The Australian government should be distancing itself from the Trump administration, and ensuring that our national security is protected. Trump has proven himself to have no respect for the secrets act. He's a traitor. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

God, even Crikey is reporting that Dutton has "taken the wind out of Albanese's sails" in regard to the Medicare announcement, just because Dutton has said he will match the funding dollar for dollar. The ABC did the same thing yesterday. The framing is pathetic.

The ABC is so corrupted by years of rightwing whiteanting that this sort of biased framing is where we are at. On purpose or instinctive? Who knows, but it needs to be called out.

That might be because, as Health Minister, Dutton tried to scrap Bulk Billing with a GP tax and started a 6 year freeze to Medicare rebates that slashed BILLION$ out of our Medicare Not just the “boogeyman” of Medicare, but the Thug Australian doctors ranked “the worst Health Minister in 35 years”

Hmmm is it the “self defeating virtue signalling” that’s killing off the arts or is it the systematic destruction of arts degrees, the strangulation of a pipeline of talent, and the lack of funding that’s killing off the arts? Embarrassing from a culture secretary

The former director of the ACCC Gas Inquiry is calling for a limit on gas exports. 80% of Australia’s gas is exported. They are draining the system to the point we need to start importing gas, and they price gouge us for the remaining 20%. Calling a duck a duck. #auspol

Undoubtedly also the case in Australian newsrooms including at the ABC, the national broadcaster. All that talk of the imperative of displaying "impartiality" while oozing pro-Israel bias from every pore. Unforgivable. #auspol #FreePalestine www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

Our politicians aren’t stupid. They’re captured. But of course, if you never criticise them, and keep voting for them, everything should work out fine.

In a multicultural society, there is unequivocally no room for racism, especially in politics. If allegations against Peter Dutton hold true, he is unfit for leadership. Australia deserves a Prime Minister who embodies inclusivity and respect for all. NoRacism blakandblack.com/2025/02/17/a...

Australia’s long-term average interest rate (1969–2024) is 4.3%, and we’re now below that. The real issue isn’t interest rates, it’s house prices rising faster than wages.

We do NOT have an antisemitism crisis in Australia. What we DO have is the deliberate welding of antisemitism and anti-Israel protests into one hate crime to divert attention from Australia's complicity in Israel's genocide of Palestinians. And we've had an Islamophobia crisis for DECADES. #auspol

The media has focused more on polling in the past 2 days than it has on policy for the entire past 3 years. Journalists get incredibly excited about the horse race. Means they don't have to do any work.

The PM is making an extraordinary intervention to protect foreign-owned salmon farming companies, driving an endangered species to extinction. He's ignoring the science & torpedoing a long-awaited review of the damage being wreaked upon Macquarie Harbour. @eloise-carr.bsky.social on ABC News:

Creative Australia ditching Khaled Sabsabi as our representative at the Venice Biennale is an extraordinary denial of artistic freedom by our supposedly leading & independent arts advocate. A week ago Sabsabi said he thought the honour "wouldn’t happen because of who I am.” Turns out he was right.

So glad Labor had the guts to say no to AUKUS, avoiding a scenario where we'd now be handing billions of dollars over to a country run by a narcissistic psychopath who would sell us to China or Russia or whoever for a back rub.
