Latest energy figures are out for 2024-25 - once again 83% of Australia's gas is exported or used to convert gas to PNG exports. There is no gas shortage. We do not need more gas. We need to #TAXtheGAS

Hey everyone remember how I was saying the AI X-risk criti-hype is a targeted project designed to kill regulations and further ensure an impatient rush on data centre contsruction www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...
OpenAI breach proves need for more data centres, major parties say
Labor, Coalition agree OpenAI's Medicare breach proves the need for Australia to secure "a seat at the AI table" by rolling out data centres nationally.

We militarily assist Israel. We take no action against Israel when an Australian citizen is murdered in an IDF targeted attack. We charge the law to protect Israel from criticism. We allow IDF members here for R&R. We don’t walk out on Netanyahu at the UN. We are complicit in genocide.
I’m doomscrolling while literally sitting & watching my Mother die slowly in front of me, in an underfunded, understaffed & yet profitable care home in Australia, while our useless leaders pander to Nazis & I’m wondering how we got here. #NothingMakesSense #Auspol #AlwaysLoveYouMum 😞
Farmers who intend to vote for One Nation should know that they are accepting that “climate change” is normal.By doing so they will negate any logical argument for taxpayer assistance when “normal” weather events occur. Don’t ask for help if you deny the very thing you need help to overcome!
The PM is in the US mugging for selfies with the guy who stripped regulation from some of the world's most dangerous AI companies, while a US company linked to the Trump administration hacked arguably Australia's most sensitive database in a serious attack on our sovereignty.
I can not get past every politician and journalist accepting the ludicrous premise that designing tech to trawl Medicare portals has any rational let alone benign purpose at all. It doesn’t. Nobody needs this shit. They are just testing whether political cravenness still has no limits.
only gonna vote for parties who will arrest these people and bulldoze data centres
Anthony Albanese says OpenAI agent hacked Medicare and he expressed ‘extreme concern’ to Sam Altman
Prime minister says he told chief executive he was disappointed it had taken company ‘way too long’ to inform government of breach

This is an extraordinary act of direct foreign interference by the US embassy in domestic Australian politics. The Australian government should publicly respond by rejecting efforts by the US embassy to dictate how Australia legislates for a digital duty of care.

A liar and a hypocrite. Seriously threatening John Fucking Howard's longstanding Worst PM title.
Australia’s conventional sense of patriotism falters the moment it is asked to apply its own standards consistently, writes Marcia Langton. Hanson and One Nation routinely deploy nationalist symbolism, but when politically expedient, the digger is expendable. trib.al/dDqJ82y
Who gets to be a traitor?
When Pauline Hanson labelled SAS veteran and Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie a ‘traitor’ eight times, then animated the insult and pinned it to the top of her social media feed, she did more than provoke outrage. She exposed the conditional nature of Australia’s reverence for military service and revealed how brittle our nationalist mythology becomes when it collides with powerful, wealthy political interests.

Most immigrants are simply better people with better ethics and morals than Anglo racists.
Your topical reminder of this excerpt from 🇦🇺 national anthem: "For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share With courage let us all combine To advance Australia fair" #auspol
ALP gives up any pretense of being a social democratic party. It's letting the vile racist fascist scum make policy.

📈 NEW DATA In 2008, nearly half of Australian private-sector workers were employed by small business. That's fallen to 39% as big corporations gobble up the workforce. And just 0.2% of businesses generate 44% of total private sector revenue! www.deepcutnews.com/p/small-busi...
Why the decline of small business is bad for workers
Corporations are gobbling up a growing share of the workforce – and eroding workers’ power.

Whether or not the digital duty of care is good policy is one thing. But pretending the Coalition is against it because of ‘freedom of speech’ or ‘protecting the press’ is delusional - ESPECIALLY from Sarah Henderson www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
Coalition's leading culture warrior ties herself in free-speech knots
Henderson has made a career out of declaring what she believes free speech to be, seeking to squash views she doesn’t personally agree with.

Second wealthiest real country at the median adult, with the US nowhere is sight. But the US is second wealthiest at the *mean* adult (behind Switzerland); Australia third (not counting Luxembourg, Hong Kong ... made-up places). What does this tell you?
GregoryWalters@catmanforever.bsky.social · 3w agoSadly, for ordinary Australians, being the third-richest country in the world means diddly squat, because most of that wealth goes to the wealthiest 5% of our population. Meanwhile, we have real poverty here and dire income inequality. #auspol #aupol
Ben Roberts Smith is a fucking war criminal - l am no fan of Hastie’s but Hanson’s unwavering support for BRS and her criticism of Hastie should be condemned - this also shows how gutless many Liberal MP’s have become… www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

LBC: According to leaked Five Eyes intelligence assessments, former British SAS, US Navy SEALs, Australian SAS, and western police are training Russian troops inside Bulgaria and Serbia for combat in Ukraine. If true, it's a betrayal justifying the worst possible, and most extreme, legal sanction.
