Australia’s political and media elites are losing control of the story Australia’s political and media establishments are struggling to adapt to a world where narratives can no longer be tightly managed. And attempts to restore authority through censorship, moral panic a...

"The public now realises that the major obstacle to social, economic and political change in Australia is an amorphous elite that encompasses both the ALP and the LNP."

The PM has failed for four years to properly justify the costs and explain the risks and alleged benefits of #AUKUS, especially as the US becomes ever more unstable.

Dismissing concerns now is the height of arrogance.

Albo Bjelke-Petersen is essentially telling us: "Don't you worry about that!"

Can find $300bn for subs we won't get. Can't be arsed to end poverty

Maybe we need a wave of mauve independents!

He's too petrified of the right wing commentariat TO DO ANYTHING

Since when is the President of Israel the head of state of all Jews?

What an absolute fake @albomp.bsky.social has turned out to be.

He’s gone from marching for Palestinians to cozying up to their oppressors.

We need a parliament of independents. Enough of this bullshit duopoly

State sponsored police brutality and violence there for all to see, but apparently this is the framing the Guardian would have us believe.
So glad I unsubscribed.

This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it. - Michael West NSW Police have assaulted dozens of peace protestors who gathered to protest the visit by Israeli president Isaac Herzog to Australia.

So much social cohesion

Keep being authentically you. It’s great 😊

Butter first?

No. We fucking hate you right now.

So the PM wants us to believe that "healing" and "social cohesion" after the Bondi massacre will be best achieved by the state visit of someone who is not only a genocide enthusiast,
but is allegedly an associate of Epstein's.

Poor judgment does not begin to describe Albanese's craven stupidity.

Legacy media in this country is the worst. Just this horse race bullshit. Constantly. No wonder I tune out.

It's so hard to choose, right? Protect our kids from gambling harm, or protect the perpetrators of that harm?

Weak. As. Piss.

U.S. economic dominance: Why we must break free Australia is rich in resources but poor in outcomes because our biggest industries are owned by the U.S.

If you were going to hold any religious institution in Australia to account, you’d start with the Catholic church

How is this not terrorism?

Wrong crowd...

All the money, none of the submarines: AUKUS deal paying upfront for hopes and dreams When Kerry Packer bought Channel 9 back from Allan Bond for effectively half the price Bond had sold it to him, Packer famously said “You only get one Alan Bond in your lifetime, and I’ve had mine”.

The greatest waste of taxpayer money in the history of our federation. Our money.

When will the people we elect be brave enough to act in our best interests - not those of a rogue state?

A very old photo too. She looks like a wrinkly old prune these days.

That’s my scene

That's a VERY old picture of Poorline. Please update in all her wrinkly glory.

Probably what they want, so Trump can invoke the insurrection act and declare martial law - thereby canceling elections. It’s the dictator playbook

Boycott the World Cup.
Boycott the Olympics.

I think what we are witnessing in the US right now is their own Tiananmen Square event.

Violent oppression and murder of peaceful unarmed protesters.

How will Australia respond? With submissive weakness or strength? I won't be holding my breath.

Third world despot stuff. What a shit-show of a cuntry.

Calling Someone 'Champ' To Be Banned Under New Hate Speech Laws EFFIE BATEMAN | Lifestyle | CONTACT It can be confirmed that not only is calling someone ‘champ’ now  banned under the government's new hate laws, but it will also be considered a category five level...
