@theguardian.com must be struggling for content. If I needed guidance on relationships, I sure as shit would not be asking Musk and Trump. I can now add Dave Schilling to that list. "Relationships are so harrrd. They require more than sitting on my arse. And I don't like people." #ShitOpinions

It’s not ‘uneconomic’ to build houses in Australia. Builders & developers are doing very nicely. High income earners are spending a fortune on extensions & holiday homes What’s ‘uneconomic’ is thinking builders will ever build small houses for the poor instead of big ones for the rich

Everything about the stadium is disastrous. It is totally unnecessary, will barely be used, will bankrupt the state and ruin heritage sites - it must be ditched. Tell the AFL to go fuck themselves. No other state had to do what they’re insisting TAS do.

“It was our hope spot”: Vast coral bleaching and now coral death has swept across Western Australia’s coral reefs - many, like the remote Rowley Shoals, were pristine spots. Government scientsts are seriously shaken by what they have seen. From me. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Labor accused of ‘gaslighting’ Australians on climate crisis as fossil fuel projects keep getting approved ‘They offer sympathy and then just go and approve massive fossil fuel projects anyway,’ one advocate says www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We need a public inquiry to expose the influence of the Zionist Lobby and particularly its intimidation of journalists. The IDF has murdered over 300 Palestinian journalists but our media owners don't care. JM #Auspol

It's anti-Semitic to say I shouldn't unload machine guns at starving people in cages. It's anti-Semitic to suggest these camps, filled with death, are Death Camps. And it's certainly anti-Semitic to say I shouldn't missile Greta Thunberg and a boat full of medicine. Get the special envoy on the case

Seems our neighbours also don't appreciate being fucked over in the interests of multinational corporate profits. "We cannot, with a clear conscience, condone an action which knowingly endangers the future of our people and indeed that of humanity." #ClimateCrisis #AlboTheLiar

Good news everyone.

Formally declared by AEC at 9 am… hits the ground running by mid-morning. Well done @nicboele.bsky.social, new Indy Member for Bradfield! #climate #auspol #investment www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Australia: More people taking sick leave as Australia braces for ‘nasty’ flu season and new Covid strain "Telehealth sick note provider Sicky reported a 108% year-on-year increase in flu-related sick leave requests in March and April, and a 24% rise in COVID-related sick leave requests."

Looks like Pacific Elders are pissed with #AlboTheLiar "As a member of the Forum, Australia’s actions are in sharp contradiction to its platitudes around caring for the Pacific ‘family.’ The...project is a demonstration of Australia’s glaring disconnect between rhetoric and action." #ClimateCrisis

In an angry statement, Pacific Elders warn Australia that approving more fossil fuel projects “compromises the security of our Pacific communities and grossly undermines the spirit of partnership and trust in our Pacific family.” pacificelders.org/statement/au...

So sad. And yes the changes to super do defy everything the LNP believe in, which is ensuring wealthy people get wealthier at the taxpayers expense

THREAD: 1. The legal profession’s rehabilitation of the reputation of former High Court Justice, Dyson Heydon continues. At a conference of the Samuel Griffiths Society in August, Mr Heydon is on the speakers’ list, along with former Commonwealth Attorney-General, Christian Porter. #Auspol #Law

What's really at stake when one man capriciously decides to blow up global trade with tariffs? Other world leaders must work together to ring fence America and maintain global trade and economies Because very few nations can truly survive on their own www.sciencealert.com/just-one-nat...

The time has come to declare the US-Israeli GHF outfit (whose purpose is to use food-based blackmail to lure Palestinians to their death/ethnic cleansing) a criminal organisation. The time has come for a total embargo on Israel. This time is NOW! www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

How the fuck is this cunt allowed out on bail? #InjusticeSystem

Three months have passed since the NACC promised an “impartial & fair investigation” into Robodebt. Nothing has been heard since. @FahyMichelle & @LizMinter #auspol michaelwest.com.au/deafening-si...

"How valuable is that gas off the coast of WA? To Woodside’s foreign partners – BP, Shell & Chevron – hugely so. To us, not so much. The foreign companies pay a fraction of their earnings in royalties. They pay as little as possible in company tax & next to nothing in PRRT. @rossgittins.bsky.social

Come and get it #auspol25 #USPolitics #UKPolitics x.com/hashtag/ausp...

The best thing the Labor government can do to look after Australians is to #RaiseTheRate of #JobSeeker. That they think any JobSeeker can celebrate poverty, destitution, entrenching disadvantage, exploitative work and abuse as good is delusional. No. I am not a happy Aussie at all. #auspol

I'm surprised and disappointed that this is yet to be reported by @australia.theguardian.com or @crikey.com.au or any other outlet. I've singled out these two for their previous quality coverage of Robodebt and other scandals in the welfare system. This single decision may prove just as significant.

This is abuser-level gaslighting from the Albanese government

Can you see the elephant in the room? Another news article on the escalating cost of climate change - including an extra-tropical cyclone fueled by rising sea temperatures. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
