2025 and major industries are still getting away with "the ocean will just absorb all our waste, no worries" www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The change of government in Washington will not herald the scuppering of a ludicrously wasteful project that will cost the Australian taxpayer in the order $400 billion (a modest assessment) for nuclear powered submarines our country does not need … Nor ever will. #AUKUS #auspol

Just think - on this issue Albanese is the one defending insurance companies (and supermarkets and banks and wholesalers and... and..). I can't believe how badly and quickly the govt has ceded all impetus to the opposition. If you don't want to change the country, don't stand as ALP leader.

I genuinely don’t know why Tanya Plibersek even bothers to come in to work in the morning any more. How often has Albanese strayed into her lane by now ? Might as well make himself co-Environment Minister, like Scotty Coalfinger did. www.abc.net.au/news/...

We still have a long way to go in holding the people responsible for the failures of Robodebt, to account - starting with the 57 recommendations by the Royal Commission. It's a public administration catastrophe too damaging to be swept under the rug. #robodebt #auspol

The Albanese Govt has walked away from its nature positive laws, its superannuation changes, taking on big tech, & even the bare minimum of gambling advertising reforms, all to clear the decks ahead of an election where it will try to hold on to power You have to ask what for? To do what? #auspol

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.”

The Govt’s is again protecting industry instead of people. Their scams legislation ignores experts & consumer groups want (a reimbursement model), instead choosing a complicated model that industry wants. I’ll be moving amendments to protect 🇦🇺ns. the-riotact.com/bank-tells-8...

A straight up analysis here of what went so wrong in Federal Parliament this week - turning from action to unify us in fighting hate crimes - into an ugly law and order auction www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/new-fed...

We’ve got two weeks of parliament left to protect & strengthen our democracy ahead of the election. The last thing independents like @katechaneymp.bsky.social & I want to see is a major party stitch up that duds communities seeking better representation. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

Australian uni Vice-Chancellors are among the highest paid in the world. You'll be shocked (*shocked*!!!) to discover that higher pay does not lead to a better student experience. @jack-thrower.bsky.social writes #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-hig...

I’ve had many friends and comrades in the Labor party but increasingly I’m finding myself having less and less of them - not because I’m losing friends but because the party is losing them as members.

I've spent 30 years doing politics on the left. The only commonality over that time was that most of the media is always against you. That is simply the furniture in the room. If you're blaming the media for your predicament, your incompetence managing the actual world is the real problem.

Just a reminder … Australian preferential voting allows you to choose who gets your vote should your first preference not be successful. Make your vote count, don’t vote for the same old shit. #auspol #CarnAustraliaGetYourShitTogether #FuckMurdoch #Greens #Teals youtu.be/bleyX4oMCgM

Labor talk a big game on protecting Nature but consistently end up bowing to vested interests. From supporting native forest logging that costs taxpayers $$ to backing salmon farming that is sending the Maugean skate to extinction. It's a gutless approach. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Does anyone else feel we are approaching our end days, at least in a geological time frame, and I don't mean at the hands of a mythical being, but by our own stupidity?

The AUKUS Retirement Fund. Retirees from the U.S. Navy are being given astronomical sums in consultancy fees to divulge wisdom they do not have on junkets Down Under. The price Australia is paying is already savagely burdensome. It may well, in the long run, prove worse. #auspol #AUKUS
