I think that if we are asking for civility in politics, we need to model it in how we engage with each other online. If you disagree with me, I welcome that and am happy to listen to you. But I will not speak unkindly to you. You are not my enemy. #playtheball #auspol

Seeing Ali France MP acknowledged as the 1st disabled person to serve in the House of Reps and not to take away from an incredible person who should be proud but want to just say this again: #auspol

Ranger Rosella @rangerrosella.bsky.social · May 8

Ali France may be a person with a declared/visible disability in the HoR, but she isn't the first. Plenty of people have disabilities without them being known. Linda Burney had to blow into a kazoo to speak well. Multiple MPs have had Cancer while sitting. Disability is not always visible #auspol

Women's Agenda @womensagenda.bsky.social · May 8

Ali France becomes the first person with a disability elected to the House of Representatives in Australia. So what happens now?

Am I the only one that hears Eldritch Colby and thinks some ancient horror is asking us what we're going do about Taiwan? #auspol #uspol

I don't get why we need a special definition of racism when it comes to Jewish people. No other religion gets singled out. We don't have a separate law or regulation covering Catholicism, there's no special envoy dictating whether we can say stuff about the pope.

Curious to see the way that Australian media treated Monique Ryan when her husband caught was caught pulling down a sign versus Jill Segal when her husband’s family trust donated $50k to Advance.

Nah we are living in the horror times, not being able to get the little treat you want is pushing it too far. Not being able to be hyperbolic would be even worse.

I keep hearing Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme called "socialised medicine" like that is a bad thing. Health is a social good. #auspol

Why when Jesus talks about feeding the poor, it's christianity.
But when a politician talks about feeding the poor, it's socialism?

"If the Australian government wants to fill this tax blackhole without hurting low-income households, it could broaden the GST so that it applies to private school fees and private health insurance," said @richarddenniss.bsky.social, speaking to 9 News.

C’mon @albomp.bsky.social, it’s been 2 weeks+

PM had much to say 18 months ago calling Ita Buttrose a “champion”. Labor comms minister said she was “strong defence of ABC’s independence” both backed Anderson despite staff vote of no confidence.

Now Segal wants to formalise ABC & SBS interference

Any action taken by the government to combat antisemitism should equally be taken to combat anti-First Nations sentiment. Cripple the schools and universities that don't adequately support First Nations kids. Educate Australians with Truth Telling. Prosecute racist cops who abuse power etc #auspol

Ranger Rosella @rangerrosella.bsky.social · Jul 12

PK rightly grilled Pat Conroy about whether it was racist or not to criticise Israel and Conroy couldn't say "as he isn't a lawyer". Well lock me up because I don't think the state of Israel should exist. Give the Palestinians back their homes. Drag Netanyahu and his government to the Hague #auspol

Paul Sakkal from SMH/The Age said this week that conservative media has been obsessed with Albo bring unable to secure a meeting with Trump. Guess the ABC is officially conservative as it is brought up daily on Politics Now. #auspol

I saw this on Kitchen Cabinet and it is a banger story. I hope she metaphorically does the same to Taylor

Just seems like a good time to revisit the idea of an Australian Bill of Rights 🤷🏻‍♀️ feels like a lot of civil liberties are being encroached on in the name of the "Israel Lobby". #auspol

Tell that to the women murdered by men they know #auspol "leading threat to life" rubbish.

Nick Feik @nickfeik.bsky.social · Jul 10

Among some rather alarming sentences in the special envoy’s plan to combat antisemitism is this on the first page:
“In February 2025, ASIO Director General Mike Burgess declared antisemitism Australia’s leading threat to life.”

To LIFE!?!

ABC iView has “Whitlam - the Power and the Passion”. Two episodes, aprx 1 hour each. Highly recommended. Narrated by Judy Davis, comments by Hayden, Hawke, Menadue, Negus etc, great footage of old Oz. It also defines the deadening torpor & stodge from 23 years of Liberal Country Party govts.

It's become crystal clear that the problem at ANU isn't the staff, the students, or the departments — it's the university's leadership. They're slashing costs wherever they can, and it's quality of education that's paying the price.
