It was surprising and disappointing that the Liberal candidate for Kooyong failed to turn up to the local Friends of the ABC event this week. It’s increasingly clear that the Liberal Party has less and less interest in a strong, independent media.

Hi @support.bsky.team This is a fantastic content creator & very well trusted source for Australian users. He contributes a great deal to BlueSky His account was hacked many weeks ago (@strangerous.bsky.social) So far he's still waiting to get any info from you (please repost & tag Support)

Seriously! Their campaign drivers are as good as their candidates are as good as their leader.

ADVANCE- pretending to be a grass-roots Australian lobby group. Is actually a US-based propaganda machine backed by CPAC, funding a deluge of misinformation to protect fossil fuel profits. KNOW YOUR ENEMY. #ForeignInterference #auspol www.smh.com.au/national/cop...

She’s not exactly targeting the average voter www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... #broughtToyoubyBillionaires

Why don't we have enough women in politics? #AusVotes25

Pay attention #auspol

#Dutton has just destroyed himself by failing to answer Speer's question about Climate Change. He's done. #debate #auspol

Extremist Steve Bannon gave a Nazi-salute to the US "CPAC" event - and the leader of France's far-right National Rally party cancelled his appearance out of disgust. Liberal Party figure Warren Mundine went ahead regardless, and declared "MAGA". Is this an issue for Peter Dutton?

ā€œI’m not a scientistā€ — #abcleadersdebate

The ā€˜embattled’ Liberal candidate for Bennelong - Scott Yung - has made the same statement as Amelia Hamer. #auspol #ausvotes25

This stuff happens when a party is so hollowed out that it can no longer function rationally or cohesively. They are not a serious party, let alone a viable alternative government, and ā€œpolicyā€ like this is a leading indicator their collapse.

I am so angry at people who told me last fall, when I warned about Project 2025's plan to end NOAA, that I was over-reacting and that the Republicans "would never do something that stupid." Well, here we are and they are doing it.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Office in Hong Kong: ā€œWe must solemnly tell the US that a tariff-wielding barbarian who attempts to force countries to call and beg for mercy can never expect that call from China.ā€ The call is not coming.

The Australien Government has made a cooking show about it's latest fishfuckery, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! #auspol #Election2025

Damn, "unseasonable" heat. It's really sad that no one has figured out why this is happening

OK people - get amongst it! This week's #SundayShot does a deep dive into the nefarious goings on of Atlas & Advance and the wild misinformation they spread. Our expert panellists are @anthonyklan.bsky.social & @lucyham.bsky.social with an interview with @transjusticeau.bsky.social's Jackie Turner.

The Coalition’s nuclear plan doesn’t stack up. 90% of their proposed reactor sites don’t have enough water to operate safely — needing 200GL a year (that’s 80,000 Olympic pools!). In a drying climate, it’s reckless. Renewables are the smart solution. #NuclearNonsense #75by35

These new funds proposed by the LNP are not taxes on windfall profits, but just a boondoggle that pretends that getting the budget figures wrong is a windfall #OffTheCharts @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social australiainstitute.org.au/post/the-lib...

Once you understand the concept of insider trading, the US tariffs chaos makes a lot more sense.

Coalition nuclear plan will plough $58bn wrecking ball through renewable energy projects, analysis warns

Senator Jacquie Lambie did not hold back in her analysis of salmon faming in Tasmania: "We're not making those multinationals pay for their crimes, and the dirt and filth they have left in that harbor."

@thebhp.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

There were 69 journalists killed in all of WW2. 63 in Vietnam. The Israelis have killed more than 200 in Gaza. Deliberate murder to silence reporting.

Inspiration for today….

I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you!! Ever noticed how enquiries result in finding out what the people already knew?

Save the Maugean Skate! Save Tasmania’s beaches and waterways! Fuck the polluting, low tax paying Salmon Industry!

The Istanbul mayor has been arrested. Hundreds of thousands of protesters are swarming the streets of Türkiye. How did we get here?

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

Australians are waking up to the giant scam the gas industry has been operating: 🟠 Draining Australia of gas: exporting over 80% of Australia’s gas 🟠 Getting over half the gas they export royalty free 🟠 Never paying PRRT on the gas they export 🟠 Price gouging us for our own gas

Musk’s Starlink is a clear and present danger to Australian democracy. Exclude it from Australian Electoral Commission contracts. #auspol #ausvotes2025 www.change.org/p/exclude-st...

Islamophobia is the structural discrimination against (usually non-white) people, on the basis of their belief in Islam. A white politician refusing to even acknowledge discrimination against (usually non-white) people, on the basis of their belief in Islam, is an example of Islamophobia. #auspol

Y'know, these 'Liberals Against Nuclear' ads are pretty damn good! This one cites the CSIRO's finding that nuclear energy will be twice as expensive as alternatives by 2040. You remember the CSIRO, right? The bunch of scientists and experts Dutton bagged as lefty nerds, or woke, or ... something. 🤷

ā€œIt was also unclear if Starlink communications were encrypted. At a minimum, the system allows for a network separate from existing White House servers that people on the grounds are able to use, keeping that data separateā€¦ā€ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

Next week will be the Parliament's last chance to spare voters from an onslaught of outright lies in political ads. 87% of Australians support truth in political advertising laws. Our Government should do its job. Sign and share > theaus.in/TIPApetition

ā€œThe US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.ā€ Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It's also worth remembering, Dutton's usual tactics are to say something outrageous that has zero substance to it, provoke a headline that then gets the Karls and the Speersies of the world all frothy-mouthed so they have content to fill their desperate air time with. (see Agenda Setting Theory)

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

"Many who left held a top-secret security clearance, called Q, that gave them access to information about how nuclear weapons are designed, produced and used, officials said..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

Why isn’t Dutton talking about #nuclear anymore? $600B price tag? #auspol #AusVote25 #DontRiskDutton
