How dare you lecture us about Hamas displaying a lack of humanity, in the face of Israel's blatant and constant barbarity and inhumanity. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Just so we’re clear: Labor is choosing to work with the worst possible party on environmental issues, instead of the Greens and teals who actually want environmental regulation.
And Watt is already admitting it won’t have a climate trigger …

Albanese is a Duopoly animal.
His abhorrence of things Green and Independent makes him no better than a Morrison or an Abbott.

Does this dickhead not realise most of the crap on social media comes from the Murdoch stable of lies and ignorance? #Newscorpse www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

News Corp Australia chair says social media platforms are ‘true monsters’ and ‘torment our children’

Michael Miller also says media must unite against second ‘big steal’ by tech companies seeking changes to copyright law to access content for free

So - let me get this straight…

They’ll ban social media for under 16s even though most experts say it WON’T work

But they won’t ban gambling advertising & other key recommendations even though most experts say it WILL work

What? #4corners #auspol

My @smh cartoon.

Two scenes. 1: advisor to Albo at his desk: “Sir, I must inform you that our canaries-in-the-coal-mines of climate change, transparency, accountability and social equity are all looking sickly…” PM: “Hmm…”
Scene 2: Albo at a lectern with press around: “…and that’s why my government is proud to announce the development of a new SUPER BREED of canaries…”

Claiming depreciation on Albo would be contested by a range of powerful vested interests.

After all, he is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fossil fuel lobby, consultancy firms, the gambling industry, Big Sport, aged care private providers, private employment services, weapons manufacturers...

You should be able to claim depreciation on the value of Prime Ministers in your tax return, because this one turned out to be pretty much worthless

"PM condemns ‘abhorrent’ Hamas graffiti"

I am still waiting for you to condemn Israel's abhorrent genocide of the Palestinians, @albomp.bsky.social. You know ... the actual terrorists? The Zionist Israelis? Committing GENOCIDE? #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

This gambling scam @australianlabor.bsky.social ... not one scintilla of social democratic care or courage. Why even bother? Join the Libs and be done with it. #auspol

Simon Rosenberg @simonrosenberg.bsky.social · 2d

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

Trump's plan demonstrates that America could've stopped the genocide in Gaza 2 years ago, chose not to & now presents another 'gun to your head' contract for Palestine to agree with.
🎗️Palestine has been recognised as such since the 5th century BCE. Palestine comes with Palestinians.
Let us prey.
