Unbelievable.

Commentary is incorrect about the LNP. They do not need to figure out how to win women, young and city voters. They need to figure out who they are and then ask if who they are is even relevant in today’s world. #auspol #BinNight

🙄🙄🙄

Congratulations to @albomp.bsky.social and his party on their victory in the Australian federal election. Europeans and Australians are not just friends – we’re mates.

Anthony Albanese could have also thanked Malcolm Turnbull, who said a few doosie home truths along the way. Where was John Howard, anyway? They usually wheel him out. #auspol

Can we just spare a thought, too, for the official end of News Corp as a political force. No one outside an aging political class pays any attention to them.

People remember Dutton joking about pacific islands going under with climate change. #goodbye

Meanwhile, in Canada…

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

😳😱🤩

Voters deserve better than spam texts and misinformation. I've long called for truth in political advertising laws and a ban on unsolicited political messages. It's time our electoral laws caught up with community expectations. #IntegrityInPolitics #AusPol #VoterProtections

One of the best 3 minutes of your life will be spent watching this. It's powerful stuff Atlas Network - the subversive people manipulating and controlling public debate and holding Australia back from its full potential. #AusVotes2025 Credit: Regenerators Full vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecqD...

Our cover this week.

Dr Assal Rad— "A man in the West Bank had a heart attack after Israeli settlers set his house on fire and soldiers attacked him. He died and no settlers were arrested. "The daily terror Palestinians endure under Israeli occupation are the stories Western media doesn’t bother telling you about."

We’re in a cost-of-living crisis, yet Australians lose $31.5B a year to gambling. The Murphy Inquiry was clear: ban gambling ads. Nearly two years on—still no action. It’s time to put communities before gambling profits. #GamblingReform #BanGamblingAds #AusPol

“I’m not vouching for the man, but for his constitutional rights.” —Senator Van Hollen

Went to heaven. Took photos. Enjoying amateur photography. ❤️ #nature #photography #beach

Never let Tim Wilson forget. We know he was shortlisted with #AtlasNetwork’s IPA for the Network’s biggest international prize for wrecking the carbon price. That mechanism was working to reduce emissions. Don’t put Atlas operators in parliament. theaimn.net/tim-wilson-s... #Goldstein #auspol

The ATO's latest tax transparency report shows Amazon generated $6.6 billion in income in Australia in 2022-23, but paid just $129 million in income tax - only 1.9%. If we taxed foreign corporate giants and billionaires properly, we could do so much more for our people. #auspol

FALSE. The fastest growing homeless group ISN’T women aged 50+. It’s women in their prime working ages (35-44) and children. Sadly, census data offers the most comprehensive measure of homelessness and the latest data is from 2021. Australia’s homelessness crisis is undercutting the future of us.

Isn’t it weird that being a conservative today means the only thing you don’t want to conserve is the planet. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

One lesson from Fukushima is that REALLY BAD THINGS HAPPEN if you’ve got no water to keep the reactor cool. Peter Dutton simply hasn’t done his homework. Unready for nuclear. Unready for government. #auspol

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Why don't we have enough women in politics? #AusVotes25

Trump Tariffs hit Australia's Heard Island & McDonald Islands but no humans have visited for 10yrs. Occupied mostly by species of penguins, seals & Antarctic birds. Despite having no people the territory does have an internet country code of .hm. #ausvotes www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Agree.

People are taking things into their own hands

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?
