Yep. Just like that

Older but very valid post here #auspol, well worth the read.

Okay, who out there in the US is sprinkling glitter on ICE agents & their cars, so they can be recognised later? You rebel, you. 👌✨

So the birthday flop is changing the parades narrative to a celebration of 250 year birthday party for the Army.

Make Australia Safe Again. Exit #AUKUS and close #PineGap #auspol

Solidarity with all Americans hitting the streets for #NoKingsDay. As an Australian, let me tell you: get rid of that king now or you never will.

The @australiainstitute.org.au's @emmashortis.bsky.social has some wise words for the Albanese Labor Govt re #AUKUS. I hope the Govt heeds her advice. #auspol #USPolitics #diplomacy #defence

Both the United States and the United Kingdom are reviewing the AUKUS agreement. In light of this, and the consequential nature of the agreement, it's vital that our Parliament do the same. The crossbench will push to ensure scrutiny is applied. Australians expect nothing less.

The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

Big congrats to all the Bellingen Readers and Writers Fest.! Stellar line up. Superbly organised. Big crowds. If you love your books, get out to the regions. SO many people doing wonderful things all across OZ. You can't beat country hospitality! (And bring home some local produce!) 😍🤩🥰

One of the most privatised education systems in the world - and this would entrench privilege even more. A two-tier system - bloated edifices for the rich and the rest can go to Scrapheap High. Appalling

Trump appears to be engineering a situation in which he could invoke the Insurrection Act. Democracy (feeble and partial as it is) offends his every instinct, and he will do whatever he can to snuff it out.

rowecartoon.bsky.social Load up the rubber bullets .. @FinancialReview #LosAngeles

This is a big healthy quoll, and in Australia’s colonial past they were sometimes called “native cats”. This video shows why.

The Greens are calling for The PM to raise the shooting with rubber bullets of a nine journalist with the US president. Senator Sarah-Hanson Young says there’s no reason why Anthony Albanese can’t pick up the phone today, ahead of a likely G7 meeting next week. #auspol

www.smh.com.au/national/hon... Unlimited thanks to @jennaprice.bsky.social for this brilliant piece expressing what we feel. "Honouring" the dishonourable insults us all...most especially those who directly suffered from the naked racism, greed & cruelty to the most vulnerable of this man's years.

Nike has cancelled fmr AOTY Grace Tame as a brand ambassador because of pro-Palestinian posts?! So, Nike opposes human rights and supports genocide?! Good to know. #IStandWithGrace #BoycottNike #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

The ALP needs to focus on the "powerless" aspect of the LNP. The LNP literally do not matter. Change the fricken country and leave them withering. Stop feeling like you need to ask the LNP's (or media's) permission to change things.

So are the ICE teams just modern day bounty hunters? Are they paid per arrest?

The new McCarthyism alive and growing at Australian universities #wrongsideofhistory: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We could simply say no, we don't pay much attention to failed states run by unhinged felons! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Pure AWESOMENESS…👇 Pass. It. On. 😎✨

So the hex debt 20% drop is calculated on the balance at 1st June, but not applied til the legislation is passed next financial year, meanwhile the govt applies the 3.2% indexation on the same day. How very LNP.

I'm not sure you could script a more explicit violation of the First Amendment

What complete and utter nonsense from the ABC. Do they think we are stupid? We 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 the fucking truth of this matter ... how totally 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘴 they are making themselves. Lying direct to our faces ... all to serve the wishes of the genocidal state of Israel! #auspol #ABCFAIL

Looks like the ABC may have taken this interview off its website. Perhaps we can all re-post this version.

Re: Northern Beaches Hospital debacle. Two awful experiences there with my daughter - once turned out in 40C heat, unwell, no-one arranged to pick her up. The other, no-one to discharge her, so we left, no meds or follow up. Brought to you by Gladys Berejiklian, Brad Hazzard and Co. Appalling.
