"the Australian govt has at all times known that the current Nauruan president and key members of his government are seriously corrupt, and they still signed a $2.5 billion deal with him."

'Turning a blind eye' is polite. On the face of it, ministers knowingly engaged with a corrupt regime. #auspol

The Greens have secured an inquiry to find out why job & program cuts are being rolled out across the CSIRO! It will consider the impacts of the funding cuts, the importance of public funding for science & CSIRO’s future funding & resourcing needs.

Scientists deserve better & they deserve answers, as do all Australians. It's critical the Senate examines how the CSIRO ended up here, who knew about the dire state of the agency & for how long & why senior execs took bonuses while funding cliffs were obviously approaching.

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.

Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

In #qt yesterday, as @albomp.bsky.social obfuscated & deflected multiple requests for a free/conscience vote on a gambling advertising ban, the disgust & despair on the faces of independents sitting on the cross benches was palpable.

Regional communities all across Australia deserve representatives who don’t play political games with the climate – the basis of our economy, water and food security.

If only they’d stop voting for them 🤷‍♀️

A lot of people who live in the country believe in climate action. Unlike the National Party, their livelihood is tied to the land, which everyone can see is changing rapidly

Gas development was never about domestic supply needs.

And every single day that goes by LibLab show how weak and corrupted our political architecture has been.

The weakness of negotiation on resource development by Australia over the decades is tragic.

I remember that hopes were high in 2022 that the new Labor Government would end the decade-long decline. We are now in the second #Albanese term, and things are worse than ever.

This is the same Government that changed environment laws to protect the toxic salmon industry, and continues to approve fossil fuels for decades to come.
