'Dangerous lies': Bandt calls out 'utterly untrue' Dutton line about 'Jew-hating' Greens. Greens Adam Bandt has expanded on his earlier response to LOTO Peter Dutton saying Bandt leads an "antisemitic, Jew-hating party", calling the comments "reprehensible, offensive & utterly untrue". #auspol

Peter Dutton made a new election ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

There is no debate on nuclear. There is not a single credible expert who thinks nuclear is right for us. It’s nothing but a distraction. That’s not the grounds for a debate #auspol

Just to reassure people, Peter Dutton has as much chance of leading the Liberal coalition to victory as I have of becoming the Pope He's spent the past 3 years grabbing headlines without putting in the work on substance & policies and now it's coming home to bite him A guaranteed failure of a man

Asked what policies he had for women, Dutton offered a fuel discount for “women driving to work or driving kids around.” What about safety, Peter? Early education? Workforce participation? Seriously — vote independent. Independence works for women.

Trump straight up lying for Putin. Bitch.

#ThugDutton #TemuTrump #MillionairePeterDutton giving a “10 minute speech” on ABCNews at 7:00am this morning. I trust that, in the interests of balance, Anthony Albanese is given a similar time slot and space to deliver his message to Australians?

It's all right there for everyone to see. Just join the in plain sight dots #DontRiskDutton #auspol #TemuTrump

We must imagine and fight for a different future — one in which Australia chooses transparency over stealth, diplomacy over dominance, and non-violence over endless escalation. Submarines will never offer peace. #auspol #aukus @dvdhlo.bsky.social

This was meant to come up on budget reply, but was dumped - so looks like the panic button has been hit

From our Treasury: “We’re moving from the hard currency of pebbles to the 21st century of currency known as “Cryo-currency”. We will be releasing a Gov supported memechunk of ice, which may become valuable, or may melt tomorrow. It’s really an exciting gamble that’s sure to pay off for a few of us.”

So ABC News @abcnewsnetau.bsky.social is now running stories about “alleged bomb threats” at #ThugDutton. WTF. No source other than “some papers are running a story…..”…..I wonder what the polls are saying about Dutton’s performance to have Murdoch resorting to dropping stories like this.

Dutton went full Trumpian fascist today. He tries to keep it hidden, but it slips out. I give you exhibit A. #auspol

Amelia Hamer, the Liberal Party’s great hope to wrest the blue-ribbon seat of Kooyong back has pitched herself as a renter & someone who empathises with tenants’ struggles. But while the Oxford-educated 31-year-old is renting in Hawthorn, she is a landlord & owns two investment properties. #auspol

There has been criticism of Peter Dutton's relationship with billionaires like Gina Rinehart and what that would mean for him standing against them if he was prime minister. Like clockwork, there is a story from Coalition 'sources' that the relationship between Rinehart and Dutton has cooled

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

When the Morrison Govt left office, they were employing 50,000 ppl through consultancies & labour hire & cost $20bn for a single year. Gutting the public service will not save $$ & it will hurt our vets, age pensioners & new parents needing access to PPL. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Yet another one of #JohnHoward's toxic legacies. He was easily Australia's most damaging PM, yet the Liberals hold him in high esteem. Idiots. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Loving this from @keanebernard.bsky.social Our punch back at Trump starts with "getting off our knees" and ignoring the "counsel of appeasers and sycophants" at Murdoch and Nine. www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/12/d...

It would also be hoped that other senior managers, besides the Commissioners, who were a party to the original decision-making considerations aren't involved in the new investigation. Does it mean that 4 new delegations will need to assigned? #NACC #Robodebt6

Sam Kerr has been found not guilty. Yet the rancid pile on b4 & during the trial continues RW media have continued to stir the pot of outrage & angertainment against Kerr. Ask yourselves why these same commentators don’t do this to men - & in fact protect them? womensagenda.com.au/latest/eds-b...
