Man who raped women, defrauded people who paid his scam charitable trust & university, incited the desecration of our Capitol, defrauded banks, obstructed justice, and failed to pay taxes on his father's big estate--without *any* consequences--wants you punished if you light up one unoccupied car.

Some powerful heartfelt statements from a Canadian re America. The language used clearly reflects their values - impressive

With military weapons full of microcode, it seems some weapons contain an undeclared function where they can be disabled by the manufacturer. So buying a weapon from a military power that no longer behaves like a good friend must carry a hidden risk - where does this leave Australia?

Genocide is genocide regardless of who the perpetrator is. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/trum...

This, right here..

Bob Brown: “Albanese cannot expect thoughtful Tasmanians to vote or preference Labor if he condemns our natural wildlife on the altar of the foreign corporations who run the rotten Atlantic salmon industry,” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Another reason to be less of a friend to America. An Australia that is more individual, a better global citizen and a great innovator seems more desirable

No! People who elect an independent aren’t trying to “send a message” to major parties. 🤦‍♂️ They are DONE with major parties! They have elected someone who will genuinely represent their interests in parliament, instead of an ideology-bound, party-following robot. #AusVotes2025 #auspol

Take Note #Australia ! We need INDEPENDENT media, holding truth to power, now more than ever. (That includes Social Media) #Mastodon #Fediverse #Auspol

This toxic, bad neighbour, environment destroying, tax avoiding industry is best fixed by voting out politicians who don’t stand for their communities…

Really scary minority government 🤔 …..wait

Costa Rica has massively rewilded over recent decades. Has this led to the collapse of farming, rural society, or national wellbeing? Totally the opposite, and we in Ireland have SO much to learn from their example. My piece for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...

Tasmania is stunningly beautiful. This industry as a corporate citizen is a big fail, leaving a toxic environment and little impact to our economy. Support Tasmanians by not buying the product

YESTERDAY: "There is no substitute for Starlink." --Elon Musk, bragging about how dependent Ukraine is on his product. TODAY: "We are shipping 40,000 units to Ukraine to replace Starlink." --Eutelsat, a French satellite company.

The solutions to our biggest problems exist already - we are lacking political will and interference from big money. How good would it be for all of us to be pulling together to fix the big issues?

party time!!

The first step towards voters taking control of democracy. How revolutionary is this thinking!!!

Fine analysis by First Dog. I especially love 'the Cabinet of Whiny Bivalves'. An image that suits my brain just fine ...

“political leaders insist that mining and forestry underwrite Australian prosperity. I will state it plainly. Those who believe this nonsense cannot be trusted with the wellbeing of future generations.” Ken Henry nails why LNP and Labor are on the nose. #auspol www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

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.

Who says you have to vote for one of two parties? Well the two parties do. We can do better. Starting with a Parliament that delivers as the people have voted. Some great thinking and writing by Tim Dunlop tdunlop.substack.com/p/honest-pol...

🇦🇺ns shouldn’t be living below the poverty line in their retirement. The expert cttee I got govt to legislate recommended a significant ⬆️ of Commonwealth rent assistance. Until we start properly taxing the export of our gas, I don’t want to hear “we can’t afford that” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Standing together against tyranny - way to go! vt.tiktok.com/ZSMemFqN6/

This is shameful!! Tell me again how the billionaires ripping minerals from our soil - don't pay for it and don't pay taxed?! #auspol

A very easy way to send a clear message against ugly fascism.

There is a great time to be a more independent, values strong Australia.

The United Kingdom's last coal-fired power station, Ratcliffe-on-Soar, closed on September 30, 2024. This marked the end of coal-powered electricity generation in the country after 142 years.  #RenewableEnergy #auspol www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A reminder Israel has no legal right to be determining what enters Gaza and does not. It has CLAIMED this control as right at gunpoint, holds this control at gunpoint & is aiming those guns at the heads of children. EVERY Palestinian man woman & child is a HOSTAGE. #Auspol #Gaza #Palestine #Israel

There are many events at the moment that can give rise to despair, moral injury. Staying in touch with our values; while recognising what is going on; and then acting on change no matter how small is empowering

One thing the Labor Party and the Coalition agree on more than anything else, is their entitlement to a 2 party system and the advantages it can bring. When they both rush through Electoral Legislation changes just prior to an election we need to call 'foul'. A 'Stand up for our democracy' petition

The effect of the billionaires is in plain sight now. George Monbiot on oligarchy

They've given up pretending. My SMH/The Age cartoon.

It took two weeks to get both Zieg Hails at a rally and a declared plan for ethnic cleansing from this administration. Two weeks.

If ever there was a time to not go down the path of stupid. It is time to act for our values, for each other and Australia. It is well past time to reject failing media, lying politicians, damage to our democracy and rampant greed from free loading corporations and individuals

If we don't have room for immigrants willing to work, maybe we should make room by deporting the white supremacists unwilling to think.

With a dismal political landscape at the moment for Australia, where will our future leaders come from when our education system is limited by inequality. A great article by Barb Dadd johnmenadue.com/where-is-the... #auspol

Quietly standing up to the bullies - very effective if enough do it

“deliberate extermination of a large population group or nation, aiming to eradicate their future, is genocide. According to ICJ, Israel’s war amounts to genocide resulting in deaths of 48,156 Palestinians Inc 17,841 children. major parties supported Israel’s war & supply of intelligence & arms.”

If we understand the politics of what is dividing us, we are better prepared to stand together for a better Australia
