Great policy, thanks Albo. Can you let someone with a bit mor ooomph do the delivery though? 🥱 #auspol

👍👍 "With no serious policies to showcase (and no, his nuclear fantasy doesn’t count), Dutton is reduced to campaigning on a vibe – a hokey ex-Queensland-policeman-kind-of-vibe despite having spent many more years as a millionaire property developer than he ever did as a cop on the beat." #auspol

This election, be alert to stunts designed to manipulate votes: “Russia [is] recruiting low-budget saboteurs to carry out vandalism across Europe to stoke division in an attempt to destabilise the West, using an army of online bots to spread their messages.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02... #auspol

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

These are just the statements on record. Do you trust these people, #auspol? Whose songsheet are they singing from?

Want change? Want to protect Australia’s wildlife and environments? *Use preferential voting to your advantage.* No. Vote. Is. Ever. Wasted! Simply order your votes from most environmentally progressive to least (ecocidal). It’s literally that simple. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This week, we have seen leaders in western Europe forced to move from fumbling cautious politeness to action as a result of the Trump’s various & wild pronouncements. There's no reason to think Australia's national interests will not be directly challenged in a similar way. Laura Tingle #auspol

Questions are being asked in all quarters now, including in the pubs - where senior bureaucrats’ circa $1M salaries are not passing the proverbial test. #FatCats #auspol

Still work to do - 10% can’t be left behind - but this is really quite a remarkable achievement. Makes an enormous difference to residents and families using aged care. Thank you @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol

Associated Press sues White House over ban from Oval Office and Air Force One www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Remember all those platitudes after the child abuse Royal Commission about how we as a society were going to treat victim-survivors of institutional abuse better? Read Rick Morton in The Saturday Paper today. I shake my head in utter disbelief. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Also Dictator Trump: “Do what I say or I’ll ruin you”. It only takes one Governor of one small state to reveal the Bully-In-Chief’s true to form.

AND energy costs aren’t any more “sky high” now than they would be if you factored in the cost of nuclear, Mr Headline Writer. Nuclear is not a solution, it’s a political al weapon. ONLY. #auspol

📉📉📉

It’s been a great week for working Aussies this week. Here are the numbers: We just found out that Labor has created 1.15 million new jobs since coming to Government, that’s enough to fill 11.5 MCGs.

Peter Dutton is NOT your mate!!

Is anything at all that Australian politicians tell the public about Australian gas true? Anything? This seems like an eminently solvable non-problem. Stop exporting so much gas! #auspol

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

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.

Has Peter Dutton been asked by journalists why he spread this misinformation, or has he gone back into hiding? #auspol

When abortion is banned women die.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Undoubtedly also the case in Australian newsrooms including at the ABC, the national broadcaster. All that talk of the imperative of displaying "impartiality" while oozing pro-Israel bias from every pore. Unforgivable. #auspol #FreePalestine www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

Aside from the Trump mention I like what this fact reveals. There’s no doubt the LNP did nothing to help Aus weather international inflation. AND that the current Labor team is streets ahead of the LNP on economic management. OR that Dutton lies. 🤷‍♀️ Trifecta of truths. #auspol

So according to the Shadow Attorney General Michaelia Cash, if Peter Dutton is elected, his To Do List includes pardoning convicted criminals who attacked police, pulling out of our Paris Climate commitment, invading Gaza & backing murderous dictator Vladimir Putin. #auspol

“Immigrants didn’t steal my job, the President did.”

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”
