I think it’s fairly clear now that Australia needs to: • Withdraw from the ANZUS treaty • Withdraw from 5-Eyes • Close all US facilities on 🇦🇺 soil • Non-align

🤓 in just 6 years, australia's two main grids added 51 TWh/yr of wind+solar generation. …taking us from 19.9% → 38.8% renewables. …this is equivalent to 6.6 large #nuclear reactors, but at much lower cost & much faster. …even more impressive given there's no chance of nuclear here for 20+ years.

The Libs are upset Labor mocked the claim that hateful angry racist Dutton is "not a monster"?! Funny. They never apologised for: • calling PM Gillard a witch and a bitch • claiming her partner might be gay • vilifying Jim Chalmers' wife for wearing a dress. Putrid hypocrisy. 😠 #auspol

Mocking the claim, made in a supportive RW newspaper, that an angry, hate-filled, racist politician "is not a monster" is NOT okay! Funny that. I remember that same "not a monster" politician called a woman journalist a "mad f*cking witch". The putrid hypocrisy of the Liberal Party. 😠 #auspol

So let me get this straight. It’s okay for trump to hire his family members, target and harm people, lie, cheat, rape, threaten, but when Joe Biden makes moves to protect people, he’s a hypocrite and tarnished. Give me a break.

Whilst it is seemingly not illegal for an Australia to fight for a Foreign Nation. It is illegal for an organisation to recruit Australians to fight for a Foreign Nation. Who are these organisations ? Michael West explains … #auspol

It’s quite extraordinary that Newscorp papers are publishing front page stories, pushing gas, which are being sponsored by Santos, Tamboran, Jemena, and Australia Energy Producers, without attribution. The Newscorp media are utterly compromised.

Their latest attempt to bring down Bluesky now involves hordes of polite disagreement AI bots. Quick, while the bots are asleep, who’s got a bots block list?

I’m still amazed people think Project 2025 isn’t going to happen. Nobody writes a 920 page manifesto and then at the very end says, “just kidding!”

The ongoing misrepresention of @climate200.bsky.social's @simonahac.bsky.social by both Labor and the Libs, rpted by a complicit mainstream news media, verges on defamation. I never hear the same criticism of billionaire Gina Rinehart for her overt influence on Coalition policy. 😠 #auspol #QandA

We thank Kate McClymont for her excellent reporting on Jones’ crimes, but we also wish she’d report fairly on our work. Her story reads as if advertisers organised themselves to boycott Jones. The media don’t just lie in obvious ways, and these devious and ugly deceptions are bullshit. Fuck sake.
