Billionaire Gina Rinehart makes takeover bid for the Liberal Party via Andrew Hastie - LibSpill by Christmas? Billionaire Gina Rinehart is pulling the strings of the Liberal Party’s next leader Andrew Hastie and it stands out a mile away as Hastie, publicly and deliberately, undermines current Coalition and L...

Billionaire power plays, party infighting, and a looming leadership spill 👀🔥 Gina Rinehart’s influence over Andrew Hastie could shake the Liberal Party before Christmas. Democracy or dynasty? #AusPol #LibSpill kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2025/09/28/b...

Even after a thorough, excoriating royal commission, #robodebt is a stark reminder of how privileged powerful people get off Scotty free.

The conflict-of-interest-riddled performance of the #NACC commissioner maintains the cosy status quo:
the appearance of oversight, but no-one held accountable.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

This photo just about sums it up

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

This is extraordinary. How can people be so blind to what is happening??

The crowd at the State Library

Rally happening now at the State Library in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla that's under imminent threat from Israel as it approaches the Gaza coastline today. ✊🇵🇸

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

And still copying Trump. If there is no in-depth, honest reflection they have confirmed their status as dinosaurs.

#Auspol In my opinion, the Teal Independents who took Liberal blue ribbon seats at the last election are closer to old fashioned small L Liberals with a social conscience and believe in Climate change. They won and held the seats because most traditional Liberals are centre right not extreme

Australia’s rejection of Trumpish policies from the Liberal Party is like Melbourne rejecting Kyle and Jackie-O #auspol #kiisfm

Agree. There is a long timeline of cause and effect here.
All generated by self interest and the preservation of privilege - plus an inability to focus on the best interests of a nation, our future on this planet and our people - wonderful, colourful, diverse.

I’m feeling better about Australia’s future this morning than I have in a long while!
Well done Dickson! Well done fellow Australians!
My faith in our decency & democracy has been somewhat restored. Proud to be Australian 🙏🇦🇺🌏👍

The Liberal Party failed because they rested on their elitist, privileged backgrounds and forgot that Australian voters wanted genuine, thoroughly researched policies. I’d like to be a fly on the wall when they have their “honest conversations “ about the campaign.

Labor rounds on Greens ‘sabotage’ of emissions reduction plan Frontbenchers unleash on party for signalling it might vote with Coalition to stymie reform of safeguard mechanism

There are a lot of flabbergasted Greens supporters this morning.

This outcome was totally predictable as the Greens have moved from a grass roots environmental party (under Bob Brown) to an obstructionist party even on environmental issues.

In the end,
Everything comes down to
How you treat others.

Australia spoke decisively
to return the Labor Gov
under PM Anthony Albanese for a second term.

A testament to the fact that Character matters.

Congratulations to Australia for defeating right-wing populism at the polls.

My bet is on them going ‘full Hitler Youth’ with Hastie and Patterson as their dream team. Sussan keeps her job as the idiot sidekick.

Angus is a walking liability - stupid and crooked.
#auspol

Yep. The essential difference between ALP and Coal’n are the values.
One is inclusive, kind and respectful; the other is divisive, competitive, used anger as a motivator and only respects power. #auspol

Haven’t seen the breakdown of seats but wonder if the Nats are now dominating numbers.

I’m a rusted on Labor supporter but this movement towards Independents - Teals - is a tonic for our democracy.
The complete rejection of nastiness, division and short- term vote capture (ie: the rejection of the LNP) has made my heart sing.

Another historically Liberal seat has gone independent—congratulations, @nicboele.bsky.social! Nicolette secured the biggest swing against the Liberal Party in ’22 and has returned to win. She brings a strong head for finance, responsible investment, and clean energy to Parliament. #AusPol

What a night! HUGE congratulations to all the community independent MPs and candidates, their teams, and volunteers who worked so hard. So far looks like the indie MPs have retained their seats, @nicboele.bsky.social has won Bradfield 🥳 and other new candidates are close!

My dad is a rusted on Labor voter but Keith Wolohan was his local member and he had big respect for him as a local member. LNP have lost some good people because of the strong dislike of Dutton. People in Dad’s retirement village voted against him as they didn’t want Dutton. #auspol #ausvotes
