Happening now: Israeli tanks have entered the northern West Bank after 40,000 Palestinians were expelled from three refugee camps in the Jenin & Tulkarm areas. There's a real and present danger that these camps will be erased. This genocide must be stopped. By us all. Now!

#auspol Great podcast & great to hear Barrie C again www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Labor’s economic miracle! While other developed countries have seen unemployment go up, wages come down, inflation still out of control, debt spiralling and services being cut, in Australia Labor has delivered more jobs, wage increases, lower debt, tax cuts & MORE SERVICES!

What with US media calling out Trump’s Ukraine lies in the headline, and SMH sort of calling Dutton a liar in this headline, it feels like journalists/editors are finally starting to understand what’s at stake when they act as stenographers for manipulative deceitful megalomaniacs.

Well done SMH, this is how you report lies -as lies

This is their plan #auspol

"nobody who has fled the war-torn strip since 2023 is eligible for citizenship."

It’s been a great week for working Aussies this week. Here are the numbers: We just found out that Labor has created 1.15 million new jobs since coming to Government, that’s enough to fill 11.5 MCGs.

Australia rewarded Dutton's lies about the Voice. So now he's lying about everything. Nuclear Inflation Cost of living Gaza citizenship #auspol

Remember there are several Liberal politicians a party members attending this event #auspol

Another reminder of why Dutton is unfit to be the PM.. The list keeps on growing, now at 85. Pretty sure there are hundreds more reasons over this miscreant’s entire career in politics. & let’s not forget his stint in the QLD police force 💩 independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

ICYMI, pleased to have written this on Trumpism and Australian politics for @johnmenadue.com, and to see it run in @thenewdaily.bsky.social. www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025... #auspol

Remember, the ALP and LNP have been trying to get the fix in for some time. For a lot of folks, myself included, the summaries of it are convoluted and dull. But the Honest Government Ad folks have you covered. Please, preference other parties first. #auspol www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kYI...

Tomorrow morning live on Youtube and Facebook, instead of complaining about Insiders, we are making a better version of it. #SundayShot Featuring @davemilbo.bsky.social , @instanterudite.bsky.social , @janecaro.bsky.social , @joshbornstein.bsky.social and @sarahschwartz.bsky.social

Not long after I submitted my application to the national redress scheme I received a phone call from the local police where the abuse occurred. The Catholic church had reported my application to police after the government provided my application to the church.

Well, at least it got that one right.

A week after leaving x/Twitter, my insomnia is softening, I am more productive at work and have had no nightmares. I am happy to bequeath all the mental torture to the right. It will demobilise them.

Also tonight's events... If you're the person who left a note on my car telling me off for parking like a dickhead tonight: The first thing I said to my daughter when we got to the car - before I saw the note - was "Oh shit! Look at my parking!" I'm very sorry. It was absolutely fucking woeful. 😔

My laptop has done an update, and now Word is forcing Copilot on me, and I am livid. I want it to go away. It's not *enabled*, but I have to see the icon hovering on the side of the page, begging to be used. The tips and tricks for removing Copilot aren't working. @microsoft.com, this is TRASH.

Antoinette Lattouf’s unlawful dismissal case against the ABC reveals the extreme lengths to which the media establishment will stoop to silence dissenting voices. www.greenleft.org.au/content/latt...

This is worth sharing. @australianlabor.bsky.social needs to watch it too, then #CancelAUKUS.

🇺🇸 you cannot be serious! David Rowe exposes you

The only people who vote for the Greens are people who don’t really know them. NOT EVEN TURNING UP to vote on anti-hate legislation is consistent with decades of obstruction and abandonment of progressive issues. They’re snobs who treat Labor like ugly servants. It is disgraceful. #auspol #springst

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Such a disconnect between news and other content. Fix the news arm of the ABC and it will be worth saving. The ABC doesn’t need commercial channels to try and destroy it. It’s doing a fine job of doing that from within. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi...

They can give my three cents to our #abc #auspol #Australia #politics #Dutton

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

#AusPol Australia should block this fascist platform too.

Signed!
