Tasmanian Aboriginal resistance warriors battled against overwhelming power, but have no recognition Tasmania was the scene of the most organised and violent attempt to destroy Aboriginal culture, but there is no recognition of those who resisted the overwhelming colonial power. #auspol

Australia, as you well know Queensland holds the title for the most corrupt politicians of all time. When I read a politician boasting about people crossing borders to vote it sounds massive alarms & reminds us of the Qld Joh-mander era. Full investigation needed here. #auspol

When these blokes are telling you the state of Israel is wrong you need to listen. Shows just how out of touch @albomp.bsky.social is from being on the just side of the Gaza conversation. No more mealy mouthing and kowtowing to Israel, Albo. Time for action. #auspol #gaza

#Auspol We need to end the dirty deals done by MPs and Senators whilst in office with Defence Industries etc that see them land jobs after leaving Parliament. Look how many from the Coalition are making money from AUKUS..Christopher Pyne helps Defence companies get deals with Government.

Surely the Australian tax payer is entitled to a detailed explanation about what this new #ALP gov think the #AUKUS benefits and deliverables are. “Defence Partnership” doesn’t cut the mustard. #Auspol

Average age of Members in The Liberal Party in VIC is 68, membership is less than 9k. One of their biggest weekly expenses are funeral wreaths an insider said. NSW is no better, but the wreaths are cheaper. #auspol #BinNight

When it comes to having an East Coast domestic gas reservation policy, or not, it’s Japan, Singapore and Korea that call the shots. Newly minted Industry Minister Tim Ayres just didn’t get the memo. #auspol

When I said before the election that I would fight for every vote, the last month is not quite what I had in mind! Thank you for the support from inside and outside Goldstein, and to my incredible volunteers who have been scrutineering day in, day out. 🧵

Vast areas of Australia will be uninsurable. theconversation.com/nsw-is-again... #Auspol Even if you're in a safe area, premiums will rise because the Insurers need to stay solvent. Insurers used to make they money back during 'mild' years between bad years. We don't have mild years any more.

We knew duttons nuclear plan was bs from the beginning, now @albomp.bsky.social has reached the same depths of deceptive lies. A must read history by Tim Baxter shows us the truth about gas industry. #auspol

Still, the Minns ALP is happy to hike tolls on a bridge we paid off in the ’80s. Why? Because, somehow the state is broke & modestly taxing coal & gas polluters is “communist,” … but squeezing drivers on tolls is “free enterprise.” #auspol #nswpol

#BackbenchBarnaby (via conduit Vikki Campion) gives his first, seething post-demotion missive. He doesn't disappoint. "Two new shadow assistant ministers haven't even given a maiden speech!" he whined via Vikki. But they won't stagger into Question Time, Barn. 🥴 So there's that. #auspol

Just for O.S. friends - the Australian Prime Minister does NOT have the power to pardon anyone This power is reserved for the Crown - for a miscarriage of justice. AND the Royal prerogative of mercy does not overturn a conviction. Your system of government is cooked You might want to look at that

I truly hope Laura gets her wish but I don't hold out much hope with a Govt that has to coin a phrase to describe what it is doing as "progressive patriotism". Patriotism, as quoted many times, is the last refuge of the scoundrel. FFS, leave that to the MAGAs #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

For governments which boast of their friendship with Israel, the mass starvation and forcible displacement of two million people — which cannot be rationalised as part of a conflict with Hamas — may prove to be a bridge too far. #auspol #Gaza
