We must move away from any reliance on Musk’s Starlink immediately. Not to be putting plans in place to do this is negligent, harmful to all Australians & is the opposite of keeping us safe #auspol

"We are seeing the beginning of widespread repression of people who support Palestinian human rights, across may industries." ICYMI, important interview with the brave @sarahschwartz.bsky.social from @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social. Part of an excellent and tech-smooth ep 2 of #SundayShot. #auspol

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

Peter Lalor - who was sacked as a cricket commentator at SEN because the sound of his voice “made people feel unsafe” - donated his final pay cheque to UNICEF. Another decent person paying a high price for showing concern about children being bombed.

What more needs to be said? #AusPol2025

What a fantastic interview with Dave & Sarah Schwartz. Didn’t realise how much I needed to hear a calm, rational, compassion conversation about these events Thank you! #auspol #SundayShot

Never forget. Dutton banned diversity morning teas in the defence department. www.themandarin.com.au/171946-email...

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

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

That might be because, as Health Minister, Dutton tried to scrap Bulk Billing with a GP tax and started a 6 year freeze to Medicare rebates that slashed BILLION$ out of our Medicare Not just the “boogeyman” of Medicare, but the Thug Australian doctors ranked “the worst Health Minister in 35 years”

1. The concept of "baseload" is a myth. It's an antiquated concept pushed heavily by the fossil fuel industry. 2. Nuclear power is the most expensive power that can be generated 3 . Dutton is a liar. #auspol

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

The difference between a LABOR government and a Coalition government. People come first. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Our catalogue of major reasons Peter Dutton should never be PM now numbers 85. Michelle Pini updates the list of cons. There is currently a consistent crusade by the legacy media to turn a “monster” into a credible contender for the top job but we’re not buying it. @michellepini.bsky.social

Hope those Aussie "commentators" (grifters) cheering this sort of evil on under the guise of 'free speech' are particularly proud of themselves right now. 🙄💩🤬

I can only operate on the assumption that this could happen 500 times a day and journalists would still describe it as a 'controversial hand gesture' Media: you are actively and unforgivably helping murderous racists and violent bigots when you do this. Stop, we are begging you

More of this energy everywhere please!

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Australian Retailers are mounting an attack on workers entitlements at the Fair Work Commission. If you value your penalty rate, holiday pay, overtime and meal breaks then collective action is the best way to protect your rights at work.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I welcome the NACC’s findings - no corruption, no further action, as expected. This was a dirty Liberal Party tactic to try to stop me from winning in Goldstein. This is what Peter Dutton’s Liberal Party does. Race-to-the-bottom politics that is all about them, not you.

This is the guy the big parties want us to share AUKUS nuclear powered subs with. Who turns on a dime to attack allies without conscience or truth, rewriting events, careless of all the lives lost & wounded by a tyrant leading an illegal invasion. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who is thoroughly inspired to see the thousands of fired-up Americans who turned out IN EVERY STATE to protest the insane trump executive orders, firings, and policies he's pushing. LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!🙏💪

‘The National Anti-Corruption Commission has announced it will investigate the six individuals referred to the body after the robodebt royal commission following an independent review.’ About bloody time! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Anyone who claims Labor is as bad as the LNP were in power has a very short, selective memory.

Last night's Media Watch is essential watching. I hope that Linton Besser doesn't get carpeted for this one. Amazing to see how the Tele tried it's hardest to create a scene just so it could report on something it's helped to create - racial tension. #MediaWatch www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/e...

I love when a devastating insult is so casually dropped 😂 five stars @jennaprice.bsky.social

"The national anti-corruption watchdog has backflipped on its decision not to pursue investigation referrals from the #robodebt RC. ...six people will face probes over their involvement in the illegal welfare debt scheme." Good. But Brereton must resign. #NACC #auspol www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Ben English, the editor of the Daily Telegraph, said the newspaper “never intended to provoke an incident at the Cairo Takeaway restaurant” . Then what WAS your intention Ben? Hmmm? WHAT WAS IT? #auspol #accountability www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Awkward. It took a fmr High Court judge to independently assess NACCs original decision *not* to pursue the referrals. 'NACC will finally investigate whether six people referred to it by the royal commission into Robodebt engaged in corrupt conduct.' #auspol theconversation.com/nacc-belated...

The Daily Telegraph has been busted setting up an Antisemitism stunt in order to create a sensational story. At a minimum we need to see the DT fined and publish a front page confession with an apology printed on their paper and websites. #Auspol Good work Media Watch: youtu.be/lYoydcvIUWg?...

Usman Khawaja has asked "where is the justice?" after two Muslim women were attacked at a Melbourne shopping centre, in what's being treated as "prejudice-motivated" "Rather than have an exclusive anti-Semitic summit, how about we stop picking sides and include Islamophobia"
