Advance Australia purports to be 'grassroots' but the pro-fossil pro-Israel lobby group is actually funded by millionaires & billionaires such as Packer, Rinehart, Liebler. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social investigates.

Rendering an Australian citizen to the corrupt regime of Donald Trump The Albanese Government wants to render Australian citizen Dan Duggan to a corrupt authoritarian regime. Michael Pascoe wonders at what point we officially surrendered our national self-respect.

In December 2023, Isaac Herzog was pictured signing bombs to be dropped on the men, women & children including babies of Gaza.

In December 2025, the prime minister of Australia @albomp.bsky.social invited Isaac Herzog to visit with him in Australia.

There is no saving @australianlabor.bsky.social.

How in the jingle-busting fuck do we live in a world where tens of millions are getting ready to celebrate the birthday of a Palestinian baby they wouldn’t feed, clothe or save from being bombed to smithereens were he alive today?

Minns’ protest ban: breathtakingly racist, authoritarian, and must be resisted - Michael West Chris Minns’ protest ban is not just authoritarian: it is breathtakingly racist and must be resisted, writes Nick Riemer.

Julie Inman Grant: Who is the Australian woman taking on the social media behemoths? She’s drawn the ire of Elon Musk, been doxed, she and her family have received death threats: The perils of overseeing the world’s first social media ban

Having worked for Twitter "she knows what social media companies can do to protect their users". Yet she has convinced Govt that it is easier to ban children than to make social media platforms comply and alter their algorithms to protect them. #auspol

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar

I don’t think it actually has much to with social media. Just data mining the over 16 population.

Capitalism Is The Best It's Ever Been! Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Capitalism Is The Best It's Ever Been!

No no everything’s fine. It’s perfectly normal for people to have 80 hour work weeks while billionaires transform into trillionaires and tech plutocrats feed all our drinking water to AI servers as the planet dies.

With the Epstein emails at a new fever pitch, please read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s 2022 “They Knew” (as well as her prolific other writings) — it is a window into the past about things that seem only to be “discovered” now. Strongly recommend, I owe a lot to her thinking/writing.

Will Labor’s environment laws actually address Australia’s biodiversity crisis? Five reasons to be concerned Experts say the proposed legislation is full of problems, including excessive ministerial discretion and relaxing like-for-like offset rules

Will Labor’s environment laws actually address Australia’s biodiversity crisis?
No. They’ll make it worse. The biodiversity crisis is existential for humanity. We can’t afford this 💩

When normal people get a ceasefire agreement they think "Good, this means we can finally stop fighting and killing." Whenever Israelis get a ceasefire agreement they go, "This means we have to hurry up and kill as many people as possible before it takes effect."

As an Australian Federal Senator, Pauline Hanson's base salary is $233,660 per year, plus an annual electorate allowance of $39,700. And her big contribution to govt policy discussion: complaining about Woolworths' brown paper shopping bags. #auspol

"intractable systemic problems" is far too vague and polite.

Carbon offsets don't work because it's shit policy.
Put in place by governments who are in the pockets of big polluters and the fossil fuel lobby, and want to distract from taking real action on the #ClimateCrisis. #auspol

Could the National Press Club be less embarrassing and less complicit in the genocide of Palestine/the West's decline into overt fascism, pretty, pretty, pretty please? 🙏 Cancelling Chris Hedges' talk on the betrayal of Palestinian journalists only proves his point. Truly, truly pathetic

julietlamont Insta As WAHOO gets closer to Gaza, some 420 nautical miles, ~ Sydney to Brisbane, and enter the ‘critical zone' area where Israeli Occupation Forces usually violently intercept humanitarian flotillas, I’ve emailed Department Of Foreign Affairs 7 times to ask for help, but with no response. My family and friends have called them and they were told 'she should consult the Smart Traveller website. We are peaceful ordinary citizens doing what our government should be doing - delivering baby food and medicine to the remaining Palestinians left alive who have been intentionally starved and slaughtered by genocidal Zionists. In international waters. We deserve protection. The IOF has already bombed us twice on this mission destroying boats and they are now threatening an escalation in their attacks, a boat prison and lengthy prison terms. And I am told to look up the Smart Traveller website. WTAF. Thank you Albo. Very kind of you Penny. Your government is rotten to the core.

Donald Trump says he is deploying troops to Portland, Oregon Apparently misled by hyperbolic reporting from conservative outlets on a single small protest, president described peaceful city as ‘war ravaged’

There were just four protesters on the sidewalk near the Ice field office Trump claimed was “under siege”. One, wearing a chicken costume and draped in an American flag, held up a sign that read: “Portland Will Outlive Him.”

3 years ago today I caught up with David McBride in Parliament to discuss his case - he still thought the system might be fair. Today he is still in prison in Canberra and whistleblower laws are still broken. A stain on this country.

Australia will soon have its own ‘centre for disease control’. Let’s not repeat the chaos of the US Having this national agency will help protect us against bird flu, falling immunisation rates and health misinformation. It’s a landmark in public health.

Well timed, though good luck rather than good management. We need to end reliance on the US in all respects, including defence, digital sovereignty and central role of US dollar #auspol
