America does NOT have a monopoly on rigging elections. Welcome to Australia ...

The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

👀 There are reports Labor may adopt the Greens 'GP for free' plan tomorrow! I hope they do: it will make a huge difference for people struggling to afford healthcare. Pressure works. This is what voting Greens delivers: we keep Dutton out and get Labor to act.

youtu.be/ztJ2YXFBbFY?... Smart young podcaster. I’m promoting as many of these honest independent news outlets as I can.

Too late now, Fox. Too late.

“The US film industry is collapsing.” You can’t make feel good movies when no one feels good. Add to the list: the airline industry, the education system, the postal service, the welfare system, the public healthcare system, law enforcement, the legal system, the …

Feb 20, 2025: "I'll just give it all to Putin."

There are three agendas in the US: 1. The Trump pro-Putin traitorous one 2. The Project 2025 cult one 3. The tech-billionaire-media one They've been at war with each other since election day. But the third is costing MAGA voters their jobs, their businesses and their health. It will not end well.

Australia is the third-largest fossil fuel exporter in world, making climate change worse, which is driving up our cost of living. Climate & Energy Principal Advisor @markogge.bsky.social went on Triple M Radio this morning to explain the link. #auspol

878 million tonnes of emissions, fuelling the climate crisis. That's what the Labor Government has given the greenlight to as the Scarborough Gas project gets approved. Make no mistake: this is a climate crime.
