I want to love your public transport, Brisbane, but it really is shit. How can a bus be 7 minutes late to the 3rd stop from the depot? It's not even rush hour. There is no congestion. *sigh*

We all knew AUKUS was a bad deal when Morrison signed it. The Australian public deserves to know why Albanese did not undo Morrison's idiocy.
Simon Rosenberg@simonrosenberg.bsky.social · 16h ago"Government ministers have dismissed the public inquiry as a stitch-up by critics of the agreement." So why aren't they pushing the 'merits' of #AUKUS through a full parliamentary inquiry? The public inquiry was needed because the Albanese govt treats Australians like mushrooms. #EndAUKUS #auspol
Enjoying the clear analysis in the AUKUS public inquiry report - and this recommendation is making my morning coffee even better - terminate the AUKUS subs deal now.
Jason Clare decided to leave public schools underfunded for another ten years while increasing funding for private schools. He is a terrible Education minister
Jommy Tee@jommytee.bsky.social · 5h agoAnd on and on it goes. Jason Clare keen to prosecute the Segal agenda. "Education Minister announced last Friday that under the draft legislation, the maximum fine for universities will increase from the existing cap of $40,000 to $2 million – a 50-fold increase."
I am really rather delighted that the billionaires couldn't buy the US mid-terms.
The sexist and racist abuse being hurled at my colleagues Mehreen Faruqi and Steph Hodgins-May is vile, and it's designed to marginalise women in public life. No one should have to face this, but I also know that Steph and Mehreen are fierce, principled and staying strong.
WE Know - it's our Politicians who are being Bribed OR Blackmailed.
The aged care system has been corrupt from the start. If @markbutlermp.bsky.social is the anointed next #PM then the #ALP Credibility and Australian #sovereignty is OVER! #auspol

How many of these scandals have we had since 2022 when the PWC ATO scandal broke? Is it clear yet that Labor have no intention of running the government for Australians? The system is working as intended by its architects in the fossil fuel industry. LNP, Labor & PHON are all their stooges.
Michael Mazengarb@michaelmazengarb.bsky.social · yesterdayThis has been a big piece of work for the Climate Integrity team - great to have it out into the world. “What we have is a consultancy with undeclared ties to the gas industry advising the government on consequential gas policy.” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-11...
There is a genocide in Gaza. This artwork tells a part of that truth. It is appallingly that governments, local, state or federal, are acting to suppress that truth. This artwork showed in Canberra, it exposed violence, it didn’t cause it. That’s its power. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
NSW council refuses to show world-renowned Gaza artwork over ‘unacceptable’ safety risk

I swear the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is devoting more coverage to the election in America than it is to the one in Victoria, where 7 million Australians live and where one its main studios is located
And if she doesn’t, then we should be having weeks of headlines along the lines of “JILLIAN SEGAL REFUSES TO ADDRESS FAMILY FUNDING OF GROUP LINKED TO NEO-NAZIS” and “MILLION DOLLAR ‘ANTISEMITISM’ ENVOY UNBOTHERED BY NAZI THREAT TO AUSTRALIANS” So why aren’t we seeing this in our mainstream media?
And when crossbencher Zali Steggall tried to introduce a bill to make it illegal, Labor refused to even allow debate on it. Because Labor lie to us all the time. It's also why they knackered NACC. They are guilty. share.google/DH8ZHqDj1gza...

Michael Dowling aka MeckeringBoy@meckeringboy.bsky.social · 3d agowww.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/should-... “In UK parliamentary system, as in Australian federal system, there are currently no laws stating that lying in parliament is a criminal offence & no legal consequences for politicians who’re found to have strayed from the truth in their statements.”
None of us Queenslanders can tell lies in the Queensland Parliament. Not the premier & not us citizens. It's a criminal offence. Where a mistake is made we come back into parliament, make an apology & correct Hansard. That's the story the Qld media are missing here. #qldpol
David Marler@qldaah.bsky.social · 3d agoQueensland Premier David Crisafulli says Fitzroy River is world class for rowing. Crocs aren't the only issue. He's told us this has been signed off. World Rowing President Jean-Christophe Rolland says it's not. You can see how bloody frustrating the Qld media is to us Queenslanders. #qldpol
They designed the system so that people who deserve care can't get it. That's why this is happening

I dunno how many millions have been thrown at the Special Envoy, but I think a tweet or two is within its budget?

Deepcut News@deepcutnews.bsky.social · 3d agoIt's time to sack Jillian Segal, writes Jeffrey Loewenstein (former chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission). Segal's latest report - dubbed ASECA Priorities - is an unhinged attack on Australian democratic life, Loewenstein argues. www.deepcutnews.com/p/its-time-t...
This Haley Stevens saga demonstrates that legacy parties are not opposed to one another they are unified in opposing anything that changes the system that oppresses the people.
I honestly do not understand why anyone cares that an American actress married a British aristocrat but if you MUST follow celebrity lives then don't be a sucker and let patriarchal media make you hate women.
Groupthink is stupid. Not that the ABC, filled with Murdoch stooges, is capable of critical thought anymore.
ABC News Australia@news.abc.net.au · 3d agoDisunity is death, but can the federal government rein in the blame game?
