Bring. It. On.

So according to the Shadow Attorney General Michaelia Cash, if Peter Dutton is elected, his To Do List includes pardoning convicted criminals who attacked police, pulling out of our Paris Climate commitment, invading Gaza & backing murderous dictator Vladimir Putin. #auspol

Labor’s economic miracle! While other developed countries have seen unemployment go up, wages come down, inflation still out of control, debt spiralling and services being cut, in Australia Labor has delivered more jobs, wage increases, lower debt, tax cuts & MORE SERVICES!

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

Zelenskyy has a higher approval rating than Trump and Elon Musk. Pass it on.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Israeli war chief creates office to arrange 'voluntary exit' of Palestinians from #Gaza Israel is pressuring Palestinians to permanently leave Gaza after laying waste to large swathes of the strip and making it almost uninhabitable due to 15 months of bombing thecradle.co/articles/isr...

. "Creative Australia’s ED told staff at an angry meeting on Monday that the public outcry would have been greater than the one he now finds himself embroiled in, if #Sabsabi exhibition had gone ahead". If that's his reasoning Collette is obliged to say who is behind the outcry, where it came from.

Please share this great video by the @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social. It is important that their voices are heard. 🕊️💙🦋 #auspol

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

We’re over represented in prisons which we die in, and the political conversation about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is that the major opposition don’t want to stand in front of our flags and think that money shouldn’t be spent on Welcome to Country ceremonies. Welcome to Australia.

In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing. I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This. Inserting political manipulation into creative arts NEVER works. Especially when the people doing it are obviously idiots. #asupol

Self-inflicted wound...

'There is growing discussion in the opposition about how to divide spoils of victory' They're not even in yet and they're at it again - plotting, squabbling & backstabbing rather than actually governing. #auspol

"Attorneys, he said, 'don’t resign because you disagree with the policies, but because you are being asked to do something you believe is ethically, morally or legally improper'...” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Oh eff off Peter Dutton. Just another LIE. Labor is NOT the ‘political arm of the union movement’. The union movement has its own agenda that is WAY more worker-oriented than anything Labor might come up with. Just ask @sallymcmanus.bsky.social and @michelleoneal.bsky.social #auspol #JoinYourUnion

"Like any Labor leader, Albanese is up against a political class that is relentlessly anti-Labor. The media, meanwhile, cut Dutton the sort of slack no Labor leader would ever be accorded, and he's cruising along on a non-agenda of thought bubbles and bluster." tdunlop.substack.com/p/we-interru...

Oh, my! Someone is not going to like this cover!! 😂😂 #Trump

The timeline for Creative Australia's reputation-ending dumping of Khaled Sabsabi:-

Surprise! YouGov is a British-owned private company FOR PROFIT. Not, as the name implies, connected to the govt. So, there is profit to be made predicting outcomes, especially if certain ppl pay lots for it. Shame on the abc for sucking this sh*t take up like cool aid. theaimn.net/yougov-no-im...

"Former home affairs boss says Australia should take leaf out of Trump administration's book" Bizarre that ABC news is taking a leaf out of the #MurdochGutterMedia playbook, and assisting the 'rehabilitation' of a disgraced and dangerous former bureaucrat. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Newscorp's Cairo Takeaway stunt backfired - Wendy Bacon investigates frontman & prolific Israel activist Ofir Birenbaum #auspol #antisemitism michaelwest.com.au/newscorp-ofi...

israeli soldiers tied explosives & a fuse round 80yr-old Palestinian man’s neck to use as a human shield & shot him & his wife dead after 8hrs. This was the testimony of the soldier to israeli media. This is the scum our govt don’t want us to criticise #auspol www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-is...

Privatising housing supply, which had previously been at least 25% by government, then encouraging the already housed and wealthy to invest in properties, sweetened with personal tax benefits such as negative gearing and discounted capital gains tax. Yes, Howard's LNP government was to blame!

I hope we can successfully fight this off.

America.

Sometimes I feel the LNP forget that they’re already a coalition and the Liberals cannot govern in their own right. #auspol

Such a good point
