Sky host Laura Jayes ends up red faced after saying the LNP backed Labor’s $300 energy bill relief last year Clare “no they didn’t…they opposed it…the fact is they voted against that rebate” “People would have paid higher energy bills last year if Dutton was in power”💥#auspol

32,000 jobs were created last month. That means well over a million jobs have been created under the Albanese Labor Government - a record for a parliamentary term. @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol #ausecon

“It’s a serious concern that one of the candidates vying to be Australia’s prime minister is unwilling to stand up and say climate change is real, is happening and is affecting Australia.” @kellyoshanassy.bsky.social @ausconservation.bsky.social #auspol #ausvotes25 au.news.yahoo.com/worse-howard...

For the menfolk! (Ladies, know your place!) #Auspol Women are literally an afterthought! #Auspol (No, I did not receive a separate letter, nor did our yoof.)

Here in the UK, we had a referendum when hardly anyone wanted one. Now that most people genuinely do want one, to reverse the act of self harm that we were tricked into, we can’t have one, not yet anyway. So when? At what point do we say “enough is enough. We want our country back!”

Dutton was running around yesterday, screeching that “ the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming! “ and howling about “ a catastrophic failure of Australian diplomacy.” It was total bullshit. Worse it was grossly irresponsible.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

A reminder that the problem Australia has in its engagements with the United States is that the Morrison Liberal government of which Dutton was a senior cabinet minister decided to relocate our STRATEGIC OIL RESERVE in that country in 2020. So they literally have us over a barrel. #leadersdebate25

My Fair and Transparent Elections Bill would make this dodgy practice illegal by removing political party exemptions to the Spam Act and the Privacy Act. But the parties blocked it. How can we rebuild trust in politicians when they do this? #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

This week Peter Dutton made it clear he wants to interfere in schools, and tell teachers what to teach and how to teach it. We've seen ideological attacks on the teaching profession before. So where is the Opposition Leader getting his ideas from? #DontRiskDutton #ausvotes #auspol

This 'nutter' nonsense about education is taken directly from Trump's anti-science, anti-education, christian nationalist, white supremacist, MAGA playbook. Why would anyone allow these two zealots to have any influence or control over our schools' curriculum? #auspol #ausvotes #ausvotes25

Just to reassure people, Peter Dutton has as much chance of leading the Liberal coalition to victory as I have of becoming the Pope He's spent the past 3 years grabbing headlines without putting in the work on substance & policies and now it's coming home to bite him A guaranteed failure of a man

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Russia was not doing what is taking place here! And threatening potential visitors as Rubio is actively engaging in. Keep up the false comparisons! I have friends and family who attended Russia WC they’ve already stated they ain’t coming here. Mexico and Canada

these were never popular demands. Abolish ICE was a *correct* demand, but it was never a popular one. It might be in the future!

Annals of headline writing: 'Some say' is an infinitely flexible weasel phrase. (When should you use it? Some say: Never.) Subhead for this WSJ news piece could just as easily have been: "Some say America's oldest university has set an example in standing up to unconstitutional demands."

How about holding truth to your hair color

there is a reason corporate moderates backed the New Deal in the 30s

Straight-up untrue. This is not the law. Due process is guaranteed to all persons, not just citizens.

Bernie Sanders was somehow never able to understand that the low-trust politics he inspires people to take up are a gateway drug to the kind of politics where you think even Bernie Sanders shouldn't be trusted.

Election debates are bad and a useless distraction.

I have bad news about Silicon Valley.

its very funny that Dutton assumed Trump would do like last time and basically go on holidays and post, so hitched his wagon up to the MAGA train. Instead Trump has gone fucken hog wild and exposed the conservative project underbelly to everyone with access to the internet and derailed Dutton.

By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The IRS lists six reasons it can revoke 501(c)(3) status. Not one applies to Harvard: ➡️operation for private benefit/inurement ➡️excess lobbying ➡️electoral activity ➡️excess unrelated business income ➡️fail to file three straight 990 annual returns ➡️no longer being operated for original exempt purposes

The term "man-made horrors beyond comprehension" is probably overused, but this is actually a man-made horror beyond comprehension

Committing to military intervention to de-nazify El Salvador and close CECOT ought to be a litmus test for the 2028 Democratic nominee.

stopping Americans from being sold into slavery a good thing

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

This was never ever about anti-semitism

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is
