Well this makes for interesting reading. 🧐 Anyone surprised that Liberal slush funds have been financing Advance’s misinformation campaigns? www.aec.gov.au/parties_and_...

Wondering what Millionaire Peter Dutton up to today? I've just been perusing Peter Dutton's speeches & media releases over the past two years and he loves to take a dig at "wealthy elites" I am here to beg you - every one of you - to always, always refer to him as Millionaire Peter Dutton from now

The SMH (and I assume The Age) have an op-ed piece by Poodles Pyne today. I’m not linking to it, for obvious reasons. Sad, though, to see once great newspapers publishing such infantile garbage.

Good morning - if you'd like to join me for parliament, the Australia Institute Live parliamentary blog soft launch is happening here - live.australiainstitute.org.au It is still in its infancy (born today!) and I am a nervous new parent fueled by coffee and insecurity, but come join!

We saw what the party stood for, for almost a decade. Rorts, graft, abuse, cruelty, corruption, scandal and a $Trillion debt. I don't know why anyone would want them back. It was a new scandal every day with the Coalition. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

When are we going to see an Australian newspaper have this (real news) on their front page??

You might have seen reports of the Liberal Party whining that I, as your community independent, spend too much time "opposing the opposition." Here’s what the major parties don’t get: THIS IS NOT ABOUT THEM. IT’S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THEM. IT’S ABOUT YOU. 🧵

Suckerberg is going to regret this no fact checking 😆

Duttons hate has no bounds

The number of journalists writing columns about Dutton today like it's the first time they have heard about him is rather... disconcerting. Oh my god - he used to be a cop! He thinks John Howard was great!

Cripes reading 90% of the media at the moment is just... well shit.

Wasteful spending? As defence minister this bloke gave $423m contract to a company with no background and a beach shack as an office.

"Dutton himself is badly confused... Does he want more migration or less? Does he want to fix workforce shortages or exacerbate them? The answer seems to change depending on which bit of his pamphlet you read." @keanebernard.bsky.social on Dutton's MAGA mess www.crikey.com.au/2025/01/13/p...

If you stick your head in the sand your bum still catches on fire

For people canceling Facebook and Threads, please note the company also owns Instagram.

Heard that my silly little videos might be upsetting some people again - you can follow along here if you'd like. When the year starts again, so will the political explainers, but in the meantime - www.instagram.com/pyjamapoliti...

LETS DO THIS: Close your Threads, Instagram and Facebook accounts … at high noon on 20 Jan 2025 right after you do it to X. The #GreatTwitterWalkoff can also be the #GreatMetaWalkoff. Let’s do it simultaneously and show our power.

Certain smug-prick journalists hate that Amy is able to convey information to an audience without being a smug prick.

🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an ‘astroturf’ group: ‘australians for progress’. using classic negative ad styling — complete with misinformation — billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

I wrote an article for women’s agenda asking people to get more politically active #auspol > womensagenda.com.au/latest/why-b...

WA gas and electricity prices have tripled since the Government let Woodside start exporting WA’s domestic gas reserves. Driving up gas and electricity prices for WA households and businesses. Find out more: australiainstitute.org.au/post/triple-...

I have lost control of the situation.

Hey #albo, do you think it's time to rethink #AUKUS yet? #auspol

It is now not considered inappropriate on Facebook and Instagram to refer to women as "household objects or property", or to transgender or non-binary people as "it".

I’m putting this on TikTok. It’ll annoy the crap out of the nutjacks, boost my reach and the trolls will out themselves so I can block them. 😏

The choice in this election year: A Labor Government fighting inflation, helping with the cost of living, and building Australia’s future. Or Peter Dutton and the Coalition coming after Medicare and wages again, taking Australia backwards and making things harder for people. #auspol #ausecon

Many Australian users on Threads WANT to move to BlueSky (especially today!) but lament lack of Australian content. Australian Bluesky don't just LIKE posts, repost and quote for more visibility with your followers and boost Australian issues and posts. Start with this one!!

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Spinning Hugh. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Morning. ☕️

This graph explains the motives behind Dutton’s nuclear “plan”. He is trying to disrupt the rise of renewables to keep coal in business. Why isn’t this the frame through which media report about his plan? Instead they give it legitimacy by characterising it as well meaning.

News. My @smh cartoon.

Without Rupert Murdoch there would have been no Trump presidency No Boris Johnson No Brexit No Abbott or Morrison: -Australia would have a world class fibre NBN with speeds up to 10,000+Mbps -meaningful Climate Change action, -vibrant renewables industry -Funded ABC -No Dutton -No AUKUS ☢️ #auspol

Prince Andrew won’t attend the Royal family Xmas due to his links to a Chinese spy, shortly after he returned to public events after his links to Epstein and child sex accusations. Can we please be a republic? Pretty please.
