As @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social set their sights on ‘productivity’ & ‘deregulation’ this term of parliament (oh, so, so neoliberal) …they turn the other cheek to the Great Australian Gas Heist. A nation rich in resources…and poor in political talent 🤦🏻🤷🏼 #auspol

The major parties are losing their grip, and voters are the reason why. Independents and minor parties just overtook the Liberals in primary votes with Labor in sight. This isn’t protest, it’s rejection. And if you keep voting like this, you’ll change the system for good.

It's just struck me that Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison decade is the ATM years...$700 million decade.

Interesting, if you go to the ABC News website, looking under "Politics" or "Australia Votes", there's an article on Liberal Tim Wilson winning the seat of Goldstein. You have to search for the report on community independent Nicolette Boele winning Bradfield from the Liberals! #auspol #AusVotes25

I was diagnosed w/ MS 36 hours after 1st symptom (very unusual) due to the smarts of a shopping mall chain optometrist. After being told I had a migraine by my GP, I stopped in w/ no appointment & he had me in to see a specialist 12 hours later. Here's to committed health professionals everywhere 🙌

House prices are up, again. The housing crisis is putting home ownership further out of reach for millions of renters and first home buyers. To fix this, Labor must end the $176b in tax handouts to wealthy property investors. Housing should be for people, not profit.

Why are we never urged to increase spending on health? Or education? Or disability? Or the aged? It's always about our ability to kill strangers. Why is this moron given any attention or credibility at all? #AusPol #FuckWar

There was a reason lots of folk voted independents and Greens, trust in the ALP (or LNP) to do the right thing for the environment is so very low. This approval for Woodside et al more proof that the lack of trust is well founded.

The main problem with gormless pricks like Tim Wilson is that they're not in parliament for the people of their electorates—they're only there for themselves. And over the years, I've come to the conclusion this descriptor fits at least 93-94% of our MPs. There's not many Andrew Wilkies. #auspol

All Australians have skin in this game. Our children and grandchildren have everything to lose. Climate change is already creating unbearable weather events & destroying our reefs, forests, wetlands & huge swathes of agricultural land. We are destroying our home for gas industry profits #Auspol
