How the ALP outsourced the soul of higher education For most of its history, the Australian Labor Party spoke of education as a public good, the light on the hill, a vision of collective progress through strong institutions, universal access, and the elevation of ordinary citizens.

If Labor wishes to reclaim its moral authority, it must break with the consultant paradigm: rebuild public governance, fund socially vital disciplines and restore universities as places of learning, not revenue streams. #auspol #universitiesAU

Never forget.

The Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social has demonstrated to be a man of the party…not a man of the people.
Tethered by this ‘loyalty’ it is doubtful he will ever deliver a fraction of the vision and transformational policies that , for all his faults, Gough Whitlam did.
We have a seat warmer!

72% of Labor voters but @albomp.bsky.social says so what

And just for a moment I thought that was about Australia

“Creation of a Palestinian state should be recognized by the US and made Point 1 of Trump’s 20 point plan. But one must scroll down to point 19 before gleaning even a hint of a Palestinian state far in the future.”

I'm sorry but it's just plain hilarious that we're still expected to hate Hamas after spending two years being shown exactly what it is that Hamas has been fighting.

One of the Austs on the flotilla who was taken illegally & held by the Israel Govt - says the Aust Govt did not really support them. They were among the last to be released - & their release & deportation to Jordan was facilitated by other Govts.

What a betrayal 😞😡 #auspol

Some dickhead

You should be able to claim depreciation on the value of Prime Ministers in your tax return, because this one turned out to be pretty much worthless

Israel deports Australian Gaza flotilla activists to Jordan The group of seven held since Friday released after Australian government representations

I'm not sure about Govment representations, but thank dog they are out

I don't have a cat but I'm sending a hug

But they have won WW1 and WW11 and and.....

Yes, thank you Andrew Wilkie and associates

Marles belongs in the Liberal Party

Australian citizens have the right to return to Australia. Calling them 'Isis brides' does not change the law. They are Australian.

Truly shocking!
Seems Defence Department belongs to #Israel fascists.

Of course they are not

No place for protest on Oct 7 anniversary: deputy PM Senior government figures have told pro-Palestine protesters the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel is not...

Well we can protest on here

No action on the genocide
No action on illegal at sea kidnapping and imprisonment

No human rights adhered to
Do NOT treat Oct 7 as special when you ignore the genocide and 1,000s of illegally imprisoned Palestinians

Every word @albomp.bsky.social is saying about Oct 7 could be said about the Zionist state of Israel. The attack was terrible, but blame Zionism. @sussanley.bsky.social repeats the Israeli propaganda re rape. The occupation of Palestine is an attack on the world, which is why so many are protesting

Yes, where are they, I'm horrified

How totally unsatisfactory and disappointing that our government is so wishy-washy on gross flaunting of international laws by
🇮🇱
All of this is ILLEGAL:
Attack drones
Incendiaries
Piracy
Kidnap
Abduction
Imprisonment
Torture
Theft
Abuse
Detention
Humiliation…

And our government goes missing?

PM says October 7 ‘not a day for demonstrations’ ahead of anniversary rallies State and federal leaders condemned plans in Melbourne and Sydney to mark October 7 with pro-Palestinian protests.

BREAKING: 'Today is not a day for sanctioning a genocidal rogue state' says PM:

'Nor is yesterday or tomorrow. In fact, we are going to do fuck all about Israel's war crimes and crimes against humanity, unless our 'partners' in the US say it's OK,' #auspol

Our govt is backwards we are Private - the govt should know nothing about us. They are Punlic servants. We should know everything about them.

Actually Albo .. didn't Australia abstain from a ceasefire vote in Oct 2023, saying "We can affirm Israel's right to defend itself"?

Just saying bc your second last par says "consistently part of intl pressure for a ceasefire in Gaza"

What are international protests revealing about Palestine, Israel and public opinion? When I first saw the figures on international protests from October 2023 to September 2025, I was fascinated. I hadn’t realised which countries had been most active and the results surprised me.

When people from Yemen to Spain, from Morocco to Australia unite in their demand for justice, it shows something really powerful – governments may be more divided on this issue than the very citizens who fund and sustain them. That really matters. #auspol #activism #Palestineprotests

I find Helen Garner's involvement in this distasteful

I feel utterly betrayed by our government! The environment, Gaza, aged care....

“We urge politicians not to weaponise the memory of the victims of October 7 to justify Israel’s ongoing genocide or to silence voices in support of Palestinian human rights.
As Jewish people, we mourn all lives lost...and refuse to allow our grief to be weaponised” @sarahschwartz.bsky.social

@sallymcmanus.bsky.social why so quiet on Israeli war crimes
