Within the space of 7 days the Albanese Labor Govt has welcomed the head of state of a country committing genocide - and given another $30b of our public money to the Trump fascist administration through AUKUS.

Can’t believe it #auspol

AUKUS is sinking and Labor responds by making up a $30 billion un-budgeted AUKUS announceable for the SA State election. This stuff is straying so far from reality.

Imagine looking at Australia with a a small population and huge space and sun and coast and thinking - let's have the most expensive form of electricity ever devised.

I don’t think the Liberals will win going full MAGA-anti-immigration. Australia has compulsory voting which buttresses against extremism. However, they will and already are doing a huge amount of damage to the migrant community in the meantime, and everyone should care about that, including media.

This approval is yet another reminder that Labor won’t stand up to big coal or big gas and take meaningful climate action.

They won’t fight for us.

Not while they’re beholden to the big fossil fuel corporations that fund their election campaigns.

Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension.

Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.

In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

Counting protesters down – how the Adelaide protest against Herzog was reported The Adelaide protest against the visit of Israel’s president drew thousands and passed peacefully. Yet its treatment in the media raises familiar questions about whose voices are amplified, whose are ...

"The protests in Australia over the visit of Israeli President Herzog tell us quite a lot about our media. Surely it is apparent that that media is a pro-Israel mouthpiece."

Two frames. 1. Lib Party Room, members huddled around table, one says “We have no policies, no principles, no vision, no credibility, no gravitas, no consistency, no popular appeal…” 2. Same scene, another says, “You’re right - Angus Taylor is the leader who best represents us.”

Wtf did they think was going to happen when they invited a war criminal who signed bombs destined to annihilate children…a member of a govt already dividing Australians.

It’s the govt people are protesting…not the people.

…and we should always be able to protest governments no matter which ones.
