Albo's flippant answer carries all the disdain and hubris of a party who feels it doesn't have to answer to the people. But he will at the next election when we put more people like Zali in the halls of power. #Independents who answer to us. #Auspol

Image of a lady sitting at the stump of a 1000+ year old tree with the caption of Why is that a 100 year old buildings are listed as historically important and protected, but a 1,000+ year old are can be cut down to make furniture. Capitalism sux.

Just a perfect image of Trump

Penny Wong accidentally saying the quiet bit out loud - for Labor the US relationship is more important than the Australian environment. Who do this lot think they work for?

Please share if you care about the environment

One speculates that the ‘critical minerals’ deal struck with the #Trump regime by @albomp.bsky.social will be just another chapter in the Great Australian Resource Heist - containing obscenely generous one-sided commercial terms similar to those offered to the gas extraction cabal

Kevin being Frank

Sub-par reassurances

'Climate trigger' formally ruled out of environment laws A "climate trigger" that could be used to block coal and gas projects has been formally excluded from the government's overhaul of Australia's environment laws, minister Murray Watt confirms.

The @australianlabor.bsky.social party can spin this more than
Warney's Gatting Ball, but the lack of a climate trigger is utterly absurd, almost as absurd as their deceptively named 'Safeguard Mechanism'. The drip-fed EPBC 2.0 details are not looking great www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10....

Thanks to Murray and his ALP pals, weather reports like this will become increasingly scary and weird

Albanese at the White House: Trump endorses Aukus, signs $8.5bn rare earths deal and calls PM ‘great leader’ President says US has no better friend than Australia but tells ambassador Kevin Rudd “I don’t like you’

Nuts to see the widespread media backpatting of Albanese after he ensures Aus critical minerals will be

- Shipped to a country that'll use them for weapons and AI slop data centres instead of for the energy transition

- Extracted in an env toxic way thanks to the deregulation promised in the deal

Australians are the biggest gamblers in the world, and the government has taken little action despite strong public support.

‘We know from the polling that we’ve conducted that the majority of Australians, about 75%, would support a ban on gambling advertising.’

Jesus, how tight is Gina's grip on his testicles?

Gas leak cover-up shows Australian governments are captured by the gas industry It's been revealed that Santos’ Darwin LNG gas export terminal has been leaking large amounts of climate-destroying methane gas for 20 years - and gas

This comes after a Santos gas terminal in Darwin was revealed to be leaking massive amounts of methane - and both our governments and Santos failed to act.

Inpex has been under-reporting cancer-causing emissions from its Icthys LNG plant in Darwin, as reported this week in The Australian.

The people of Darwin deserve answers, and real action to protect their health.

Fucking shameful.

Burn the place to the ground. If they can’t report on that then how can you trust anything they do.

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social
You're supposed to be the PM of an independent sovereign nation. Australians don't want a PM who will obsequiously fawn over Donald Trump. You speak as if Australia is a vassal state of the corrupt US Empire. Shame on you. #auspol #USPolitics #EndAUKUS

RFK VIBES:

Measles return is what US needs

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Some of the clients of the lobbying firm the Prime Minister is currently the President of include:

Ampol Australia Petroleum P/L (fossil fuels)

Lion P/L (brewing, alcohol)

Pfizer Australia P/L (pharmaceuticals)

Serco Australia P/L (defence, immigration)

Responsible Wagering Aust (gambling)

Watt nears deal with Coalition to finally overhaul environment laws Environment Minister Murray Watt will sit down with his Liberal counterpart Angie Bell today, with quiet optimism in both parties that a deal might soon be struck to finally rewrite Australia's "broke...

Just so we’re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation.
And Watt is already admitting it won’t have a climate trigger …

He really likes getting the girls out, doesn't he?

You'll never forget this description of the orange bloat!!

Who can forget this description??

Fossil fuel lobbyists flood Canberra as agencies and media exposed in 2025 F-List - Comms Declare Comms Declare and Clean Creatives today released the F-List 2025, exposing the scale of fossil fuel influence in Australia’s advertising, PR, lobbying and media sectors.

In Canberras Parliament House nearly a quarter of all registered lobbyists are from the fossil fuel industry. Yet FF workers represent only 1% of the workforce.

Could explain why even new MPs fire back FF talking points when we visit them ie ‘gas is a clean transition fuel’.

Not sure what is worse:
- the Australian government pursuing a "special relationship" with fascists, or
- almost all of the Australian mainstream media in denial about the nature of the Trump regime. #FarRight #AUKUS #auspol

Our belligerent, authoritarian AUKUS partner True allies share common visions, common objectives, common strategies, common standards of behaviour and common criteria of success.

True allies share values & vision. Australia & the US no longer do. America is fractured, authoritarian, reckless abroad & complicit in genocide. Yet Canberra clings to the myth of the alliance. It’s time to face reality & chart our own path. #AusPol #US #Alliance

The real reasons why Kimmel’s show is off the air - Poynter FCC Chair Brendan Carr called for the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show, and corporate media leaders obliged.

Some US media companies are still brave enough to call it for what it is ... The Poynter Institute is one:
