Should apply some good old-fashioned police questioning tactics to Const. Spud.

When newspapers began shutting down in big numbers a decade ago, it was hoped that moving online would broaden news diversity and ownership. Sadly, the opposite has happened, research by @australiainstitute.org.au‬ has found. bsky.app/profile/aust...

Dutton had claimed that sacking the 41,000+ public servants would save the Govt $30B and he'd use this to fund his other campaign promises. So, where does that funding come from now? Dutton is both incompetent and dangerous. 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes25 #DicksonVotes #DumpDutton

Is she incompetent or just a liar? Either way, she should have been excluded during the vetting process. Next thing you know, she'll be outted as an NZ/Italian, etc, citizen 🤔 Don't ever give the LNP your vote ... this is what you'll get!

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04... A political communications expert described the pro-gas group's activities as a textbook example of astroturfing – a public relations strategy in which vested interests set up an artificial grassroots organisation to influence public opinion about an industry or issue.

Ah, yes, former minister Andrew Robb, who signed off on the deal and then quit politics to work for the new owners. Sadly, 3 yrs later, quit this $880k job as the deadline loomed for lobbyists for overseas state interests to sign up to Australia’s new foreign influence

“Researchers at the Per Capita think-tank say Australians are still living with the consequences of severe wage stagnation from 2012 to 2022.” Who was in government through this period? Who was a senior cabinet member? Who would return us to Gina’s dream of low wages in a heartbeat? #AusPol

Could politicians just STOP? Another dickhead caught fabricating posts on his own social media. If you can't win with policies and truth, you shouldn't be there. Grow up. Man up. Do your jobs. #auspol #Election25 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

"The subversion of democracy by capitalism and vested interest means that to some extent all parties are subsumed by this dynamic." One vote, one value. End all donations and lobbying. Publicly fund elections.

Dutton plans to cut 40,000 jobs from health, education and veterans' affairs depts! Under the previous Coalition Govt, there was a backlog of 40,000+ veterans' compensation claims that the Labor Govt finally cleared by Feb24. Dutton's contempt for veterans is obscene. #auspol #AusVotes25 #defence
