"The embattled head of Creative Australia has been served with two letters of complaint collectively written by staff, and a third signed by more than 600 Australian literary figures." If he had integrity, Collette would apologise to Khaled Sabsabi, and resign. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Thinking someone who isn’t sure about science probably shouldn’t be rolling out nuclear reactors. And Peter Dutton is - remarkably - still pushing nuclear “small-modular-reactors”…despite them costing almost four times more than renewables (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/duttons-smal...

Liberal Party sources reveal Albanese Govt upset Canberra contractors by rehiring them as public servants instead: "They loved their life as contractors. ... They were paid more." No kidding. Just reinforces @australiainstitute.org.au research that public servants are better value.

The Liberal Party sent a campaign with an unsubscribe link that sends voters to the party's postal vote data harvesting website instead of allowing them to opt out of communications. 😬😬😬 .. 🙄🙄🙄 #auspol

youtu.be/PoHZgsdbsdU?.... #EV This Council should be sacked for failing to do due diligence and respond to Disinformation spread by Ch 7. Had they reached out and researched they'd have learnt they were considering cancelling on a LIE. If this is your council contact them and complain Queensland

What in the "Mrs Darren Stevens from Bewitched" is this? Liberal party application for a postal vote arrived at our house. Who is it addressed to? "Mr A McKenna and family." Kudos for one letter not three, but why not just address it to "McKenna family" ? #Auspol

Dutton: "People have seen food prices go up by 30%." That's a lie (they went up by 12%) #leadersdebate

The whole “the coalition are better economic managers” line doesn’t really cut it right after Labor delivered 2 surpluses, halved inflation, lifted wages and all the rest #leadersdebate25

Peter Dutton says he will never stand in front of the Aboriginal flag as Prime Minister. I think we should vote to ensure he's right. 😏 #auspol #AusVotes25

"the evidence from ACT and overseas shows that capping rent increases could not only ease pressure on renters but on the whole economy." Rental caps work. But the major parties focus on home ownership [with shit policy] and ignore renters. #HousingCrisis #ausvotes www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

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.

Extraordinary how this Russia/Indonesia thing - which has been shown to be false - is taking up so much time by LNP and their media arm. It's agenda led propaganda created to promote an electoral outcome - it's as simple as that #auspol

Once more Dutton shows that he cannot treat any international issue with quiet and assertive diplomacy. He runs at anything like a frenzied bull at a gate and damn the consequences. He does not deserve to lead Australia.

Dutton was running around yesterday, screeching that “ the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming! “ and howling about “ a catastrophic failure of Australian diplomacy.” It was total bullshit. Worse it was grossly irresponsible.
