Last Week in Collapse: June 15-21, 2025 Some interesting info in here.

The poisonous whisperings of a man who came to Australia, got free education, enjoyed all the benefits of being an Australian but ended up betraying this country - still pedalling his ideology, poison, still undermining us all and has the temerity to talk about "Australian values"

i’m watching a video on a literal experiment to test keynes vs friedman and it is wild (also seems quite positive in implications for UBI and direct aid in general!!!)

President Trump's financial disclosure shows more than $630 million in income from 2024 including tens of millions from cryptocurrency and Trump-branded products touted on the campaign trail.

This is a message we all need to hear. 💪

Whoa!

The Supreme Court ruled that states can block Medicaid patients from receiving healthcare at Planned Parenthood.

“I don’t know of any country that is killing children as quickly, and for as long a period, as Israel is killing children in Gaza.”

In this week’s new #TheWeeklyShow episode, Jon & Maziar Bahari discuss ⬇️: >> Iranian POV >> Corruption, Persecution, Masturbation >> Trump’s Fragility >> Presidential Merch NEW YouTube video out now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vS8...

aje.io/puctn1 “It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others ,It’s unworthy and shameful for for the leaders of nations”. Pope Leo #Auspol @albomp.bsky.social aje.io/puctn1

Hadad asked that the hearing of #Netanyahu's criminal trial, which has been taking place twice a week in the Tel Aviv District Court, be suspended for two weeks. Netanyahu continues wars and child killing in Gaza to avoid prosecution #auspol #USpol #UKpol

“It’s best to concede the truth, the Left [within the Labor Party] doesn’t exist for public policy purposes, it exists for allocating seats and getting representation."

Trump gave Iran permission to fire missiles at U.S. troops at our base in Qatar. You’ll recall the last time this happened and our troops suffered TBI, Trump downplayed the serious injuries as “headaches.” www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ju...

Big Oil has known for over 50 years that burning fossil fuels would cause "globally catastrophic harms." Those are their own words. And yet they kept burning. Listen to David Arkush testify in front of Senate Judiciary on Big Oil's complicity in the climate crisis:

"people who are concerned about societal collapse think it'll come suddenly.. it's already happening" 'reading about it isn't for everyone' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Dear @albomp.bsky.social cc @senatorwong.bsky.social The fact your Albanese Labor Govt refuses to say or do anything to stop Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza makes me deeply ashamed. Now you openly support the USA's illegal bombing of Iran?! Disgusted #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide #Iran

SEND IN THE CLOWNS The only thing Trump's accomplished over the past week is teach Iran how deep they need to bury their nuclear facilities. It could be they've just learned they're already deep enough.

The national security folly of #AUKUS starts to emerge. Despite increasing geopolitical instability, our current defence capability is being cut to pay for a future sub capability that will never arrive - an ’all eggs in one imaginary basket’ solution for our defence. 🤦‍♂️ #auspol

#auspol #Aukus @greens.org.au Richard Marles is about to go running to Donald Trump with $500m of taxpayer money in his hand to help them build subs, after the first $800m he handed over already. We’ll get nothing for this money, we know that. I call on the new parliament to stop this madness

Smotrich just threatened to walk away from his alliance with Netanyahu unless all aid is halted to Northern Gaza. So Netanyahu just stopped all aid to Northern Gaza 377,000 have disappeared from Gaza so far, what next, one million? #auspol thecradle.co/articles/net...

Lobbying is is holding gambling reform hostage. Young Australians deserve to grow up without being groomed by an industry that profits from their addiction, and they deserve a government that puts their wellbeing ahead of corporate interests. @Mon4Kooyong #auspol #gambl ...

Oh no! How did this leak? Shhh don’t tell anyone

Not mad enough? Actually the number is probably higher - There were 24,350 millionaires, But only 24,211 paid net tax... So that leaves a gap of....139

Citizen science protects little penguins from Otway seismic blasts share.google/ijftCOMszoW7... C'mon Bluesky community, get behind this, it's important. Little 🐧 are declining.

Jasmine Crockett with the real talk!

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

Oooh oooh! I know which ones they mean!

This was always going to be the case, and I wonder what the Army and Air Force are thinking about it.

91 millionaires paid no tax in 2022-23.

There is still no baby formula allowed into Gaza. Israel is not only bombing and shooting a starving, exhausted civilian population, it’s banned baby formula. Babies under 6 months can only have breastmilk or formula. Their mothers are starving and have no milk. Milk. Must. Enter.

"We still see Australian mainstream media asking, 'What can we give him?' What can we give Donald Trump to make sure that he still sticks by the AUKUS deal?'" @emmashortis.bsky.social #auspol

The court needs to convene today, so Netanyahu can't do more war crimes to avoid his accountability and responsibility Is Trump living in a virtual reality? Then thruthing from there? This is so divorced from reality

‘Climate change is causing rising sea levels and more frequent and intense storms, which are exacerbating coastal hazards such as inundation and erosion’ #ClimateCrisis The shape of things to come👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New: Labor is undermining international law and Australia's interests by backing US strikes on Iran, according to @davidshoebridge.bsky.social and @emmashortis.bsky.social of @australiainstitute.org.au www.deepcutnews.com/p/australias...

Court made it clear Lattouf was fired because the ABC caved to pressure from email-mobs of genocidal Zionists with a victim complex. Is this also why the ABC refuses to mention "genocide" and keeps talking about "Israel's right to defend" itself as death tolls reach 377,000?

There was a column in the SMH about how a couple with $8m in combined super wanted to avoid paying tax. The columnist pointed out if one super balance went from $3.0m to $3.4m the liability for the new super tax would be.... $7,056. Yep on $400,000 earnings www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

"Keeping everyone guessing, lurching from charm to menaces, swapping & dropping favourites on a whim – coercive control, generating disorientation & vulnerability. People must hang on the leader’s every word, looking for cues, awaiting instruction. Individual agency is lost, dependency is induced."

"The Albanese government's support for the illegal bombing of Iran was a choice between US President Donald Trump and international law. They chose Trump, and shockingly did so for no other reason than the hope it would mean Aukus goes ahead," says David Shoebridge

OBSCENE I have no other words

"since World War II, Australia’s default position has been to prostrate itself in front of America, a position the political and media class have largely accepted as “sensible” and “strong”." I'd suggest that Albo and Penny are holding the lube, although I'm pretty sure it's not helping much.

The Axis of Evil, 2025

Me and the lads out doing war crimes.

Don't mind, me, I'm just getting the trumbils ready

This is extraordinarily corrupt. But I still think he’s far more malevolent and sociopathic than merely corrupt.

So @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social has won her case against the ABC. Now, how about ABC managers sit in court again, preferably in The Hague, for genocide apologia and warmongering? Israel/US has killed half a million ppl in Gaza, and the state broadcaster has excused it every step
