On one hand, all lefty boomery types do is talk about News Corp. On the other hand, we still don’t really talk enough about it. Every single prominent act of McCarthyist censorship over the past 15 months in the arts or media has begun with an article in The Australian.

If the proposed laws around mandatory sentences targeting alleged ‘antisemitism’ were targeting all racism and had been around during the Voice debate, we’d have had to build new jails. I’d be feeling pretty unappreciated if I was an Indigenous Australian. #auspol

Looks like those “locals” heckling Albo on the NSW coast re wind farms were Liberal rent-a-crowd sycophants & not genuine residents. What you see on the news, media & SM sources regarding any harassment of Albo & Labor in the lead up to the election should be regarded with skepticism & suspicion

The Liberal Party of Australia has made an ad about its Nuclear Plan, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBqV...

DJT, on Gaza - "Everyone I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land." So, Bibi and the Arrakis sand worms in 47's head then. NO ONE ELSE THINKS THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.

So I just got a call from Services Australia asking me about my mum. I think it was a legit call. The woman then asked for my DOB and mum’s DOB for procedure. Felt really scammy to me. So I said no. She said it’s procedure. They need a better procedure. #Auspol.

Australia is not like America. We won't tolerate the oligarchy of billionaires running our government, paying no tax and laughing all the way to the bank. Dutton mimics all of Trumps policies including to sack public servants and give the work to consultants at 3 times the cost.

Dutton mimics all of Trumps policies including to sack 36,000 public servants and give the work to consultants at 3 times the cost .. Just like Morrison did .. Cost $20 Billion for one year. #auspol #Greens #DuttonTheDud @barbarapocock.bsky.social

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

Tedious to wake each morning to find wall-to-wall coverage of the latest slew of Trump atrocities…

Let me be clear, our soldiers never went to war to fight for Australia Day to be held on the 26 of January. How fcuking stupid are people. Further, Aboriginal soldiers also went to war. Dumb arses!! Celebrate Australia Day, each to their own but for fuck sake keep shit real.

Powerful image of 2016: Naomi Hogan presents Turnbull with a map of Australia which reveals that 37.3% of Australia is covered by coal and gas licences and applications. That amounts to 285 million hectares - an area almost 13 times the size of Great Britain! www.lockthegate.org.au/australian_m...

If for no other reason to not vote in Dutton, the chances of a Trump visit to Oz would probably be much less under a Labor govt.

Imo all politicians do is tinker with things as they are. No vision, no radical people/climate focused policy, no guts. The preferential voting system guarantees it continues. In the current model the only way to force change is to put both major parties last and 2nd last #independents #auspol

If you live in Melbourne, remember this bloke permitted all the 3AW and 2GB attacks on our elected government during a health crisis. He employed Ben Fordham in Sydney. He let The Age and SMH become what they are. He oversaw a culture of sexual harassment and bullying. Our ABC, gorn. #AusPol

It's interesting how debt is only an issue if Labor runs it up. $271bn when LNP came to power was a disaster apparently. $1trn under LNP wasn't newsworthy. No surpluses under LNP. Smaller than forecast surplus under Labor is another disaster. And we buy this crap from the media #auspol

Dunno which is worse: that someone senior in public life like the shadow treasurer should speak in such paper thin platitudes or that those same platitudes might be politically effective. Despair.
