The Albanese govtβs first term was the second most secretive on record.
Rather than changing their ways, theyβre doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby groupππ½
Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.
That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

The myth of 'social cohesion' - do as they say, not as they do - The Shot
Thereβs an established principle in law: he who comes looking for equity must come with clean hands. The clean hands...
My latest article in The Shot
"The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club"

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, Iβm pretty sure they donβt want ppl to see it. Plz share.

The incredibly muted political response to sovereign citizens being responsible for the murder of four police officers in 12 months is remarkable. The police / spook / political / media extremist framework is clearly only designed to be deployed against Islamic extremism, any other form breaks it.

Why hasn't Albanese ditched Scott Morrison's jobs scheme?
Opinion | Labor was scathing of the Job Ready Graduates scheme when it was introduced under Scott Morrison. So why hasn't Anthony Albanese scrapped it?

Albanese and Wong are on the wrong side of history
Australia didnβt let distance stop it from acting against apartheid in South Africa. It shouldnβt let it be an excuse now. Palestine canβt wait, and it really time for Australia to act right now.
Imagine spending all this time to become the most powerful people in government, and then ending up being on the wrong side history. Thatβs what Albanese and Wong are facing at the moment. The Monday Essay from New Politics. #AUSPOL @dlew919.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...

Senate votes to establish inquiry after aged care minister rejects calls to bring forward additional 20,000 home care packages
It is completely unacceptable that the Albanese govt is refusing to release desperately needed Home Care packages with 87,000 people on the waitlist.
Thank you to the Coalition, Greens & other xbench colleagues for supporting this inquiry.
