Let’s be clear, Trump is now insisting that Ukraine stops “fighting” & cedes territory illegally gained through murderous invasion or America will “let them go and see what happens, let them fight it out”. In short, a full Russian win. Disgusting. Utter democratic betrayal.

"The Trump tariffs on our aluminium are a major test for the Albanese govt, could determine the election." FMD. Aluminium articles account for a bit over 1% of all our exports and just 13% of that goes to the USA. We really need to stop acting like pleasing Trump is vital to our economy

apple.news/A-nVYufUASGW... How ironic!! Katz, the Israel Def Minister insists “The people of Gaza should have the right to freedom of movement and migration, as is customary everywhere in the world.” How long has Israel suppressed the very right that Katz now demands!

The Jewish Council of Australia strongly condemns Donald Trump’s suggestion the United States will ‘take over’ the Gaza Strip and move Palestinian people elsewhere. You can read our full statements in the latest media release at jewishcouncil.com.au.

Hear! Hear! @janecaro.bsky.social tRump deliberately creating a maelstrom of malevolence to make it difficult to know what to prioritise, but there is #NoPlanetB! #uspoli #auspol #AusVotes25

And who cares what they want. They have nor should have any say in our policy

I welcome comments or articles from all independent candidates for the upcoming Federal election. It is my opinion that Australia is better off with independent candidates at least holding the balance of power. Both major parties, whether their tie is blue or red, or even green, have shown ...

I hope to God all the spineless leaders who haven’t stood up to Netanyahu yet will finally refuse to put up with his endless, toxic bullshit.

You might have seen reports of the Liberal Party whining that I, as your community independent, spend too much time "opposing the opposition." Here’s what the major parties don’t get: THIS IS NOT ABOUT THEM. IT’S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THEM. IT’S ABOUT YOU. 🧵

🎾 The Australian Open: $50 Billion Industry Meets School Holidays 🎾 With $50B wagered yearly, the Open is a jewel in Australia’s betting calendar. But during school holidays, kids watching sports are bombarded with gambling ads, especially online. Ban Gambling Ads. Now. #AusOpen #AO2025

Deakin!! There you are 🙌🙌🙌 #auspol

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Know the facts! Dont let Dutton fill the zone with lies and misinformation!

If you haven’t heard the term “astroturf” before, it’s political slang for faking a “grassroots” movement or organisation. I am no teal but supremely fuck this. I hope Monique and Allegra crush the disinformation barons like ants. Solidarity. #auspol

Be aware!

🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an ‘astroturf’ group: ‘australians for progress’. using classic negative ad styling — complete with misinformation — billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

Due to the impeccable timing of a delayed official press release, you probably haven’t heard that 40% of corals on the southern Great Barrier Reef died in 2024 due to record-breaking heat exposure. www.voanews.com/a/surveys-sh...

Climate change is an existential threat. We are already in a climate emergency. I expect and demand that our elected representatives will do nothing less than look after the immediate & long term health & welfare of all Australians. Not look after the actual climate criminals. Stop fossil fuels.

Trump’s first term was a disaster, his second will be even worse. Buckle up guys!!!

Damn straight I would

The Coalition like to make up myths about renewables to distract from their risky nuclear scheme. I jumped on the whiteboard to explain how they’ve gone wrong

"Australia has an opportunity to be the adult in the room...and it's not taking it." @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social on the constructive role Australia could play in bringing the United States and China together. 🎧 https://buff.ly/49JSXnJ #auspol @emmashortis.bsky.social

BHP's Mt Arthur thermal coal mine. Show this to the next person who has a whinge about wind turbines being an eyesore.

It’s genocide. It’s not even an argument. Israel will wear this stain for generations to come. It will never rub off. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Australians are paying thousands of dollars more in insurance premiums because of climate change. If you think the foreign owned coal and gas export corporations causing it should pay instead of you, sign our petition!

And many are still pretending the limit of 1.5 C of warming is achievable, while governments, including Australia’s, continue to expand fossil fuel production. #Cooked

Justified reaction I say!

#IstandwithMaryK

How great is this? On its launch day - Ronni’s book #Gunnawah - has reached Amazon’s Top 10 Best Sellers - in all 3 versions - Kindle, paperback & Audible. This is apparently uncommon - and this is also absolutely brilliant!! 🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌 #auspol Congratulations Ronni. So very well done 👏

When looking for an ideal choice to make plastic, you want something with high concentrations of cellulose, such as #hemp. Hemp’s manufacturing process doesn’t create hazardous compounds like benzene, and the energy required to produce hemp plastic is up to 45% less than traditional #plastic.

Not at all surprised that the PharmGuild lobby group were supporting a different prediction to the now proven actual positive impact.

awesome to see the hay community negotiating hard for benefit sharing from renewable developments. larger wind & solar projects have the ability to contribute more to their communities than they have been without destroying their business models. (coal generators were never as generous. 🤷‍♂️)

The ALP seems to have a death wish in sticking with Albanese and his failed strategy of kowtowing to the Murdochs, the US ‘alliance’, and the mining & gambling industries. As timid ‘centrists’ globally lose power, the far right taps into legitimate voter anger and redirects it toward evil ends.

World class sledging

We have sone workable solutions. Need the will

Dear @jimchalmers.bsky.social, Perhaps @australianlabor.bsky.social could remind Australians of this.👇 We need to stop funding the greed of mining billionaires at the expense of ordinary Australians. #auspol #energy #nuclear #renewables #education #healthcare

“Four infants in tents died from the cold last week…”Israel’s brutal war on civilians goes on… a mounting litany of war crimes.

Bring it it on

For decades, Australia has failed to collect enough income from our mineral and fossil fuel resources. We’re still collecting more on HECS than from the PRRT, our super-profits tax on oil and gas. (Hint: it doesn’t work). Successive governments have failed the next generations. This needs fixing.

WHO ‘appalled’ by Israel attack on northern Gaza’s last functioning major hospital

Necessity, the mother of all inventions ?

If you’re sick & tired of ALP/LNP duopoly there’s an alternative -community selected meritorious independents. Tom McIlroy AFR reports up to 30 crowd-funded independents will stand in 2025. “A full third of people don’t give their first preference vote to either major party” = Pathway to change.

Couldn’t agree more. The major duopoly have lost their way and are to beholden to lobby groups, Neither deserve to govern in majority!
