"Gas companies treat tax as optional, and they leave the rest of us with the cleanup bill for the natural disasters that they are turbo-charging." - Senator Larissa Waters speaking at our #RevenueSummit25 @larissawaters.bsky.social #auspol

Australia has already handed over $800 million of the estimated $368 billion cost of AUKUS. “If this deal goes ahead…this will amount to the biggest international transfer of sovereign wealth in Australia’s history.” - @ebonybennett.bsky.social on AUKUS at the #RevenueSummit25 #auspol

Australia’s housing policy can be better — because it has been better

"We need to take profit out of childcare." And aged care. And NDIS. And high schools. And 'employment services' [bring back the CES]. And all human services. ...but to do optimize our chances our doing so, we need to take the industry donors and lobbyists out of politics. #auspol

This is the story mainstream media refuses to tell. #ABCAustralia #ausmedia

‘Release more land!’ they say in economic down turns or housing shortages. Why when the land will be purchased by large players anyhow? A report by Prosper Australia found that developers often release land slowly to maintain high prices, even when thousands of lots are already approved. #AusPol

This should be front page news for all Labor ministers. Don't just raise the rate: introduce a form of basic income for everybody. All the research shows that it works. Show some spine and eradicate inequality. #auspol #UBI #UniversalBasicIncome #poverty

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

Remember all that evidence ASIO claimed to have independently investigated? Remember the oh-so quiet bit about 'some' intelligence from other nations? "The Israeli government took credit for Australia's stance, saying it had effectively been shamed into acting on antisemitism...."

THREAD: A veil of secrecy and forgetfulness hangs over a taxpayer-funded mission to the United States earlier this year, involving Special Envoy Jillian Segal and one staffer. The purpose of the trip, which covered less than ten days, have never been made public.

One example of the bias Marr won't admit was Francesca Albanese in the Press Club - the asked hostile questions were told the facts and then ignored them. Which is their MO - and they heard facts from Saul and Sidoti and still babbled Israel talking points the same fucking night

Wait...so the Aus gov will announce diplomatic complaints to China for firing a few warning flares near an Australian spyplane? But when Israel actually abducts Australians in international waters and imprisons them illegally, or when it murders an Australian aid worker...nothing? Okay. #auspol

This whole article is problematic. Ever heard of a truth sandwich. It is a way of building argument to stop the spread of misinformation. This article does the exact opposite. 1/4 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire?? Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

At least 38 Palestinians have been killed as the Israeli army commits 47 violations of ceasefire agreement.

The ceasefire you have when Israel is involved. Where is the International outcry? #disarmisraelnow #fromtherivertothesea

More signs of #warcrimes by the Israeli #Netanyahu regime Time for #TheHague “they had been beaten before being killed. There were also signs that their bodies had been abused after they were killed.” #auspol #UKpol #USpol #ICC #ICJ #Israel #torture #execution Still happy @albomp.bsky.social ?

It's revealing the importance being placed on Hamas returning the bodies of Israeli captives. And yet no one cared about Israel's decades-long refusal to hand back many hundreds of bodies of Palestinians it was holding. Did their families not need a grave to grieve over?

every headline on ABC radio is “what appears to be” happening in “the Gaza Strip”. How could they not know that Israelis invaded the Gaza Strip, and what for? Why not verify facts before “reporting” on “appearances” that suit the Khamas Khamas line that is constantly run by Israelis?

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens. He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions. Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

For $700 billion we can maybe buy a few submarines we won't be able to use without permission from the USA or we could fund CSIRO for 700 years. #auspol #@albomp

#ABC Middle East correspondent Matt Doran says Israel has been throwing tear gas at crowds gathering to greet freed Palestinian hostages in Gaza & demanded “they weren't to congregate, they weren't to celebrate the moment those Palestinians were released from Israeli jails”

I give it a month before it’s hacked, randsom’d, then quietly shelved. I’ve worked as a developer on age-verification sites and with total certainty: this CAN’T work. It cannot be done a) safely b) reliably without a huge huge team of humans involved, and that cannot be done fast. Simple. #auspol

@abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social just shamelessly double-standarding with Israeli 'hostages' and Palestinian 'prisoners'.

So - let me get this straight… They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work What? #4corners #auspol

'There are more than 11,000 Palestinians in Israeli detention, according to data provided by the Israel Prison Service, 87 per cent of whom have never been charged or convicted.' Sounds legit. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Completely unacceptable response. Not only seemingly unprepared for the question (which beggars belief) but also...arms length? From whom? Isn't the NACC the body investigating??
