Media and political attacks on Australia’s emissions targets ‘straight out of the climate obstruction playbook’, expert says Prof Christian Downie points to the Business Council of Australia and News Corp newspapers as examples of deliberate obstruction

“The two big trends in climate misinformation are a transition from science denial to undermining climate solutions, and a strong emphasis on trying to discredit climate science by attacking climate scientists.”

Albanese Labor government has done enormous damage to Legal system in Australia by removing trust and credibility in this democratic institution, by refusing to address issues of systemic corruption and negligence, causing deliberate harm to the people and democracy.

New Australia Institute analysis reveals the supposed 'financial crisis' at the Australian National University is a lie.

On Saturday 4th October in London
a woman was arrested for holding a sign with “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” on it - a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour government’s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group (source: Defend Our Juries on x)

The Australian National Press Club's decision to cancel Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges' address is shameful. He was to speak on Israel's murder of journalists in Gaza and the media's silence on this. #IsraeliWarCrimes #JournalismMatters

Rodents, fire risks and overcrowding in seasonal worker housing: report A new housing report describes accommodation provided for some seasonal workers in Australia as dangerous, overpriced and overcrowded.

So, the Catholic Campion 'college' in Sydney offers qualifications for primary school teachers and has named a hall for a notorious pedophile and rapist-priest shielder, funded by an 'anonymous donor'? Was it Satan?

It seems most likely we are here. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Soooooo ... the "terrorist" didn't have a gun and "the good guys" with guns shot and killed/injured people in the Synagogue. Very alarming. I'm dreadfully sorry all of this happened. For Australians, this also reminds us of the Lindt Cafe tragedy involving the NSW Police.

Erasing Gaza's ecosystem Israel is rightly known for its technological prowess, not least when it comes to making war.

A recent article in The Guardian argues that Israel appears set to secure a new warfare breakthrough, “holocide – the complete destruction of every aspect of life in Gaza". Recommended arreticle from George Monbiot. #auspol #review #Gaza

Ageing UK nuclear-armed submarine completes 200-day patrol Another Royal Navy nuclear submarine has completed a 200-plus day patrol amid fears of shortages of vessels. The ageing Vanguard class submarine was welcomed back to port

Recently retired UK Defence Chief, Admiral Radakin, has decried the decrepit state of our #AUKUS partner's subsurface fleet, as it stretches patrols to "dangerous" durations to cope with issues keeping other subs at sea. Nothing to worry about🤦‍♂️. #auspol

The National Press Club of Australia, caving to the Israeli lobby, Cancels My Talk on Our Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists The National Press Club of Australia cancelled my talk on how the media, by amplifying Israeli lies, have betrayed Palestinian journalists, 278 of whom have been assassinated by Israel.

What an incredible act of cowardice by the National Press Club.
WTF.

It's very clear that our gov't led by @albomp.bsky.social (like all before it,to be fair) uses The United States as their blueprint for our own international affairs. Isn't it about time we stood up for ourselves & called out tyranny wherever it is and not the one selected by The Whitehouse? #Auspol

Exclusive: Anthony Albanese overruled push for public NACC hearings The Saturday Paper can reveal that the prime minister and other ministers from NSW intervened in cabinet to constrain the operations of the country’s leading integrity body.

As @albomp.bsky.social tries to amend the #FOI Act to wrap matters being considered by his ministry in total secrecy, we find out he also led the charge for the #NACC to never hold public hearings. He talks transparency, but walks secrecy. #TransparencyFraud #auspol

Snowy Hydro 2.0 flags another cost blowout with $12bn price tag now considered unachievable Pumped hydro project in Kosciuszko national park is 67% complete, but supply chain cost increases and issues with a borer have caused cost overrun

Snowy 2.0. It went from $2B, to $6B, to $12B, and now ??? I’m currently in the Federal Court trying to get access to their project reports. They say the reports are THEIR business, not OURS, even though WE get to pay for the blowouts. 🤷‍♂️ 1/2 #FOI #auspol

Does a single one of the Australian National Press Club 'people' care about the murder of hundreds - HUNDREDS - of journalists, photographers, news crews & support staff in Gaza? The 'Freedom of the Press section' of its website has two entries from 2022, about China & Russia.

Oh, perfect—Project 2025’s idea of “unity” is just robbing blue states blind. Nothing says serving all Americans like selectively looting taxpayers based on whether they voted for you. It’s less a budget plan than a mob shakedown: “Nice state you got there… shame if the feds stopped funding it.”

Now he's an Oppn backbencher, with no portfolio limits, Andrew Hastie will be available for lots of interviews on ABC News (Afternoon Briefing, Insiders) and Sky News After Dark, and op-eds in Nine and NewsCorp papers. And the Coalition moves further to the Lunatic Fringe Far Right. 🙄 #auspol
