The difference between Labor & Liberal/ Nationals.

I find it interesting that the media in QLD have swapped out their “youth crime” mantra to the generic reporting of “home invasions”, “robberies” & “assaults” “Youth crime” has mysteriously disappeared off the media radar since the QLD election. It’s either a fkn miracle or it was a fkn lie.

I’d actually forgotten this. Suspect others may have too. Can as many people as possible please share this so we never forget?

......and a record percent of Australian voters won't hear about it.

This morning on ABC RN Breakfast, Sally Sara's first qn to Treasurer @jimchalmers.bsky.social was this: "Will this rate cut get Labor over the line at the election?" srsly. Yet Sara failed to even mention THIS 👇 fun fact. #auspol #ausecon #AusVotes2025

Get this shared please

Dear ABC Mgmt, People read, watch & listen to ABC News bc they want intelligent, informed, nuanced reporting, interviews, commentary & analysis of world events, politics, news. Rptedly platforming & pushing the tabloid news media's narrative on a story is insulting to your audience. 😔 #journalism

AUS mainstream news media: If a lesbian couple feel unsafe bc of the actions of a male cabbie or a white policeman ignoring their complaint, the reporting will focus on criticising the words of the non-white member of the couple, rather than on the fact the women felt unsafe. #sexism #racism 😔

🚤 Community Independents: A Lifeline for Democracy 🗳️ While the majors sink, we’re building a fleet to keep democracy afloat. Independence works. ✅ People-powered, not party-controlled
 ✅ Focused on integrity & real solutions
 ✅ Politics that listens, acts & delivers #Independenceworks #AusPol

According to the Bureau of Statistics, electricity prices fell 17.9% in the year to December 2024 and 21.5% annual fall to November. So where did The Thug get his figure from?

More than a little ironic that the “Coalition warns” about this - the Coalition is in this up to its neck in the paid, targeted use it makes of social media to stir up culture wars and misinformation.

Every time Trump or an acolyte blames ‘diversity’ for something, he’s being racist/homophobic/transphobic/xenophobic…the list goes on. Call it what it is

🤔 Let's reflect: Peter Dutton was part of the LNP for nine years. If the issues he now claims are urgent were truly pressing, why weren’t they addressed then? Blaming the current Labor government for longstanding problems is misleading. Don't be swayed by the rhetoric! #Accountability #TruthMatters

Anne Aly fights off PK’s ‘Peter Dutton Says’ arguments reminding her he even tried to give Australians a “right to be a Bigot” PK “He would argue that he’s a staunch defender of the Jewish Community!” AA “& he’s a staunch demoniser of other communities”🔥🔥 #AfternoonBriefing youtu.be/g6kdhvasZvg?...

Who is leaking highly sensitive security information - during a live investigation - to the media? Why is no one asking this question? This is making all of us less safe #auspol

Still getting my head around this garbage from Dutton. The sort of puerile crap you'd expect from brainless trolls here & more pathetic apeing of Trumpism. Enough of the Teals are former Liberals FFS! And wanting to preserve the environment isn't extreme, nor communist. Pathetic.

Google said it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" and change Denali to "Mount McKinley." And I will be changing the name of Chrome to "Duck Duck Go."

What happens when he runs out of other people’s ideas…?

Murodch media and Coalition "Grace Tame should smile more".................................................................Grace Tame today #auspol

I'm a little confused about this years Australia Day War - is it tomorrow or on the Public Holiday on Monday. 😀 #AusPol

So, the people who've been putting Bibles in classrooms, the Ten Commandments in courthouses, and legislating away women's rights to their bodies are suddenly worried about the mixing of politics and religion, huh?

Watch out ladies, the DEI culture war is heading for our shores

We need to make hate speech from our politicians into an instant exit pass again. Paying them to divide us is not a good investment. Make Arseholes Go Again.

Some people have the knack of being dismal failures early on in their careers only to be subsequently promoted to even higher positions where they achieve simply heroic levels of under performance. Think Health, Home Affairs and Defence. …Behold Peter Dutton johnmenadue.com/the-track-re...

Almost zero tolerance. My @smh @theage cartoon.

This good news was buried deeply on the ABC News site. Share it around. #AusPol

As a small biz owner myself, doing it tough, lunches are not a core (or any) current cost, so this provides zero relief. Tax deductible lunches is just another LNP bullshit 'announcement' of a future possible bullshit policy, all smoke and not even any mirrors, 100% bullshit hot air. #Auspol

For all the goldfish

The Liberal candidate for Goldstein claims he’d return $100m to local councils - but fails to mention it was for unwanted car parks from a scheme slammed by the Auditor-General as pork-barrelling. Same old politics, no lessons learned on integrity or respect for taxpayers. Goldstein deserves better.

Today the Coalition made clear if elected they would sack public sector workers, cut their pay & return to funnelling our money to the big consultants. We lose jobs, pay, expertise, services & money spent in local communities. Good for consultants profits, bad for the country

My analysis on today's NBN announcement www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

If you think cutting public servants is the way to go - ask a veteran how long it took for their claims to be done under Morrison.

Fact-check on Dutton’s claim that the Albanese government has a renewables-only strategy. Had Dutton bothered to read the govt’s Future Gas Strategy - he wouldn't have misled people. #auspol #AusVotes25. (Screenshot from the Guardian.)

The implication in this heading from the Propaganda Unit in Block 4 is that a thug should be that strong leader We need leaders who put voters at the heart of policy. We need a body politic not infested with corporate lobbyists We need strength of character Are they the attributes of a thug?

Closed captioning is there to help people experiencing hearing loss, which is different to being deaf. MD has form but dressing up ableism as another culture war is still ableism and entirely bullshit.

Anthony Albanese has called for fixed four year terms. Makes sense to me. If you agree, RT. Disagree, "like"? #auspol

Alan Austin on ABC's refusal to correct a shocking false claim against the Albanese govt. 'ABC7.30 asserted falsely that poverty in Aust was worsening under the Albanese Govt.. yet the 'findings' it presented were from years before Labor took office' #auspol independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

A strong, independent media is one of the only things that can prevent the complete destruction of democracy under a would-be autocrat. These media owners have chosen to look after their own $$$ interests, and in doing so have decided democracy isn’t worth the trouble. “Democracy dies in the dark.”

it’s Christmas Eve in Paris, heading out for dinner after shopping today, l want to wish everyone the best of days but in my mind the story which stuck was the homeless bloke in Moreton Bay who isn’t allowed to keep his dog after being kicked out of his rental - let’s be a better Australia in 2025.

Only two nations are in budget surplus, have triple A credit ratings and have reduced debt to GDP two years running: Australia and Denmark. Interesting that Australia's mainstream news media (incl. the ABC) doesn't report this news. 🤔 #auspol #journalism

In the space of three years, #NewsCorpse has gone from applauding Josh Frydenberg spending like a drunken sailor (2021) to eviscerating Jim Chalmers for forking out a fraction of that (2024). ⤵️ What a difference a party affiliation makes ... #auspol

Hey corporate media, Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.
