"It's frustrating. People didn't show up and do their job." - Senator @abdulelsayed.bsky.social on the 11 Dems who missed the Hegseth vote, some of which were at whip @repkclark's AIPAC-linked Super PAC event, then claimed "traffic issues" (even after @repjackson was caught lying).
"AUKUS, Gaza, immigration, fossil fuels, data centres, privacy, Aboriginal rights, anti-semitism, private schools, privatisation, gas exports, taxation, Iran, protest legislation, domestic violence ..." @australianlabor.bsky.social has failed us on all of that. senyai.substack.com/p/if-you-wan...
If you want a progressive Australia and still vote Labor you are either ignorant, stupid or both.
Labor is a centre-right neo-liberal party. It has abandoned the principles that progressive voters hold dear. Anyone progressive should give their first & second preferences to Independents or Greens

The rancid stench of Zionist Israel influence within the British Biased Corporation is evident in everyday bulletins full of apologists for the child murderers in Israel. However the omissions are just as significant. A petition raised by Jeremy Corbyn now compels the UK Gov to debate this anomaly.
the federal employment minister is telling ABC radio that it is up to unemployed people to acquire the skills to solve unemployment and up to workers to embrace slop tech and “feel” job satisfaction when governments and bosses force slop tech into workplaces and use it as an excuse to sack workers.
Full marks to @davidpocock.bsky.social for clearly articulating the fact that housing prices have to fall to allow young people to enter the market. Howard’s vote buying to attract the “ aspirationals” through CGT discount and negative gearing has created wealth for some at the expense of our young.

Sean Lock on Thatcher's death "The bitch is dead that's the main thing." "I'd like them to fire her out of a cannon onto buckingham palace so she goes splat." Oh we miss his honesty and his humour.

Israel did not just commit genocide in Gaza, it committed a systemic ecocide to make the land itself uninhabitable for Palestinians: Since 2023: -97% of tree crops have been lost -95% of shrubland has been lost -82% of annual crops have been lost By December 2024, 75% of agricultural land had
Kindness looks like you “Too many people in Labor are career politicians, & the Coalition is chasing One Nation’s voters. The result is a monocultural political class talking to voters who don’t recognise themselves in it, & Hanson fills the gap with a battler story 30 years out of date.” #Auspol

Allegedly, Murdoch media did all they could for years to stop stories about the alleged ‘predatory’ behaviour of Brand’s mate, David Walliams, because his Children’s books were such a cash cow for Murdoch owned publishing house, HarperCollins No words 🤬

I'll be sending my objection (I've attached it). I recommend that if you have concerns, send a formal objection to Clare and Albanese. They live in a bubble and it's going to take big numbers for them to pay attention. No alt text because of word count (other options advice appreciated) #auspol
Simon Rosenberg@simonrosenberg.bsky.social · 2d ago"attempts by Segal and the Israel lobby to indoctrinate Australians into forging a pro-Israel outlook from birth will fail. ...it will potentially cause *real* antisemitism by instilling that one small group deserves a privileged status." @deepcutnews.bsky.social www.deepcutnews.com/p/jillian-se...
On Wednesday Israeli occupation forces shot three Palestinian teens, killing one child aged 14, for what they said was the 'intention' to throw stones. A lie, an outrage, an execution. This is yet another murder of a Palestinian child by the apartheid state simply for existing.
Lots of commentary on Victoria's how-to-vote cards but voters don't have to take them. As good volunteers will tell you, getting out & talking to people in their electorates is always the best way to gather support before polling begins. #springst www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I don't believe the lies of the USA. I don't believe the lies of Israel. And, if I was attending #COP31, I wouldn't believe the lies of Australia; a nation that protects the profits of fossil fuels companies over protecting the planet. 😔 #auspol #ClimateCrisis
