“…The women of this world are not some social experiment for [parole authorities] to see if he’s reformed.” #auspol why is it so hard for our society to address #domesticviolence ? www.smh.com.au/national/why...

It's the Tony Abbott play from Andrew Hastie. To the Coalition climate change is still a political wedge. First to be used internally & then to take power. Threaten to throw it all away, agitate from the backbench & make a grab for leadership. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

@droweafr.bsky.social absolutely nails the LNP working hard to spread climate disinformation through solid incompetence and self-interest. #auspol

My, my, my. How the tone has changed.

Imagine if there were some kind of sanction for our parliamentarians for racism. They could make a claim that one particular ethnic group were all rapists and criminals and should be kicked out, and we’d spend weeks listening to apologists saying that’s not *really* racist. #insiders

This directly affects the Australian media landscape as well. 😞

Billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk owns X. Billionaire Trump ally Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post. With this acquisition, both CNN and CBS News would be owned by billionaire Trump donor Larry Ellison. Oligarchs’ monopoly over our media is spiraling out of control.

Saw someone note that if Tyler Robinson had killed anyone else on the Utah campus (even if it had been multiple people) Kirk and his supporters would not have given one damn about them. We know this because not one of them gives a damn about the school shooting that happened the same day.

“A review of government sales by Guardian Australia found that most of the vacant land being sold by the Minns government is going to private sector developers, with no firm requirements for social or affordable housing as part of the terms of sale.” #auspol 😡 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Full disclosure, I’ve never had anything but bad experiences with Airbnb, finding out the co-founder is a bigot and conspiracy theorist puts paid to any further thoughts of engaging in their services. #austravel #airbnb www.huffpost.com/entry/airbnb...

That’s exactly what this feels like!

But the fact is that the leadership of the Melbourne rally was provided by the National Socialist Network, a neo-Nazi organisation…🤮needs to be called out. Their rhetoric is reprehensible!!! #auspol theconversation.com/neo-nazis-an...

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Mainstreaming substandard, pathetic ideologies of frightened little people. I feel so safe and protected by the amazing allies we have in the current US administration. 😑 #auspol www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

The SA Energy Minister is worried that 'demonising' gas could lead to shortages and affect manufacturing. 🤔Doesn't make much sense when ❌ 80% of Australia's gas is exported ❌ More gas is used JUST to run the export terminals than by our ENTIRE manufacturing industry #auspol

there is no charge to the client provided, as I noted, the services are within the plan budget. If the client is on Level 2 but spends Level 3 type $$ then yes, that is a problem.

This is about the 100th article I've seen on the need for a robust public conversation about "the future of our foreign policy and alliance with the US". That the Albanese govt is avoiding it should make us very worried. And confirms its urgency. #AUKUS #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08...

Disasters like the algal bloom in SA are becoming more and more frequent due to climate change. Australia Institute research shows a climate disaster fund, paid for by big polluters, would save taxpayers tens of billions of dollars a year. #auspol

Inre March for (White) Australia, it's kinda funny that NSN lvl boss Tom Sewell was born in NZ & brung up on the mean streets of Balwyn, while Hugo 'Auspill' Lennon is the scion of property developers who calls Toorak home. www.news.com.au/national/vic...

This person has no idea how many people have died, or will die, as a result of shattering our entire global infrastructure for providing lifesaving assistance. He did no analysis of those impacts before the reckless and illegal obliteration of USAID. These statements are made-up assertions.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

OMFG. AFR says Hamas denies co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef praised Albanese - because he’s been in prison for 2 years. Hey AFR - maybe wander over to your SMH colleagues and ask why / how they quoted Yousef from prison, because that is now the fucking story. Link below /1

In the US, they want to take away same-sex marriage rights for consenting adults, and they want to lower the age of consent for young girls to marry adult men. Please don't tell me Australia has "shared values" with the United States. That's a terrifying thing to say. #auspol #USPolitics #marriage

I live around men with huge arsenals they collected to fight tyranny. Turns out “tyranny” is being asked wear a mask or kids having access to books or women having access to healthcare or gay folks getting married…

The movie show was a truly transformative experience for me. It opened my eyes to diverse and wonderful worlds, and for that, I will always be grateful. It touched my heart and expanded my horizons in ways I never expected. Vale.

The Financial Review has reported that the Mormon church has purchased almost half a billion dollars’ worth of Australian farmland in about six months, raising fears that the Mormons could change the face of Australian agriculture. www.afr.com/companies/ag... #auspol
