If there was a theological category of best, Walter Bruggemann clearly ticked the box. Vale to one of the most influential authors in my life.

Even though Dutton is gone, Gina doesn't care. Because she still owns the Labor Party mining policy position.

This is in part consolation for the potential lack of a minority government.

Good riddance to Dutton, and Mike Pezzullo

James McGrath continues to spread lies and distorted reality, clearly demonstrating his misogynistic, authoritarian, and fascist attitude on #auspol #abctv

What the hell is "tactical reconciliation"? Dutton blows his dog whistle again. #leadersdebate

@australia.theguardian.com about "Anywhere but Canberra"? As Holli said, in the recent article on her, she'd like to see rent caps. Perhaps she'd like to know the ONLY place in Australia where housing isn't completely unaffordable, due to its rent caps, is Canberra. No thanks to ALP or Liberals.

As usual, @thejuicemedia.bsky.social telling us how it really is.
This really is the election where we need to write a '1' in the box beside an independent or minor party candidate. Otherwise we'll have to live with the dump of number 2's.

Cutting public service jobs undermines capability Peter Dutton says he will cut the Australian Public Service by the same amount it has grown under the Albanese government – 41,000 employees.

It's a good idea to not gut the public service.

History has shown us that when you cut public service jobs, you don’t save the nation a single cent. It costs the country more because work is then carried out by expensive contractors and consultants.

@futurework.org.au #auspol

Indeed, the core problem isn't supply, it's ownership, specifically the lack of public housing caused by the Coalition and ALP obsession with a neo-liberal economic ideology that undermined the common good (the national interest of citizens, and not the interests of those who donate to politicians).

I am not hearing this from Albanese or Dutton

These two mealy mouthed weaklings will not stand up for Australia’s best interest

Both knew the tariffs were coming and they both still support giving Billions to the USA for fantasy submarines & to build USA capability & maintaining US bases

Ditch AUKUS, unwind the copyright changes from the US/AU free trade agreement, make US companies pay tax on income earned in Australia... and sign up with the European Research agreement.

Each election, both major parties mislead Australians with faux postal vote registration forms that look like official, non-partisan websites and letters but are actually for data harvesting.

The AEC hates it. Voters hate it. They should stop this shit www.crikey.com.au/20...

This practice also normalises data theft, particularly from vulnerable populations. It's high time it was outlawed altogether, but until that happens it would be the bare minimum of decency for parties to stop doing it.

Australia gave up a lot for a free trade agreement with the USA - which Trump has torn up. Time for us to claw back what we gave up - including +20 years to copyright terms that benefit American media giants.

100 per cent. If we’re going to cop tariffs then let’s finally sort out copyright, whack social media companies, introduce streaming quotas etc.

Sadly none of this will happen because the entire political and media class are giant baby cowards.

Britain launches AUKUS parliamentary inquiry amid 'geopolitical shifts' The United Kingdom launches a parliamentary inquiry into the AUKUS partnership, with its scope to include the "impact of geopolitical shifts" on the deal since it was signed.

If this UK parliament inquiry really lifts the lid on #AUKUS it won't be a pretty sight. UK sub programs are a shambles. SSN-AUKUS won't be developed in time. We need our own inquiry to hold Defence to account for its biggest cockup ever. #auspol

So should Australia

Yep the federal government receives more money from beer than from fossil fuel companies, and the PRRT is forecast to decline! Wish this was a joke but it’s not April Fools Day. We have lost billions of sovereign wealth. In 2025 we must increase the PRRT - Vote 1 Independent. #claire4casey

Breaking: Peter Dutton confirms Australia DOESN’T have a gas shortage and DOESN’t need to build new gas wells to deliver more gas to Australian households and industry. Its always been true but this is the first time a major party has admitted the obvious. Next step, we need to tax the gas industry!

Lol this is such a ridiculous beat-up. Anyone standing is “holding on” anyway and there’s no magic force that’ll suck you out of a train. It’s not a pressurised aircraft.

Safety prodedure if a train has an open door: Don’t jump out the door.

It’s loud in a tunnel, but don’t be such sooks.

Peter Dutton spoke the truth!
#Auspol

He is quoted as saying the Federal Dept of Ed has "thousands of thousands of people in Canberra". He either doesn't read the annual reports or is lying. The number is 1677 (only 1299 in the ACT). They cover early childhood, schools, and tertiary education.

His history has been full of the same kind of bad-faith and dishonest acts.

Calling bullshit. Tim Wilson (left) posing with the common man and (right) with his campaign manager (the same person). #auspol

Based on history, Dutton and his mob will scream hysterically about the weakness of Albo, and he will cave. But, if it was Dutton PM, he'd send the ADF in to help the US because that's what sycophants do when they hang around with bullies.

Dear @albomp.bsky.social,
If Trump decides to invade Panama, Greenland or Canada, will the Albo Govt:
• shut down US access to our intel
• expel US troops from Australia
• withdraw from ANZUS & AUKUS
OR
• say little, do nothing
OR
• support the US invasion? 🤔 #USPolitics #auspol #AusVotes25
