Not a single public hearing, not a single major prosecution. Major whistleblowers hearing nothing in response to their disclosures … And still nothing from the govt about the flop it introduced.

How about that NACC?
Third year of operations, still covering up its failure on Robodebt.
Hasn’t landed a single serious finding yet.

The LNP convincingly won the farmers and miners vote. Unfortunately, for them Australia is an urban multicultural nation. Wonder when, or if, they'll ever work that out?

Oh ABC TV there was NO caravan attack.
It was abandoned, thwarted and 3 arrests so far made.
Buying the Opposition’s opportunistic excessive hype is neither accurate or impartial.

Jillian Segal, the AUS Govt's Special Envoy on Anti-Semitism, said she thought Trump's idea of removing Palestinians from Gaza has merit. Is she supporting land theft & ethnic cleansing?! Imagine the anti-Islamophobia Envoy had said removing Jews was a good idea. #auspol #USPolitics #FreePalestine

Oh joy, watching the ABC's flagship current affairs show where Sarah Ferguson ask s"Is there any proportion of the Palestinian people in Gaza who would welcome the chance to be relocated?"

How about no, because there is no such thing an ok proportion of ethnic cleansing? #730

I can’t believe we actually pay for our ABC to be legitimising ethnic cleansing.

Then after again watching Anderson in the big chair today in court nothing surprises me.

Adelaide: this is for YOU!
There's a "Teal" (sorry, Independent!) running in my seat of Sturt (SA) this year!

As the Trump/Rinehart drumbeat grows ever closer, Dr Verity Cooper is running against that tide, for the environment & against politics-as-usual.

I'm going to her February 8 launch. Are you?

Dutton has employed same PR and Comms Corp as Boris. Same strategies. Time to stop being distracted. Topham Guerin is on board with LNP. History repeating itself. Study their Tory campaigns and get ahead of it! #auspol

The quickest path to high office in Australia is massive, catastrophic failure
So get this, former acting C'wlth Ombo Richard Glenn who was in the chair during the first botched Robodebt investigation and who Royal Commission found should have been alert to the "substantial" doubt about lawfulness of income averaging has been appointed as... CEO of the High Court of Australia.

This is the most bizarre hill to die on, and with approx 5-6 months to go until an election, it's an even more bizarre hill to risk votes over

If a Government is trying to rush a bill through Parliament, then odds are something fishy is going on.

@amyremeikis.bsky.social explains just how the donation reform changes could reinforce the two-party system, and shut out independents and new parties. #auspol

This Parliament has not passed bills addressing the homelessness and rental crises, and other cost of living issues.

But the major parties colluded this week on legislation increasing their own public funding, and making it harder for independents to be elected.

Priorities.

Everything wrong with the ABC, every Sunday morning with Macca on the radio and Speers on TV
About 2 weeks ago (on the old place) a number of people highlighted that Macca on Australia All Over was allowing misinformation about climate change and renewable energy to go straight to air without balance or fact-checking

So many of you responded by complaining to the ABC - here's the result
