“the science is clear: no fossil fuel projects can be opened if the world is to avoid catastrophic climate change. “Despite this, a slew of polluting gas projects are either poised to begin operating in Australia, or lie firmly in the sights of industry.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06... #auspol

Australia needs to do the same. It especially needs to dump #AUKUS. Australia should not be allied with, and our ADF should not be integrated into the US military while it careens into a fascist dictatorship. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Greg Brown from The Oz asks Albanese "do you think that China is a national security threat to Australia?" What a bullshit question (Albanese essentially said that as well)

Once more for those up the back: no. A grand total of 80,000 Australians have super balances of $3m or above, 85% of whom are over 60. The hysteria around these tweaks is simultaneously illuminating and laughable.

Dear Australian Govt Perhaps it’s time to explain to the Australian people why we are allied to a country whose President is threatening to lock up elected officials who disagree with him. Also why we are paying $360bn for nothing and receiving tariffs from same country. We are all keen to know.

#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...

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

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
