A different format for the #SundayShot today. @davemilbo.bsky.social & I chat about the news of the week before I interview Andrew Dodd & Matthew Ricketson about their excellent book GETTING MURDOCHED and Dave sits down with the impressive @davidshoebridge.bsky.social. youtu.be/s5VZ7FXnzPw?...

Labor National Conference: where the party’s most important voices meet to make sure no-one will say anything
Chris Minns rightly getting slammed at the protest against the illegal closure of Divine Playhouse for his cowardly abrogation of leadership as Heaps Gay and the Queer community were under attack from an orchestrated campaign by radical conservative Christians.
Gareth Evans telling it like it is, namely AUKUS is: “more likely than not to prove one of the worst defence and foreign policy decisions our country has made” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/defence/2026/07/25/case-against-aukus
The case against AUKUS
As this week’s ALP National Conference will confirm, the Albanese government remains strongly wedded to the AUKUS nuclear-propelled submarine project. But the project was misconceived from the outset ...

The #SundayShot is up! We lost Pine Gap correspondent @davemilbo.bsky.social along the way due to dodgy internet but @nicolechvastek.bsky.social & Jesse Noakes last the distance & a good time was had by all (including a gaggle of curious schoolboys @ Geelong Library). www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Z...

Happy 45th birthday to Soft Cell's version of Tainted Love, released on this day in 1981
Instead of waiting until 2027 for "advice", maybe Labor could follow advice from its own 2020 Senate report that rejected the anti-intellectual & inequitable scheme as creating an "Americanised education system characterised by high levels of private debt". And get rid of it. As promised. In 2022.
Sorry for the #SundayShot 's unexpected week off last week - panellist availabilities & school holidays got too much for us. We're back this week and truly national with @nicolechvastek.bsky.social in Geelong, Jesse Noakes in Perth, @davemilbo.bsky.social in Alice & me back on Gadigal land. Join us!
This week's #SundayShot is up! Unfortunately we lost panellist Soaliha Iqbal early due to technical issues (she'll be back next week, inshallah) but happily @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social always has lots to say....particularly about the Govt's ongoing FOI bastardry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJn8...

I am very pleased the Socceroos made it through - albeit with an uninspiring nil all draw - but let’s recall that having got from the round of (the bloated #WorldCup2026) 48 to 32 we are now just where we normally start. Perspective, please.
This week's #SundayShot has great analysis from @crikey.com.au's Charlie Lewis on Hanson's insane #NPC address and Bruce Wolpe on Trump's humiliating capitulation to Iran. Get into it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8BP...

This is an excellent if scarifying article from @auspoldaily.bsky.social about the international influences that are turning clicks into votes for One Nation. redbridgeintel.substack.com/p/call-it-wh...
Call It What It Is: Foreign Interference
If a hostile state ran this sort of operation to swing our vote, we'd call it foreign interference. It's time we did.

What a #SundayShot! @davemilbo.bsky.social on his @theshot.net.au scoop re Oz munitions in Israel, @boganintel.bsky.social on BHP's threats against @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social and insights from @mrdtjames.bsky.social! Plus Uncle Robbie Thorpe v the Commonwealth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI8m...

Linda Reynolds is astonishingly blind to the fact that it is her own actions that trashed her reputation. Suing and bankrupting a young woman she concedes was raped in her office consigned her forever to infamy as a truly terrible person, something of we're reminded every time she whines to the Oz.
That's some chutzpah from a company accused of underpaying its workers by up to billions of dollars! See @boganintel.bsky.social's story on the issue (and BHP having to slink away from their attempt to sue @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social for reporting on it): www.boganintel.com/p/bhp-tries-...
I think we need to come up with another adjective for BHP other than the "Big" Australian. I can think of a few.... www.boganintel.com/p/bhp-tries-...
BHP tries to bury $11.4 billion wage theft scandal — and Michael West with it
Sworn evidence, a $2 shell company, and a disabled coal miner. Now they’re coming for the messenger.
