When asked if the govt’s new Apprenticeship program was “worthwhile”, Jacinta Price said
“Throwing more taxpayer money to boost trades isn’t the answer”

Doesn’t want taxpayers funding trades, but happy to slug them for hubby to attend CPAC events? Really disgraceful. #auspol

Let me briefly distract you from rising fuel prices.

Electricity prices will rise too with the gas cartel now super-profiting from selling OUR gas in a disrupted Intl market. @albomp.bsky.social’s dud gas policy changes announced in December mean the cartel laughs as we suffer. #auspol

I hear @abcnews platformed "ol' acid drop" Peter Hartcher on #insiders again today.

Keating has always had Hartcher's measure: "How maladroit do you have to be before the management decides your copy has no value—before management is obliged to drop you?" #auspol

PM’s pragmatism on Trump’s Iran fury risks Australia following US into Operation Epic Fail | Zoe Daniels Anthony Albanese’s support for actions that do not adhere to international law stands in stark contrast to the principles demonstrated by Labor two decades ago

"I don’t need international law," the apex opportunist Donald Trump declared but the words of Simon Crean from 20 years ago still echo across Australia. #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Light and the Hill - Michael West The Australian Labor Party has drifted from its historic purpose. What does Labor's retreat from reform mean for Australia?

Penny Wong says the reason the war on Iran is worth supporting is it will
“keep Australians safe”

Supporting an illegal war for regime change with no evidence of a threat will not keep us safe. It will create a new wave of terrorist groups & who hate us like after Iraq. #auspol

ATTENTION: @senatorwong.bsky.social

The major driver of acts of terrorism committed across the world is western violence towards Muslim countries and Muslim people.

Participating in genocides and illegal wars against majority Muslim populations will not "keep Australians safe." #auspol

Countless thousands of women (and kids) in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran are not happy, @albomp.bsky.social.

They're dead, murdered by Israel and the USA—or missing arms/legs—and you helped make sure they ended up dead or maimed. So—up yours. 🖕🏻 #auspol #MVAW #MVAC #IWD2026

Supermarkets hit by falling demand for nitrite-cured bacon due to cancer fears Sales of products made the traditional way dropped 7% in three months to 25 January while nitrite-free sales rose 20% UK supermarkets have been hit by a “bacon backlash” as consumers fear that chemicals used to preserve it increase the risk of cancer. Campaigners against the use of nitrites in meat production claimed the fall in sales showed that a “consumer revolt” against the traditional, nitrite-cured form of bacon was gathering pace.

You’d be a simple, reckless and dangerous soul to go to war on an imagined possibility but that's what Trump has done.
And Australia is supporting him.

Paul Keating savages Nine on anniversary of ‘irresponsible prediction’ Australia faced looming China war The ‘Red Alert’ series warned in 2023 that Australia needed to be ‘ready to fight in just three years’ – and Keating has again taken his fight to the newspaper group

"The former prime minister took the opportunity of the third anniversary of Nine newspapers’ Red Alert series to repeat his disdain for the reporting and its primary author, international editor Peter Hartcher." #auspol

Two of Czar Segal's staff worked for Craven at ACU when Craven was VC.

Defence refusing to say if WA base helped killer US sub Defence is refusing to say whether a naval communications facility in the remote northwest helped support a US submarine carrying ADF personnel launch a deadly strike against an Iranian warship.

Labor now refusing to say whether Harold E Holt naval communication station in WA helped support US killer submarine - they keep running and hiding from the reality of AUKUS

As violence spreads across the Middle East now more then ever we need our Government to be a force for peace. That starts with withdrawing support for US-backed forever wars.

The Liberal review explains the defeat – but not the path back The leaked review of the Liberal Party’s 2025 election defeat details campaign failures and organisational problems. What it avoids is the harder question: what policies or direction might rebuild support.

The leaked Liberal Party review dissects the failures of the 2025 campaign – leadership, organisation and messaging. But it offers little about the policies or direction needed to win voters back, David Solomon writes.
