Vice Admiral Mead says of #AUKUS “This program is very high risk. We’ve made that clear to government, government has made that clear to the public”. What did he tell Govt? When did Govt tell us? What are the risks? What are the risk mitigation strategies? #FOI #auspol

The Govt’s Employment White Paper absolutely trashed the private sector employment services sector, and yet…

Nobody ever tells me what I can and can’t write, which is why independent media is surging and media controlled by billionaire oligarchs is not. My success or failure is determined by the readers, not by a guy circling the globe in an obscene yacht.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Embarrassing. No tax on tips will never be in this budget. Not happening. Promises made. Not kept.

The entire crew of paid, coordinated right-wing influencers all blasted out this pre-planned lie in unison last night. Rinse, repeat. I guess they think when people don’t have tax free tips/overtime in their paychecks, they might not notice. Good luck with that after you hype it.

David Shoebridge lashes Home Affairs Sec Stephanie Foster’s “rubbish” answers to Questions on Notice revealing answers she provided refer to “other unanswered questions”🤦‍♂️ Shoebridge “before u refer Senators to other questions, do u at least check that you’ve answered them?” youtu.be/209V8H1xWBw?...

While most of the world’s media are distracted by the Trump/Putin love affair, israel sends in the tanks to destroy the rest of Palestine. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

French President Emmanuel Macron says US and Ukraine should be compensated by Russia, not by Ukraine. Russia started the war 👏

“No Australian should have to check their bank balance to see if they can afford to see a doctor. That is not who we are, that is not the future we want." This could be an election winning statement! #auspol #NotDutton #NotLNP www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Students, holidaymakers & conference schedulers: if you or anybody with you in the USA has a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, needs emergency contraception, is unexpectedly pregnant or has a miscarriage in the USA, you might be refused medical service or hospital care even if it kills you.

Up to 40 Australians, headed up by Gina Rinehart & Senate candidate Lachlan Lade (↙️) were at the US Conservative Political Action Confrerence (CPAC) this weekend. Their number included "Mr Everywhere" himself, noted gun nut Barclay McGain. ↘️ Has Barclay taken to cosplaying Hitler (green arrows)?

Negative gearing on more than one property is just plain wrong - as seen here (albeit in a positive light). My personal preference would be to scrap it entirely but too many pollies own property! (Screenshot from Aus WW, March edition)

Hope those Aussie "commentators" (grifters) cheering this sort of evil on under the guise of 'free speech' are particularly proud of themselves right now. 🙄💩🤬

We really need to get out of AUKU$ now. We should never have joined up in the first place.

‘The Albanese Government forked out tens of thousands of taxpayer’s dollars in legal fees to Clayton Utz to resist releasing a Ministerial brief on the prospective extinction of the Maugean Skate. That’s public money not well spent’ #auspol michaelwest.com.au/art-maugean-...

🚨🤔 Hey, Spud! Spreading BS to fertilize hate won't grow a better community! 🌱💔 Accusing Labor of fast-tracking citizenship for Gaza refugees? Come on, mate! No one fleeing the war since 2023 is eligible! Just another election ploy? 🗳️ Let’s focus on unity, not division! StopTheHate #Election2025

The dipshit Zionist is Ofir Birenbaum. The Murdoch journalist who cooked it up is Danielle Gusmaroli. #MediaRoyalCommission #auspol

How the Murdoch Shitigraph tried to whip up social hatred and division, only to have it blow up in their faces. What a disgusting stunt, but typical Murdoch shit.

Here's me. "Trump wants to turn Gaza into a casino resort. Ita Buttrose thinks only an ‘activist’ could object"

ALP govt does not agree with ALP platform. Congrats ALP, you stand for.... ?

If any Australian political party was actually serious about free speech they would have done far more to reform our broken #defamation laws. At one point, @inforrmm.bsky.social wrote that Sydney was the libel (defamation) capital of the world 🌎 😑 🧵 #auslaw #auspol

I mean, why would he? We have spent decades making it clear as a matter of policy that the law will not be applied to those that it is politically or financially inconvenient to hold accountable.

There is one, and ONLY ONE, reason for doomscrolling here to see Trump's latest outrage. And that's to make sure it doesn't happen here. As P.Keating said of Dutton: “a charlatan”, “wicked and cynical” and “an inveterate climate change denialist”.

Today, the Australian reported that Bill Shorten will receive a "shocking" remuneration package of $860k in his new job as VC at the Uni of Canberra. Our research found that the VCs of leading unis in Australia receive on average nearly $1.3 million each year in remuneration. Is this fair?

Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day. Can we finally put the ‘he’s a free speech absolutist!’ BS to bed?

While gun control isn't something most Aussies think of as a big issue, our gun laws aren't keeping up with weapons advancements, putting our community at risk. In fact, there are more guns in Aus now than before the Port Arthur massacre. Dr Alice Grundy on Sky News @alicektg.bsky.social #auspol

Elon Musk is telling Germany not to regret the murder of 6M+ Jews.

Mars IS uninhabited, Australia wasn’t, Sussan. It’s NOT an off-the-cuff remark. It’s NOT just poor judgement. It’s NOT just equivocating an uninhabited planet with an already-habited continent. It ALSO lionises Musk in the wake “the salute”. Way to dog-whistle, Sussan!

If you're busily repeating the latest culture wars bullshit - OMG PETER DUTTON IS BOYCOTTING AUSTRALIA DAY!!!11 - then you might just be part of the culture wars problem. Dutton has always attended the Aust Day ceremony in his seat of Dickson, has done for over 20 years. There. Is. No. "Boycott" 👏🏽

Why the fuck is a single Senate Democrat playing “everything is normal” by voting to confirm the Cabinet picks of a fucking dictator? Do. Not. Comply. You have ALL spent the last how many years calling him Hitler and now you’re like, ‘I’m a yes on Goebbels and here’s why…” Fuck that. Stop it. Now.
