How about that NACC? Are we going to get to the election without them delivering a single successful corruption investigation?

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022. they had two options to arrest the decline: 1. win back trust with good governance & good policy 2. rig the system tonight they chose to rig the system. a dark day for australian democracy.

🚨 dutton & albo have joined forces 🚨 instead of winning your vote by being less 💩, they're rigging the game. …by giving themselves: • $140m in taxpayer $$$ • higher spending cap than indies they think this will kill the independent movement. 👇donate & prove them wrong👇

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Rick Buckler did what the best drummers do: served the song, and put his mark on all of them. Examples extend into the distance, but here are a few: In The City, All Around The World, the peerless live version of It's Too Bad, Thick As Thieves, Eton Rifles, Scrape Away, Beat Surrender...

Excellent. And if the crossbenchers can make this happen, they should also require that the current NACC bosses are replaced. #auspol

This is such a fascinating piece in The Atlantic. James Murdoch opens up on his father, his brother, and how the family fell apart. Well worth the subscription. Fans of Succession will especially appreciate the parallels. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I just want to say to all of the people I know who were victims of that monster, now dead (& of those who allowed him to keep abusing children for years after they knew): good people have you in their hearts. Thinking of Paul, Steve, Nick, Andrew, the Harrisons, the Currans, to name but a few. ❤️

Poisonous Murdochs own 70+% of Australian print , tv, audio, internet media. Murdochs platforms broadcast their often divisive, biased, misleading information. Why does our ABC increase their reach & audience by employing Murdoch minions, inc other Murdoch minions & agendas in their own programs?

Love to all SA survivors today, especially in country Victoria. Let's not forget that the creature who died earlier this morning harmed hundreds of children, some while living with the criminal George Pell who must have known of the offending & did nothing #loudfence #catholicchurchcoverup

The rejection of science. The rejection of evidence; of credentialed expertise that argues the science has now become the rejection of “wokeism”. And that is being celebrated. The race to the bottom continues.

Every time the Coalition says it can slash public service staffing levels w/out affecting "frontline services", it's worth remembering the current right-wing NZ Govt said the same thing in Opposition & has since imposed brutal cuts that have hit services www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350... #auspol

If the ABC is going to give softball interviews to "former Home Affairs secretary" Mike Pezzullo, they should really disclose to readers that he was sacked from that job for 14 breaches of the Code of Conduct
