A young man and his mates in a tinny. "Flynn Holman's trusty tinny turned from fishing companion to lifesaving vessel this week, as he helped rescue dozens of residents from floodwaters on the NSW Mid North Coast." #auspol #NSWfloods www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Hey Albo … It’s G E N O C I D E. Why is the Israeli ambassador still on our shores, why do we have any dealings with Elbit Systems, why are we exporting arms parts to Israel. Why has your Government not condemned and boycotted Israel? #auspol #Gaza #Genocide @albomp.bsky.social

Oohhh! Looks like I'm going to watch a nice program on SBS1 right now... "Call me Kate" its about Katharine Hepburn, my most favourite actress 😊💜

And yet they are about to approve an extension to a massive fossil fuel project in WA. #auspol

Kelly: Senator Ossoff and I introduced legislation to compel the rest of Congress to do what the two of us already do: put your assets into a blind trust, where you don’t have the ability to use any of the information you have to make money because of your job.

How absurd are complaints against the super changes? Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000. So they earned $250,000 in a year. Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability. How much? $2,884. That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.

Trains delayed, roads closed and ferries cancelled across Sydney as flooding leads to transport chaos

Annual emissions resulting from Woodside’s Burrup Hub expansion alone, which includes the 50-year extension of North West Shelf gas export terminal, would be up to 132 mt annually. This is greater than the emissions of ALL Australia’s coal power stations.

A fourth person has been confirmed dead and another is still missing in record floods on the NSW Mid North Coast, … as thousands of people remain without power. It must be the renewables .. #auspol #Renewables #Climate #StopFossilFuels

Flyspray Stories 🪰🕷🦟#1 The can came out again today. There were ants on the front verandah dining on freshly dehydrated earthworms that sought solace on higher & dryer ground. Unfortunately, the ants were seen by herself, the keeper & user of the can. She sprayed until the ants moved no more...

Australian governments are just as addicted to gambling as those glued to the pokies — only for them, they always win.

Every forced march of civilians is mass murder.

“It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward,” she wrote. “It’s time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership.”

It does not get better than this, #auspol.

Bazinga!

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.

Multiple factors played into this debacle for the Coalition, here’s where it went wrong. #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

These days will end.

If you're a journalist and Donold says 'you're not being very nice,' congrats, you're doing your job!

the other great thing about last night’s election is Clive Palmer’s Arse Trumpets or whatever they were called got nothing..

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Ali France just became the first person to unseat an opposition leader at an election. Despite Peter Dutton’s fear-mongering and culture wars that strategically and deliberately harm minorities, Australians didn’t buy it. And a woman with a disability showed him the door.

Thank you, Australia.

Dutton got his wish. He will never stand in front of an Aboriginal flag as PM.

The conservative wannabe-Trump opposition leaders in both Canada and Australia lost both their bids to become prime minister - but also their own seats! To quote ⁦‪Rick Wilson‬⁩: everything Trump touches dies.

I am so proud of Australia. This is magnificent. You have repudiated Trumpism in the most dramatic way imaginable. I am having a little weep right now. #auspol #ausvotes

Laura Tingle asks “who’s going to be going back into culture wars after this election result?” “Not just in politics, Newscorp was in it up to their armpits.”🔥💯 #AusVotes25

NEW: The Trump Administration want's you to believe it's the most transparent in history, when nothing could be further from the truth. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/transparen...

Hello world Australia here - we are a moderate country . Extreme crazy, nasty, racism, culture wars are now road kill.

Congratulations to @albomp.bsky.social and his party on their victory in the Australian federal election. Europeans and Australians are not just friends – we’re mates.

PETER DUTTON HAS LOST HIS SEAT IN PARLIAMENT!! YESSS!! HE'S GONE, HE'S GONE. #AusVotes2025

I wonder how many Americans realize that Bribery is one of just two impeachable offenses specifically enumerated in the United States Constitution and the case that Donald Trump has now committed that crime dozens of times in his second term is a legal slam dunk. So shall we get started?
