Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."
Max Miller thinks the lesson from Trump is: never answer the questions, just outlast them. That’s exactly what’s wrong with today’s Rigpublicans. Accountability isn’t for THEM—it’s only for everyone else. SAD!
Election platform: Yes, I’m scum. But so was Trump. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm sure there will be 'getting the balance right' arguments coming from Labor, but one side of the scales is just humungously dangerous. Albo needs to turn the temperature down before these monoliths raise the heat in our neighborhoods. #Auspol thepoint.com.au/new/260803-g...
Greens warn rapid expansion of AI risks becoming ‘another mining boom’ without urgent regulation
The Greens are calling for an urgent one-year freeze on approvals for new data centres until Parliament has legislated nationally consistent rules to regulate Australia’s rapidly expanding AI industry...

They are all somebody’s someone. We need to do better.
David Marler@qldaah.bsky.social · 2d agoAs we tonight watch David Crisafulli & Jarrod Bleijie pompously parade around the screen, in Brisbane between 1 July 2025 & 30 June 2026, there were 984 families, including 1,539 children, identified by name as homeless. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Yes, it’s Australia, but it is Trump’s playbook by One Nation
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
Was the woman’s identity similarly protected? Hope he rots in jail with some cosy cell mates.
3wombats@3wombats.bsky.social · 3d agoWe must stand together against this populist BS.
Random Sarah@random-sarah.bsky.social · 3d agoI hate the direction Australia is going. I hate that a lot of people are spending big $$ and pushing in all the right places to put Trumpinstein in control of the country. I hate that people fall for the shit so easily and are such selfish cunts. I'm exhausted protecting those I love #auspol
The debate will be sallow and shallow but to be expected given the company.
mr dog@firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social · 3d agoDo you like well-reasoned arguments and pithy retorts? Well bad luck because it's time for the great climate debate hosted by disgraced breakfast flake Karl Whatsisface! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Wanna be yank cowboys back PHON. Another brand I’ll never purchase again.
I've thought about your POLL so much, my brain went numb (Many people don't know, or assume, that NUMB ends in "b") I prefer DUMBO-crat as it contains the name of 1 of the most popular Disney characters of all-time! You're welcome for my attention to this very important matter! Beloved Icon-MRH
The biggest boost to "resilience" and to our national security is to understand this illegal war isn't going to end soon - and to take the initiative and urgently accelerate our transition to renewables NOT invest in the past The total lack of forward thinking in our body politic is alarming
Rex Patrick@mrrexpatrick.bsky.social · 4d agoWe mustn’t gift public money to a new refinery. If it needs a ‘resilience’ leg-up, it should be done by equity stake - with a senior official on the board to guard against price gouging, tax evasion and to ensure national interest is ever present. #auspol
We, Australia, could've had at least ONE French submarine by now.
Grifters gonna grift.
David Marler@qldaah.bsky.social · last wk.One Nation owes 3 years worth of audited financial statements to Queensland's Office of Fair Trading. There has been no explanation so far from the party as to why it has been non-compliant with state legislation. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...
