Seriously, council politics need much more attention. The real fruitcakes always start out in councils.

Victoria, did you know that your premier @JacintaAllanMP stood with the Torres Strait Islander flag last week? Our Queensland premier & his deputy refuse to acknowledge the flag or the Indigenous flag.

I can't vote in Victoria but she got my vote. #qldpol

Australia calls for de-escalation over Iran as Coalition endorses US strikes The Australian government has stuck to its position of de-escalation in the wake of the Trump administration's attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites, stopping short of endorsing the key ally's action...

β€œCurrent and past Liberal politicians were quick to offer their strong support for the [Trump] strikes [on Iran], calling on the government to do the same.” You see this is why the Liberals are unelectable. They’re determined always to be on the wrong side of history

Activists like Greta Thunberg care more about fame than facts When it comes to the moral high road, the likes of Thunberg seek to occupy ALL of it, no matter how muddled the thinking. This is precisely the problem.

I really dislike this smug, disingenuous, baseless type of critique of Greta Thunberg. For all the millions of narcissists, egotists, charismatic villains and disrupters, she’s a bleeding heart with the courage to take action beyond words. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

Don’t forget spreading lies about Michael Towke ruining his chance of preselection and replaced by Morrison.

#AuspolOligarchy, every bit malignant & tax evading as their #USA brothers. #USAdemocracy fell for multifactorial reasons but it begins w/ a corrupt right wing party winning the election w/ #MediaBaron endorsement.

#LNP is our GOP, bought & sponsored by oligarchs. #PutLNPLast always. #Auspol

Do the people who write Peter Dutton’s climate change policies believe in doing anything about climate change?

Dutton is not what this country needs, even in Opposition Though our original site will still be up for another couple of years, it is a horrid thought knowing that it will eventually be gone, and with it, thousands of articles that are a record [...]

From our archives:

β€œDutton is a mean-spirited man with no vision beyond his own self-interest.

If he is the best the Liberals can offer as an alternative Prime Minister, then they are destined to become irrelevant in modern day Australia.”

Peter Dutton is one of the wealthiest members of Parliament in Australia

The Dutton family own multiple properties, control a vast holding of corporate interests & had to change their arrangements so Peter wasn’t illegally in receipt of income from the Commonwealth as the owner of childcare centres

LA fire misinformation campaign goes into hyperdrive As firefighters, we can see that human induced climate change is making fire seasons longer and more intense. However, during big fires where there is lots of media coverage and commentary on socia…

This post about fighting misinformation about the LA fires is being repeatedly taken down by Facebook… WHY?!! 🀬

No one should get away with spreading lies. But right now, there are no federal truth in political advertising laws to stop vested groups from spending millions to spread misinformation. #Auspol #ElectoralReform #FightMisinfo #DefendDemocracy #TruthInAds #FairElections #StopTheLies

who is β€˜australians for progress’?

the AFR called it a grassroots organisation… which couldn't be more wrong.

…it’s really a coal industry funded LNP astroturf (fake grassroots) group started by failed liberal MP julian simmonds, former member for ryan who lost his seat to the greens in may 2022.

🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an β€˜astroturf’ group: β€˜australians for progress’.

using classic negative ad styling β€” complete with misinformation β€” billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

If we were really honest as a society we’d have a holiday in late December celebrating the birth of consumerism and a holiday in April commemorating the death of ethics
