AEC disclosures show more than $138 million in political funding in 2024–25 had no declared source under the current rules.

When dark money & big donors shape our politics, public trust suffers. Australians deserve govts that are not fundraising from industries that profit when policy is weakened.

At least 10 killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon, state media says A senior Hezbollah official is among those reported killed in air strikes on the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon.

Israel has a taste for blood and just can’t stop lobbing US weapons at people.

As if Grace Tame would give a crap if her Australian of the Year title were removed.

As if it would stop her speaking.

Tame has dealt with real life things. She won’t be cowed so easily.

New Documents Reveal Japan LNG Industry’s Influence on Australian Politics A new report from Influence Map shows employees from Japanese companies involved in major Australian gas projects have been regularly meeting with Australian ministers, directly shaping policy.

Japanese companies have been lobbying to lock in fossil gas production and its enabling infrastructure, even as they resell Australian cargos while they're still on the water for geopolitical advantage.

I pulled the camera back to look at how they've done it for @drilledmedia.bsky.social.

What a shocker of an idea. Eeech

😧

Senator Thorpe is right on the money. The attempted terrorist act in Perth has not been treated seriously and it’s pretty bloody obvious why that is. If it was a synagogue we’d be hearing about it daily. #RNBreakfast

Refusing the Israeli President entry would be much, much easier than electing a new public.

Epstein files suggest Mandelson wrote to paedophile on Rudd's mining super profits tax Newly released documents show British Labour peer Peter Mandelson kept sex trafficking paedophile Jeffrey Epstein informed about the campaign against Kevin Rudd's proposed mining tax.

Mining company shareholders need to think about this.

This is who you are in bed with.

I won't be there to protest, but I PROTEST about Herzog's visit.

He brings the stench of death with him from Israel. #auspol

Trump kills innocent Americans.
Trump is contemptuous of any law, anywhere.

And the biggest compo payout for Robodebt victims is ... Scott Morrison! - Michael West Compare Robodebt victims' compo to the quantum of Scott Morrison's publicly funded legal fees. It's shameful, reports Rex Patrick.

And the biggest compo payout for #Robodebt goes to … Scott Morrison! #FOI #auspol

Single frame. Washed out image from photo of the two gunmen 1 walking up stairs and 2 aiming gun. Words: “Two men. Not university students, lecturers, historians; not protesters, marching for peace and an end to the killing; not artists expressing solidarity over the killing of civilians, doctors, journalists, humanitarians… Two men. Full of hatred; radicalised; blind to humanity; with training, plans and a stash of legally obtained guns.

Two men.

Australia’s trust deficit is a failure of governance Public trust in Australian politics is wearing dangerously thin. Restoring it will require clear standards, real accountability and decisions that can be traced, justified and owned.

Public trust is democracy’s most fragile asset – and Australia is running dangerously low. Tom Sinkovits argues trust won’t return without clear standards, traceable decisions and real accountability.@sinkofixx #AusPol #Integrity #Democracy #Governance

This is ridiculous. The envoyship should know that such an appointment record should be kept, and how matters are proceeding. Isn't she a corporate lawyer or something? I can barely disguise my contempt.

AUKUS: From now on, Australia must keep telling the Yanks what the US will do, why they will be doing it, and what the US is not to do. $368 Billion says so.
Livid at the news about Australian pension funds investment in US.
This news gives me the jitters for Australia. #auspol

They are Australian and should be brought back to Australia. Thought that was the Convention. It was done previously with an earlier group. Australian governments have become misogynistic when it concerns Australian women. What happened?

Australia refuses to repatriate citizens from Syrian camps despite US warning leaving them there ‘compounds risk to all of us’ US offers to get Australians out of camps if they are issued with travel documents, but Labor has said ‘this is not something the government is considering’

Doesn't say much for Australia's security if we can't bring 40 kids and their mothers home.
Even less for our humanity.
Bring them home @albomp.bsky.social

The latest inflation figures offer no joy – except to the gas producers whose windfall profits remain largely untouched | Greg Jericho The boom in world gas prices due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to energy companies making out like bandits

www.theguardian.com/business/gro...
These inflation figures will give few people any joy – not the RBA, nor the govt, nor any of us looking at our bills. But they'll continue to give comfort to energy and gas producers who know their windfall profits will remain largely untouched by our tax system.

Ditch aukUS contract.
Ditch consultants and dodgy family connections.
TAX huge big businesses.

I demand Bluescope bugger off. Talk to the hand.

Psychiatric hospital to 'urban parkland': Sydney's public space dilemma The challenge of transforming a major piece of Sydney's public space from a former mental health hospital to an "iconic urban parkland" is a delicate dance for the state government.

any further changes must include justice for the thousands of disabled people who lived and died in these places, and who also fought for liberation

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

Labor pledged to save $6.4bn through cutting the government's use of consultants and external labour, and yet here they are forking out more. The government's focus must be on rebuilding the public service for core work functions.
