www.aljazeera.com/program/news... Starvation is getting worse in north Gaza where 31% of children under the age of 2 are suffering from acute malnutrition, a percentage which has doubled since January.

For $61 million, you could manufacture: —Metformin for every type 2 diabetic in the world for four years —Enough sovaldi to cure a quarter million people of Hep C —4 vials of naloxone for everyone in the world who tried drugs of any kind in the last year www.wsj.com/business/uni...

"The grown ups have discussed it (they are called scientists, experts and economists) - and they’ve said very clearly that nuclear is not right for Australia. Let’s move on now - for the sake of our kids and grandkids #auspol "

We all have power. We all have a choice of how we use it. "Whether we are casting a vote, filing a story, advising a minister, attending a protest, or writing a law – history will remember those who chose to act & those who looked away." @pollyjhemming.bsky.social at the #ClimateIntegrity Summit

But, you know, send kids to jail for stealing

Free tertiary education in the 1970s+ in Australia lifted lots of people out of poverty & into productive, highly skilled professions. Those people earned more, paid more tax, contributed more to their communities & society in general. It was dumb to stop free tertiary when huge corps pay NO tax.

The re-elected Albanese Government must immediately sanction Israel and comply with our obligations under the Genocide Convention and international law. Be part of the global movement to pressure Israel to comply to international law. #auspol #Israelpalestine

Seize the day, @albomp.bsky.social. Be bold, leave a legacy to be proud of. You have the chance to be Labor's next Gough Whitlam. Take it!

How is improved access for abortion services ‘an assault on rights?’ No one is making you use them. These people genuinely get upset at others not agreeing with them, and ascribe themselves victim status. womensagenda.com.au/politics/loc...

Genuinely horrified by the result in Goldstein. Independent MP Zoe Daniel is an informed, intelligent, principled individual who has served both the electorate and the nation well. Tim Wilson is a lazy, deceitful, smug narcissist who has only ever served himself. #auspol #AusVotes25 #GoldsteinVotes

The people of Goldstein proving they prefer a shit man over an excellent woman. #AusPol

@albomp.bsky.social had better walk the walk #AusPol

Spain, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway and Slovenia. Australia should be doing the same.

Sussan Ley as the next leader of the Opposition 😂 You will never be PM your party would never allow it "The rise of women should not come at the expense of men" You will be nothing but a seat warmer till the next election and then tossed aside #auspol

It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton. Progressive voters are tricking themselves into thinking this election was a great result, but Australia’s centre of gravity keeps going right.

No, "Australia" is in not in "a cost-of-living nightmare". For many, inflation is no biggie. We're in a poverty and inequality nightmare. If the media and political class only focus on the cost of things, and not structural problems, we'll never properly tax wealth. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Israel can’t be allowed to starve 290,000 Palestinian children to death Starvation as weapon of war is a war crime Israel has said they won’t stop blockade of aid even if hostages freed -we all want hostages freed Today 3,500 children under 5 face imminent death by starvation

The second-term Anthony Albanese government has no excuse not to raise welfare payments in a cost-of-living and housing crisis. www.greenleft.org.au/content/leav...

If Labor was smart, they'd: • ignore the pro-LNP media (esp. NewsCorp). They don't represent the views of most Australians. • be principled. Take real action to address climate, housing, education, healthcare. • This will shore up support among informed young voters for 2028. #auspol #AusVotes25

Australia lays out red carpet for rapid green energy transition. Can Labor seize the moment? reneweconomy.com.au/australia-la...

Dear Albo, We want bold I get the idea of standing up is hard. Our nation has the most amazing kids. They are so able with eg technology, creative thought. Focus on vision for the future. Look at Finland in the 1980s & in 2024 in Australia- The Numeracy Project 🖤💛❤️ @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

May we never read or hear ‘Peter Dutton says…’ from this day forth. Also, fuck off all racist, sexist, xenophobic, petrol station obsessed, mining oligarch puppets 😎🖕

Lol, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price claiming that Labor played a dirty campaign, "slinging mud" on the Coalition. Bruh, says you and your Liberal-funded mud-slingin' propaganda machine Advance who literally spent the entire campaign trying to destroy the Greens.... #AusPol #AusVotes

'Labor MPs will also have to play their role... Slavish quiescence to an all-powerful PM produces paltry results. Caucus needs to get elbows up with the re-elected Albanese & make sure he doesn’t clock off...like he appeared to at times last time around.' bit.ly/3ERYpKa #auspol

Peter Dutton: I don’t want to stand in front of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags at political press conference anymore. Dickson voters: okay.

The Nature Positive (Environment Protection Australia) Bill should be the first major piece of legislation the government takes to the new Senate. Get a victory, demonstrate you can work with the new Senate, demonstrate to themselves that they don't have to give a fuck about right-wing media now.

#FuckMurdoch

Maybe the ALP could consider being braver this term? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Last night was a HUGE blow for LNP populism and Murdochracy in Australia Cheers 🥂 👍👏

After everything they’ve put us through, everything we’ve endured, the lies, the corruption, the culture wars, the far right shitfuckery, I make no apologies for thoroughly enjoying watching the Liberal Party of Australia eat a shit smorgasbord.

#RaiseTheRate

When @AlboMP acknowledged country last night….. that was the fucking best.

Just got a message from a mate: “Can Peter Dutton get a ‘Goodbye From Country’?” 😂

Happy Democracy Day! #AusPol
