#AtlasNetwork government = rule by fossil fuel corps, with a whole lot of racism thrown in to divide and conquer the electorate as your citizens rights and govt services are eviscerated. #FossilFascism

Just went to my local library and found out where it all went wrong had 50 people on the reserve list. Thank you - I really, really appreciate the effort and the curiosity to understand our world a bit better 🩷

Advance conference 2026: some terrifying agenda setting alongside the strategy sessions.

Cheers to Dave for that title 🤣

I was praised for a calm voice in my writing yesterday (surprised me), but I let rip a bit more in this piece. Let me know if I should stick to my day job.

The Media Held Politicians To Account During The Iraq War. What Changed? Outside of elections, the media is the only real mechanism of accountability for our government. So far, it's failed to do its job on the illegal war with Iran.

Quite telling to compare how Kerry O’Brien interviewed John Howard about Iraq to Sarah Ferguson’s bizarre efforts this week. I wrote about it www.lamestream.com.au/the-media-he...

So 3 Australian personnel were on the US war ship which dropped a torpedo on an Iranian vessel which was accompanying an Indian vessel - and the people from the Iranian vessel were deliberately left for dead.

Is this right? #auspol

For the love of god don’t give us a candle. What real self care looks like to prevent burnout for those squished between layers of care . podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/c...

And Anne Aly was sent out to take the bullet.

Ah yes, cutting funding to Muslim groups because of a social media post by the far-right Australian Jewish Association. The textbook definition of social cohesion

Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming at the Advance conference State Liberal (conservative) MP Moira Deeming is posited as the party's future leader. This raises the issue of Christian Right politicians and possible secrecy about their goals.

We need to show fellow voters that we can’t trust Christian Right political candidates to tell us what voting for them means for our rights & freedoms. Even if they tell us which beliefs & goals they have relinquished, can we trust them?

Albanese’s dream of Labor becoming the “natural party of Howard” takes another big step forward. Ffs.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

Outrageous

Which Karl will become Australia’s Joe Rogan? Karl Stefanovic or Karl Sandilands? Stefanovic has already started, but no doubt Sandilands will be going “independent” too - let off the leash outside ACMA rules to spread lies, hate and bigotry for profit the quickest. It will be ugly to watch!

Look - Canberra is more expensive in general than other jurisdictions, but choosing to have your 'cost of living crisis press conference' in one of the most expensive suburbs in Canberra,where the median house price is $2.1m and luxury cars are parked all around you is maybe not the greatest optics

Khamenei Senior is being replaced by Khamenei Junior, remarkable progress on the regime change front.
