"if #Robodebt can be rewarded, then nothing is off limits. If we don’t speak up, we are agreeing — in silence — to live in a nation where cruelty is policy and honour means survival at the top." 💥🎯 #ScottyFromRobodebt #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

"More than 80 per cent of Australia's gas is exported, most of it royalty-free. And more than half of the gas sold to our top buyer Japan is then on-sold to other countries at a profit." Former BP executive Greg Bourne on Woodside's North West Shelf gas project: https://trib.al/uBZRx4S

They called her a mad cat woman and tried to destroy her reputation. Then they dragged her through the courts and tried to destroy her life. But @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is standing tall and continues telling the inconvenient truth. A must see. youtu.be/vG7CvbccdVM?...

The day author Ren Wyld was due to receive the Black & Write $15k Indigenous fellowship she was told it had been rescinded. A journo from the Oz seemed to know before she did. Appalling to see QLD govt cave to Murdoch press to punish a First Nations writer for speaking out in support of Palestine.

"If this was somewhere else in the world, there would be a national outcry. "The pollutants that are coming out of those Woodside stacks are actively degrading the rock art surfaces. "It's incontestable." 🎙️Professor of Archaeology Benjamin Smith #savemurujuga #auspol

No, "Australia" is in not in "a cost-of-living nightmare". For many, inflation is no biggie. We're in a poverty and inequality nightmare. If the media and political class only focus on the cost of things, and not structural problems, we'll never properly tax wealth. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Today on pre poll I met a woman. I think late 60's maybe 70's She wanted a HTV. I asked her what electorate she was in. She replied " I am not sure, I am homeless". My heart broke.

I know my brother @swearyanthony.bsky.social has a lot of people he cares about on here. While not everyone knows about the connection, a lot of people who follow me also follow him. This seemed like a way to get the word out: Anthony is currently in ICU in a critical condition after a head injury.

Beautiful piece from @kudelka.bsky.social, & I don’t know what to say that wouldn’t sound like demanding more (because it is our loss) except they’re very much words to take to heart. I’m so happy there’s more time for art. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/life/2025/04...

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad. Which is also why you should share it.

You know Dutton and The Liberals are in trouble when #JohnHoward is trundled out of the crypt. It's also very early in the campaign to resort to this. (Reminder: The Libs lost EVERY single seat that Howard made an appearance in last election). #auspol

For anyone living in electorate of Fairfax (Maroochydore aand surrounds) come to the campaign launch, and help defeat Ted O'Brien, leading LNP nuclear fan When: Friday, 12 April, 4–6pm Where: Buderim Mountain Primary School multi-purpose hall

"Hung parliaments can result in substantial reforms to improve government integrity and accountability, contrary to the wishes of those who usually hold power... an opportunity to make lasting improvements to the quality of governance." - Anne Twomey #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Labor campaigning in Dickson today where @alifrance.bsky.social is taking on incumbent Peter Dutton. #ausvotes

If you get a text message from LNP, do not click on their link to apply for postal vote. It takes you to an LNP website. Apply for postal votes only through AEC. www.aec.gov.au/election/pva...

There’s a substantial chance that both Albanese and Dutton are wrongly positioned and that each might have to face the other way, or perish politically. @waterfordjack #auspol #election2025

How does Australia rate the security risk? AUKUS not looking wise against the ditched French submarine contract. DeGualle was right.

Democracy Disaster-Direct Hit on eNGO Alert: Albanese is set to ram through Parlt (under cover of Budget), an exemption for fish farms from EPBC incl an amendment to prohibit third party civil society orgs from challenging Govt past approvals #auspol

I have said it and am gonna keep saying it. The coalition voted for holding a referendum and then campaigned against the question to generate granular seat-by-seat data - all publicly funded - for their targeted racism strategy in this federal election campaign.

Heat exposure on Western Australian coral reefs is literally off the charts. 24 Degree Heating Weeks now at Ningaloo - the highest ever recorded. 6-8 DHW is lethal for most branching corals. >20 is catastrophic. coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/product/vs/m...

Well, well, well @davelennon.bsky.social How long had I been saying this that Ukraine is better off dealing with China, especially in developing its rare earth industry. China knows how to process the rare earth minerals. Plus China can broker a peace deal between Russia & Ukraine

29 years since Paul Keating lost the Australian Federal Election to John Winston Howard.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

& Aus recently paid $800M for AUKUS

This is a number that's going to surge over the next decade thanks to a generation of failed economic policies. I really don't think our policy makers are ready for tent cities of homeless retirees.

Yes & you do not have to follow the how to vote cards handed out. It's your vote, you can decide your own preferences.

Niki Savva has pointed out Costello was Treasurer from when Labor lost office in Mar 96 until Dec 07. Peter Dutton became Asst Treasurer in Jan 06. Putting aside the 'Labor's mess' bit, Dutton's claiming 'we' did it when he had no involvement until 10 yrs after the event. A long bow there. #auspol

"Sunday's appearance on Insiders shows why Dutton tries to avoid scrutiny from sharp people about policy".

Murujuga's rock art is over 40,000 years old, and contains what could be the very first depiction of a human face in history. And it's currently under threat of destruction from Woodside's North West Shelf gas export terminal expansion. @markogge.bsky.social #auspol
