See what this arsehole did? Equated the actions of neo-Nazis with *accurate* history lessons in schools. ⤵️ The white supremacists who pulled that crap today were emboldened by RW media. Present company included, Neil. 🙄

Amongst outrage at the booing of ‘Welcome to Country’ & the beautiful & unmistakably Australian sound of the Didge echoing across the globe, ABCnews couldn’t quite find space for this story. I love my country but by fuck, we have a lot of growing up to do. #AusPol www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...

Note to Gina Rinehart. Stand for office in a free and fair election. See how you get on. Otherwise, STFU.

When an organisation gives in to the threats of racists, they are effectively endorsing that racism. Disgusting decision by the #MelbourneStorm. #auspol www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

It’s time for accountability. When we get back to Congress next week, articles of impeachment need to be filed against Pete Hegseth.

The “ugliness on display” in Melbourne is the direct result of the emboldening driven by the divisive anti-Voice racism stoked by the #$pudTheThug gang in opposition #auspol #AusVotes25 #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the Energy Security Summit in London: "Europe must never again be in a position where Russia thinks that they can blackmail us on energy…We must continue to crack down on their energy revenues,which are still fuelling Putin's war chest."

The UN Secretary-General António Guterres calls renewables the “economic opportunity of the century” & our “pathway out of climate hell.” Meanwhile, Australia approved the massively polluting Barossa Gas project. Our research shows 71% of Aussies back 100% renewables, as is reality in the ACT.

Today, on Anzac Day, we say one of the simplest but most powerful of sentences we have: Lest we forget.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

... when the billionaire class show us who they are and their warped values, they shouldn't be surprised when we resist. Take note Amazon, Meta et al. #auspol #ausvotes #tesla

Putin's willingness to negotiate and cooperate is an illusion. He does what he wants and is able to do. The Kremlin always acts only in its own interests. It always deceives: In speech, in writing, in all forms and options. The Kremlin has no partners: only slaves or masters⤵️

It’s hard for me to believe this is a “radical, leftist, socialist, commie” way to think.

Peter Dutton’s got 26 properties, a cool $30 million in real estate deals, and now he wants your vote… to fix the crisis that made him rich? 🤔 If you’re renting forever or saving endlessly, it’s not you. See bit.ly/GetUpAuthorisation for more info

Reminder that Gina receives billions in government subsidies and could end our housing crisis and homelessness tomorrow with her own wealth. Truely despicable greedy human who puts her knee into the throats of the poor! #auspol #ausvotes25

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend! A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

Dutton has vowed to increase income tax. To fund defence billions. That’s right, Dutton is going to a cost-of-living election vowing workers will pay more income tax #DontRiskDutton

There’s an old quote about what they mean when they say they want to abolish the minimum wage: it means they’ll pay you nothing if they think they can get away with it. #auspol

Pay attention #auspol

Wow. China just called out the Trump administration for blatantly lying about the existence of any ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and China.

I don't usually post about things because, like opinion polls, they can go up and down, but this result for @australia.theguardian.com is pretty amazing. Fourth most reads news site in the country. Such a credit to the entire team. Thank you to our readers and supporters. 👏

How out of touch can Peter Dutton get?

Mark Butler MP (Minister for Health and Ageing) criticises the weaknesses of the LNP health policies for the upcoming election; says it's like a "Trump DOGE agenda". #auspol #ausvotes #auselection25

Two days ago Peter Dutton clearly said he would keep the EV tax cut. Today he's said he’ll scrap it. This is just like the confusion over his Work from Home policy all over again, but worse.
