Seriously, what a load of bollocks @abcnewsbot.bsky.social, you find a couple of social media active farmers who are whinging bc their parents are about to be taxed an extra 15% bc collectively they will have more than $6M in super? Way out of touch. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Super changes will hit those with millions but they say the impact could be devastating

This farming family has millions in super but proposed reforms have left them in a position where they may have to sell the farm.

7.30 Richard Marles Fucking pathetic. There, I've said it.

It's time we stopped normalising insanity.

But that’s not what some guy on the internet said. 🙃

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

#LNP wants to prosecute those they made homeless through continuous #NeoLiberal assaults on society - #auspol.

Shiannon Corcoran@shiannonc.bsky.social · last yr.

QLD LNP MP calls for return of vagrancy laws to allow police to prosecute homeless ppl. Bec for the LNP - vilifying homeless ppl is so much easier than trying to help them. How fckd do u have to be to do this to people? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Lord! Someone must have put a bomb under Speers, or taken the muzzle off him. The Israili deputy PM got a fair grilling from him re Gaza. Of course, she ranted on about Israeli safety. Everyone else to blame. None starving in Gaza. All Hamas propaganda. She was the epitome of dreadful.

You know this guy is dead right, right?

Stop this at 16 seconds. Clearly that officer aimed and shot her.

Matt Bevan@mattbevan.bsky.social · last yr.

My producer sent this to me and off the headline I was like "oh right, so she got hit by a loose round"... but then when you see it... like, that officer saw she was a reporter and shot her ~on camera~. Absolutely wild. Hope @laurentomasi.bsky.social is ok.

More chaos. It's orchestrated and designed, workshopped, and being enacted. Stay strong and peaceful all good Americans.

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · last yr.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Good grief. Someone must remove him, now.

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

It’s now clear that this whole-of-govt contract is going to run into the hundreds of millions of taxpayer $$ It is completely unacceptable that Amazon Web Services has said the 🇦🇺 Govt can not publish the total contract value 🤯 When will our leaders start standing up to big tech??

This morning I noticed the interview Nasser Mashni gave to ABC yesterday was quietly pulled from the ABC website without explanation. As the horror in Gaza escalates, it looks like ABC has chosen to supress a crucial Palestinian voice. The ABC should explain why. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/27/n...

ABC pulls interview with Palestine advocate from website and iview

During the interview, Nasser Mashni made a pointed remark that it was time 'for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea'.

Ed Husic has guts, compassion, and a mind of his own. So they chucked him out. He is dead right.

Australia has a proud history of standing up against human catastrophe. Gaza should be no exception | Ed Husic

What is the point to these weak responses? Why do Labor keep trying to avoid the inevitable? Australia is a signatory to upholding human rights & international law. The Australian people do not want to be made complicit in genocide! Labor have the mandate ... divest from the US & Israel already!

University of Technology Sydney asked KPMG to analyse researchers by income generated and produce a master Excel list of productivity at the individual level as part of its $360m restructure. The EBA might have something to say about that. Revealing docs. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

A leaked report of the KPMG-led restructure plan for UTS is based on a performance metric not permitted by labour contracts.

I see Littleproud is now alleging the failure of the (then) Coalition's nuclear policy was down to a lack of "agile" messaging. No, David. It was a shit policy that was comprehensively rejected by the electorate. Let it go.

Senator Bridget Mackenzie, please stop gaslighting in press conferences and interviews by claiming Nationals represent 9 million rural Australians. At current count (excluding combined LNP Queensland) Nationals vote across Australia is 588,755 or 3.80% Lazy journalists need to fact check her too

Western Australians have missed out on better healthcare, education and public housing because the gas industry hasn’t been paying for the gas it exports.

Sabrina Balfour @sbalfour.bsky.social · last yr.

Australia Institute research has found that 73% of gas exported from WA attracts zero royalty payments, effectively giving a public resource to multinational gas corporations for free. Over the last four years, $111 billion worth of WA LNP was exported australiainstitute.org.au/post/zero-ro...

The Labor govt has massive political capital and is facing a pathetic opposition. If Albanese and Chalmers fail to lead the nation on the need for genuine tax reform, that will not just be unforgivable cowardice. It's criminal negligence. #auspol

Greg Jericho@grogsgamut.bsky.social · last yr.

Australia's tax system is currently geared to help the very richest avoid paying tax. That means everyone else has to pay more to ensure we have the things we need.
