Since Labor was elected in 2022, we've brought online new electricity that is the equivalent of more than 3 entire Snowy Hydro schemes

In 2025, let's keep going

Dutton wants to see this work undone + a return to the bad old days of Abbott/Morrison inaction

His plan is more delay, denial and dysfunction. And it’s Australians who will pay the price.

After a decade of climate chaos, @australianlabor.bsky.social has given businesses the policy certainty they need to create jobs and reduce emissions

Former Nine boss Hugh Marks appointed ABC's new managing director Former Nine Entertainment chief executive Hugh Marks has been appointed as the new managing director of the ABC.

If you live in Melbourne, remember this bloke permitted all the 3AW and 2GB attacks on our elected government during a health crisis.

He employed Ben Fordham in Sydney.

He let The Age and SMH become what they are.

He oversaw a culture of sexual harassment and bullying.

Our ABC, gorn.

The only thing that's keeping Dutton's campaign to be P.M. alive, is a mostly complicit media, who happily berate #Albo over trivialities.
They then, continually, report on selective focus groups, to show that these beat ups, have been successful.
It's become tedious #auspol

Hi ya 👍

What can be relied on:
#MSM vultures like David Speers, et al, who dared not mention Sen Paymen & Mins Council deal on #insiders, is that they don't give a stuff about the Nature Positive Bill or the Environment.
All they're keen on, is running down a good Govt, that's achieved much. #auspol

Sussan Ley: “Remember this & it’s a key principle & tenet of Liberal Party, if you don’t pay for something, you don’t value it”
Discuss & consider. #auspol

@abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social really must return to reporting factually and honestly. The Murdoch influence shows through all the time, LNP given top billing, even worse is their legitimising Trump and his band of deplorables. RFK a cooker, called a vax sceptic- what a disgrace. Tell the truth!!

I know SA politics flies under the radar so in case you’re interested, Labor appears to have won Liberal seat of Black in by election. Former Liberal leader David Speirs had to resign after drug charges. Second time Labor have won a formally safe Liberal seat at by election while in govt.

Queensland regional councils kept in the dark about nuclear power plant plans, inquiry hears Federal inquiry hears support for a nuclear industry in central Queensland even though local councillors say they were not consulted

Despite what Peter Dutton & David Littleproud claim, no consultation is occurring with Queensland councils over the nuclear energy facilities. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Such clarity.

YouTube video by Community Church of Boston Richard Wolff: The End of the US Empire and the Denial of the US, and the Rise of China and BRICS

Very, very interesting perspective on the fall of the American empire. It has relevance to the political environment in Australia. #auspol #Trump

Aunty now finds it hard to publish Govt Good news.

Headline @abcnews
"Wages growth slows faster than expected but still exceeds inflation"
Headline @GuardianAus
"Australians’ wages increase faster than inflation for fourth quarter running" #auspol

Australians’ wages increase faster than inflation for fourth quarter running ABS confirms wage price index rose an annual rate of 3.5% in September quarter, bringing some relief to households battling cost of living pressures

Australia's wage price index rose an annual rate of 3.5% in the Sept quarter. For the 4th quarter running it increased faster than inflation. If this isn't widely reported across the media then Peter Dutton will override it with disinformation. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Can confirm this is what Australia thinks of the orange man.

Just remember:
Labor Party Govt has not only to fight Tories, but pretty much the entirety of MSM, including #ABC, now mostly in lockstep with Coalition.
Also, much of supposedly lefty media, via Schwartz, now gone soft.
Give #Albo a break, peeps! #auspol

How much control does Australia have over temporary migration? Has Australia made commitments to other countries that make it difficult for Australia to control its migration numbers?

Solid reporting @abcnews
on migration issues that Dutton is attempting to mislead public about, even though it comes with a lecture for Govt on why they are not informing public.
They are trying, Aunty, runs with #Thug panic. #auspol

What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist? Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

"liberals struggle with the overwhelming volume of questions to be asked, answers to be offered... A fascist just has to be a storyteller. Because for fascists words do not attach to meanings, the stories don’t need... to accord with external reality."

"Canavan said his children are told about "the evils of masculinity & how terrible men are" in school & Australia had developed a "small-minded culture" which can "demonise masculinity".
Mythical schools that don't exist in a weird, impotent, mans mind. #auspol

"Trump says Harris cared more for trans rights than struggling Americans. Can his potent message work in Australia?" : Karvelas
No mention of Deeming v Pesutto, Patricia?
Dutton may be wanting to run from this, too, like abortion & Gina upgrades. 🏃‍♂️ #auspol

Elon Musk's X is losing users in the U.S., UK, and EU. X's own data proves it. The former Twitter continues its decline under Musk.

Twitter has lost nearly one-fifth of its daily active user base in the U.S. and a whopping one-third in the UK.  mashable.com/article/elon...

We have all been told that the failure of #TheVoice, is inevitable, because polling companies have told us so.
The Media companies that pay for the polling, apart from local OZ Guardian, have an agenda to kill it!
Just #VoteYes. #auspol

Imagine being 'really creepy & saying #No to everything', as the criteria as to how you would choose the Leader of your Party, as the next prospective P.M. of Australia.
The once 'Liberal' Party is #failing the country, day after day.
That seems to be the way they are operating, right now. #auspol
