ABSOLUTELY READ THIS!! (included swearing FULLY justified).

Unfortunately I have to concede that you are right David.

I'm sure I'm not the only Labor person to say so.

@albomp.bsky.social is all the way with the "Trumpet for War". He is incredibly disappointing.

Everyone needs to shout this.

Totally valid and you won't be alone in that. Honour that process, it's real.

It was literally the first thing I did when I opened my bluesky account 😅

Yep. But how is a very real point.

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?

The ALP in your head is long dead.

“Albanese has handed over our sovereignty, our tax dollars, our dignity, for belly rubs, selfies, invisible submarines, business as usual with fascists, and eternal genocide. May he be judged accordingly.“

This from The Shot should scare you #AusPol

He's a total legend, hey. Swears more than I do 😅

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

Advance conference 2026: some terrifying agenda setting alongside the strategy sessions.

Cheers to Dave for that title 🤣

I was praised for a calm voice in my writing yesterday (surprised me), but I let rip a bit more in this piece. Let me know if I should stick to my day job.

"Australians cannot begin to understand the Right’s collective shrug at the horrific toll of Israel’s violence without understanding that there is a transnational Islamophobia Industry.
...There is no genocide if Muslims are not understood as fully human."

Powerful right-wing regressive weirdos gather to plot at Atlas-linked conference in Australia - The Shot There is a transnational Islamophobia Industry of massive family foundations and “think tank” operations that have been generating fear and loathing of Muslims since the 1990s.

Here's @lucyham.bsky.social with a great piece of research about the local right-wing establishment social engineering operation occurring of late.

"Powerful right-wing regressive weirdos gather to plot at Atlas-linked conference in Australia"

Not this week, but eventually

First time I saw The Apprentice, I thought, "Hopefully someday I will be informed of this man's every bruise or skin condition."

The newly amalgamated Adelaide University brings utter shame upon itself in its first months of operation.

In a statement following this shocking act, it risibly claims it is a place where "exchange of ideas can happen freely".

Not if the ideas include a defence of the remaining Gazans, it seems.

Dave and Gary Foley

I had the pleasure of hanging out and interviewing the legend that is Gary Foley this week

It's an affront to our collective intelligence and empathy that indie journalists need to run around proving various bombed schools and hospitals aren't harbouring "terrorists". You should instinctively know that's nonsense and that American and Israeli regimes are FUCKING EVIL

Oh the irany 😏

Lol, US military commanders are telling their troops they're on a "spiritual mission" to bring about "Armageddon", and the Zionists have been using their old religious books to justify bombing kids in EIGHT fkn countries, and our media is like "IRAN IS AN UNHINGED THEOCRACY"

Yes, but they have put out some pretty convincing environmental propaganda, and really, isn't that what counts???

a chart showing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions being above the 43% target, and probably going to be above the 62% by 2035 target as well

* a chart showing that greenhouse gas emissions for both Anthony Albanese's first fourteen quarters and Scott Morrison's first 15 quarters have been pretty much roughly the same

- Australia's emissions continue to trend well above the trajectory towards the 2030 target of a 43% reduction (including unreliable land-use data)

- Albanese is 1 quarter away from matching Scott Morrison's tenure; fossil emissions have remained pretty much the same (this excludes land-use data)

Shut the fuck up
