April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Liberal Senator Jane Hume's vile "Chinese spies" comment on Seven's Sunrise is straight-up racism. Calling Chinese Australian volunteers on polling booths "Chinese spies" is a disgusting attack on their loyalty. This is grubby One Nation-level #racism. Has Hume apologised yet? ๐Ÿ˜  #auspol #AusVotes25

Breaking news: more interest rate cuts are on the way from later this month. Australia now inside the RBAโ€™s 2% to 3% target range. Four more rate cuts this year?

Catholic Cardinal says the next pope must move against homosexuals because church doctrine has to be based on what Jesus said. Only problem? Jesus never said one single word about homosexuality. Or abortion. www.joemygod.com/2025/04/card...

๐Ÿคฌ In Odesa, UAVs strike high-rise building and a school. There are a lot of fires in the city, the citizens have lost electricity. At least 12 explosions in Odesa. โ—๏ธUp to 15 more drones are flying into the city, moving at very low altitudes.

In case you needed it, another reason Australia should not go nuclear. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hereโ€™s what weโ€™ve been up to last week. knittingnannas.org/2025/04/29/n...

Desperado Dutton is trying to relaunch the No campaign, throwing Aboriginal people under a bus to try to win the election. This is a pathetic admission from Dutton that he has no vision, nothing positive to talk about, no solutions to problems. All he has is division, culture warring. Not a leader.

Typical from The Thug. Divide and rule.

Yet another report out today showing Peter Duttonโ€™s taxpayer-funded nuclear reactor plan is a massive risk to energy security. It means relying on ageing & unreliable coal for longer, putting electricity supply at risk & creating an extra 2 billion tonnes of climate pollution.

Crossbench pressure in action again ๐Ÿ’ช 2 years ago I was proud to second @helenhainesindi private members bill to make home batteries cheaper. Today, the govt have introduced a very similar policy that will give a big discount off home battery costs. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I can so relate to this.

As long as house prices are growing faster than wages those saving up for a deposit will never catch upโ€ฆthe size of the required deposit is like a mirage on the horizon that (for most without the bank of M and D) will never be reached. Sad but true

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

People who tell the truth should be protected, not punished. But right now there are massive gaps in our whistleblower protection laws. Creating a Whistleblower Protection Authority is an essential integrity reform for the next parliament.

I am concerned the Electoral Commission has identified the person responsible for the 47,000 illegal pamphlets but will not tell the public who it is, or whether they will be prosecuted. I have written to the AEC asking for an explanation. The public has the right to know.

Calling our national broadcaster โ€œhate mediaโ€ is not a joke. Trusted media like the ABC play a vital role in our democracy and our society. We donโ€™t need Trump-style culture wars here in Australia.

Maybe itโ€™s the immigrants from Germany that are the problem? The shit head doesnโ€™t realize that we are a nation of immigrants ! How stupid he is!๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿง

Macron shook one hand.

Free telehealth services. Free Urgent Care Clinics. Free Mental Health Clinics. Cheaper medicines. And making sure you can see a GP for free. Weโ€™re getting it done. Peter Dutton would rather cut the essential Medicare services you rely on. Labor created Medicare, and weโ€™ll always protect it.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Cant believe weโ€™ve had a whole election without the PM or Opposition leader being asked why they support opening (and subsidising!) new coal & gas projects? In Fremantle Monday night? Come along and have a chat if you can #climate nb.australiainstitute.org.au/burned_by_bi...

Everything paid for by the taxpayers. Wants to fuck over the low paid.

This giant battery is powering up โšก T๏ธhe huge renewable energy project in Collie is almost complete, and it'll be able to store power for up to 800,000 homes. That's what Laborโ€™s doing: delivering clean, affordable energy to cut power bills now.

Dutton was running around yesterday, screeching that โ€œ the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming! โ€œ and howling about โ€œ a catastrophic failure of Australian diplomacy.โ€ It was total bullshit. Worse it was grossly irresponsible.

Dutton has been both Min for Defence & Min for Home Affairs, & so should understand great care is needed in international relations. His verballing of the Indonesian President means he's either grossly incompetent or extremely reckless, & is unfit to hold any role in govt, let alone be PM. #auspol

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What weโ€™re seeing is state-funded fear. Weโ€™ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasnโ€™t a case involving masked ICE agentsโ€”but thatโ€™s happening too.

โ€œThe Maldives reaffirms its resolute solidarity with the Palestinian cause.โ€ Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu has announced that his country was banning the entry of Israelis in โ€œresolute solidarityโ€ with the Palestinian people. ๐Ÿ”ด LIVE updates: aje.io/e4fv2d

Just told Daisy that Iโ€™m not helping out her out with a deposit on her own place, even though I take her out with me in public so I can appear to be more like a normal person

How did Dutton get so much property considering he was on a police officerโ€™s wage? And why doesnโ€™t he give his 3 children a few properties each?

Why doesnโ€™t Dutton give his three children five houses each?

Remember - there's nothing we can do about events in the US - but there's a huge amount we can all do to ensure it doesn't happen to us. Start here! ๐Ÿ‘‡ #auspol #ausvotes25

Itโ€™s bullsh*t that thereโ€™s not much difference between Albanese and Dutton. Labor will fully fund public schools and invest in renewables, the Coalition doesnโ€™t give a stuff about public schools and will invest in some never-never nuclear future. Mainstream media is being manipulative
