A strong believer in democracy and the citizen's right to disagree. A proud NIMBY in reply to the Tasmanian minister for local government who wants control over planning to be in his hands. Government Planning? Like the ferries? Like the stadium?

I'm happy to lose anyone and everyone over opposing genocide and fascism 👋🖕

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Do want to clear up something, while it was good to be recognised as the person who exposed the Greens Franklin S44 debacle, the ABC's description of me as a "self-proclaimed amateur election analyst" was incorrect + I hope this doesn't happen again.

Where in Tasmania would Dutton's nuclear power plant be built if Liberals and their National hangers on win?

Their team is mostly made up of 25 year old meme makers, Scotty's leftovers and totally unfit for purpose, US style culture wars bait The Liberal party are a sad, empty vessel of noise, nastiness and delusions led by a sub-intellect multi-millionaire property developer conning the little people

If you’re an Aussie journalist and you’re not standing with Mary Kostakidis, Antoinette Lattouf, Peter Lalor & Michael West as Zionists try to silence them, well, you’re not a journalist. You’re a shill. You’re greasing the path to fascism and you can absolutely go fuck yourself.

This week a senior LNP member repeated a Trump slogan - & has been seen in a MAGA hat Numerous Liberal Party members are preferencing an extreme christian party & One Nation But - there is little to no media focus on this. We are badly let down by the 4th estate #auspol

We should all be very clear eyed & aware that over the years a form of extreme christianity has crept in to the Liberal Party - & the consequences of this on their membership & policy making We saw this with their recent statements for the ACL More here #auspol > johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04...

How the fuck do we live in a world where anyone is surprised that Peter Dutton lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and when he’s tired of lying he just lies and lies and lies again? #NewsCorpse

Dutton has run off at the mouth again. This time regarding the Russians and the Indonesians. Just like Morrison, Abbott and Howard, no international respect. This time for Dutton though, he won't be able to do his usual trick of running and hiding under the bed until the shitshow is over.

Labor will be like Sophia when it wins the election. And the RWNJ Coalition can cry about it. #auspol #AusVotes25 #PutTheLibsLast youtu.be/rywUzrd9ra8?...

The knives are out’: Dutton has to win over voters, & win back his party. Niki Savva For weeks, Peter Dutton has behaved like a man doing high-speed doughnuts in one of those monster utes, hoping the smoke from the burnouts will cover the wreckage left behind at his last stop. Thread ..🧵 #auspol

Dutton refers to the CSIRO as a "green environmental group". Does he think it's an insult to call Australia's pre-eminent science org environmentally responsible?! Under Dutton, the Coalition is no better than Pauline Hanson's One Nation. #auspol #AusVotes25 #science #Climate #environmentalism

Who else AGREES with Nina?! 🤚

Media hyperventilation and LNP fear mongering over-inflated the Russian base story. But it does highlight the folly of spending $368B on just 8 nuclear submarines to fight off China's coast when we need more airpower and missile defence at home. #auspol

What you're seeing are wet microbursts—intense downdrafts from thunderstorms that slam rain into the ground, creating those stunning lobes. Like a reverse explosion from the sky. Captured in Perth, #Australia

“The Maldives reaffirms its resolute solidarity with the Palestinian cause.” Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu has announced that his country was banning the entry of Israelis in “resolute solidarity” with the Palestinian people. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/e4fv2d

You know what: we're never going to get that moment of vindication. They'll never admit we were right. We just get to be frustrated outsiders seeing clearly forever. We'll listen to the same psychopaths and dumbasses and sellouts on the way down. Maddening.

It seems the Libs have people looking for negative posts about Coalition MPs (like this factual one re Jacinta Price) on TikTok. They copy&paste the text, but replace Price's name with Penny Wong and Liberals with Labor! Blatant disinformation. 😠 #auspol #AusVotes25 #PutTheLibsLast

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

dutton and the LNP want women kept back

Why did ABCTV's #QandA have Liberal Roshena Campbell on the panel? She's not in federal politics (she failed to win the 2023 Aston by-election, losing to Labor's Mary Doyle AND she's not the candidate this election). Who's on next week? Georgina Downer?! 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes25

Israeli Policies and Settler Violence Are Driving Palestinians from the Jordan Valley open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

Israeli forces and settlers attacked Palestinian homes in the town of Khalil al-Louz, southeast of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to local sources quoted by the Wafa news agency. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/5kdvb0

So, surprise, surprise, it turns out that the USA isn’t as open to sharing technology under #AUKUS as Defence Minister Richard Marles has claimed. Another reason why we need a no-holds-barred Senate inquiry to lift the lid off this radioactive can of worms. #auspol

My thought exactly. Gender Stunts in Space: Blue Origin’s Female Celebrity Envoys theaimn.net/gender-stunt...

Pedestrian pinch points are Mac Point stadium design feature. Just one of multiple flaws outlined in the draft Tasmanian Planning Commission report. The final report, due in September, is too late for our witless #politas LibLab uniparty! ThE WisE oNeS. Superior to any with planning skills.

Dutton: 'and frankly, Dr Chalmers, so-called Dr Chalmers, that tax cut is insulting' Is Dutton disputing Jim Chalmers' qualifications? For his information, Dr Chalmers has a PhD in political science from the ANU. PC Dutton can just go and suck lemons in the nasty corner. #auspol #AusVotes

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

Maybe we could "make Australia great again" by removing from Federal Parliament any politician who misuses taxpayers' funds 14 times. 🤔 #auspol #AusVotes25 #PutTheLibsLast

I would very much like Peter Dutton & Jacinta Price to experience the political version of TV's "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome" ie. they disappear from political life and are never heard of again. 📺 #auspol #AusVotes25 #PutDuttonLast

The Put Dutton Last poster: brilliant. By the Electrical Trades Union (ETU), it should be shared nationwide. Superb. #auspol #AusVotes25 #DicksonVotes #DumpDutton

This is how tariffs work. ..and now I want Crab Rangoon.
