Rural woman from Indi where independents win. Former political candidate and mayor. Country folk are not all like Barnaby.
Next two years are going to be the worst yet for climate — and we’ll still have News Corp saying it’s not real. People will believe them. And will blame migrants for burning down their houses. And will refuse to accept that 250 years of industrial fossil fuel combustion has lead to where we are.
What the fuck is going on @albomp.bsky.social ? Why are we being governed by zionists? Stop this insanity and start talking about #Israeligenocide
The fact that @albomp.bsky.social chose this extremist to placate the Zionist Israelis tells us everything we need to know about who he has become as PM. Capitulating, sycophantic - bought and sold. And not just in this case.
Segal proposes antisemitism taskforce over health regulators, professional boards, hospitals, govt departments, unis, primary, secondary and preschools. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social reports Royal Commission #auspol michaelwest.com.au/segal-propos...
I'm so fed up with hearing what Segal proposes. We need universal protections that work for all. Carving out one group & giving them special attention creates flawed policies that are divisive & short sighted
The devastating reality of the climate crisis in a single image. The Gironde fire in this photo has destroyed 42,000 hectares of vegetation and forced evacuation of more than 200,000 people, in scenes of destruction reminiscent of Victoria's Black Saturday and Black Summer. 📸 AFP/Maximilien Lamy
According to the journalist who took this photo, "the setting is apocalyptic". With an El Nino summer ahead for in Australia, we must do everything in our power to accelerate towards a cleaner, cheaper and safer energy future. Our kids' lives are on the line. It's time to act.
Meanwhile the Australian govt keeps approving new fossil fuel developments for export, while pretending that has nothing to do with record heatwaves and wildfires. #ClimateCrisis #auspolo
Severe fires in France Spain Norway as well as several locations in USA and Canada. Climate change? The new normal?🤔 We are told there is nothing to see here!
Amazes me that citizens have to jump through zoological tests to qualify for basic survival payments and access to services #ndis yet mining magnates just get a raft of subsidies by whining about their plight to nations minerals and profiteering. Disgusting stances from major political parties.
"We can be confident that the word 'genocide' will not appear in the revised platform at the ALP Conference." Albanese and Wong dismiss the #GazaGenocide as an 'empty slogan' to avoid the legal obligations that come with the genocide label. #auspol pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/07...
Genocide, the word Albanese and Wong will never utter
By refusing to name genocide in Gaza, the Labor government avoids the legal and moral obligations that would follow – but not the shame of complicity.

A woman in my old home town in Tassie stabbed and in a critical condition while the perpetrator…yet another ‘man who was known to her’ took off and crashed his car into another woman and seriously injured her as well. But do tell us again Pauline Hanson how this isn’t a real crime. 🖕

If you are a parent who has agonised over where to send you children to school... When I tell people a few things about the education system in Finland, they are stunned. e.g. absolutely no-one pays a single cent for any education from pre-school to PhD. Why don't we have that here?

‘Stupid’: Hanson blasts trans rights, renews attack on immigration
Pauline Hanson used a small right-wing conference in London to attack Australia’s stance on trans rights, net zero and migration.

When Pauline Hanson and Tommy Robinson met, hatred was a given. More disturbing was the spectacle
When Pauline Hanson and Tommy Robinson met, hatred was a given. More disturbing was the spectacle
One Nation’s polling popularity is proof positive we live in an upside-down world which surpasses substance and vaults reason Pauline Hanson’s podcast with Tommy Robinson was dispiriting in unexpected ways. Racism was a given: more deflating was the recognition of its entertainment value. Enough attention has been directed towards Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. He is a thug, a fraudster, a bully and a bigot. Despite, or because of this, there are those who rush to swing hands with him. Hugh Riminton is national affairs editor at Channel 10 Continue reading...
