what a tragedy this is... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Keating on Marles' effort at the Murdochs' "sleazy" conference: "A moment when an Australian Labor Government intellectually ceded Australia to the United States as a platform for the US and by implication, Australia, for military engagement against the Chinese state" johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

The Environmental Protection Agency has drafted a plan to eliminate all limits on greenhouse gases from coal and gas-fired power plants in the U.S., according to internal agency documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Jacinta, the Price is right, said her defection to the Liberal party was also about bringing more accountability and integrity to the party. 😳 #auspol #SundayShot #insiders

Perhaps Albo will feel secure enough to start growing a spine now.

Hey Dutton, we haven’t forgotten your attacks on Welcome to Country ceremonies. Don’t treat Australians like fools. You walked out on the apology, and destroyed a generation worth of reconciliation with your No campaign based on cruel lies. This is your legacy. You can’t undo it now.

Fancy thinking Pezzullo was what you needed to get Australia back on track.

Michaelia Cash says the ALP government is soft, allowing organised crime to flourish. Meanwhile the Coalition IS organised crime. Water deals, carparks, colour-coded spreadsheets, known criminals getting visas to launder money through rich mates' casinos, "high rollers" club. et al. #auspol

🤣🤣🤣 #ShadySukkar opens up with a classic LNP backflip on work from home arrangements. Then bullshits about negative gearing. He should go for the trifecta and refer to his diabolical record on housing. 🔵🏠📉💰 #LNPNeverAgain #DeakinDeserveBetter #insiders #auspol

Who ever you’re voting for, ask them what they’re doing about men’s violence against women (& men). They should know it’s a priority to you & they need to allocate funding & have effective policies. #Auspol #Ausvotes 📸@kkarapanagiotidis.bsky.social

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

Holy Shit - we are in 2025 and the Liberal leader STILL can't say the worsening weather we are seeing is because of climate change. "I am not a scientist" Fuck me.

Well, Harry, tell your greedy & nasty Father, to sell 1 or 2 of his investment properties & you too can afford to live down around Kirribilli. Otherwise, CRY ME A FUCKING RIVER! You’re just as fucking tin eared as your greedy, nasty & feckless Father. REALLY! The LNP, EH? apple.news/AT81m3ip1QH2...

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

It’s no longer safe for Australians to go to America. This is insane. We ALL have American friends. Mine are like family. Dear god.

1st LNP candidate for Whitlam: Women shouldn’t serve in the Military. Replaced. 2nd candidate: Abortions should be criminal & ‘Marxist brainwashing’ occurs in Australian schools. The ‘quality’ after a 3 year search, the Libs provide. *Of course both are middle aged white men #Ausvotes #Auspol

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04... Shit article from the ABC. If they want to be funny they should write for chaser

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Angus Taylor stuns at National Press Club

Thanks Dutton it was nice

They love this “run the government like a business” canard coz it conjures images of efficiency and accountability. The reality is, it’s about increasing profits for the few over the wellbeing of the many. If the government operated the way a business does, the citizenry should rightfully revolt.

We're hearing that Monash Vice Chancellor Sharon Pickering personally made the decision to cancel Khaled Sabsabi's exhibition after a phone call from Sarah Henderson. Care to comment, @monashuniversity.bsky.social? It would behove you respond as your reputation implodes...

It's also worth remembering, Dutton's usual tactics are to say something outrageous that has zero substance to it, provoke a headline that then gets the Karls and the Speersies of the world all frothy-mouthed so they have content to fill their desperate air time with. (see Agenda Setting Theory)

The Budget should include a massive and historic increase in funding for research. Not only is it needed, but we really should be poaching ever medical and scientific researcher from the US we can. Absolutely perfect timing.

Stop Killing Women - a set of national rallies being held on Sat March 15 2025 around Australia. Check google or instagram > www.instagram.com/sherelemoody... for details on your nearest city or town's events, they're happening everywhere. Make your voice heard. Stop killing women. #SheMatters

Multitasking like a champion. Laying in cyclone supplies and supporting Canada.

This is Oakley, Kaos, and Charlie. They are proof that if you like something, you should get it in a couple colors. 13/10 for all

It is both telling and alarming that it has taken an independent member of parliament to state the obvious - except that @zoedaniel.bsky.social also brings considerable expertise to the subject www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
