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. We held a Politics in the Pub event with @johnbutlermusic.bsky.social to see what can be done.

Medicare is not safe in Peter Dutton’s hands. He can’t find the $600b he needs to build nuclear reactors without coming after Medicare again, just like he did when he was health minister. #auspol #ausecon #insiders

Our parents’ generation fought to defeat Hitler. Now here are Trump’s henchmen Musk and Bannon casually making Nazi salutes to appeal to their audience of fascist incels. Even the French far right can’t stomach it. Justice cannot come soon enough for these bastards.

Please tell me that this #abc730 report on ‘gas shortages’ is going to say that we produce plenty of gas for our needs - but we export the vast majority possibly leaving us in shortfall? #auspol

Labor builds, creates jobs , infrastructure and works towards reconciliation. LNP wrecks, keeps wages stagnant and creates division by refusing to stand in front of the Indigenous flag. Have seen it for decades . Labor inherits a mess, rebuilds and LNP enabled by msm takes credit for Labor’s work

New numbers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that real wages have now grown for five consecutive quarters under the Albanese Labor Government. This is a stark contrast to the Liberals, where real wages fell in the five quarters in the lead up to the election. #auspol #ausecon

Sally McManus says the reason living standards started falling are bcoz of the former Liberal government who oversaw a wages system that was “totally, utterly broken” & who were “keeping wages low” as a “design feature” for “10 whole years”💥#AfternoonBriefing youtu.be/hmFO2wFdqLY?...

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

“Angertainment” is a media strategy that feeds into culture wars, division, hate & chaos in our communities. It’s constant sound bites of emotive content that has little relevance or factual content.. Its saturation drowns out facts, evidence & truth. It’s a distraction that benefits Dutton.

Figures out this week show AGL is charging more to households for electricity and gas than it does businesses. If households got the deal businesses did AGL: customers would save on average $840 a year in gas and $957 on electricity - $1,797 a year. How is this fair? #auspol

Donald Dutton says that if he wins election, that he would “clean up the government’s mess”. I’d like to know what he thinks that “mess” is? Because all Temu Trump will do is remove freedoms, give Gina and other Liberal donors more tax breaks and government contracts, and make climate change worse

Apart from fabricating lies about Dreyfus that are left unchecked & unchallenged by MSM.. Dutton appears to hve an epic absence of empathy & humanity. He’s using Dreyfus’ absence from the House when Dreyfus’ wife passed away from cancer as a weapon. How fkn low can Dutton go to obtain power?

The actual dear fuck to god, this is beyond appalling, it is absolutely sewer stuff. 52 members of Dutton’s Liberal/National parties voted to silence the most senior Jewish politician in Australia WHILE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT AUSCHWITZ. Read it. click.email.fairfaxmedia.com.au?qs=162b7eb9c...

David Littleproud has crawled out from under his rock this morning, virtually claiming that a Coalition government is the only way ahead for Australia and the US in relation to Trump's tariffs. Expect to see the MSM amplify this in their pursuit of a Dutton led government.

ABC employees who appear to be working incognito with the Murdoch media should be terminated immediately imo. It's a public funded broadcaster, not another RW platform devoted to the promotion of the LNP. The ABC has lost its way and is in urgent need of a total revamp across the board.
