Congratulations to Monique Ryan for holding Kooyong against pretend renter but really multi-millionaire property investor, Amelia Hamer.

@hoolier.bsky.social never misses

It was obviously only won by a hair, but WTF were the people of #Goldstein thinking, putting a POS like #Wilson back into Parliament? FFS. He's such a narcissist, I bet he'll run for leadership of LNP. Meanwhile Hansons daughter is getting enuf votes to put Lambie at risk??? FMD 🤦😱 #auspol

When you don’t know, vote no to Dutton. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The xbench (especially @drhelenhainesmp) has been calling for household battery incentives for years. Paying $150 paid to energy companies is a temporary patch. Batteries are part of the long-term solution to high bills & to the climate crisis. Let’s get on with it. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Here’s a surprise, Peter Dutton’s fuel excise cut is not only bad economic and environmental policy, it turns out the Coalition has also cooked the books on how much people are likely to get. australiainstitute.org.au/post/fuel-ex...

I thought I would help Marty deliver on his promise 😂

How in the fuck do we live in a world where women still let others frame the abortion debate as being about whether a foetus is a person, when the real debate is about whether a woman is a fucking person? #NewsCorpse

Zelensky said he had brokered a peace deal for Canada to take over the USA, during a summit to which the US was not invited.

ICYMI: Dutton has engaged controversial creative agency Topham Guerin, known for its aggressive use of disinformation tactics and deepfake technology, for the election campaign. Expect LOTS of lies. 😠 #auspol #AusVotes2025 www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

I feel like posting this every time we hear a lie from Dutton www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

“We cannot assume America has any altruistic regard for AUS.” - Malcolm Turnbull #auspol

Dutton: If we allow the government to reduce crime in indigenous communities, we will not be able to point out that the government is not doing anything about crime in indigenous communities. #auspol

And it was not a “stunt gone wrong”. It was a deeply political provocation designed to generate lies that could be reported as facts. Posing as journalism. There absolutely needs to be an investigation of this rogue organisation at heart of our politics & they need to be held to account. Fat chance.

Why is Australia not issuing travel warnings for the US 🤷‍♀️

Caeden (10) caught COVID when schools had just reopened and has long COVID for three years now. His biggest wish is to lead a normal child's life. Just like more than 40,000 other children—and still counting. www.rtl.nl/nieuws/binne...

WA power cleaner as coal fails and batteries charge in #auspol #wapol www.boilingcold.com.au/wa-power-cle...

Every country that Trump slaps a tariff on should retaliate by slapping a 1000% tariff on all Tesla and Starlink products, if only to show Elon that there is a downside to using our public government as his private playpen.

Under scrutiny, Peter Dutton reveals he has no plan for energy bills for Australian households or businesses. He claims the modelling shows electricity price reductions, but the Frontier analysis says on page 17 “Electricity Prices are not modelled in this project”.

Sex work isn’t dangerous—the stigma, the laws, and the creeps are.

Clearly not a fan of history or has read a book. Thatcher absolutely destroyed the country, and the consequences are still being felt. However, she did help the few struggling millionaires and turned them into billionaires so there is that. #auspol #insiders

Looks like parts of Townsville are going under. "Black zone" declared for 6 suburbs near Ross River: Railway Estate, Hermit Park and Rosslea on the northern bank, and Idalia, Cluden and Oonoonba to the south. Going to be a lot of homeless people. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Starting today, Donold’s idiotic 25% tariff hike on imports from Canada and Mexico (and 10% on China) is set to make life more expensive for every American. Even his own voters are furious over what they voted for. Let’s break down this economic self-own.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

NEW: USAID source says staff are scrambling to save archived copies of US regulations before they're gone & are being actively locked out of systems, including a publicly available database of USAID documents. WIRED has built software to systematically check the status of 1,374 government domains.

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

Colombian President Gustavo Petro's full post ordering an increase of import tariffs on U.S. goods, says he doesn't really like traveling to the U.S. because it's “a bit boring” and invokes the ancestors

Appalling. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

For upcoming Aus Fed Election I'll criticise/lift up politicians, parties, policies, action & inaction. I won't be posting denigration of all supporters of 'xyz'. Plebs infighting, distracting the masses (what many Poli's want), purposeless & petty, no matter how much I may think it...🤔

You can tell Monopoly is an old game. There's a luxury tax and rich people can go to jail.

Given the speed at which even the putative good guys are now cravenly capitulating to Trump and his motley crew of billionaires and bumpkins, the US is in more trouble than first thought. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/b...

How long til Labor reveals that a ban on under-16’s using social media means age verification for all adults in Australia: literally an ‘internet license’

Abandoning Ukraine would jeopardise British, European and American security and lead to “infinitely higher” costs in the long term, the head of MI6 has warned in a speech that amounted to a plea to Donald Trump to continue supporting Kyiv. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

How in the fuck do we live in a country where @senatorwong.bsky.social will suspend another Senator for ripping up a piece of paper but won’t suspend the Israeli Ambassador for representing a country slaughtering tens of thousands of children? #NewsCorpse

Through my activism, I’ve realized it’s organizing, not public protesting, that forces lawmakers to act. So I’m not alarmed that people aren’t in the streets (yet). The most effective resistance isn’t en masse, but underground—and it starts in communities.

#StudyOfTheDay from The Lancet: First study of its kind measuring #Covid shedding with and without face coverings in infected humans in real-world conditions of #mask and #respirator use with no fit testing. Reductions reached as high as 98 percent! #MasksWork, bébés. 😷 #CovidIsNotOver

This is going to piss a lot of men off, but ignore them, too!

The global transition to green energy is inevitable, but Australia has a choice. We can seize the moment to become a green energy superpower, or drag our feet and be left behind. www.smh.com.au/business/the...

🧵2/2 Like Putin, Erdoğan, and Orbán, Netanyahu is trying to silence a critical, independent newspaper. Haaretz will not balk and will not morph into a pamphlet that publishes messages approved by the government and its leader. Subscribe here 🔽🔽🔽 bit.ly/49lXFYJ

I'm going to use some strong language here. Queensland is not backwards, we're an early warning system. Australia, if you don't stop fucking around & concentrate on the nation's issues this Joh descendent is going to be the next PM. Do you understand what that means? #auspol

#BREAKING 🚨 Labor has DUMPED the misinformation bill after it was guaranteed it could not pass the Senate “There is no pathway to legislate…the govt will not proceed with the Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation Bill”, communications minister Michelle Rowland says

Just to be clear. Every time anyone blames anything on the lockdown, they are deluded or dishonest. Blaming the lockdown is denying the seriousness of the virus. The COVID virus, not lockdowns, is to blame for economic, social & health upheavals since 2020 & for ongoing damage

Trumpists got people to stop trusting media. Then they made them stop trusting scientists. They went after legal and judicial systems, federal agencies, military leadership. They undermined trust in economists, education and close allies. Succeeded dismantling the foundations of trust in society.
