I'm 76, apart from last election (Greens) I have been a Labour/Labor stalwart for all my life. I don't think I could ever support them again 😕 Albo is such a failure and massive disappointment

“I witnessed things that were wrong. I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here.” – Helen Mirren,
describing her visit to Israel in 1967

Yeah Nah
The Prime Minister works for the gambling lobby.
Which is why he won't do anything about the enormous problem with gambling we have in Australia.
Albanese profits from it.

Independent Senator David Pocock and Labor's Penny Wong clashed in Senate estimates yesterday over whether the Parliamentary Sports Club could be considered a lobby group, as reported in Crikey last week. The club is registered as such, and lists Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its clients.

Hind Khoudary reports that there are still artillery bombardments, air strikes and quadcopter attacks across Gaza.

Meanwhile in the UK our govt wants to restrict our right to protest against Israels genocide & our govts complicity in it.

My question is who did you vote for? This is the second round with this crisis with the soybean market under this president during 2017-2020.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 1d

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

The #UnitedStates sounds and looks like a terrible place.
A country where $$ is the religion and a gun lobby group controls the politicians.
A place where health services are for the wealthy and people are brainwashed from birth about their "freedom"
Yuk 🤮

Anyone fighting in an army credibly accused of genocide, should be investigated for their involvement in that genocide.

All IDF wanting to return to/ visit Australia should be considered potential war criminals until proven otherwise.

Senator David Shoebridge @davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 1d

I asked if the Government would take steps to stop Australians fighting in the IDF while it is perpetrating a genocide

The Minister says he wishes for peace. What??

Hey @abcnewsbot.bsky.social Why do you always make sure you present the views and careful scripts of The Whitehouse when delivering the news? Eg: tonight, "The administration's crackdown on illegal immigration" truth is, most are being rounded up without any documentation and shipped overseas

68 shipments from Australia to Israel so that F-35's can keep bombing people in homes, rubble and tents. And commit genocide.

Your argument is that we haven't exported arms for years, and, don't say the word genocide.

That's it @albomp.bsky.social is it? #auspol

Yep, Peter V’Landys has much to answer for, but the buck stops with the PM.

Albanese's refusal to even consider Peta Murphy's evidence-based review is shameful.

His government pretends to work for citizens, but their priority is powerful industry vested interests. #4Corners #LosingStreak #auspol
