Are you struggling to pay your bills? Because the gas industry isn't. Gas companies exported $149 billion worth of Australian gas, and paid ZERO royalties. How is that fair? #auspol Add your name to the petition to make them pay their fair share of royalties > theaus.in/collect_gas_...

When the media reports that Dutton "wrongly says" they SHOULD report "Liberal Leader Peter Dutton deliberately LIED" (given Dutton served as Home Affairs Minister and KNOWS that people must be lawful residents for 4yrs before they can even apply for citizenship and then vote.) #auspol #AusVotes2025

"That ‘multibillion’ industry? Well, according to the ATO it’s paid no tax since 2019. It did sell $4 billion worth of fish, yes. But profits went off-shore." Great piece from @amyremeikis.bsky.social, originally published in our fortnightly newsletter, then shared with @thenewdaily.bsky.social.

The Bardi Jawi People live by 'aarnja', an ethos of what is mine is yours, ensuring nobody misses out, that everyone has a fair share, which extends to how one can reciprocate. It is applied to everything from food to boats to one's time nit.com.au/22-02-2025/1...

Amidst all the criticism of the ABC, a reminder of why the public broadcaster is essential: a very good story by Wimmera ABC journo Julia Bergin on electoral office rorts lets by MP Anne Webster. Local regional media would be too sacred to touch this story www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

I've given this a second viewing, this morning with my daughter. So worth your time to watch ALL of it. I really wish the #ALP would be brave & give us what we need to make the most of Australia's wealth. There are elections coming up federally & in NSW. @jimchalmers.bsky.social #AusPol

Curious how poison baiting for foxes on public land in northwest Victoria avoids killing threatened and protected wilkerr (dingoes) in the same area? The Unprotection Order for wilkerr in this region was recently removed. It is illegal to kill wilkerr unless a permit is issued.

Remember all those platitudes after the child abuse Royal Commission about how we as a society were going to treat victim-survivors of institutional abuse better? Read Rick Morton in The Saturday Paper today. I shake my head in utter disbelief. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

On January 18, 1788 Great Britain established an off shore detention centre in the Pacific. It is this tradition, which we still enthusiastically follow, that we celebrate for some unfathomable reason on the 26th. #auspol #australiaday25

Violence against women is not the exception. It’s normal. Yet manhater is a common insult, while womanhater is a term never used. Odd, that. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Today’s sell of #Dutton by the #SMH tells us Dutton’s front bench ‘delivers gender parity with Labor’. Sneaky little sell when the big picture is only 31%of #LNP pollies are women whereas #Labor has 53% women.

Honestly guys. I dunno how many times you gotta be told not to use “our” in relation to discussing Aboriginal people. YOU DON’T OWN US FFS.

It is so frustrating to hear people scream "we need tax reform" over and over but when Labor say right let's look at CGT, negative gearing, franking credits, superannuation concessions, it's "but not my tax perks." Sick of it. #auspol
