At this coming Australian Federal election, could we please vote in the interests of the vulnerable rather than the powerful? (This includes the planet and vulnerable species.) Please. 🙏 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #CostOfLivingCrisis #poverty #HousingCrisis #DV #VAW #WelcomeRefugees #ClimateAction

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Do they want to win the election? Oh wait, Dutton still has a few more marginalised groups to beat up on. Next they will take away support for Ukraine. Anything for power, no saving the world.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world. It's obvious to all of us.

Peter Dutton is a wealthy property owner whose goals are helping the wealthy (incl. his obscenely wealthy fossil fuels industry billionaire mates) at the expense of ordinary workers and their hard-won working conditions. Every Australian worker should #PutTheLibsLast. #auspol #AusVotes2025

For Peter Dutton, the public service is a 'magic pudding' to be cynically raided at election time, rather than an essential support system that millions of Australian veterans, pensioners, families and students rely on every day. #election2025 #auspol

Australia take note. Dutton’s culture war is a distraction from his racism. His playbook follows Trumps. We know what we will be getting g if we vote for him.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

It’s an election, I need to say something so I appear like I am human…. To Sky News. 😳 Peter Dutton opens up about divorce, broken engagement Nice try but with all the awful, racist, misogynistic stuff you spew, it got lost in translation. #auspol

Jillian Segal, the AUS Govt's Special Envoy on Anti-Semitism, said she thought Trump's idea of removing Palestinians from Gaza has merit. Is she supporting land theft & ethnic cleansing?! Imagine the anti-Islamophobia Envoy had said removing Jews was a good idea. #auspol #USPolitics #FreePalestine

All in plain sight. Please share this image with your friends, family, colleagues - in your messaging groups, on your FB! There's nothing we can do about the US, but there's a lot we can do to make sure it doesn't happen to us - especially in an election year. Time to step up! #auspol

I don’t think Dutton cares about Jewish people, he just loves having a way to say he dislikes brown/Muslim people, without directly saying it & appealing to his base’s, fears, bigotry, donations & votes. #Auspol

This appalling rhetoric that the Greens, a very middle-of-the-road progressive party, are extremists equivalent to white supremacists is grossly insulting, of course, but it’s actually far worse. What it’s doing is deliberately normalising right wing extremism. It has to be stopped.

Australia has got inflation down, wages up, kept unemployment low and created 1.1 million jobs. Australians would be thousands of dollars worse off if Peter Dutton had his way on tax cuts, wages and energy bill relief – and worse off still if he wins the election. #auspol #ausecon

Mars IS uninhabited, Australia wasn’t, Sussan. It’s NOT an off-the-cuff remark. It’s NOT just poor judgement. It’s NOT just equivocating an uninhabited planet with an already-habited continent. It ALSO lionises Musk in the wake “the salute”. Way to dog-whistle, Sussan!
