The choice at the next election: A Labor PM strengthening Medicare or Peter Dutton who strangled it. #auspol

Dutton ALWAYS disappears when the going gets tough for HIM He disappeared after the interest rate cut was announced. He did the same after when Libs lost Dunkley & when Labor unveiled stage 3 tax cuts. He avoids commentary not favourable to HIM He is a coward www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/20/p...

Poor Andrew Bolt. He pens this "Albo spends like drunken sailor on Medicare" diatribe ↙️ one lazy Sunday morning ... ... only to see "fiscal conservative" Dutton match Albo's "irresponsible spending" on Sunday night. ↘️ Talk about undermining an ally! #NewsCorpse #auspol

When the media reports that Dutton "wrongly says" they SHOULD report "Liberal Leader Peter Dutton deliberately LIED" (given Dutton served as Home Affairs Minister and KNOWS that people must be lawful residents for 4yrs before they can even apply for citizenship and then vote.) #auspol #AusVotes2025

This is such a great podcast. Thank you Abbie Chatfield for putting every jaded cynical journalist to shame with this relaxed, informed, sparkling discussion with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese! #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Huge news! #Labor #auspol #medicare

If men cannot control their sexual urges at the mere sight of a woman, should they be allowed out?

Dutton hates Medicare #auspol

Jim Chalmers not convinced of Angus’ claim they won’t cut bulk billing reminds when Dutton came after Medicare as Health Min & slams the “shameful” veterans backlog left behind “U can’t pay $600bill in nuclear reactors w/out coming after Medicare again like he did last time” youtu.be/QUDmZ2nGKw4?...

Watch as Labor gets more scrutiny over $8.5b for health than Dutton gets over his $600b nuclear fiasco. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Your Medicare card will be all you'll need to see the GP with our biggest ever boost to Medicare.

Jim Chalmers says you can see that the economy is turning a corner in “at least 5 positive ways” “We’ve got inflation down ✅ Wages are up ✅ Unemployment is very low ✅ We’ve got the Liberal Debt down ✅ & now Interest Rates are starting to be cut as well ✅” #AbcInsiders

WTH is wrong with America ?

With brutal greed and arrogance, Trump is planning the rape of Ukraine. Nothing less.

Ridiculous.

3rd teen in Cairns home invasion charged with 13 offences including 5 rape counts, 2 armed robbery & deprivation of liberty. He's appearing in Innisfail Children's Court today. David Crisafulli did not include rape in his youth justice changes. #qldpol www.9news.com.au/national/man...

Well, so many ill-informed Queensland voters have got the "it's time for a change after 9 years" that they've voted for in the October 2024 state election. Now they have 4 long years to live with the consequences of their poor voting choices. #qldpol #auspol #AusPol #AusVotes2025

David Crisafulli gave himself a green tick on youth crime but 3 teenagers in Cairns were undeterred this morning. They won't be facing adult charges on rape because along with attempted murder it was not included in the Crisafulli government's youth justice changes. #qldpol

No surprise: - Gina Rinehart's company lied - #MurdochGutterMedia pushed the lies. And during the election campaign, Rinehart will fund others to spread toxic disinformation. #auspol www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

Another reminder of why Dutton is unfit to be the PM.. The list keeps on growing, now at 85. Pretty sure there are hundreds more reasons over this miscreant’s entire career in politics. & let’s not forget his stint in the QLD police force 💩 independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

Wouldn't it be great if our mainstream news media (incl. our "fair and balanced" ABC) reported the facts? 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #ausecon #inflation

Vikki Campion: "all these independents seem to say the same thing," warning about Dutton. "Almost like a central campaign headquarters?" Could it be that "all these independents" have independently concluded that, if Dutton gets in, we'll have "water lapping at our door," & net zero will be sunk?

❤️ 💃🏼 🧙🏼‍♀️ #VILEKYLE WITHDRAWALS 649-651 🧙🏽 🤩 🥂 Another day, another 3 advertisers fleeing the Kyle and Jackie shit-show. Please read the screenshots for more info, and to learn how to help. Because reforming Australia’s terrible media really, really matters ATM Let’s go. #ToYourBrooms

Racism is going to be the main through line of this election www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Here's @instanterudite.bsky.social. 'Dutton’s dangerous dance: decrying one form of racism while stoking all the others'

Another teen undeterred by David Crisafulli's youth legislation & four-word slogan. He was charged with offences relating to indecent assault on four women. #qldpol

Jackie Trad was cleared by the Qld CCC on this many years ago. There's no evidence to support the claims. She has not been a member of parliament since 2020. Lord Pocketsquare & Newman cost taxpayer's money in a defo settlement when in government. #qldpol www.9news.com.au/videos/natio...

The National Press Club needs to correct an error on their website claiming “every” Opp leader has addressed the NPC. It should instead read “Every Australian Prime Minster & Opposition Leader (except for Peter Dutton) has addressed the National Press Club during the past forty years”

Well done SMH, this is how you report lies -as lies

The truth that everyone has forgotten. 😇

Quick thoughts on some really encouraging new numbers on jobs and wages today. Average full time earnings are now $11,000 higher than when this Albanese Labor Government came to office. More to do, but making good progress together. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

One comment does not make up for decades #auspol

The Orange Oaf and Co-President Musk seem intent on insulting much of the rest of the civilised world. So far it’s Mexico, Canada, Denmark, Greenland, South Africa, New Zealand, Panama, Colombia, Brazil and all of Western Europe. Can’t be long before he comes for us. 🥰

PM Albanese lashes Clive Palmer for spending over $100mill “to deliver one Senate seat with a bloke who sits in the corner & just engages in conspiracy theories”🔥#auspol

Pence, at least, retains a vestige of decency.

There has never been a clearer choice in Australian politics. You can have the pro-Trump divider described as a “thug” by the former PM *from his own party* or you can have the one of #auspol’s great reformers who has led a Government without scandal. #auspol

How in the fuck do we live in a country where when interest rates go up all the landlords rush to increase their rents and the media defends them doing so but when interest rates go down … oh never fucking mind #NewsCorpse

‘The government hasn’t exactly been doing nothing,’ writes Emma Dawson #auspol #AusVotes25 #DontRiskDutton johnmenadue.com/the-governme...

Get this shared please

The Treasurer and Finance Minister under the Coalition. The Treasurer and Finance Minister under Labor. But go on, tell me how the Liberals are better economic managers... #auspol #ausecon

LNP when there’s a .25% interest rate increase ‘a $70 increase on repayments will crush consumers’ LNP when there’s a .25% interest rate decrease ‘a $70 decrease on repayments won’t help much’ So which is it you idiots? #auspol

Extraordinary arrogance by NACC Commr Brereton to still refuse to resign even after being humiliated by eminent person Geoffrey Nettle KC who overturned NACC’s Robodebt decision after Brereton breached his own Act in an attempt to let his friend Kathryn Campbell off the hook🤬

ACTU Secretary Sally McManus has praised the RBA saying they made the “right decision” to cut rates. “The only people that aren’t happy that interest rates have been cut today are Peter Dutton and Angus Taylor”🔥#AfternoonBriefing

Sally McManus says the reason living standards started falling are bcoz of the former Liberal government who oversaw a wages system that was “totally, utterly broken” & who were “keeping wages low” as a “design feature” for “10 whole years”💥#AfternoonBriefing youtu.be/hmFO2wFdqLY?...

Excellent. And if the crossbenchers can make this happen, they should also require that the current NACC bosses are replaced. #auspol

#ResignBrereton

‘The Reserve Bank board has cut interest rates, decreasing the cash rate by 0.25 of a percentage point to 4.1 per cent’ Good news for many ppl Bad news for Dutton, Gina, the media & rich self-funded retirees. Waiting for Spudnik’s “yeah, but look over there at immigrants taking your house & jobs”
