Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!
Join the Green Party today.

AUS Foreign Minister Penny Wong's fawning praise of Trump is vomitous. No mention by Wong of the billions of dollars of arms provided to Israel by the USA for its genocide in Gaza? Srsly?! This is abhorrent commentary from Wong. 😔 #auspol #USPolitics #NobelPeacePrize #GazaGenocide

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

David Pocock, the former Wallabies captain and an independent senator, was removed from the parliament's social sports club for questioning its sponsorship.
He says the relationship between politicians, the government, and the gambling industry is too 'cosy'.

When normal people get a ceasefire agreement they think "Good, this means we can finally stop fighting and killing." Whenever Israelis get a ceasefire agreement they go, "This means we have to hurry up and kill as many people as possible before it takes effect."

@australianlabor.bsky.social Govt has demonstrated appalling judgement in the choice of appointees to these positions…and a cowardice in correcting these poor decisions.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

Albanese appears to be sticking like glue to the Zionist Israeli & the MAGA Trump Governments, both heavily backed by Rupert Murdoch, who also allegedly appears to continue to impose his version of colonialism & the colonised on every Australian Government we've had since the 1952.
