“We stand, unequivocally, with Ukraine.” - @albomp.bsky.social #Ukraine 💙🦋 #auspol

Enjoying planting out Autumn Winter vegetables in the #edibles #garden today. Zucchini & tomatoes still fruiting, olive tree growing quickly. Climate change= lots of mulch

this wont age well

LNP have told us exactly what they’ll do if they’re elected this year. Elect Dutton. Get Trump. It’s as clear as that #auspol

Absolutely. Rock solid. Unlike the gangster camarilla now running the US.

Ruled out for adult perpetrators of violence against women but ruled in for kids in Victoria #anklebracelets

When #Auspol says it couldn’t happen here, just remember how many #LNP politicians have characterised Dutton as a Bully

Every time something major happens Dutton goes AWOL. He’s Morrison on steroids. Not a leader. #auspol #ausvotes

Hamas says there are no current talks on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire and that Israel is evading its commitment to ending the war and withdrawing completely from the enclave. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/bkb81b

Australian gas for Australians first https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/australian-gas-for-australians-first/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=australian-gas-for-australians-first #Auspol

A far too regular & relevant reminder that there's nothing we can do about the US - but there's a lot we can do to make sure it doesn't happen to us There are 35 community independent candidates running in electorates Aust-wide who need your support 🙌 🙌 Look #auspol >>> linktr.ee/CommunityInd...

Australia needs to pull out of #AUKUS now! The $billions lost atm will be nothing compared to what we might lose

Australia really needs to withdraw from #AUKUS. Trump doesn't even know what it is. What an expensive scam. We can't rely on the US as an ally anymore. Trump will sell us out to Moscow as quickly as he did Zelenskyy. We need a Plan B. #auspol

In December 2024, the Department of Health & Aged Care awarded nearly $1.5 billion in contracts to private operators under the Single Assessment System to conduct aged care assessments. Worryingly, some of these operators also provide aged care services. A clear conflict of interest. #auspol

Global gas lobby tries to hamper Victoria's electrification efforts by stoking fear, researchers say www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Dutton says if he had done a dodgy deal, he wouldn’t have declared it. Dutton has again dismissed speculation of insider knowledge of the bank bailout during the GFC. Because he knows if you steal something never try & give it back, because you get caught out. Like he has been. #auspol

#Breaking Albo has announced a $25m solar for residents initiative to be fully-funded by the Commonwealth government, but rolled out with the NSW government. ‘This will provide co-funding to owners, corporations and Strata managers to install shared rooftop solar systems … A win-win situation.’

Good idea - how about it @markbutlermp.bsky.social

Where does Israel hold Palestinians detained from Gaza? More than 10,000 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank are held in Israeli jails, as well as thousands more from Gaza, says the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and other orgs. 🟥 Read more: aje.io/ar9mhj

Mother had carer’s allowance stopped while with disabled daughter in hospital www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

To many, smart-home devices seem like a luxury or a novelty, but for anyone who lives with a disability, smart devices are a powerful enabler. These simple-to-use devices can be set up to take care of daily tasks.

“I had no idea it was THIS bad!” We’ve all heard this from a friend or family member who becomes chronically ill. Despite watching us suffer for years, they never understand until it happens to them. Please listen to disabled people. It IS that bad. Protect your health. There’s no do overs.

I commend them, what great role models #leadership

The idea of a Gina Rinehart Govt in Australia — sorry, typo: a Dutton Coalition Govt — terrifies me. Perhaps their campaign slogan will be "What's yours is mine." 😏 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #AussieOligarchy

They’re telling us they’ll be the same as Trump!! #auspol

Mr Dutton your shares are showing! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

I fear of #COVID reinfection. I'm immunocompromised by multiple brain stem strokes (a status seemingly ignored by our Health Minister @markbutlermp.bsky.social), my husband is a #DisabilitySupportWorker - exposed each day. I wear n95 outside - without #publichealthaction #strokesurvivors are #atrisk

Hung parliament could see crossbench seek NACC reforms after backflip on robodebt decision www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The National Anti-Corruption Commission's (NACC) investigation into the robodebt scandal needs to be public and the six people at the centre of claims should be named, says @helenhainesindi.bsky.social www.wangarattachronicle.com.au/politics-and...

Peter Dutton’s nuclear accounting trick #3: Hide the costs of keeping coal #auspol reneweconomy.com.au/peter-dutton...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

Very key point made here. Any "shortage" is due solely to exports. We don't need more gas, we need to send less to Japan which has so much it exports our gas to other countries! (also worth charging the companies to mine our gas and also to tax them properly) www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

How can Dutton get it so wrong?

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Israel has violated the ceasefire in Gaza 266 times since it came into effect on January 19, killing at least 132 people, Palestinian security sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dh48s1

Wonderful to join Senator Steele-John at Curtin Uni for O-Day - students want action on cost of living and climate, especially on a scorching day like today!

And imagine being such a narcissist that you don't get it

What is unrealistic about voting out the duopoly. Already 33% of voters didn’t vote for them in 2022. It is unrealistic to continue to support the duopoly that both support War crimes in Gaza & Zionist infiltration of our Govt, #AUKUS, #PRRT #Poverty at 13% of our population #auspol

Peter Dutton can’t explain how his nuclear scheme will work because he knows the plan isn’t thought through. The experts have told us: ⏰ It will take too long. 💰 It’ll cost $600 billion. ⬆️ It will push up bills. This scheme is too risky for Australia.

If Dutton were to explain how his nuclear plan works, *it wouldn't work*. As @adammorton.bsky.social lays out nicely here, Dutton has left out meaningful info for a nuclear strategy. Just enough of a mirage to sustain a noisy debate on something that won't happen (and he won't try to make happen)

Major positive step towards better protections for whistleblowers. The legislation I seconded last week has been referred to a Senate Inquiry. Make a submission here: www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

So many victims have predeceased Ridsdale. Thoughts, always, with their families, and those who still manage the trauma of what he did to them and the church’s catastrophic failure in creating more victims by allowing him to be moved to yet more parishes. www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victori...

@australianlabor.bsky.social should be ensuring that people of all religious backgrounds are protected. The focus on #antisemitism is not enough www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe...
