Subjecting the entire nation to Tim Wilson again is quite an inconsiderate thing for the voters of Goldstein to do

Netanyahu has just confirmed in a gut wrenching speech that he will ‘occupy the entire Gaza strip and remain there’. This morning, Israel bombed Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon and Syria in less than an hour.

Dr Assal Rad— “𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 “You misspelled ILLEGALLY OCCUPY.”

Listening to lots of LNP politicians being interviewed and asked about why they think they lost so resoundingly highlights exactly why they lost. They take no responsibility for their lack of policy, and it shows how completely out of touch they are with Australians. We don’t want culture wars.

Before 2022 on the dead bird site this was one of my most tweeted tweets. I would do it every time I saw him. I hope that I don’t need to redo this: Tim Wilson is emblematic of all that is wrong with politics in this country. #Auspol.

Fascinated to see who the Libs choose as next leader. Will it be the woman who added an extra letter to her name for numerology reasons, the man who once described Europe as a ‘country’, or the man who proposed taxing a black market product. They really are spoilt for choice

Yup. #GoldsteinVotes #AusVotes25

Didn’t take the QLD LNP long…. BREAKING: The LNP are increasing rego by 3.4% in July. Labor reduced Rego by 20% and froze all government fees. Where is the cost of living relief promised to Queenslanders?

As someone who helped run/ worked on democracy sausage sizzles for many years, I'd just like to say that even if you've already pre polled, PLEASE drop by your local public school tomorrow and treat yourself to something from the BBQ or cake stall. Your money goes to a good cause.

Can’t post this too much or too often. Cathy Wilcox

Dickson should just vote for someone other than Dutton because when the Liberals lose he will resign immediately from parliament. Save yourself the bother of a by election, just vote in someone else, like Labor, or a solid independent. #auspol #Australia #politics

We're told we "can't afford" to lift people out of poverty or protect our environment, but apparently we can always afford more money for missiles & submarines that we don't need. @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social crunched the numbers & found Australia is the 12th biggest spender on defence in the world.

Well, I didn't have the Tiger King backing Labor on my Bingo card. "Keep Australia safe and awesome. All of my friends in Australia vote for @albomp.bsky.social" #auspol #AusVotes2025 #AusVotes25 #TemuTrump #abc730

Wow have a listen ,🙏🏼

Media takes break from villainising Welcome to Country to ask how racists could possibly think it’s ok to boo a Welcome to Country

The welcome to country was booed at the Melbourne dawn service. This group of bad actors, "Advance", has been aggressively sowing hate and division behind-the-scenes against the Indigenous ceremony. Advance is quietly funded by the Liberal Party. (ICYMI:) theklaxon.com.au/liberal-part...

Policy of the Day: Protecting whistleblowers Rather than protecting whistleblowers and the important role they play in stopping corruption, our Government is prosecuting them. 86% of Australians want stronger legal protections for whistleblowers, our research shows. #auspol

The activity test for childcare punished mums trying to work and set back the development of kids, mostly from low-income families. That's why I worked so hard to get it abolished. Now the Liberals want to bring it back. Early childhood education isn’t a luxury — it’s essential.

A reminder that Andrew Hastie - despite his natty haircut - is anti-gay marriage & comes from a family of deeply religious creationists, with a father who has quite the track record of patronising women Young Andrew also isn't helped by the fact he has the intellect of a bag of two week old turnips

I've been advised that the briefing document is 67 pages long (inc cover page). Aside from the cover page the remaining 66 pages have been exempted from FOI. 👀

Free tertiary education in the 1970s+ in Australia lifted lots of people out of poverty & into productive, highly skilled professions. Those people earned more, paid more tax, contributed more to their communities & society in general. It was dumb to stop free tertiary when huge corps pay NO tax.

ICYMI. Many big, profitable companies in Australia pay NO tax. We could afford the good things like free tertiary education and dental care if they paid their fair share of taxes.
