On climate protest, a superb point from @richarddenniss.bsky.social. If protest wasn't effective, govts wouldn't try to ban it. And as much as politicians like to talk about parliamentary logjams, as soon as fossil capital is threatened, they mobilise with extraordinary rapidity and efficacy.

Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

The LNP is burning money on ads that promote Peter Dutton as just an ordinary bloke. He's also travelling policy lite to the election, hoping to win a blank cheque from voters. They really don't want the real Peter to feature in the campaign. #auspol

The ALP & LNP think they’ve stitched-up our democracy to keep their snouts in the trough. But it doesn’t have to be so if you use your power to vote for independents. You can vote for better politics or you can have more of the same. It’s up to you. #auspol

@davemilbo.bsky.social getting to the crux of our times: “And as long as we can remain distracted from our gut feelings and cognitive dissonance, as long as we can unsee the painted-on horizon and fake plastic trees, these illusions can be comforting, almost convincing, even.”

"...our approach could have been better handled. We could, for example, have not set out to provoke racial hatred and further divide the country at this extremely fraught time, but then we remembered that that is the Daily Rupert's business model so, you know, oops"

In the not too distant future this image will open courses on what deep veins of hatred and entitlement took a rapid escalation from late 2024

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022. they had two options to arrest the decline: 1. win back trust with good governance & good policy 2. rig the system tonight they chose to rig the system. a dark day for australian democracy.

In House of Reps question time yesterday, there was no question about the #Whyalla steelworks. @albomp.bsky.social remained silent. Peter Dutton likewise. This is how vital manufacturing capabilities are lost; no bang, not even a whimper from the Canberra political duopoly. #saparli #auspol
