Who gives a flying fuck whether or not it comes as a cost to landlords.

Big swing against Labor in werribee tonight (16.2%) But less than 1/10th of those former ALP voters went to the Libs whose vote is up by just 1.5 % Seems voters have figured out you can be frustrated with a government without wanting to vote for the opposition Implications for Dutton?

The argument for the massive pay packets of our top public servants falls apart when you know that the US Secretary of Defense (who has to oversee a budget bigger than the entire Aus Fed Budget) gets half the pay of the Australian secretary of Defence! #fatcats #auspol @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social

Wow. Zoe Daniel MP knocking it out of the park at the #NPC today. ‘The real risk is expecting the same people to address the problems they created’ #auspol

Picking a fight with Canada has America looking like Jake Paul

It’s been a grueling 14-month ordeal, but this fight is bigger & more important than me. It’s essential to expose abuses of power given ongoing harm & human rights atrocities Australians also deserve an independent & accountable ABC Federal court: Feb 3 DONATE: www.gofundme.com/f/antoinette...

And a reminder that it’s our public money that is being used by the ABC for these court proceedings. We need the ABC - but not like this #auspol

Why the hell is the ABC Board Chair, who oversees a total staff of 4,700 people and an annual budget of $1.2 billion - micro-managing and inserting herself into the specific dates of a temporary on-air Sydney radio presenter? How many of the other 4,700 did Ita Buttrose personally meddle with?

Unfortunately for the climate, the major parties have decided to say Good Luck Babe, and take the fossil fuel $$ instead 🔥💰

Update on the empty homes list: We’ve had about 1600 submissions to the list (a few duplicates). We’ve put people in at least 20 homes so far (1 empty can usually hold more than 1 person). 1/5

The judge in Lattouf v ABC has ruled that the Federal court matter is of public interest and will be live-streamed on YouTube. Proceedings begin on Monday 3 Feb at 10 a.m. Stream: www.youtube.com/live/a8RorBe... The case file is publicly accessible here: www.fedcourt.gov.au/services/acc...

Hm, so now that Elon Musk’s unvetted interns have a backdoor into US government servers, has any journo asked the Australian government yet whether it’s suspending intelligence-sharing with US agencies under the Five Eyes setup ? 🧐 Or are y’all just too busy amplifying Dutton’s talking points ?

Breaking: International Hydrographic Association steps in to settle Gulf of Mexico v Gulf of America impasse

Australia has the highest gambling losses in the world. This decision by the government to dodge a tough issue is disappointingly gutless. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

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.

It’s a glory hole! (It literally is. I took a glassblowing class. That’s the term. I giggled.)

Australian uni Vice-Chancellors are among the highest paid in the world. You'll be shocked (*shocked*!!!) to discover that higher pay does not lead to a better student experience. @jack-thrower.bsky.social writes #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-hig...

Finding out the mood on the street regarding Grace Tame’s shirt

Devastating

‘Renewable power reached a record share of Australia’s main electricity supply in the Dec 2024 quarter, with contribution of coal-fired generation dipping below 50% for the first time’ 👏👏👏 Let’s keep going. Don’t get mugged by 🥔 on #nuclear‼️ #auspol #AusVotes25 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A much needed conversation has been kicked off. It’s high time fat cat bureaucrats and university Vice Chancellors were dragged into the open and confronted about their obscenely bloated pay packets. #auspol

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Dental care should be covered under Medicare. Last time there was a minority government, the Greens secured free dental for 3.4 million kids. It's time to finish the job. Everyone should be able to afford to see the dentist. We've done it before. We can do it again.

Happy Lunar New Year to those celebrating today! The Canberra Lunar New Year Festival is on in Dickson this Saturday 1 Feb to usher in the Year of the Wood Snake 🐍🏮

3AW again attacking 'sulky' Grace Tame for wearing that T-shirt - and then immediately going into bat for, yes, the giant (sulking) baby who wore the MAGA hat. Remember Melbourne, when out and about, only display slogans that precisely mirror the views of Tom Elliott. And how about a smile, ladies.

A theory. Full comic here: smbc-comics.com/comic/axial

Noticed with interest that Warringah independent @zalisteggall.bsky.social in Laura Tingle’s package tonight on 7.30 about social media and the election said @bsky.app is her favourite social media platform now.

He’s making it all up. Don’t risk it.

Are you sure you are not a robot?

Who is Australia's biggest tax bludgers!? 🤔 youtube.com/shorts/5nz1s...

Hearing reports of renters being evicted with “no reason provided” before the new legislation comes into effect in NSW - this is a pretty spectacular failing by the NSW government.
