The Coalition and others are already ‘flooding the zone with shit’ ahead of the election. Misinformation, disinformation, horseshit of many varieties. Thankfully @itsnotarace2025.bsky.social is here to take the piss out of all the pro-coal, pro-billionaire BS. Chip in & help out today. #auspol

We have a major problem with the damage that Rupert Murdoch has done to newspapers in Australia, and any self-respecting government should take steps to correct that as soon as possible. #auspol #media

Anyone else just been blanked on X? I’m getting a blank screen there. Has the system blocked me? I did write about the destruction of Christian sacred sites by Israel in ME. Would that get me blocked?

Bowel cancer is increasingly prevalent in young Australians and the disease often goes undiagnosed until it's too late. The age for two-yearly screening was recently reduced from 50 to 45, but some experts would like to see it reduced further. www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast...

“This is politicians acting on their cynical maxim that “the appearance is the reality”. They don’t need actually to fix a problem, just create the appearance of fixing it.” So true. Minority government ✊

If Dutton wants to be Prime Minister of Australia he needs to answer the question when it’s put to him if he supports a two state solution re Palestine and Israel or not. He should not be allowed to dodge it (Re Tingle piece today)

There’s nothing we can do about the US. It’s done. This is what they wanted. I can’t read or watch it anymore - no use and a waste of time as we’ve so much to do here in Australia to stop a Dutton (Trump like) Govt next year. For those of us in Australia - this should be our ONLY focus #auspol

What's wrong with this ABC news strap? There are no SMR octogenarians (which is directly what Peter Dutton was referring to) in the world. If factcheckers have been over these sorts of claims then the ABC cannot simply throw up a headline like this. It's misinformation. #auspol

What shits me is that because of the dishonestly manufactured backlash against all and any measures to slow the spread of the last pandemic, we will be significantly worse prepared and more reluctant to act when the next, possibly much more deadly, one comes along.

The culture war over Australia Day reminds me of the arrogant phrase, ‘Love it or leave it!' When an individual claims to be perfect we call it narcissism and insecurity. When half the nation says it, it's downright scary.
