Ok ALP seriously no excuses now.

Yep.

"Food and hunger are being weaponised in Gaza,” UNRWA Philippe Lazzarini tells @metro.co.uk. The continued Israeli siege is blocking lifesaving supplies from entering #Gaza. Full story: metro.co.uk/2025/05/13/top-un-general-warns-hunger-used-as-weapon-of-war-to-starve-palestinians-23077347/

Tanya Plibersek is basically the government's human shield for the inconvenient bits.

My take on last night’s extraordinary result www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

I think a lot of Liberals will be working from home

In the dark of night, gutless, repugnant scum deface a memorial to murdered Australian women, graffitiing ‘War on men’ @sherelemoody.bsky.social puts out the call & 15hrs later, dozens turn up in the light of day to repair it & faith in humanity (see video in post 2/ in thread)… 1/2

🎵 It’s just a Trump to the left And then a lurch to the righ…righ..righ…right Put in a few backflips… And bring your costings in tigh..igh..ight But it’s the family trust That really drives you insa..a..a..a..ane Let’s do the Backtrack again.. Let’s do the Backtrack again 🎵

“The Coalition’s costings, released yesterday, reveal if elected they will cut $556 million in ‘Commonwealth Prac Payments’ – stripping away cost-of-living support for those studying to become teachers, nurses, midwives and social workers over the next four years.” theaimn.net/duttons-11th...

Bring out the violins & unicorns ‘Kirilly Dutton: Peter is ‘attuned’ to the views & values of ‘everyday’ Australians Kirilly also frames him as a “listener” If Dutton were “attuned & listening” to ALL of us- he would NOT resort to foghorning culture wars, racism & division for political advantage

Are we having an election night thread? Obviously there'll be lots of them, but I'm happy to host one too like we did on twitter last time Should we use the #BinNight hashie? People have said in a previous post (when I asked) they think it works well as a bat signal #AusVotes2025

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...

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has shed his tough exterior to reveal a softer, creamier side

thepolitics.com.au/life-and-dea... I got an unexpected crash course in a medical emergency the day before Good Friday. Here’s what I learned.

"They say trust is earned and my family has earned a lot of money, so I'm clearly worthy of my trusts" said Dutton. Read more: chaser.com.au/national/dut...

A sickening video targeting a crossbench woman shows just how low politics has sunk. Abuse, lies and now a metaphor for violence—while women die each week from gender-based violence. Silence from male leaders is not good enough. The women of the crossbench won’t be cowed.

Senator Linda Reynolds delivering her retirement speech last night in federal parliament, and her throngs of fans hanging on her every word

The founder of Climate 200, one of the most significant movements in Australian politics for a generation, Simon Holmes a Court, will be speaking tomorrow at the National Press Club in Canberra. Simon is an erudite and fascinating speaker so if you can, tune in or get along to the NPC for this one.

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Phrases I'd like news reports to use: • "unprovoked Russian invasion" • "Gaza genocide" Instead we get: • "Ukraine's war with Russia" (Russia is the aggressor, not Ukraine!) • "the war in Gaza" (Israel is murdering civilians!) Disgusted by mainstream news media. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

I remember researching, in a politics course in in my arts/law degree in the late 1970s, Australia's relationship with the US, specifically looking at Pine Gap, the US signals intelligence surveillance base near Alice Springs, and North West Cape near Exmouth in WA. #auspol 🧵 1/n
