More biased bollocks from Murdoch’s @abcaustralia.bsky.social #auspol

#auspol Get us out of that mess fast!

ABC News Breakfast hosts this morning are parroting News Corp's non-story about the PM - "Albanese yet to secure critical meeting". A manufactured narrative which just goes to show how deeply News Corp’s anti-Labor framing infects our public broadcaster. #auspol www.news.com.au/national/pol...

So, he gets formal advice from his Department, a second independent opinion to be sure AND the corruption commission investigates and clears it... while she calls in carpet cleaners to interfere with a crime scene... female misogynist #auspol

The most pointless Lib, Angus Taylor says the Coalition willing to working with Labor on increasing our defence spending. Of course only so the LNP get what they want. Otherwise it's opposition to everything. #auspol #opinion #corymedia www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

@emmashortis.bsky.social telling it like it is here. AUKUS is a disaster for Australia. Trump has given us an out – let’s take it. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

We need to learn to stand on our own two feet. Not a colony of the UK, not an outpost the US. We are fucking Australians and we can take care of our own.

As chair of LR-GAS (Linda Reynolds Grievance Appreciation Society) I regret to inform you all that our dear Linda's latest grievance - Grievance No 4,352 - has been dismissed by the NACC Linda alleged the payment was corrupt or summat, and also she was never asked her opinion . . . I kid you not

Gavin Newsom began his speech as a state governor. He ended it as a potential president - by Adam Nagourney and Laurel Rosenhall #USPolitics www.theage.com.au/world/north-...

Is any of this cauldron of nonsense even legal?

Just to be clear, we are not America’s ally we are its whipping boy. Tariffs for no reason Subs with no guarantees Demands on our budgets We can keep fooling ourselves that we matter to the US so we have a seat at the big kids table but the truth is they are a bully stealing our lunch money.

Premier David Crisafulli doesn't care but human rights lawyer Tom Dixon has addressed the United Nations on the prosecution of Queensland children as adults. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

The China threat was never real The US support was never there The Subs were never coming The $800m was always a loss The rationale was always flawed The value was always fanciful The risk was always betrayal The opportunity was always sovereign capability #DumpAukus

#auspol

Scott is the only PM defending Aukus because no one will have any use for someone that can't even remember to order the vaccines in a pandemic #auspol

Very proud be Australian today. #auspol

Linda Reynolds is still a horrendous creature https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jun/12/linda-reynolds-alleges-mark-dreyfus-had-conflict-of-interest-when-he-signed-off-brittany-higgins-24m-settlement-ntwnfb #News #Auspol

Maybe cool it with the corruption while you're prepping for an election against an unpopular govt, eh? #auspol

LNP Corruption incarnate! #auspol #StopAukus

This is an extraordinary speech, never seen anything like it except in disaster flicks! One for the history books. There are 23 Democratic Governors in the US. If they show this spirit, Trump has no chance of enduring for very long: youtu.be/pXQQNUeb4Sw #union #auspol #solidarity #democracy

I think there must be some #ALP politicians who may be happy with #USA's review of #AUKUS & the possibility of Australia leaving it. #Trump can get fucked if thinks he can tell #Australia to nearly double our #Defense budget, #auspol

#Auspol Yes great

Er err err…. Ah ah, ah…Blah blah… We need a Defence Minister to think outside the square, not a sycophant to America. #auspol

Sorry @fergusonnews.bsky.social there's no way I can enjoy Speers 'in the chair' ..... seeing him once a week accidently on #Insiders is more than enough thank you. #auspol

“This review most definitely makes our allies in Canberra and London concerned, and could cause them to doubt US reliability as an ally and partner,” she said. Duh. #StopAUKUS #auspol www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/a...

So.... ...She's going back for her hat! #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sad so many Australians are believing so easily and well disproven lies and bullshit the billions spent on disinformation against clean transportation has a significant depth toll #auspol #EV www.theguardian.com/environment/...
