Abbie Chatfield sits down with PM Albo. An excellent listen if you are undecided or not a pollie watcher. 🙌🔥 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/p...

Abbie Chatfield is absolutely slaying right now. She’s fully come into her power, and embraced it. Her voice has given visibility to issues to a demographic of Aussies that nobody would usually bother to try and reach. Well done, Abbie! #auspol @abbiechatfield.bsky.social

This is such a great podcast. Thank you Abbie Chatfield for putting every jaded cynical journalist to shame with this relaxed, informed, sparkling discussion with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese! #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“While America appears to be steadily marching towards a breakdown in civil governance, their lunacy seems to have prompted exactly the opposite response elsewhere.” theaimn.net/the-art-of-l...

I’m happy to report signs of a Labor government. #AusPol

The major parties don't have the moral courage to protect the people and places we love. This election is an opportunity to vote for a candidate who will. Minority govt may be the only thing that forces the Govt to put 🇦🇺ns ahead of vested interests. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

These are just the statements on record. Do you trust these people, #auspol? Whose songsheet are they singing from?

Gave this a listen and it is excellent. Lots of data driven analysis on voting trends and electoral seats. I hope they continue beyond the election. #auspol

Into my archives again. I really need to go birding. The summer heat has kept me home. I need a road trip. Anyway, here's a bluebonnet parrot near Port Wakefield from a few years ago. I have some reliable spots for these birds - but they are extremely skittish. Challenging to get photos of them.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Terrific from James Curran AFR & Mick Ryan SMH today. - The US cannot be relied on. - We have to face this & establish real defence self-reliance. (Me: AUKUS, a rubbish Morrison thought bubble unwisely embraced by Albo & Marles, can’t survive this.) #auspol

Was late to work this morning because I was sitting in my car sobbing about the angler fish seeing the sun before she died. It’s made me cry for a week. This world is so beautiful and so precious and we’ve handed so much of its future over to billionaires who will never be rich enough

Clicked on this expecting to find a paywall but imagine my surprise to discover that it's free...

Birds. Just taking a moment to be grateful for birds. And dips. Everyone loves dips. Dips and birds. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The formidable Knitting Nannas have produced a highly informative video on the merits of minority government...or a house that's 'well hung' 😉 #auspol #climate #climateintegrity @knitnannassyd.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/bLqdo...

We asked a panel of news room editors for their verdict on potential uses of taxpayer money, to clear up the confusion most people have when reading their articles on spending. Read here: chaser.com.au/general-news...

But just now - a stich up is under way.

He’s insane.

#BREAKING 🚨 Anthony Albanese has announced the government is stepping in to support Rex Airlines, which entered voluntary administration in 2024 "We will work to maximise a successful sale…if there is no sale, we will work on contingency plans, including the potential for Commonwealth acquisition"

oh, look what coal-funded "australians for properity" just threw up on the mat — jason falinski. A4P: • CEO: lost seat to the greens (#JulianSimmonds) • spokesperson: lost seat to an independent (#JasonFalinski) • advisory board: #YoungLibs president (#DarcyCreighton)

I’ve just been introduced to a new term for the DOGE boys- the Nerd Reich

AI is bad at a lot of things people trust it to do. Don't.

People keep assuming Trump has some grand strategy when in reality everything he does is based on the fact that he's gobsmackingly ignorant, stupid and venal.

You can ignore climate change. The political system can ignore climate change. But the insurance industry cannot ignore climate change.

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

Love how the Australian govt’s response to the authoritarian overthrow of constitutional law in the US is, like, “we welcome the new gestapo and share their values. Please pat us on the head.”

I’d like to turn the difficulty down on life at the moment, please. No need for nightmare. Story mode is fine.

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾
