The “Press Council” is another useless, inert, ineffectual organisation that was always intended to be a deflection. Appearance with no substance. Like the NACC. Waste of money. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...

One lesson from Fukushima is that REALLY BAD THINGS HAPPEN if you’ve got no water to keep the reactor cool. Peter Dutton simply hasn’t done his homework. Unready for nuclear. Unready for government. #auspol

This is not just ableism, it is supremacy. It is eugenics. It is Nazidom. Serious people in Australia need to start talking a little more seriously. I wish our journalists weren't a collective pack of private school dickheads that don't know anything other than how to deepthroat boot.

Just to reassure people, Peter Dutton has as much chance of leading the Liberal coalition to victory as I have of becoming the Pope He's spent the past 3 years grabbing headlines without putting in the work on substance & policies and now it's coming home to bite him A guaranteed failure of a man

I’m sorry she lost her daughter—but Kilmar Garcia had nothing to do with it. She’s twisting two different stories. Mad her tax dollars sent Sen Van Hollen to El Salvador—but not mad they’re funding Kilmar’s indefinite imprisonment w/out due process? One more time: easier to be angry than informed.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

'Coalition frontbencher Bridget McKenzie has claimed China and Russia are hoping for a Labor election victory because they don’t want Peter Dutton to become prime minister.' Seems they have a lot in common with a lot of Australians. Bridget's fast becoming one of the ALP's best campaign assets

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Australia's nurses pay more tax than the gas industry. How is that fair? Our billboard in Melbourne ⤵️ #auspol

Geez I’m spoiled. I got a knock on the door and it was the owner of the Ruby Blue Cafe here in Benalla. Jane @jane13barnes.bsky.social organised me a little Easter hamper for me,it’s loaded with gourmet tucker and orange juice. What a beautiful surprise for Easter.☺️☺️Ian

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Dutton refers to the CSIRO as a "green environmental group". Does he think it's an insult to call Australia's pre-eminent science org environmentally responsible?! Under Dutton, the Coalition is no better than Pauline Hanson's One Nation. #auspol #AusVotes25 #science #Climate #environmentalism

Out of your policies on tax, housing, getting dental into Medicine, ending logging of native forests & free childcare, which of these is non-negotiable for you? Adam Bandt “The non-negotiable thing is that we won’t support Peter Dutton.”🔥 Good policy 👍🤣#abc730

We're always told we 'can't afford' to lift JobSeeker or the pension. It's nonsense. "We're so rich we can drop a lazy $360 billion on nuclear subs we didn't know we needed. But when it comes to helping unemployed people, 'Oh, money doesn't grow on trees.'" @richarddenniss.bsky.social on #QandA.

Watching women float around in Oscar de la Renta flight suits and full-glam, polluting the stratosphere for what was essentially a press tour to make Jeff Bezos more money, while people are losing social security, wasn’t just weird, it was embarrassing. @lizplank.bsky.social
