petro is so beast

Jacinta loves a pair of jackboots. Been obvious for a while now

go ahead, write another take about what australia can learn from mamdani. claim all the ALP needs to do is magically get more bold. call on the left to do better video content. get paranoid that the rise of mamdani could also upend the establishment here. conflate left populism with right populism

@albomp.bsky.social still charging ahead with his national ID project in the name of 'child safety'. This country continues to be an experiment in punishment & control tactics for world powers

JAYES: Who's saying that? MINISTER PLIBERSEK: To support them while they're on the run from the law. Yes, absolutely, there are senators- JAYES: There are senators who want the taxpayer to pay for fugitives on the run? MINISTER PLIBERSEK: To subsidise, yes, yes. This is the madness- JAYES: Who are they? MINISTER PLIBERSEK: -and the debate that we're facing at the moment, and people- JAYES: Who are these people? MINISTER PLIBERSEK: Well, you know, people can gave a look at that. Well, Senator Thorpe is one example and we've got, I mean, it's certainly a debate worth watching. We've got people in the community who are saying that people who are on the run for crimes like rape and murder and child abuse should continue to receive those payments to maintain them while they're on the run. It's madness.

Egregious defamation of social services/disability/community legal sectors, advocates & crossbench on Sky News by Social Sevices Minister @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social, accusing us ALL of supporting rape, murder & child abuse.

Labor's amendments supported by:

- Police Federation of Aus
- Coalition

he would have kept his mouth shut and called it 'solidarity'

She's just mad it took 'em 8 years to finally read her great column

Hearing @australia.theguardian.com won't publish a story about this because they don't support their welfare rights reporter or think it's an important area to report on 👍

@albomp.bsky.social is such a cuck for empire

In an abhorrent turn of events, Queensland's Health Minister - Tim Nicholls - has reinstated a ban on gender-affirming care for young trans folk, just hours after the Supreme Court ruled the LNP’s first ban unlawful.

“Nearly four out of five of Australia’s critical mineral projects sit on Indigenous lands”.

For @copower.bsky.social, Noa Wynn examines the Yindjibarndi claim for damages to land and how green colonialism is repeating old injustices.

Mark Butler has been abandoning disabled folk since this government came to power. This is just further proof

Albanese at the White House: Trump endorses Aukus, signs $8.5bn rare earths deal and calls PM ‘great leader’ President says US has no better friend than Australia but tells ambassador Kevin Rudd “I don’t like you’

Nuts to see the widespread media backpatting of Albanese after he ensures Aus critical minerals will be

- Shipped to a country that'll use them for weapons and AI slop data centres instead of for the energy transition

- Extracted in an env toxic way thanks to the deregulation promised in the deal

Should we stop assuming this is actually about 'the kids' & not just further government surveillance and control for all.

Scoop: The federal government was warned last month that 1 in 3 parents plan to help their kids get around the social media ban.

The risk of "non-compliance snowballing and becoming normalised" could "undermine" the ban, the report says, based on polling done in Feb/March

It's why all the ALP podcaster wannabe influencers are so happy with this govt. They too would rather spend time bashing the Greens than actually advocating for progressive policies. Politics for them is just supporting a footy team rather than caring about things that affects people's lives

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens.

He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions.

Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

They keep fucking doing this

And when Pauline says literal nazi stuff "well it's her right to say it" 🤬

politicians tone policing Lidia Thorpe rather than showing any concern about genocide sums up our hellhole nation.

Labor's employment minister rep admits that payment suspensions "cause harm", but they're "an important part" of the (unlawful) mutual obligations system, because

"At the end of the day we want ppl to get off payments and find a job"

gross 'best form of welfare is a job' stuff from the ALP here
