Nike has cancelled fmr AOTY Grace Tame as a brand ambassador because of pro-Palestinian posts?! So, Nike opposes human rights and supports genocide?! Good to know. #IStandWithGrace #BoycottNike #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

Former AUS PM Scott Morrison will receive the Companion of the Order of Australia, our highest civilian honour! Holidayed in Hawaii during Australia's bushfires. Failed to appreciate the trauma suffered by Brittany Higgins (until Jen clarified it). Robodebt. THAT Scott Morrison. 😠 #auspol #honours

Didn't hear the song on the radio, Spotify or at the shops recently but 🎶 "Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight" 🎶 has been playing in my head for an hour now. 😁

Netanyahu has revealed to the world the true obscenity that is Zionist Israel. And exposed the destructive controlling influence Zionism has on the elected politicians of so many world govts: USA, UK, Australia. Palestine will be free. And Israel will be a pariah. #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Bawuypawuy is the debut release of Drifting Clouds, the solo project of Yolngu musician Terry Guyula. The song is a modern adaptation of a millennia old Songline, blending tradition with Guyula’s eclectic musical style. #music #Australia #Indigenous youtu.be/XeB6uUFDVyA?...

This week, working online from home, I have felt enormous encouragement, support and appreciation from my bosses Michael and Matthew, who have been working incredibly long hours themselves (both in the office and at home). I hope others working mixed hours (office and online) have the same. #work 🧑‍💼

Not interesting but to be expected. Tim Wilson has former connections and is likely supported by the #IPA #Murdoch and other RW groups who are currently the centre of attention of ABC #political reporting and also strongly connected to the board of ABC. #auspol

I've just discovered that all 10 seasons of British spy drama #Spooks are now available on ABC iview. (Sorry, but I've never seen a single episode.) Is it as good as #Vera? Watching S1E01 tonight. 😁 📺

Congratulations @nicboele.bsky.social! Another win for Community Independents & Australians. One day Aussies will truly understand the importance of these Independents & the majors will be a memory. Until then I appreciate the hard work & sacrifice these independents & volunteers are making #auspol

Interesting, if you go to the ABC News website, looking under "Politics" or "Australia Votes", there's an article on Liberal Tim Wilson winning the seat of Goldstein. You have to search for the report on community independent Nicolette Boele winning Bradfield from the Liberals! #auspol #AusVotes25

I'm glad that ABC News is challenging the Albanese Labor Govt on its approval of gas projects. But I don't remember the ABC ever challenging Dutton's Coalition Opposition on its proposed nuclear program; they simply "reported" it. 🤔 #auspol #energy #environment #ClimateCrisis

I reckon a lot of Australians would rather we kicked the US out of Pine Gap and closed their military bases here, rather than pay them MORE protection money. We've already spent nearly half a $Trillion on #AUKUS. That's money not going to services for our citizens. #auspol

The Albanese Labor Govt has approved Woodside's #NorthWestShelf project extension. Would our Pacific island neighbours think Australia took their existential concerns about #ClimateChange seriously now?! Imagine if China demonstrated that they DID take those concerns seriously. 🤔 #auspol #diplomacy

“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.
