Politics can either make or break people, institutions & nations. It can make knowledge & culture flourish, or enrich just a few. So we have to be informed & involved in politics!

Fuck.

Dutton should be honest and upfront about what services he will cut if elected. If you don’t know then vote no to the coalition. #auspol #ausvotes

AGL bilked its most vulnerable customers by taking money out of their welfare accounts. It's full-year profit was $2,216 million in 2024. But now AGL has come crying that a $25m fine is too large www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Mark Butler yday: 'Dutton in 2014 tried to abolish bulk billing altogether. When he couldn't do that, when the Senate blocked him, doctors opposed him...effectively tried to strangle bulk billing slowly by freezing the M'care rebate.' #auspol www.health.gov.au/ministers/th...

Watch. Then vote wisely. No. Vote. Is. Ever. Wasted! Why? Preferential voting, of course. If you don't know how this *actually* works, watch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=bley.... Thanks, @thejuicemedia.bsky.social.

Susanne Ussing (1940-1998) was a Danish visual #artist, #architect. One of her most striking works was this 1980 installation entitled I Drivhuset, installed in Copenhagen. A #female figure who has become too big for (or has been trapped by) an a glass greenhouse. #photography #glass #ceiling

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

Here's @instanterudite.bsky.social. 'Dutton’s dangerous dance: decrying one form of racism while stoking all the others'

Independent Australia's catalogue of major reasons Peter Dutton should never be prime minister now numbers 85. Michelle Pini updates the list of cons. There's currently a consistent crusade by the legacy media to turn a “monster” into a credible contender for the top job but we’re not buying it.

Censorship is an extremely serious restriction on free speech, requiring extraordinary justification. The risk of hurt feelings does not justify censorship.

“Both Coles and Woolworths have higher profit margins than supermarkets chains in the UK, USA and Europe. Australian shoppers are paying for those profits." The Australia Institute welcomes the latest move to give the ACCC more resources to take on these companies, on our behalf. MEDIA RELEASE:

This.

He forgot to say ‘from NewsCorp’ #auspol

Can I suggest that since the ABC is acknowledging that News Corp are "agenda driven" in attacking the ABC, that they acknowledge News Corp is "agenda driven" on everything, and therefore the ABC should not amplify News Corp's political agenda and platform their staff? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Remember back in the last century when Barry Jones had a plan for us to be a clever country and we were all too lazy/stupid to even attempt to understand it, especially the chart? Now that was a sliding doors moment.

The media has focused more on polling in the past 2 days than it has on policy for the entire past 3 years. Journalists get incredibly excited about the horse race. Means they don't have to do any work.

Maybe we should send a flurry of emails and make phone calls to senior ABC management to demand that they get rid of Pezzullo. I’m sure they’ll act as swiftly as they did with Lattouf 🙄

Peter Dutton plans to butcher the public service, DOGE style. The last time the LNP tried that they just shoveled cash to the big 4 consulting firms so we got shocking waste, corrupted governance, rampant secrecy & hopeless service. #TaxLawLeak #auspol

Meanwhile the world continues to 🔥🔥🔥 The planet is ‘on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster,’ scientists warn Stop subsidising & burning fossil fuels ASAP. You too, AUS‼️ #ClimateCrisis #auspol #AusVotes25 #DontRiskDutton yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/10/the-...

Do you have friends, family, colleagues etc in any of these electorates? Please share the map and the list with them and ask them to get involved. We all know how vital #ausvotes25 is for our democracy and the future of our kids and grandkids. Let's go! 🙌 🙌 #auspol

Competition is great, but it’s not going to make your insurance premiums cheaper. Tax fossil fuel companies properly and make them pay for the damage they have already done.

The ABC is pre-emptively buckling #auspol

Ronni getting to the truth again #auspol #arts

Did you know one of the major donors $$ to Creative Australia (aka Australia Council For The Arts) is the Besen Family Foundation? The Besen Foundation strongly supports Zionism & has been known to withdraw major arts funding if board decisions do not suit their world view. Isn't that fascinating?

“It’s the economy, stupid.” #auspol #AusVotes25 #DontRiskDutton

This is disgusting. How can people sleep at night when they know their negligence has caused the deaths of fellow Australians. Beggars belief (Great investigative journalism from @squigglyrick.bsky.social)

The Daily Rupert sent a reporter, photographer and videographer with a pro-Israel activist to a Middle Eastern restaurant in Sydney, where he tried to provoke the staff into doing something antisemitic so they could film it.

The Daily Telegraph took part in a stunt in which a provocateur tried and failed to *stir up* antisemitism at an Egyptian restaurant in order to have it caught on camera. How's this for "social cohesion"? I wonder if any politicians will bother to comment www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

It is the job of the artist to provoke, to be controversial, to be outspoken, to get us to think. Isn't that one of the main points of art? If we start cancelling every artist because they "create debate" then who the hell are we as a society? Craven cowards. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

More Murdoch filth.

Totally BELIEVABLE
