Australian Super is profiting from war crimes; holds shares in at least 55 Israeli companies incl Elbit (bombs/drones) & ICL (white phosphorus) #auspol michaelwest.com.au/australian-s...

Billionaires want you to believe immigrants are taking your job because then you won't realize they are actually coming for your job with AI and other types of automation. We need universal basic income.

"The mass killing of civilians, the destruction of universities and schools, the levelling of libraries and mosques, these are not collateral damages. They are acts of cultural erasure." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Flagging it. Today’s @theage cartoon.

Inflammatory. My @smh cartoon.

When people say it’s hyperbolic to compare Trump to Hitler or to infer that Republicans are Nazis, they’re obviously very unfamiliar with history. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

At the end of this Instagrammed infanticide the ABC will be able to say it didn't know, it was distracted making 17 million pieces of content about a beef Wellington

"Peace doesn’t mean quiet. It means truth. And that truth has just been insulted — in full public view — with a medal. "Let’s not pretend otherwise." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

President of the Mexican Senate, "We'll build the wall and pay for it. But we'll do it according to the 1830 map of Mexico... Mexicans were settled in these territories before the U.S. The Mexicans living there are in what has always been their homeland."

#BREAKING 🚨 Tasmanian governor Barbara Baker has granted an early state election – to be held on 19 July – following another meeting with premier Jeremy Rockliff

THE JOB OF JOURNALISTS IS TO TELL IS WHICH IS CORRECT MY GOD

We’ve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. It’s just straight up “if you criticize us, you’re getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.”

Of course, journalists in LA should not be targeted by police with rubber bullets. But let's not ignore the real issue of journalist safety

Pay attention!!!

Study paints disturbing picture of Long COVID in early childhood. A new JAMA Pediatrics study found Long COVID in young kids: 14% of infants/toddlers and 15% of preschoolers with prior COVID-19 went on to develop the condition, showing its significant impact on early childhood. #LongCOVIDKids

Relieved with sanctions imposed on two of the worst in the Netanyahu govt but concerned they’re making it a case of a couple of bad apples when the entire Israeli administration is pro-genocide. How did Netanyahu escape sanction? The head of the snake should be cut off.

BREAKING: After being called senile, and Newsom denying that they talked yesterday, Trump released this screenshot to the media to show that he actually did speak to Gavin Newsom a day ago, like he claimed. What do you notice from this screenshot? For those who are slow today is June 10.

WTF? Trump is now threatening the American people. He warned protesters to stay away from his birthday/military parade in D.C. this Saturday, claiming anyone who shows up to protest “hates our country” and will be met with “very heavy force.” This is authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

approval of Woodside’s NWS gas expansion catastrophic for climate “North West Shelf extension is a cornerstone of Burrup Hub, … one of the dirtiest carbon polluting projects in Australia, projected to emit billions of tonnes of ghg over its lifespan” www.marineconservation.org.au/wa-approval-...

Melanie O'Brien, President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-...

Albanese doesn’t understand basic facts: “dissembling, nonsense. …no fuel from the NWS is used in east [Aus]. Only a fraction is directed to power plants in Perth’s electricity grid, which requires relatively little gas…Nearly all the gas from the Burrup Hub is shipped overseas or used on site…”

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

Fuck humans are a selfish bunch of thoughtless arseholes. Piss off with the lot of you. Cars do NOT belong on beaches. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

How many millionaires pay $0 tax in Aus, 2025??? 2022 - 60 2023 - 66 2024 - 102 This year's ATO tax stats should drop any day now. Australia is a low-tax country. It's not hard to raise more revenue and make Australia better. @australiainstitute.org.au

The world’s richest people have taken over this government, and they’re going after the country’s and world’s poorest children. www.cbsnews.com/news/white-h...

anyway CNN is reporting that Pentagon lawyers are defining the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT for the U.S. Marines against civilians in L.A. and at the same time you have Serious Journalists™ defending the suspension of a reporter for calling Stephen Miller a hateful person

This was the inevitable consequence.

Obligatory reminder that Sen. Cassidy, in explaining his decision to vote to confirm RFK Jr., stated that RFK Jr. had committed that "[i]f confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes." This... is a change.

Harvard mathematician and satirist Tom Lehrer said that satire died when they gave Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize. Is making Scott Morrison a Companion of the Order of Australia the Australian equivalent? James Proctor, Maiden Gully The Age letters

Has anyone else noticed that @albomp.bsky.social has not sent Special Zionist Envoy for Genocide Jillian Segal out lately to scream that we are all antisemites for supporting Palestine? I wonder why not. #auspol #FuckIsrael #FuckZionism (Video: Palestinians trying to access GHF’s food scraps.)

Once more for those up the back: no. A grand total of 80,000 Australians have super balances of $3m or above, 85% of whom are over 60. The hysteria around these tweaks is simultaneously illuminating and laughable.

May I please beg a small favour, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social? Can you please pass this video on to your Special Zionist Envoy for Genocide Jillian Segal with a note that I hope she's well and enjoying that considerable salary and perks we taxpayers are funding? Thanks. #auspol

Successive Govts have ensured our electricity prices (set by the gas price) are high. We could half the price of electricity if the govt put Aussies ahead of the gas cartel and their super profits. It’s our gas! We need a retrospective gas reservation policy. 1/2 #auspol

1 in 5 COVID survivors still have symptoms 3 years after severe infection, analysis estimates. "Neurologic, pulmonary, and cardiovascular symptoms were the most prevalent" "Death rates were also higher in those with and without neurologic signs at 3 years" #LongCOVID

If you're speaking up about the American gestapo shooting a white Australian journalist, that's wonderful, but have you also noticed the 200 plus Palestinian journalists murdered with impunity by the same power bloc? It's been live-streamed for nearly two year now. 🤷‍♂️
