I've had an absolute gutful of people supporting first past the post voting for Australia. From now on they are anti-preferencers (or should that be anti-preffers for short?), by close analogy with anti-vaxxers.

This sounds like they’ve launched an “independent review” into why Sabsabi was selected in the first place. Ummm, that’s not the problem here. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Tom Homan confirms on Fox News that he's asked the DOJ to investigate AOC

More Nazi stuff

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the #sundayshot this morning. Apologies if you tried to watch on YouTube - we're working on what happened there - the video will be up shortly to replay & we WILL be live next week! In the interim, you can listen to the audio below👇. shows.acast.com/the-shot-pod...

A 'crackdown on the homeless', when there should be a crackdown on #homelessness. It's obscene that people are punished for being the victims of policy failure. A failure that denies safe, secure, affordable housing to people as a right. #HousingCrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Doing great 👍

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Outstanding #SundayShot debut. Yes, major tech issues, but informed, intelligent, insightful discussion w. @instanterudite.bsky.social @davemilbo.bsky.social @rachelwithers.bsky.social & @anthonyklan.bsky.social plus a stellar @richarddenniss.bsky.social interview. So so good. #auspol #AusVotes2025

un-AUSTRALIAN

The CDC published its first MMWR in 3 weeks but it did not include H5N1 drrubin.substack.com/p/cdc-publis...

It’s a unique obscenity to see the genocide of a people as a real estate opportunity.

Bridget McKenzie tells #AfternoonBriefing she believes Trump’s decision to kick out Palestinians from Gaza & “take over” is smthng we should “consider” “He’s obviously very compassionate towards the 2million ppl that reside within Gaza”😳 wow ABC is a disgrace for having her on.

The stuff of absolute nightmares. This is a Republican member of Congress.

Here comes the Ass-Kisser Brigade!

He said the U.S. would "level the site" and create "an economic development." Trump says US will take 'take over' Gaza: 'We'll own it' It’s really just another grift. A fucken grift. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

The Sam Kerr trial is a joke. She paid for the damage and cleaning of the taxi so that part was dropped. The remaining issue is an argument over the police officer being called a supposed racial slur. The money, time and effort to bring this to trial is ridiculous.

I feel for @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social. This seems so stressful and unfair to her. Having to be vulnerable in court, because a principle is so important, is brave.

FUCK YOU MURDOCH #trumpist #liberal #IPA #dutton #project25 YOUVE FUCKED UP DEMOCRACY IN UK US & AUSTRALIA #fuckMurdoch #auspol

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

All this because @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social posted **NEWS** about what Human Rights Watch was saying. The ABC board and management involved in this are contemptible and deserve to no longer have any role with the ABC. Go be paid by news.corp. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

I wonder how the Murdoch media would be reacting if a sports commentator lost his job because his voice made Muslims feel unsafe... 🤔

I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with. The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth. Why? #LatouffvABC

What's the Coalition's problem with neo-Nazi propaganda on Twitter? Copyright infringement?

Peter Dutton: "For months on campuses people have been protesting against Jewish students.... waving flags of terrorist organisations... there should be mandatory sentencing". He's talking about people protesting against fucking genocide, and there is ZERO pushback from David Spears. Fuck all this.

Sick of #insiders? From Feb 16, you will have an alternative! @theshot.net.au is launching The Sunday Shot - join @davemilbo.bsky.social & me & some of Australia's best independent journalists at 9am every Sunday as we dive into the key issues of what is going to be a volatile election campaign.

"Heinous liar says some bullshit" would be a more accurate, less dangerously misleading headline, ABC

"without citing any investigation findings or specific evidence" - then why is it at the top of your whole news website, ABC?? We can't do a whole 'nother term of pretending "Here is the bullshit Trump said today" is meaningful or useful reporting.

The ABC (my employer) needs to stop defending this case against Lattouf and settle - including an apology and reinstatement. They should not have taken her off air in such a manner. Her colleagues stand with her.

Spears: "Under your government, before we get the first nuclear power station, will bills be lower over the next 10 years" Dutton: "Well, we have this [bullshit] report. The independent analysis is that it'll be [bullshit numbers] cheaper. So yes, prices will be cheaper" Awesome stuff, ABC

Indeed Labor is saving money by using public servants and not expensive consultants. #insiders

Fuck me! David Speers raises the issue of puberty blockers! Did Peter Dutton give him his talking points before the interview? #insiders

Fuckin hell Speers. Dutton is conflating left progressives protesting against Genocide, aid workers and journalists being murdered, with far right terrorism, - nazis, and you’re just nodding. This is a pathetically soft interview 🤬. #insiders

Oh bullshit Julian Leeser. The police investigate. As if they want to disclose what they are doing 24/7 to interested parties? Who do you think you are? 🙄 #insiders

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Worried about our nation’s descent into fascism? This one pot cacio e pepe will make you feel like you’re in 1920s Italy.

#BREAKING: 4th episode of ABC's "Afternoon Briefing" under Patricia Karvelas, and less than a minute in, the "Peter Dutton said" is coming thick and fast. Does the LNP sponsor the program? Or PK? Or her producers? Does anything go on in Australian politics other than what Peter Dutton says? #auspol

As bad as everything he says and does is, also worth noting that this is 100% the first time he has heard about this order. He would not have actually read it, would have had no input into its drafting. He is pretty much just the racist puppet with the signature.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

“It surprises me how little people know about Rupert Murdoch. He doesn’t just own the news. He’s an oil baron. He sits on boards with defence contractors. For 50 years he has owned the biggest chunk of the public consciousness & contorted it in his own cruel image. I find Murdoch’s assault on our…”👇

Peter Dutton who slugged taxpayers so that his office mates can party with him at multibillionaire Gina Rinehart’s birthday party, wants to talk about govt waste 🤦‍♂️Best thing he could do to reduce waste right now is resign.

This aged well.

Overdue...it's now essential, with an election forthcoming.
