Most Australians don’t trust Trump/USA. Most Australians DO NOT want AUKUS.

But Labor, Albanese and co are not listening.

Stand up and MAKE them listen.

New fracking proposal has environmentalists concerned As WA's EPA assesses a proposal to drill and frack in the Kimberley's Canning Basin, groups call for WA Labor to enforce a ban across the state.

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Congratulations to our ABC for this article on fracking that doesn’t even mention:
climate change,
fossil methane gas,
that methane is more than 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in heating the planet,
toxic nature of forever chemicals used in fracking…
Revise?

β€œExperts say the proposed legislation is full of problems, including excessive ministerial discretion and relaxing like-for-like offset rules.”

Another Labor special then. Try to legislate a do-nothing policy, pat yourself on the back for being so sensible.

The endless benefits of a secretive LNP lite Labor government (that really really knows what's good for us) making us a vassal state of a failed state. We need to get this corrupt two party system out of our politics and our lives. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Western Australian government is allowing 2% of Western Australia to be fracked… as if that’s not much.

But

2% of Western Australia’s area is approximately 50,598 square kilometres.

That’s about the same size as Costa Rica or Slovakia.

Imagine ALL of Slovakia covered in toxic gas wells.

Australia’s electric vehicle revolution stalls as sales plummet Peak petrol car sales appears to have arrived, but the slow rate of change to EVs is putting the nation’s climate targets at risk.

A massive policy failure and another environmental disaster. To save #Labor rusted-ons the trouble, repeat after me "the other lot are even worse" #auspol

I will never understand why the Australian media, especially the ABC, keep calling the new mayor of New York a radical leftist whilst referring to the far right weirdos in both America and Australia as merely β€œconservatives’.

Can journalists stop labelling politicians like Hastie, Joyce, Canavan, and Antic as "conservative".

They are the opposite:
radical right misogynist ideologues following American christo-fascist campaigning to strip women [and anyone else who isn't a straight white man] of their rights. #auspol

Disappointed by the govt’s rushed push to pass a 1,500-page environment bill without proper scrutiny or consultation. This is a key chance to protect nature & embed climate accountabilityβ€”but the bill falls short.

Back before Albo and his shitshow got in, a post like this would have attracted truck loads of Labor rusted ons with a sandwich of abuse (for the writer) and excuses (for the ALP). They're pretty quite now as the reality of their LNP Lite corporate sponsor owned party is impossible to ignore.

I sincerely hope that Labor is crucified at the next election for abandoning people and the environment in favour of mining and fossil fuel interests. Perhaps they should form a coalition with the LNP given their many shared values?

It wasn’t the laws that were too weak to stop those projects, it was the ministers The Prime Minister is betting that by 2028 people will forget the North West Shelf and EPBC backflips, but it would be a brave backbencher willing to make that same bet.

Here's some food for thought, especially for ALP backbenchers, thanks @richarddenniss.bsky.social

It is hard to believe that this current LNP lite government shares the same heritage as the courageous, progressive and innovative Whitlam government. Albanese should be utterly ashamed of himself.

What would Whitlam think of the Albanese Government? Gough Whitlam’s head mandarin and Pearls & IrritationsΒ founder & editor-in-chief John Menadue shares what he sees as the lessons of the Whitlam years, one of which is that the powerful can never be trusted.

Power does reveal what people are really like: what their base and true instincts are. That’s something I’ve learned watching people grow with the job, and certainly Gough Whitlam did. Power revealed the things he cared for. JM #auspol #Whillam

Australia hasn’t signed UN treaty on prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (despite promise), they scuttled a review on Aukus (aligning with the LNP) and they were decimated for their lack of transparency earlier this week.

I think we need to have a chat about Albanese and the threat he poses to us all.
