It’s difficult to understand why the Coalition thinks rolling out a policy that can be easily compared to negative gearing will win people over. #news #theage #politics #federal

"If Labor.. cannot defend the rights of journalists, doctors, & children not to be bombed into oblivion, then what does it stand for? How many more headless children does it need to see held by grieving parents before it goes beyond...offering meaningless platitudes and gratuitous declarations?"

"Paul Keating summed up the Liberals some time ago, “The Liberals have no principles, they’re simply a bunch of vested interests in search of a policy” Nothings changed and it’s hard to argue against." Credit: Mike Hilder thepolitics.com.au/pistol-pete-...

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Oooo.. I can’t pick a fave between Teumpcession or Trump Slump but I’m sure it will be huge. The biggest recession ever. Covfefe #PresidentChump

ABC 🇦🇺 has a poll asking if want to watch the leaders debate. No. And the answer will be no until there is more representation I know it's hard to get independents in there but maybe they can select a few based on key seats or something. We do not have to be ruled by a duopoly #auspol

This is the system we've created:

Vote 1 Labor - don't gamble with the fringe and get one as PM #auspol

Good article for journalists- looking at you PK #auspol

"In all Dutton’s efforts to convince us life is insufferable and it’s solely Albanese’s fault, there’s been zero mention of our tip-top jobs market. In all our self-pity, we’ve allowed a man with no interest in the economy, and little knowledge of economics, to mislead us." Ross Gittens

I still think this would save a lot of time ( Terry Pratchett The Last Continent) #auspol

Come on #auspol. Get your banking over to @bankaust.bsky.social #DontLookUp

Does anyone on here have LNP Ted O’Brien’s mobile number so I can reply to his unsolicited propaganda text that the dotard just sent me? He’s a bit scared of losing his seat at the moment. Apparently sitting on your bone idle arse for 9 years doesn’t cut it with voters. #auspol

Can journalists please stop pretending that TOP is a legitimate political party? It's a trenchcoat full of sad grifters with a shitty logo and a deranged rich dude funding them. The correct Australian reaction to this lot is to take the piss - at best they're a third rate D-gen skit #auspol

Problem is, we're stuck then with what we currently have. Which the Greens said that they'd lobby - but how has that worked out for us this time? Where is their lobbying power? It's close to non existent. We're run by fossil fuels + friends #AusPol

For anyone who has a bit of curiosity on the subject of the education of either our current govt ministers or the shadow ministers. Jim Chalmers has a PhD. #auspol

Mental note Liberal campaign HQ 1) don’t use kids in the campaign whether a baby or adult 2) don’t falsely verbal a leader of another country 3) use three years in Opposition to develop some policies 4) don’t preselect candidates voters wouldn’t let babysit their kids Desperation is showing #auspol

Dutton being absolutely destroyed by the press gallery for lying about saying there had been an announcement by the President of Indonesia

Well Penny Wong is on fire over Dutton's lies. Can he just quit lying??? #auspol

#auspol this one is bloody important. It's a petition to formally offer asylum to gender and sexual minorities from the US. Sign it if you're Australian and share it even if you're not. www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Great Bernie video, equally relevant for #Auspol. Australia doesn't need the billionaires,they need us. Don't vote for ALP or LNP. Both are selling us into oligarchs - Libs just want to fast track it. Make them pay their taxes! Vote Community Independent or Green. youtu.be/w6UV_UD8s1g?...

When "enough risk cannot be transferred (no insurance), absorbed (no state cover of losses), & no risk adaptation (physical limits exceeded), there is existential financial risk" “That means no more mortgages, no new real estate development, no long-term investment, no financial stability.”

"If citizens endorse the idea that people named by authorities as "criminals" or "terrorists" have no right to due process, then they are accepting that they themselves have no right to due process. It is due process, and due process alone, that allows you to demonstrate that you are a citizen."

Adelaide desal plant has at times been running at capacity 300 million ltrs of drinking water a day I remember Libs won an election ranting the plant was a white elephant, Libs don't govern for the future #auspol Want to live long term VOTE FOR IT! Coaltion are future eaters

"On the surface, it sounds like a good thing. But really what these policies do is subsidise demand for housing, when demand is already too high. People are being encouraged to take on more debt and chase after ever-increasing house prices." Result: push up prices with access to bigger loans

This. Everyone has a budget, right? And the first thing you do when making one is set priorities. How can I pay for this? What can I go without to buy my kid that thing they want? Make no mistake, THAT’S what low pensions are - an intentional choice to put the most vulnerable last #auspol #ausvotes

My personal position on the Oz nuclear debate? Nuclear fusion? Good. Nuclear fission? Are you serious? You might as well advocate for a return to wooden ships for our existing Navy fleet, give our soldiers muskets, and stock up on pigeons and cursive letters for means of communication. #auspol

Peter Dutton complains about our state education system saying it tries to indoctrinate children He then totally supports the Roman Catholic education system Which quite openly tries to indoctrinate children! (And is often a good school system if you remove the religious aspect) #auspol

"An unspeakably dismal choice is made before our eyes & without our consent: machines over humans, inanimate over animate, profits over all else. With stunning speed, the big tech megalomaniacs quietly rolled back their net-zero pledges & lined up by Trump’s side hellbent on sacrificing this world"

Angus Taylor: "It's 7 generators at $20bn each, so that's $120bn..." Treasurer Jim Chalmers calls out Angus' failure at even basic multiplication: "it's rubbish" 🤣 #730 #auspol

Another cracking insight made by @friendlyjordies.bsky.social about the utter incompetence that is #AngusTaylor. #DontRiskDutton #auspol #aupol #LNPNeverAgain #LNPCorruptionParty

One of Australia’s largest conservation organisations has awarded the federal Coalition just one out of 100 for its environment and climate change policies. #ClimateEmergency #nuclear #auspol #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We're always told we 'can't afford' to lift JobSeeker or the pension. It's nonsense. "We're so rich we can drop a lazy $360 billion on nuclear subs we didn't know we needed. But when it comes to helping unemployed people, 'Oh, money doesn't grow on trees.'" @richarddenniss.bsky.social on #QandA.

Again the Liberals are TELLING US who they are. They will use anything they think will work to control people & as a born-again atheist I can tell you, religion is the perfect vehicle. Since when has Australia been a ‘religious’ country? ONLY since the LNP started telling us so #auspol #ausvotes2025

At Pt Lincoln airport, passengers pay $15/ticket for security screening. At Whyalla it’s $45. At Mt Gambier it’ll soon be $90. In Sydney it’s only 70 cents/ticket. Under new laws proposed by the @jacquilambie.bsky.social Network everyone will pay the same $1 price. #fair #regions #auspol

It's not whether you put Labor 1 on the ballot, BUT who you put LAST which determines who gets your vote. Whoever you put LAST can never benefit from your vote, but all others above the last can in some circumstances benefit from your vote. REMEMBER: #PutTheLNPLast #PutTheLiberalsLast #auspol
