles and they're gone, along with hundreds, possibly thousands of Australian lives. To what end? You really think China is going to invade Australia?

Agree. Time to quietly back on out of this shit. No more bases and no extending current ones. Sunset all arrangements. They want bases? They've sequestered their own islands in the Pacific they can build them on. Leave us out of it.

Now that we formally recognise that Palestine has a right to exist, does that mean that we'll be kicked off AUKUS by Trump? Or do they still want our dollars to help them build more war machines? And I still say, if this still goes ahead, we aren't getting any subs.

Seriously, it’s time for Australia to cut the ties that bind us to the now defunct USA. NO more American wars. No more handing our sovereignty to the US Military Industrial Complex. No more bowing to a crazed, despotic numbskull. Dump AUKUS.

Had an image just now of Trump coming to OZ... ferried from Kirrilbilli to the Opera House in stately progress. And the world's biggest, pissed off, flotilla. Don't even think about it @albomp.bsky.social

Money talks! Disney haemhorraged billions over this poor decision. But a lot of the money that walked probably won't return. Disney forever dead to me and to many others.
