#AusPol | 4.0 | #D7 When I first read this article under a month ago, I was admittedly lukewarm on the idea. I increasingly consider D7 to be an outcome that #AusGov should actively pursue. Provided it is open to all countries with high democracy ratings. #Democracy

Journalists are woefully detached from the subjective narratives they spin, especially evident when they are drumming up war with China: 'Pulp Fiction: The fantastical nature of Australian journalism' #auspol @abcnewsnetau.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/joeljenk...

Honest Q - Not commenting on merits here, but... Is the former PM being recognised in today's honours list as much about former PMs being recognised as 'matter of course' (so to speak), and covid a lucky reason to hang it off? #AusPol

Real incomes increase again in latest quarterly figures as income shifts from wealthiest to poorest. 'Australia recorded 14 consecutive quarters of positive growth & 17 quarters of annual growth — the only economy in the OECD to achieve this' #auspol independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Like in Palestine, journalists are now a target in the USA There's no doubt US authorities deliberately shot the 9 reporter to stop news coverage of the event Other Australians R getting cavity searched @ US airports @albomp.bsky.social, you must issue stronger travel warnings for the USA #auspol

The ABC has now replaced “Peter Dutton says” with “the opposition is putting pressure on the government”. FFS!! Give it a rest #auspol

We should tax billionaires the same way they become “billionaires” By taxing the unrealised gains that make up their vast “wealth” If you can use it for leverage to borrow more & become mega rich then we can tax it to redistribute resources where they are needed

The US should be kicked out of the UN, the G7, the G20 and WEF. Now.

Quick question. If you can play an AFL game at the tiny and very basic Bunbury football ground then why does Tasmania need to build a billion dollar roofed stadium to play games?!??

I don’t want to speak for all Australians but I think I speak for the majority of us when I say James Patterson should just shut the fuck up for a while.

Brilliant reading. Great job Shiannon. What a despicable person he was and is. This piece should be required reading for all school students. We don't need anyone like him again in Australian politics ever again. #auspol #Morrison #narcissistic

#theirABC & Jane Norman claiming that #IPA spokesboy Paterson “putting pressure” on @albomp.bsky.social ahead of anticipated meeting with #KingDonald aka #HerrTrumpf. What an absolute bollocks of pumping up the irrelevant #LNP tires #auspol

Less than six months into Trump 2.0 and the army is already being used as a political tool to suppress dissent. We need to structurally distance ourselves from the US military.

#auspol This is a story of fiction and fantasy. Fabricated by Newscorpse to push the latest neoconjob of "Success mindset". It's another version of "prosperity gospel" peddled by the most of honorable Scummo AO "avagogetago". Just another reason to avoid the old man murdoch paper dribble rags.

Swimming pool in the winter? Yes please says little Jilya ❤️ The most beautiful thing about our little doggies is that they truly live in the moment. It’s why it’s so wonderful to be around them.

I'd love to see Tasmania in the AFL. But there's a lot of footy people blithely dismissing the considerable objections to the insistence on a new stadium as part of the deal without bothering to understand them. They should definitely read this piece.

Scott Morrison is almost certainly one of the “Robodebt Six” referred to the NACC for criminal and civil action. In Australia we don’t pursue him: we rig the NACC, refuse to investigate…then award him with honours. “Decision” still nowhere… (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/government-r...

I’m going to need to know which idiot nominated Scott Morrison for an Order of Australia (was it Jenny?), and how the 19 members of the Council for the Order of Australia thought it was a good idea to award him a prize. Makes a mockery of the entire award.

I've been paying tax for 45 years. How about the fossil fuel companies start? Then we can afford this & much more. Why do you let them rip stuff out with no benefit for our country? @australianlabor.bsky.social
