Economies don't exist for the top 1%. Capitalism is as evil as communism as both systems end up with a top 1% very wealthy with the rest expected to be serfs. Exist just to get the top 1% more wealth and power. BOYCOTT THE RICH

We have so many Chinese students - vulnerable kids in a strange country with v different rules. Having taught such students what strikes me is how big an opportunity this is for soft diplomacy. They are so anxious about critiquing government and being watched. We can show there are options.

Two men allegedly brought guns into the MCG during an AFL game, which has triggered serious questions about venue security processes in Australia.

friends, please buy my books can you imagine the genuine horror if i had to turn to only fans?

Women will be the change we want to see in our world. We aren’t relying on white men, women who cover for me or career politicians! Go the Independents!! @allegraspender.bsky.social is the best representative I’ve ever had! #auspol

My fellow Blueys I'm currently writing the sequel to #Gunnawah and I have a 40-something male character in Dec 1974 driving a sports car of some description. The character is a well-off wanker Any suggestions on the car? Something shiny and ostentatious would be good Thanks in advance 🙏🏽

Laws passed last year made what this student did a criminal offence but there is no action on platforms used to make this content - some apps and websites are even set up to specifically make stuff like this. Why isn’t government attacking this on all fronts?

The Heritage Foundation is threatening to go after writers and editors of Wikipedia. It’s time to donate some more money if you can. It’s one of the only places that’s safeguarding facts.

The underlying sentiment of this statement is that the political journals in Australia are so woeful, that this allows the phrase ‘The best’ & David Speers to be used in the same sentence Obviously said editor is only making this enlightened observation for the traditional mainstream media #auspol

Crisafulla-shyte -the Gold-Standard hypocrite..must hve exaggerated whiplash by now.. ..as he berates folks for “scare campaigns” while mounting 1 of the biggest & longest “youth crime” scare campaigns in QLD We lived thru 4 years of RW lies & misinformation in QLD so this flea cld win an election

@sarahhansonyoung.bsky.social why aren't you calling out The Guardian + our "independent" media for their Meta sponsorship? Walkley's + Meta: archive.md/1mcED #AusPol #journalism #meta #climatebrawl @edzitron.com

Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism forward.com/news/686797/...

Maybe women who are terrorised by murderous Australian men they know can shelter in them? #domesticterrorism #waronwomen www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

"the model of journalism we have used for more than 100 years has been tested in this era of bald-faced political fabrication, dissembling and existential environmental threat. It has been found utterly wanting " meanjin.com.au/essays/the-t...

Australia doesn't need to worry if Trump says he wants to Invade, as the troops will probably end up in Austria. 😆

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.”

Every time I see Neanderthal crap like this I want to destroy SM for good. I really didn’t need to know these people exist on our planet.

Please fix the IPad interface on @bsky.app ! Done with twitter but until you fix it I am stuck. Thank you in advance.

I am absolutely delighted to have the No 1 most read article at the AIMN for 2024. Particular thanks to #NZpol for the interest. The #AtlasNetwork is more obvious in our small countries compared to complex scenes in Global North proper. Easier to watch in action. #Auspol theaimn.com/new-zealand-...

Australian bosses could go to jail for 10 years & be fined $1.65 million if they underpay their workers. The follows years of underpayment scandals, with cases at prominent employers including Woolworths, Qantas, NAB, BHP & the ABC. Ps : Note it’s called ‘overreach’ when held accountable. #auspol

The ABC could strengthen itself easily: - Bring back a Lateline format to the 10pm time slot to set the news cycle Mon-Fri - Train an army of investigative reporters - Power up iView with more shows & movies - Reinvigorate local news services & radio - Remove the tabloid-enthusiasts #auspol

It’s interesting to note the media near silence on QLD “youth crime” in QLD after the election. Type into Google “youth crime QLD & Channel 7” & u are inundated with media youth-crime mania up to 2 years b4 the election.. ..despite criminologists presenting facts to say youth crime was decreasing🙄

On Thursday the 2024 issue of @theneweuropean.bsky.social comes out and they have given me the platform to explain why Gisèle Pelicot is my hero and how she radically changed the conversation about shame and sexual assault It is my proudest writing. app.theneweuropean.co.uk/2024/10/26/v...

Remember when Dutton attacked Ali France, Dickson candidate, b4 the last fed election for not living in the electorate? Ali lives just outside Dickson in a modified home - as Ali is a disabled amputee. Dutton is THAT puerile & low. Expect worse from this despicable degenerate at the next election

I’m in total agreement with Chris. Treat offenders like this a dangerous dogs, destroy them or lock them up for life.

Yes he will die in jail, but 20 years for his crimes is not proportionate. Only life without parole would be in a case like this.

Dutton’s playing by Trump’s handbook by just making any sh*t up that fits in with his BS and then claiming it as fact After all, his main job is to just keep kicking this BS Nuclear ‘policy’ down the road so Gina and Co can delay those pesky renewables for as long as it suits them

TOTALLY!!

Just watched the doco The Forest on Australian ABC. Maybe I’m biased but a bunch of excited, articulate, passionate ecologists talking about life’s complexity and values of not cutting down old growth forest, plus stunning point cloud imagery was pretty cool. 🌳🌳🌳🌳

When farmers + media enable right wing colonialism to thrive, welcome to the price that you pay. It's a shame The Guardian won't tell the truth about their renewables "conservationists" whom also star in right wing media. #climatecrisis #agriculture #agsky #AusPol #AusMedia #renewables 🔌💡

So we abandon people up in a place they can never leave then deny them enough money to survive. Another disgusting, gutless Labor attack on refugees and asylum seekers in an effort to try to look tough. Shame on this craven government. This will kill people. Despicable.
