I said this in November last year but I don’t think anyone could’ve picked tonight’s Labor landslide. Ian

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

Laura Tingle pours cold water on Peter Dutton’s Nuclear fantasy saying it “hasn’t really taken off” citing the “two teetsee references to Nuclear” in his speech & says “what Peter Dutton has suggested” on gas “raises really serious economic sovereignty questions”💥#auspol youtu.be/hGtvcUX5_o4?...

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Seeing some aspiring Liberals (hilariously) relying on ChatGPT to inform their messaging. I’d gently suggest anyone relying on ChatGPT for political insights (including this doozy on “Liberal PM” Albo) might want to consult a neurologist. I’m happy to recommend a local one.

Peter Dutton wants to keep Australians angry & fearful, so they're distracted from the fact that his ONLY policy is to serve the interests of Gina Rinehart. The Liberal Party's only goal is to protect the profits of the fossil fuels industry. Voters in Dickson can #DumpDutton. #auspol #AusVotes2025

Why isn't Clive getting Ralph involved? He could call it the CRAP Party. Rolls off the tongue AND accurate.

The phenomenon of this song is just amazing. It never charted well on release, but has gone 4x platinum, and interest in it has grown almost every year. BUT that interest is just for ONE day a year. It spikes during breakfast TV/radio, and by 9pm it’s almost vanished.

Last election Mundine stood for a seat on the NSW south coast! He had some bullshit connection to that seat….which he lost…..what connection does he have to Bradfield? Absolutely FUCK ALL except it’s a seat in parliament and he’s been desperate to ride the taxpayers gravy train for years!

If you live in Melbourne, remember this bloke permitted all the 3AW and 2GB attacks on our elected government during a health crisis. He employed Ben Fordham in Sydney. He let The Age and SMH become what they are. He oversaw a culture of sexual harassment and bullying. Our ABC, gorn. #AusPol

Australia’s treatment of whistleblowers is downright dystopian. Heroes like Richard Boyle and David McBride face jail for exposing the truth, while billionaires and corporations dodge accountability. We need to do better. #auspol #RichardBoyle #DavidMcBride

Australia is opposed to the death penalty. Mick Keelty was AFP commissioner at the time. Knowing their intentions, he supplied info to the Indonesian police knowing full well what it could lead to. Myuran Sukumaran & Andrew Chan were executed in 2015. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Australia spends an eye-watering $11.6 billion a year subsidising the fossil fuel industry. These handouts come in the form of tax breaks, fuel rebates, and public funding for Fossil F infrastructure So factor in these cost savings and renewables are even cheaper!

Meanwhile, the world continues to 🔥. Stop subsidising & burning fossil fuels ASAP. You too, AUS. Don’t get distracted by Dutton’s nuclear pipe dream. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

For commentary on Dutton's nuclear policy, ABC News went to NewsCorp's Clare Armstrong! Srsly! Not a scientist, an energy costs expert or even ABC's Laura Tingle. They went to a staffer from one of Murdoch's tabloid trash propaganda rags. STOP PLATFORMING NEWSCORP! #auspol #JournalismMatters 😠

'Peter's plan for seven (seven!) bespoke reactors plonked on the landscape is still decades away from getting council approval, let alone getting out of the ground. And the budget? Well it's a stonking amount, and even then it's not going to be anywhere near enough. It's a complete fantasy'

Its policies, including rollbacks of use of Māori language, dismantling an institution designed to remedy inequities in health, & introduction of a controversial bill that seeks to radically alter the way the treaty is interpreted undermine Māori rights, eroding the Māori relationship with the crown
