Never forget ##TemuTrump is a cunt.

Watch as Labor gets more scrutiny over $8.5b for health than Dutton gets over his $600b nuclear fiasco. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

WTH is wrong with America ?

Excellent work. Very good to see the Australian government speaking truth to power (Trump). #auspol #Ukraine

What TF is this cockamamie nuclear propagandic shytefokery? ‘Port Augusta community reveal local sport clubs won’t survive without construction of nuclear power station’ 🙄 If clubs aren’t surviving now - pretty sure the 15-20 yr wait for a nuclear facility & bad accounting will see their demise.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Another reminder of why Dutton is unfit to be the PM.. The list keeps on growing, now at 85. Pretty sure there are hundreds more reasons over this miscreant’s entire career in politics. & let’s not forget his stint in the QLD police force 💩 independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Can it get any better than this? Around 6.30pm Thurs: Daily Telegraph gets put to bed, with a #NewsCorpse wet dream front page: 12,500 Muslim immigrants "fast tracked" for citizenship so, it's implied, they can vote Labor. ↙️ 7.40pm (see red arrow): story blown out of the water by rival SMH. ↘️ 🤌

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

❤️ it Baz

The Guardian Australia r now quoting “YouGov” polling in its latest report re “interest rate alone will not affect people’s vote” Why the fk are news sources -even supposedly credible news sources - quoting a substandard & proven biased poll? Particularly a poll privately owned in ANOTHER COUNTRY

PM Albanese lashes Clive Palmer for spending over $100mill “to deliver one Senate seat with a bloke who sits in the corner & just engages in conspiracy theories”🔥#auspol

It's upto us fellas.

Yep. Such people are just narcissists who adopt pig ignorant public contrarianism in lieu of a personality. They are obviously political fools of no insight or relevance and I am grateful that I can block them and consign them to the silence they deserve. #auspol

Hey, if Russia and the US can just arbitrarily decide to hold peace talks about Ukraine without Ukraine, can anyone? Because, fuck it, I’m hereby declaring *myself* host of a #BlueskyUkrainePeaceTalk and I vote Russia gets the fuck out Ukraine immediately. Who’s in?

If you are concerned about the rise of the far right but spending your days hammering strongest group on the centre-left, you don’t seem that concerned about the rise of the far right. You seem to be a fucking idiot.

Say wha….????? Erherm …now I’ll go slowly, “Corruption Watchdog….. after mistake” Body charged with , essentially, one thing, to identify corrupt action whether by design or default( mistakes)…is found to have made a mistake Was it a corrupt mistake ???? Oh …nothing to see here you say ???

New numbers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that real wages have now grown for five consecutive quarters under the Albanese Labor Government. This is a stark contrast to the Liberals, where real wages fell in the five quarters in the lead up to the election. #auspol #ausecon

#auspol gravy train back on track.

Extraordinary arrogance by NACC Commr Brereton to still refuse to resign even after being humiliated by eminent person Geoffrey Nettle KC who overturned NACC’s Robodebt decision after Brereton breached his own Act in an attempt to let his friend Kathryn Campbell off the hook🤬

It really is that simple #dickson #qldpol #auspol

Geoff Chambers in The Australian claiming that our preferential voting system "favours Labor". Did the system favour Labor in 1961 when they won the primary vote by 5.8% and lost the election?

LNP when there’s a .25% interest rate increase ‘a $70 increase on repayments will crush consumers’ LNP when there’s a .25% interest rate decrease ‘a $70 decrease on repayments won’t help much’ So which is it you idiots? #auspol

When you consider the favourable #auspol media coverage Dutton gets for doing bugger all except dogwhistling & stoking culture wars, you begin to understand why Australia must have an RC into Murdoch & the conga-line of corporates skewing the vote in this country. #MediaRC

I WANT NAMES!

‘Liberal party caught funding fossil fuel lies’ While the Libs & Advance hve denied for yrs they are connected - we now know that the Libs are Advance’s biggest funder. Advance uses these funds to spread lies, misinformation & fossil fuel propaganda. theklaxon.com.au/liberal-part...

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) policy on gig workers aims to provide "employee-like" gig workers, such as rideshare drivers and food delivery riders, with minimum workplace standards and protections through legislation, essentially ensuring they are not left without basic rights1/2

I am posting these ALP policies because you don't get them acknowledged in the media alp.org.au/news/albanes...

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02... who was the editor behind this headline ? Another Murdoch cowboy ? Do better abc

Absolute nonsense being published in the national broadsheet. The preferential system doesn't *favour Labor*, it favours voters' choices. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/polit...

For anyone pretending Labor's first term has been a do-nothing government here's the proof you're wrong and you're probably far too reliant on Murodch and other RW media johnmenadue.com/the-governme...

Brereton is a disgrace, covering up for mates? #auspol In October, the commission’s oversight body found NACC chief Paul Brereton engaged in “officer misconduct” after he mistakenly failed to remove himself entirely from deliberations.

Bad News for Peter Dutton as RBA says it will cut interest rates. This confirms rates started going UP under the LNP & only started coming Down under Labor (like inflation). After their Trillion dollar Debt & no surplus for a decade, LNP are now economic hacks in every measure.

‘The National Anti-Corruption Commission has announced it will investigate the six individuals referred to the body after the robodebt royal commission following an independent review.’ About bloody time! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#auspol The Australian economy has gone from 91st in world under the awful inept liberals to 2nd best under Labor!
