I see @zoedaniel.bsky.social has finally conceded defeat in Goldstein but she will recontest at the next election - it is candidates and politicians like her that makes us better people and a better country.

How the fuck do we live in a country where Malcolm Turnbull’s Liberal-NATIONAL Party completely fucked up the NBN yet now that very same National Party are whining about a lack of internet connectivity in the bush? #NewsCorpse

The day author Ren Wyld was due to receive the Black & Write $15k Indigenous fellowship she was told it had been rescinded. A journo from the Oz seemed to know before she did. Appalling to see QLD govt cave to Murdoch press to punish a First Nations writer for speaking out in support of Palestine.

The costs. Destroys our historic art. Will release over 4 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Sells 90% of its gas overseas, driving up local power prices. Locks Aust into a destructive agreement for the next 50 years. #auspol nb.australiainstitute.org.au/save_the_roc...

How absurd are complaints against the super changes? Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000. So they earned $250,000 in a year. Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability. How much? $2,884. That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.

The Nakba resulted in the displacement of approximately 750,000 Palestinians, many of whom sought refuge in neighbouring countries or within Palestine itself. The cultural and historical loss was profound, with many villages destroyed and erased from memory tinyurl.com/4nn4wd28

‘The intergenerational inequity involved in the largesse handed out by John Howard and Peter Costello to older Australians, on the back of the country's biggest ever resources boom, has only really started to become clear in the past few years’ #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Price, Hastie, O’Brien (so far) all identified their aim to fight their enemy - the Labor Party. It’s not about us or their constituents - it’s about ‘their enemy’. This brutal political tribalism is the opposite of what we need or want #auspol

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Fascinated to see who the Libs choose as next leader. Will it be the woman who added an extra letter to her name for numerology reasons, the man who once described Europe as a ‘country’, or the man who proposed taxing a black market product. They really are spoilt for choice
