At risk of being rude, have others noticed the extreme irony of the National Party (self declared ‘friend of farmers’) breaking up the coalition because they oppose Net Zero while Australia languishes under extreme floods in NSW and extreme drought everywhere else? No? Just me, then?

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

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.

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

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...

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

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

'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

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.
