Business lobby wants govt workers back in the CBD to occupy vacant buildings and keep rents high, no matter what the cost to the workers or to taxpayers. #auspol www.afr.com/property/com...

Trump and Vance's plan to attack the USA's allies and promote Putin is undermining and dividing rightwing politics in those countries.

So is the NACC with its apparently retrospective powers going to investigate Dutton on serious Insider Trading allegations inc that he recvd inside info from Snr Treasury official Godwin Grech or has every1 inc politicians all accepted the NACC is a big worthless pile of sh#%?

Work point vacancy rates in APS offices are as bad as major city rental vacancy rates yet the Coalition wants to force people into the office Gonna need to increase the no of work points by 25%+ which = leasing lots of offices for $$$ Absolutely bonkers, wasteful ideological posturing #auspol

“White House directs officials to draft proposal to lift US sanctions on Russia” Among other things this is shocking betrayal of the 38 Australians killed by Russia on Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 #auspol www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Every American you meet needs to be asked why they support a President that supports Putin who ordered MH17 and the Salisbury poisonings #auspol

#BREAKING 🚨 Australia's Voice senator Fatima Payman has issued a statement after describing Iran as an "incredible place" for women in an interview with Iranian state media She says her comments "reflected what women had shared with me" and she had "no knowledge of Press TV and their affiliations"

The Jacinta Price conundrum #auspol

Danielle Kutchel continuing the ABC policy of never mentioning climate change no matter how obvious or relevant it is to the topic. It does read like Danielle has got a working relationship to Melina Bath though. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Watch just how low Senators James McGrath & Dean Smith go to provide a protection racket for Peter Dutton & attempt to hide his dodgy financial dealings by trying to stop Deborah O’Neill from questioning Treasury after Dutton lands in hot water over a share trading scandal🚩 youtu.be/BKPb1QaroD4?...

Focus on the problem. 66% of Australians are overweight or obese amp.abc.net.au/article/1049...

Politicians who fail to pursue the criminal convictions of other politicians who have broken the law, are complicit in creating the problem of politicians being above the law.

Nearing the end of February 2025, just wondering how the Gladys Berejiklian corruption case is going #auspol

If you don't pay close attention to German politics, you don't know how much of a political earthquake it is to see a _CDU_ leader making this kind of statement.

Wonderful news from France! The National Assembly has voted to advance a billionaire's tax—116 in favor, 39 against. The tax enjoys huge public support, with 75% of the French backing it. Similar levels of support are seen in polls across other countries, including the U.S.

Dutton wanted to fast track South Africans Every accusation is an admission with the LNP #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The only people who vote for the Greens are people who don’t really know them. NOT EVEN TURNING UP to vote on anti-hate legislation is consistent with decades of obstruction and abandonment of progressive issues. They’re snobs who treat Labor like ugly servants. It is disgraceful. #auspol #springst

The owners couldn't afford to insure the houses even if they were allowed to build #climatechange is real www.news.com.au/technology/e...

it is concerning that both the leader of the Liberal Party and the federal Nationals director have both pedaled the claim that Labor is speeding up giving citizenship to immigrants because they'll vote for them. This is dangerously close to Great Replacement theory imo

Anyone talking to the tough on crime crowd, should ask them why they aren't advertising for a return to debtors prison. Use Belle Gibson as an example. UK used gaol 10,000 people year #auspol
