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 guy 🤌🏼🤦🏼‍♂️ #auspol

👍 Boycott Amazon.

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

In 2023–24, declared donations made up only 7% of political parties’ total income. There are other sources of income on the public record (including public funding), but about 45% of party income remains hidden because the disclosure threshold is so high. theconversation.com/political-do...

This is so dangerous. Get ready for all gov communication to be routed through X, so that you get exposed to the wild world of Musk and MAGA when trying to do your reporting or information finding. This is anti-media.

Thank you to The Courier-Mail and Elissa Lawrence for this beautiful tribute to my gorgeous boy Henry. So grateful🙏 He is always with me. ❤️

It's all there in plain sight. No one is coming to save us from this - but us. We all have a role to play. Time to step up #auspol

Contrary to what's implied, the o/night price spikes were due to record low o/puts from coal generators. And hidden away is the real headline: that renewables supplied 46% of NEM electricity in the Dec Quarter. First comments are, naturally, from the opposition as are the last words. #auspol

Peter Dutton attended Pell's funeral. He described Pell as persecuted. Pell was never found innocent in court. Compensation has been awarded to TWO victims, one for raping a 9 year old boy. Support Victim-Survivors and denounce the deplorable act of supporting Sex Offenders #pell #dutton #csa

Finding out the mood on the street regarding Grace Tame’s shirt

Suffocating seas: low oxygen levels emerging as third major threat to tropical coral reefs Globally, oceanic oxygen is being depleted because seawater holds less oxygen as it heats up. theconversation.com/suffocating-...

I’m more disappointed in Albo than most. But the notion that the illiterate, racist thug and Queensland ex-cop Dutton would be a better PM is a joke. Dutton is a flake, an inch-deep cynical opportunist funded by fascists like Gina Rinehart. He needs to be kicked into the dustbin of history.

I don't agree that the T-shirt is silly. It's good to see Grace Tame as vocal as ever and notably, smiling. www.crikey.com.au/2025/01/29/g...

Wow. 🔥🔥🔥 This new bombshell Oxfam report is exactly what billionaires don’t want us to know: Apparently 60% of global billionaire wealth comes not from entrepreneurship… …but from inheritance, corruption, cronyism & monopolies. Share the truth:

@davemilbo.bsky.social Apologies, have never done this before. Please would you publicise my mobility scooters (2) have been stolen from Richmond/Melbourne area? Most concerned for my pink 4x4 all-terrain one. I have now lost my (virtual) legs. TerrainHoppers are rare in Aus. www.terrainhopper.com

Corporate lobbyists can cheaply access politicians in private, while peaceful public protestors face harsh penalties. Really shows whose voices our governments think should be heard 🤔 @jack-thrower.bsky.social #auspol

Did you see this news!? Heather Ruddock, the wife of former attorney-general Philip Ruddock, has quit the Liberal Party. She said an unnamed federal Coalition MP told her that tertiary-educated women were “not the demographic we’re going for” So she's voting independent🔥

This is how you create a topsy-turvy world: by labeling corrective counterspeech (=fact-checking) as "censorship" and labeling lies as "free speech". It works well, because at first glance, who would object to free speech?

Sobering day for climate action but all the more reason to stay focused on Australia’s opportunities to lead on renewable energy. Climate risks are escalating, impacting our safety and costing us. This is not a race we can quit. #auspol #climateaction

"Researchers from 4 Australian unis have released a new paper questioning why solar microgrids are not ‘the norm’ in remote Central Australia, while energy insecurity prevails in very remote Aboriginal households." Because Australia is racist + wants them dead, that's why. #slowviolence #AusPol

$368B for symbolism 🤦‍♂️. “… we’ll probably spend huge sums of money, cannibalise the rest of our military and end up with no subs at all. That would be a characteristic Australian defence outcome.” 1/2 #AUKUS #auspol
