Peter Dutton is playing with fire w race-based division & fear. Dutton's 'running around throwing matches, which the Aust media is all too willing to feed, because their fundamental drive is not the good of the country but telling stories that grab attention' #auspol johnmenadue.com/peter-dutton...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Bernard Keane: 'Peter Dutton assiduously avoids being questioned by the media & vanishes altogether when under pressure.. a recurring feature of Dutton’s leadership is that he is unable to maintain a policy position for, in some cases, even a matter of days' #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/07/p...

‘For years, Donald Trump’s servility to Vladimir Putin was dismissed as mere vanity or venality, an eccentric quirk of a reality-show president. Now, it is clear that the takeover is complete. On Monday, Trump spit endless insults at Ukraine and its leader while praising Putin without limit.’

We know. #AusPol

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I know it's only Wednesday, but I'm already looking forward to #TheSundayShot ep2 with @instanterudite.bsky.social & @davemilbo.bsky.social on Sunday morning 9am. #auspol #AusVotes2025 #SundayShot #journalism youtu.be/_OWA3a411_k?...

Our AUKUS partner praising the regime that murdered 27 Australians on flight MH17.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

How appalling that the Australian Government has not shown support for the International Criminal Court after the US Government’s sanctions against it. This is a matter of principle. The ICC deals with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

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

Well what do you know, turns out there is a corruption issue in the Robodebt referrals worth investigating. NACC independent reviewer says all six people referred should be investigated for possible corrupt conduct. The NACC gets to do the investigation, of course. www.nacc.gov.au/news-and-med...

Usman Khawaja has asked "where is the justice?" after two Muslim women were attacked at a Melbourne shopping centre, in what's being treated as "prejudice-motivated" "Rather than have an exclusive anti-Semitic summit, how about we stop picking sides and include Islamophobia"

ABC News a disgrace. No report on the 6 Public Servants involved in Robodebt to be investigated.

🚨The NACC will be forced to investigate over the Coalition's $1.7 billion Robodebt scheme after a humiliating intervention. NACC announced it today under cover of RBA’s rate cut - despite "decision" made over a week ago. Brereton still refusing to quit... theklaxon.com.au/09r7

They don't even know which technology they will use (mostly because the entire point of the nukes plan is to not have to have a plan to reduce emissions)

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

More efficient than bulldozers if you’re clearing land for redevelopment, which was the whole point of the “war” from the start.

The year is 2025 and every artist, writer, musician, actor, everyone & every form of culture has been cancelled to protect Israel's genocide. Somehow we're still saying "this sets a dangerous precedent" when we are well beyond that, this is the ever-expanding silence that follows

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington state, who blocked Trump's executive order re: transgender health care, says it is unconstitutional in multiple ways, including usurping Congress' power of the purse storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Media rarely cover the Albanese govt’s policies and - surprise! - now find that, you guessed it, most voters don’t know the Albanese govt’s policies!! Spoiler alert - media do better! #auspol

Labor are disappointing, timid and weak. LNP are cruel and ruthless. What’s worse? 🤔 Both show that major parties are incapable of putting us first. #auspol

Incredible choice of words from Hanson given her offer came just *after* Joyce was filmed lying on the ground mumbling obscenities into his phone.

Are you in Wagga Wagga or surrounds? Want to see the back of Michael McCormack? Even if you’re not in Wagga, want to see the back of McCormack? Support a community backed independent, Jenny Rolfe. Let’s change the country. #AusPol

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

The oldest Robodebt proverb: the junior staffers were always right

ABC News a disgrace. No report on the 6 Public Servants involved in Robodebt to be investigated.

Yet Unnamed Public Servants to be investigated as a result of enquiryinto NACC & Paul Breretons decision not to investigate.👏🏻

Stephen Jones MP for the Seat of Whitlam & Assistant Treasurer is retiring from politics. Whitlam will miss him. He has been a tireless worker for us.

Her messaging is so strong. This is the entire crux of it. He can't do it. It's illegal. Congress is responsible to the constitution and must deny this request. Full stop.
