Today’s privatised government services are tomorrow’s royal commissions.

“When essential services fail their citizens, governments should not entrust the clean-up to private consultancies…A system corrupted by the unaccountable motive of profit isn’t repaired within that same logic.”

Jillian Segal and husband funding far-right group "Advance" - The Klaxon Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal and her husband are among the biggest funders of far-right group "Advance”, which spreads hateful propaganda and racist tropes.

Yet we continue to pursue people on Centrelink payments www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

It’s still 1.2 million people choosing an overtly racist party as their first preference, an increase of over 300,000 ppl since last election. I’m not saying it’s the most important result but still worth talking about as we see support for far right parties grow around the world.

Not to mention the huge increase in One Nation primary votes

It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton.

Progressive voters are tricking themselves into thinking this election was a great result, but Australia’s centre of gravity keeps going right.

The real hate media

The latest attack on science by the thought police

“a logical outcome of the steady mainstreaming of far-right rhetoric in Australia, made palatable by sanitised political soundbites and monetised by media corporations, traditional and new, all too eager to bank the profits”

Liberal Party's "Advance" in Indigenous hate rant - The Klaxon Mega-millionaire-funded disinformation group “Advance” has declared the Indigenous “Welcome to Country” is part of a secretive plan by “elites” to “delegitimise Australia’s history”.

The welcome to country was booed at the Melbourne dawn service.

This group of bad actors, "Advance", has been aggressively sowing hate and division behind-the-scenes against the Indigenous ceremony.

Advance is quietly funded by the Liberal Party. (ICYMI:)

Well done Nine papers, looking forward to your outrage at what happened this morning at the dawn service.

Interesting how all the politicians who rushed to condemn the hecklers criticised them desecrating the solemnity of ANZAC day and not for their racism and disrespect of Aboriginal people.

Crikey is running for Parliament. No, actually. Here’s why We’re investigating all the loopholes and privileges afforded to sitting politicians and people running for office.

It's a lot of work, and not cheap either. So why bother? We're making a point.

Even if we reverted to 2015 tax rate, illicit cigs would still be cheaper. People who buy cheap illicit products won’t suddenly switch back to legal ones. Yes, taxation may have contributed to this problem but it is misleading to suggest that we can simply tax our way out of it.

A DOGE-like report called Indigenous health research 'wasteful'. Now the Coalition wants to cut it Coalition attacks on a $1 million grant to improve Indigenous breastfeeding rates are at the centre of a campaign by right-wing group ADVANCE shown to millions of Australian voters.

Built at a cost of more than $1 billion, an enormous new jail is empty more than two years later – with millions spent on leaky ceilings and malfunctioning security.

Hello? #FollowtheMoney

Dutton targeting public servants is a false economy & it’s Australians who will pay the price - from veterans to communities dealing with increasing natural disasters.
