Do you remember the deal @albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social did with the LNP remnants to establish a # NACC
…and how has that turned out?
Not hard to forecast the effect of a duopoly ‘deal’ on environmental protections (a political oxymoron)

I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit scared of any new ‘environment laws’ that Labor can get Matt Canavan and Andrew Hastie to vote for…I think they will be better described as ‘ how to build more mines faster laws’ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

This guy would rather co-govern with the LNP, an otherwise irrelevant soon to be minor party, than negotiate with the Greens.

That says so much.

How's that fire-ant program, big fella?

I never normally get any kind of review or feedback but this tour is something people can approach more easily. Here is a lovely, thoughtful piece on our Sydney show last Friday. (though I am not into any kind of karate movement as perceived here) cityhub.com.au/dave-graney-...

David Pocock asks Don Farrell some serious questions about why the govt has not implemented an important recommendation from the #RobodebtRC.
Farrell caught playing on his phone, not even paying attention.🙄 Pocock hasn’t the patience to try again & moves on. #Estimates

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

There are 2 types of @davegraney.bsky.social @claremoore.bsky.social shows: those where you lose yourself in the music & those where you lose yourself in the words. Tonight was the 2nd sort. It rekindled some of the creative projects I've locked away in a drawer over the last 25 years....
