The NACC is under fire following revelations it failed to comply with its own legislation after a complaint about a Commissioner was “wrongly dismissed” & not “immediately passed to the NACC Inspector as required by law” NACC has “apologised” & hopes every1 can quietly move on😒

Convenient how the CEO of Woodside thinks that young people calling for a livable planet are the problem. Not the oil and gas corporations pumping millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, boiling the world.

The fed coalition infighting & disunity has been exposed with the collapse of support in the 2025 election. The QLD LNP are tarred with the same brush. They went to the election with nothing, are divisive, are shutting down opinion & defunding important services. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The absolute gall of the Nationals to be using internet connectivity as a policy condition & talking up the need for it in the bush - when it was their direct actions which caused the issues in the first place & the negligence of the media not to point this out!! #auspol #insiders

Murdoch is not the only entity we should be worrying about re media monopoly in this country. Australia Digital Holdings is a conservative-based news entity with Libertarian connections backed by ppl like James Packer. Their regional takeover has been insidious & concerning.

While their preferred political party implodes spectacularly - RW media have zoned in on a superannuation scare campaign that will affect less than .05% of Australians. When you see the majority of RW media foghorning for the wealthy- u know we need a complete media overhaul in this country.

No idea why media still depicts Nats as a farmers party. They are a mining party beholden to coal and gas interests and funded by Gina Rinehart. When there is a conflict between farmers and fossil fuels, they always back fossil fuels. Their opposition to wind is to protect fossil fuels for longer.

McKenzie says that Nats will “always stand up for the 9 million Australians who live in regional Australia” While I would argue the truth of her statement I’ll let facts do the talking. Under 600k ppl voted for the Nats as a party So 8.4 million regional ppl feel they are not represented by Nats

Why is Richard Boyle likely to go to jail, and David McBride in jail, when Ben Roberts-Smith is walking the streets? Why do our courts punish those exposing the real crimes? #auspol

Here's a clip featuring a senior journalist interviewing a senior politician in Australia. The politician explains that she asked what "AI thought" about their recent election loss, and the only question the journalist asks is 'so, tell me what it thought!' we are in so much freaking trouble here

New numbers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that annual real wages have now grown for a year and a half under the Albanese Labor Government.  Under Labor, more Australians are working, earning more and keeping more of what they earn.  #auspol #ausecon
