Seems like a good reason for Australia to not to rely on Starlink for our fire defence, if other options are available: “Ukraine was told it faced imminent shut-off of the service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals” michaelwest.com.au/us-could-cut... #auspol

This week, we have seen leaders in western Europe forced to move from fumbling cautious politeness to action as a result of the Trump’s various & wild pronouncements. There's no reason to think Australia's national interests will not be directly challenged in a similar way. Laura Tingle #auspol

“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.

This is what 30 years of denial and delay have brought us. This is what current government policy settings produce, and what they’ll continue to inflict on our coral reefs unless we turn back from the brink right now. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Just caught this ad. @elliesmith4dickson.bsky.social is right. This is a battle between the DEEP POCKETS of Dutton’s mining mates, and the T-SHIRTS of Ellie’s volunteers. She needs 200-300 new shirts for new volunteers who’ll have 30,000 extra voter convos by polling day. Winning it vote-by-vote

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Another magnificent achievement for humanity. We’d best increase gas production. That will help. #AusPol

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.

90% of WA’s gas is exported and the federal government gives them three quarters of the gas royalty-free. To add insult to injury, no gas export project has EVER paid PRRT. Big gas is taking the piss. Tonight in Fremantle with @johnbutlermusic.bsky.social, we'll discuss what to do about it. 🔗👇
