This was a bad decision @albomp.bsky.social One that will be held against you for decades. It will come back to bite you every time you try to claim the high moral ground on climate change. www.smh.com.au/business/the...

Three months have passed since the NACC promised an “impartial & fair investigation” into Robodebt. Nothing has been heard since. @FahyMichelle & @LizMinter #auspol michaelwest.com.au/deafening-si...

Australia can tear up contracts, just look at the French subs and Darwin Port. But seemingly we only do it when Washington talks. But not when mineral minerals and fossil fuel miners rob us all blind. “Sovereign interest” is selective. #auspol

The gas industry, run by sociopathic millionaires, provides nothing to Australia. This filthy, illness-causing, & cultural/climate/enviro vandal-vampire industry is sucking out the money that should be going to schools & hospitals while the gormless government skips about going la la la.

Our ASEAN partners watch on anxiously as Australia’s defence minister blithely adds fuel to the escalating economic and military tensions between Washington and Beijing. None of them want Australia to provoke China. #auspol #ASEAN #USChina

The PM is misguided thinking there’s no need for a gas reservation policy because he already has a power to stop exports. The ADGSM power he refers to is an emergency measure, not one that ensures an everyday abundant of gas supply in the local market. 1/2 #auspol

One of the very noticeable things about #AUKUS is the ease with which top politicians in all three countries gloss over practical realities. This ease flows from the fact that none of them will be around when the fantasy ship hits the rocks. #auspol

New research has found people are falling through the cracks of an over-burdened social housing sector. Demand for housing has grown while the number of people helped into homes has slowed around the country. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social

One of the trucks involved in the operation against the Russian airbases. This allegedly in the Amur region. Some people thought it would be clever to „stay“ near a burning truck with some not yet deployed drones.

Absolutely insane footage! Strategic Russian aviation getting wiped out on an unprecedented scale.

The Russian losses exceed everything I have been seeing in this war. Four Tu-95 strategic bombers and one An-22 transport plane in Olenya airbase, Murmansk region, are ablaze. In this is only this airbase, and only a portion of it.

*Killed amid gunfire* Not by it. Not by anyone in particular.

Sure, sex is good but it’s even better when it starts with Ukrainian drones taking out airfields full of bombers on Russian territory. I may need a cigarette.

Someone referred to Karoline Leavitt as Taco Belle, and I just couldn’t resist.🤭

A 👇speech👇 written for Richard Marles by the Defence Department. Summary; ‘An arms race is underway so we must do more to help the US remain the paramount power.’ It’s US interests at the fore while pulling us into conflict with our #1 trading partner. #auspol

This Tory piece of shit needs to go. He’s tying us to an insane regime. He’s setting up his future career. Albanese needs to sort this out. #AusPol

Wow. So much money and such a fuck up.

The courts have taken a very hardline against McBride, a non-violent offender who revealed actual evidence of Australian war crimes following his duty under the Nuremberg Principles to do so. #auspol #Mcbride

Everybody dance! 🎵

The Govt has approved one of the biggest fossil fuel projects in our history The NW Shelf Extension threatens to destroy 47,000 yr old petroglyphs & will drive more extreme bushfires, droughts & floods. This isn’t leadership- it’s a betrayal of our future www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8979259/

Recto - verso. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Corporate media was a little quiet on this one 🤔

Isn’t that nice? Woodside are willing to keep selling gas solely for the benefit of all Australians — First Dog on the Moon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
