Australia improves ranking on the global corruption index Australia has been ranked 10th in Transparency International's annual Corruption Index. It's the first time since 2016 that Australia has been placed in the top 10.

Iโ€™m often critical of our government, but they seem to have taken on the basic management of the country competently. They had a lot of ground to make up, and have done it quietly and sensibly.

Ditch AUKUS, improve on climate, they might win some Labor voters back.

Isnโ€™t it interesting how the word โ€œactivistโ€ is used as a put down against those who support marginalised people, but when billionaires like Gina Rinehart or Elon Musk are activists for more money and power, their behaviour is never talked about pejoratively as โ€œactivismโ€.

They probably own the infrastructure.
Sabotage?
We could partner with Japan, and South Korea to resist the Orange Arsehole.

Dear Australia, you may get a pass from Trump, for now because you by his planes. Know that they will cost you more in the future given his tariffs. Also, if you want to stand with Trump you're no friend of mine. From a Canadian.

Trump tariffs: 25 per cent steel, aluminium tariffs announced; Anthony Albanese to call US President

The best outcome would be:
Australia kicking the Americans out of Pine Gap, Darwin, NW WA, and
DROPPING nuclear โ˜ข๏ธ AUKUS.

Spend the savings on building a better Australia.

Spies in the Outback.

Guess who they are.

The same ones imposing tariffs on our goods.

Itโ€™s time to kick them out of Australia, and to drop AUKUS.

These attacks seem all to convenient. Remember when in 23 I think it was. The AJA released an open letter saying, in so many words.
"Whoever gets in their way. Expect consequences".
Now we have these attacks. And not one investigation was held into those threats.

Every morning we wake up to more horror โ€“ but worse than that, more people who are seemingly indifferent to it. Compassion burnout is real, but it is also what power wants. Empathy keeps us human and yes, it is heavy, but it's a burden worth holding โ™ฅ๏ธ

When public figures sell us a story about who they are, we donโ€™t have to believe them.

Dutton is a multimillionaire Queensland property developer, thatโ€™s who he is in every word and action.

We donโ€™t have to believe his story, tough guy, copper, heโ€™s a soft bellied Queensland property developer.

Hi @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social ,I am being told on โ€œthe other siteโ€ that "In 2023โ€“24 intermittent renewable output increased by its lowest amount since 2017โ€“18."
Is this true, and if so, is it due to the world economic downturn, or are there other factors at play? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Everyone online: This is a Nazi salute.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, denies itโ€™s a duck, demands you prove it's a duck, accuses you of being a duck, says your dog is a duck, that your friend's cat is a duck & that all 3 'ducks' woke ducks paid by Soros, it's Elon's duck ๐Ÿฆ†

It's time that that National Anti-Corruption Commission was renamed to better reflect its operations to date.

The #NACC should be called the NECC:
the National Enabling Corruption Commission.

Great work from Anthony Klan. #auspol
