David McBride exposed war crimes. He got 6 years. The alleged war criminals got medals. And the court spent less than 3 minutes deciding his fate. Justice in Australia was absent. #auspol

Re COP31

It is Australia’s fossil fuel decisions, not its renewables ambitions, that may shape how the country’s climate leadership is viewed internationally in the coming weeks. #auspol #COP31

For governments which boast of their friendship with Israel, the mass starvation and forcible displacement of two million people — which cannot be rationalised as part of a conflict with Hamas — may prove to be a bridge too far. #auspol #Gaza

Peter Harcher says “The climate wars are over. And the Coalition lost.” If thats the case then the fossil fuel industry won Labor just approved a 45 year extension of Woodside. Not 5, or 10…45 The only transition in Australia is the transition towards expanded fossil fuel production

SMSFs became tax havens for millionaires. 83% of super concessions go to the top 50%, with 43% of that to the top 10%. It’s not retirement security, it’s a gold-plated tax loophole. And also local councils Tax ‘unrealised gains’ on every home in Australia. #auspol

Tony Abbot is the biggest political loser, one of the most hated politicians and a failed Prime Minister, rejected by his own party and electorate. And yet he has his stinky onion claws around the neck of the party slowly squeezing it to death. #auspol

Albo claims the NWS gas extension is needed to “firm the grid”, but WA exports 90% of its gas. Yet just 2.5% of that export total would cover the WA coal transition. It’s not energy security, it’s energy industry spin for profits. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social #TaxTheGas

Deliberate starvation is not the same as natural famine. "Dozens die" needs to be "entire families of civilians murdered." "Inhospitable" was always "deliberately destroyed." "War" was always "one-sided mass extermination." "Controversial" never to be applied to "ethnic cleansing and genocide."

"Thanks to the sacrifices of my brave colleagues in Gaza, no one with an internet connection can say they don’t know the truth of what has happened in Israel and Palestine over the past 18 months." Bethan does what too few western journalists do: acknowledge the work and courage of Gazan reporters.

Sarah Hanson-Young fires back at Sarah Ferguson’s question on “where would the energy supply come from” if NWS wasn’t extended “This is not about supply. This is all about profits. In this case the profits of a big co like Woodside at the expense of everybody else’s safety”💥 #abc730

Not buyers remorse.... Voters were strategic in ensuring it was not Dutton! Next time, it will be rebalancing the @albomp.bsky.social team. FFS do the right thing.... STOP these decades-long, climate & environment destroying decisions. #auspol

The NACC is under fire following revelations it failed to comply with its own legislation after a complaint about a Commissioner was “wrongly dismissed” & not “immediately passed to the NACC Inspector as required by law” NACC has “apologised” & hopes every1 can quietly move on😒

Congratulations PM. It usually takes about six months after the election for me to become completely disillusioned with the government. With caving into the gas lobby you have set a new benchmark. Barry Lizmore, Ocean Grove @theage letters

The super tax debate is divorced from reality & more proof that Australia’s tax system is built for the rich – @grogsgamut.bsky.social "Unhinged criticisms to changes in super make more sense when you realise that our tax debate is geared to ensure rich people & companies get richer" #auspol

Sky News is Angry but these are worthy demotions. Jane Hume did not bother to consult her colleagues before announcing her disastrous WFH Ban policy. Sarah Henderson flagged changes to school curriculum, then hid under a rock for the entire campaign to avoid answering questions.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission broke its own rules by failing to refer a complaint about a commissioner. This is the latest incident to damage public trust. We need to restore that trust. Starting with lowering the threshold for public hearings www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

the 'future gas strategy' and the way it was so quickly forgotten really comes to mind. Labor have been explicitly, loudly and unambiguously declaring that they want to expand fossil fuel supply as fast as possible. This speech, literally yesterday!! www.minister.industry.gov.au/ministers/ki...

Talking about the 'power' of the Australian gas lobby gives the industry far too much credit. The real credit should go to our government and senior public servants for their spinelessness and willingness to put self interest before anything else. #auspol #climate @australiainstitute.org.au
