I remember being disgusted by Beazley re the Tampa. And Rudd and Gillard (for different reasons). But Albanese and Wong have left me utterly ashamed of the current Australian Labor Govt. 😔 #auspol

Sadly, yes. The quote is provided by the Daily Aus on Insta. #auspol

Dear @senatorwong.bsky.social
Trump's US Govt funding of Israel's brutal occupation and ongoing genocide hardly qualifies him for receiving the #NobelPeacePrize. The Australian Labor Govt have zero principles, decency, humanity or credibility with obscene comments like this. 😠 #auspol #GazaGenocide

Maybe the Nobel Prize committee could give Trump a participation ribbon. After all, you can't have peace without a US Govt funding Israel's occupation and genocide in the first place. 🤔 #USPolitics #NobelPeacePrize #DonaldTrump #GazaGenocide #IsraeliTerrorism

"Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk" (2025). Director Sepideh Farsi's doco depicts life in Gaza during Israel's #GazaGenocide, featuring Palestinian photojournalist Fatima Hassouna. She was killed by Israel along with 9 members of her family on 16 April 2025. Film release in Aus: 20Nov. #film 🎥

Now don't say that! Because that irritates me! 😂 😂 😂

I wonder how much money the gambling industry donates to Labor. Independent Senator David Pocock has integrity. Our Govt does not. 🤔 #auspol #ParliamentarySportsClub #sports #gambling #lobbying

AUS Foreign Minister Penny Wong's fawning praise of Trump is vomitous. No mention by Wong of the billions of dollars of arms provided to Israel by the USA for its genocide in Gaza? Srsly?! This is abhorrent commentary from Wong. 😔 #auspol #USPolitics #NobelPeacePrize #GazaGenocide

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.

I could see this as a real book. (Obvs ghost written by Stephen Miller.)

Yep. I am so unbelievably disappointed by Albo and Labor on so many policy issues. Plus their engineering increasing lack of transparency too. And then they have the brazen audacity to be posting boastful TikToks praising themselves. It's so insulting. Not happy Jan. #auspol

YouTube video by Kangaroo Court of Australia NACC CEO Philip Reed ducking and weaving answering questions at Parliament Committee - 7-10-25

The #NACC is plagued by conflicts of interest, maladministration, cover-ups, and a pattern of secrecy and lack of accountability for its actions. Watch this video from the most recent Parliament Committee. @australianlabor.bsky.social @greens.org.au #corruption #auspol

I'm looking forward to Liberal MPs cheerfully telling any news media camera "Sussan Ley is my Leader. And I'm ambitious for her." 😏

The 2025 #NobelPeacePrize will be announced Fri 10Oct 11am CEST (Fri 10Oct 8pm AEST). I'm hoping it's shared by the UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories @franceskalbs.bsky.social AND the #GlobalSumudFlotilla. #SaveGaza #FreePalestine

The TikTok custom of "If you keep scrolling, you don’t care about ...[insert important issue]" reminds me of the Facebook posts 20yrs ago "Jesus said 'Whosoever is ashamed of me ...' Copy and post this to prove you're not ashamed of Jesus." Vile emotional manipulation. #SocialMedia #TikTok #Facebook

As the world looks on in horror at Israel's #GazaGenocide and many Australians are struggling with the #CostOfLiving crisis, Pauline Hanson (on a salary of $233,660) is outraged she ripped her paper shopping bag! Clueless. #auspol

You have very good taste in music! And family. And food! (Your food posts on social media are a joy.) 😋 🙏 💐

Listening to Jimmy Barnes' 1990 album "Two Fires". So many good songs: "Lay Down Your Guns", "Let's Make It Last All Night", "Little Darling", "When Your Love Is Gone", "Love Is Enough", "Between Two Fires". #AusMusic #music 🎶

As an Australian Federal Senator, Pauline Hanson's base salary is $233,660 per year, plus an annual electorate allowance of $39,700. And her big contribution to govt policy discussion: complaining about Woolworths' brown paper shopping bags. #auspol

Is it just me ...
When AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social talks about Israel and Palestine or when he talks about Pacific island nations, he sounds like a colonialist. I'm beginning to think he left his Labor values behind when he finished uni. #auspol

Pauline Hanson announces she CAN fight her way out of a paper bag! #auspol

• Labor: 5% deposit for home loan (rather than actual public housing)
• Liberals: fighting one another still
• Nationals: anti-renewables
• One Nation: upset by brown paper shopping bags
• Greens: principled stand on #Gaza
• Independents: principled policies on a range of important issues. #auspol

The @guardian publishes the names of Gaza children killed by Israel. 18,457 and growing.

(“Does not include thousands still buried under the rubble”) www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Now Pauline Hanson's doing whiny videos about Woolworths shopping bags?! One Nation: the fresh fool people. #auspol #Woolworths

When Trump claims Israel & Hamas have agreed to the First Phase of his Peace Plan, which includes the release of ALL the hostages, ... um, does that include the thousands of Palestinian hostages (incl. children) held w/o charge or trial by Israel?! 🤔 #IsraeliTerrorism #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

Palestine Action Group's Rally
Nationwide March for Palestine
Sunday 12 October 1pm
Hyde Park North, Sydney
Note: The court has ruled against a march to the Sydney Opera House, so the march will be through the city along George St to Belmore Park. #auspol
#FreePalestine #SanctionIsrael

Given everything that's happened, is currently happening and is likely to happen, the school history textbook will surely be titled: "Absolute Cluster F*ck: 21st Century World History". #USPolitics #UKPolitics #Israel #Gaza #Climate

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social
After the Nakba, the occupation of Palestine, West Bank settlements, the blockade of Gaza, the detention of 1000's w/o trial (incl. children), Israel is now committing genocide in Gaza.
• #SanctionIsrael
• Expel the Israeli Ambassador.
• End arms sales to Israel. #auspol
