#auspol hands up those old enough to remember this. Malcolm Turnbull could have said this to Albo and I would have agreed with him.

Does it make sense that all states have passed laws supportive of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) services, but the federal government won't allow advice to be given by telehealth, or scripts be sent by text or email? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...
Albanese personally opposed to Labor push on voluntary assisted dying
The prime minister says he is unconvinced Australians should be allowed to access voluntary assisted dying via telehealth, holding concerns over its "misuse".

Uh Huh... @australianlabor.bsky.social also gave us the PRRT. Working perfectly as intended according to Albanese, with Aussies paying more in beer tax than what we collect from our petroleum exports. Nothing to see here. Why am I not convinced this is a good idea? #auspol

My how things will change, once BRICS becomes the dominant trading method. Nobody will want or need the US $ unless they're trading with the US. The dominance by & drift into irrelevance for much of the west is well underway yet our ever abiding albo keeps chucking rocks at China while #auspol

Lulz to @australianlabor.bsky.social . Will the new office of AI be setup in the same vein as the NACC? #auspol Another office setup to protect & further enrich the powerful, using Australians as fodder. When will the ALP place National interest over vested/corporate interests? Not holding my breath

They remain a remarkable example of Aboriginal innovation... and form one part of a growing body of work that challenges how hunter-gatherer Australian societies have long been perceived.

1st, i listened to a media announcer on a certain media outlet pronounce her name as jillian seagull (very apt). 2nd. I found her accusing the abc for antisemitism envoy tactics, beathtaking hypocrisy. "They can mark their own homework. They are, with respect, judge, counsel and jury."
Someone needs to tell Segal she can’t put lipstick on a genocide. #AusPol

No institution should be able to move assets beyond survivors' reach and call it good governance. I've referred these Christian Brothers asset transfers to the AFP and ACNC for investigation. Survivors have waited long enough.

The saddest part of this regime is this guy will be will be a doddering, gibbering dribbling mess, sitting staring at goats, long before consequences come close to catching up to him personally. Some of his enablers may not be so fortunate.
US President Donald Trump said the military operation in Venezuela lasted ‘exactly 48 minutes’ and claimed the US has recovered its costs 28 times over through oil extraction.

Thanks and please keep raising woeful behaviour such as this. Has anybody asked our fearful leader if a location(s) have been selected for the high grade nuclear waste dump yet? Where are they? Has a cost analysis been done on who will be & how this will be stored/managed? What will that cost be?
This is what happens when you have a Defence establishment that fails time and time again, and relies on the unquestioning loyalty of Labor, the Coalition and One Nation. It is an expensive cult that thrives off public money and the gravy train of AUKUS.

Who ever is writing the scripts which the newsreaders are reading today - why are they missing the key fact that the Greens have also taken a significant number of seats from Labour in their local elections? They are only mentioning Reform. What's going on??? #auspol
I’ve no problem with charging anyone who went to Syria to have anything to do with ISIS. Surely this should also apply to anyone who has gone to Israel to have anything to do with the committal of genocide? #AusPol
