“Imminent” US war with China over Taiwan front paged by US citizens Rupert/Lachlan’s @australian. Agenda? Pump up Oz taxpayer defence spending. At the very least these blokes have an ethical obligation to declare their vested interest in the arms trade.

Stellar #MediaWatch. @lintonbesser.bsky.social covered the misleading reports of Dubai by Nine's Today show, anti-trans bigotry of inaccurate reports of a trans child's performance at a school sports carnival, and the ABC's removal of a Gaza interview. #journalism iview.abc.net.au/show/media-w...

I absolutely hate Disney+. I'm trying to watch #DoctorWho S2E8 "The Reality War" finale. It has played the ad for another show FIVE times, no, SEVEN times, then freezes. I've been trying to watch the show for 30min now and it just won't play. Refresh. Reload. Nothing. Finally! Only took 40min. 😠

Me too. @albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social are showing their true colours. Labor's drift to the right has morphed into a lurch. Let us hope @greens.org.au can learn, evolve, and become a positive force in the next parliament. They have a lot of work to do to get there. #auspol

According to experts, the Trump admin's MAHA Report on children's health is riddled with fake citations, non-existent studies, references to actual science reports that have their conclusions misrepresented, questionable scientific conclusions, and passages generated by AI. #USPolitics #healthcare

I wanted a minority Labor Govt that had to listen to the Greens and the Teal independents. The Albanese Labor Govt's ongoing inaction on the #GazaGenocide, its approval for Woodside's #NorthWestShelf project, and continued support for #AUKUS are just 3 reasons. 😔 #auspol

Men, women and children in Gaza are not "dying" or being "killed"; they are being murdered. By Israel. Men, women and children in Gaza are not "starving"; they are being starved. Deliberately. By Israel. In years to come, school students will study the media's complicity in the #GazaGenocide.

When you post "I like A." why do people feel the need to reply "Oh, I never liked A." Or you post good wishes for a public figure's health or welfare (Magda Szubanski). And they reply "Sure. But we should want good medical care for everyone." Why do people do this? It's so petty and mean-spirited.

Outstanding #4Corners program by @patskarvelas.bsky.social on the Liberal Party's election defeat. Listening to the Liberals interviewed, their hubris, wilful ignorance, and the patent lie that they intended to listen to voters, a better title for the program might be Delusional. #auspol #AusVotes25

I agree with the comments made by Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong here, supporting Ukraine's resistance to Russia's invasion. #IStandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 I wish Wong would use similar language in support of Palestine's resistance to Israel's occupation and ongoing #GazaGenocide. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
