Who else agrees with China? China hasn't dropped a bomb for 40 years whereas the US has dropped a bomb on average every 40 mins for the past 40 years.

The problem isn’t government waste. The problem is that billionaires don’t pay taxes.

Of the 35 advanced countries in the OECD who reported last year’s exports to the World Bank, only three increased exports relative to gross domestic product over 2022. Of these, Australia’s expansion was the strongest Why do most Australian media outlets never report this!

Pay rises are the highest they hve been in 15 yrs. Record number of secure jobs Gender pay gap is lowest it has been in years. Yet according to business & the coalition this is bad for business. No, it’s not. Productivity is high. Workers also put more money into economy. Don’t believe the lies

In the lead up to next year’s election, the workers of Australia should remember that Dutton’s Coalition economic plan is to keep you underpaid and under the thumb. Dutton is not your friend.

If #socialmedia is dangerous to children and requires a legislated ban, surely we have to do the same for religion, for exactly the same reason. #auspol

Yep! Checked in my local Woolies today and lots of this. Solidarity to my fellow @unitedworkers.org.au members on strike

Israel is allying to ISIS affiliated criminal gangs to starve Gaza. You can read about this in the Israeli press. Why isn't this splashed on front pages in the West? New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-all...

In case you’re watching parliament and listening to LNP members tell you how much the LNP deeply cares about #housing. Note they didn’t care enough to have a Housing Ministry for most of those interminable years they were in govt. #auspol

Chrisafulli is a Christian, isn’t he? Very worried about the rights of the unborn, as I recall. Pity, like so many of his brethren, he has so little compassion for children once they are born.

I was live on ABC Illawarra radio with @doctormcdougall.bsky.social this afternoon talking about NSW ten-year-olds in lock-up, not teens on TikTok, and it was great, thanks for having me. Learn more here: raisetheagensw.org.au

Scott Morrison has trouble handling the truth.😐

Not monsters? I beg to differ. #auspol #MVAW #MVAC www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This link from The Chaser gives us over 124 reasons why the coalition and Herr Duttonator should NEVER be voted into govt. ever. It’s a good read. All with links… and likely only the tip of the iceberg for these scurrilous dung dwellers. chaser.com.au/national/an-...

Now (anti-doxing legislation just passed) that you can go to jail for 7 years for doxing, we nominate the Sky News team and The Australian to wear the striped jarmies for doxing the Qantas flight attendant who wore a lapel pin youtu.be/9gQO0JBrv34?...

Okay, I can leave #Twitter now. The wonderful couple @jimmybarnes.com and @jane13barnes.bsky.social have joined #BlueSky! They both definitely deserve a very warm welcome and lots of follows! 💐 🙏 😊 🎶

The most horrendous, harmful stuff I've seen on social media this year has been the countless atrocities carried out by Israel and supported by its Western allies, like us. I would have opted for more pressure to end that, instead of just banning the ability for kids to become aware of the horror.

Look at what Simon Birmingham has voted for and against and tell me again that he's a moderate. theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senat...

Good Riddance. What so only 50% of what comes outta his mouth will be lies Veteran Liberal senator retires to seek ‘new direction’ #aupolitics #feedly

The Australian Social Media legislation is one of the most draconian infringements in young people's rights and has no possible way of being properly enforced. www.6newsau.com/post/6-news-...

Dutton whines about $450m “wasted on the Voice “that divided our country”.. .. no, Pete it was YOU who divided the country with your racist dog whistling, negative agenda, your aggressive No platforming & your punching down on Indigenous people - constantly - to suit your agenda YOU are to blame.

At last: a counter to the saccharine drivel sloshing out of the press gallery…

Crisafulli is Newman 2.0 and the #LNP govt just a bunch of grifters on #qldpol citizens. A #Spud govt at #auspol level would be no different, coming from the same MAGA GOP mould.

Authorised by me on behalf of the ASRC. It’s the ugly truth as of today after the Albanese Government betrayed multicultural communities overnight. A profoundly shameful display lacking in leadership from a party elected on a promise to be more fairer & compassionate on migration.

If you are a progressive voter & someone asks of this Labor govt... Apart from cheaper child care, free Tafe, cheaper medicines, gender equity in FWC, Nurses in Aged Care, wage increases, tax cuts, electricity rebates... "Wot 'ave the Romans ever done for us?" Here's an incomplete list. #auspol

Albanese Labor govt passes "world leading" legislation targeting tax dodging multinational corporations. "A new bar for others to follow": Tax Justice Network. Well done, Labor. #auspol www.ft.com/content/915c...

You won’t read this in the papers…. It’s about time the Government introduced laws for truth in journalism
