There has only ever been one Australian prime minister who supported free university education. Gough Whitlam Gough introduced it in 1974. Bob Hawke got rid of it in 1989, by introducing HECS. #auspol

In its UN Security Council bid, Australia claims to “listen”, “partner” & “protect” - whatever TF that means from a government who has given away our sovereignty to the US. A more accurate pitch would be: 'Stand for nothing and offend no-one, while pretending to follow international law.' #auspol

The world is being torn apart by US aggression, using its military, trade and AI as weapons, and Albanese failed to mention this even once in his UN address. If you cannot even name the problem, why should anyone believe you can address it?

Jeez! Scrapes the barrel, this guy #Auspol

Hey #Auspol Remember when Atlas Network partners and offshoots helped turn majority support for the First Peoples’ consultative body to parliament? (Mining x “race” “science” infused bigotry). Watch Atlas-driven #NZpol erase Māori existence.

The Reserve Bank models economics. But should it also model how many deaths of innocent Australians it will cause? #auspol

TRANSLATION: The Reserve Bank is going to deliberately cause over 100,000 Australians to lose their jobs. This will please their corporate masters, who want the unemployment rate to rise above 4.5% in order to keep worker's wages low. #auspol

How did Albo and his sidekick Murray Watt manage to approve 37 fossil fuel projects? The sheer scale of it is staggering. Massive coal mines. Oil and gas drilling. Most weeks they approved another one. www.climatecouncil.org.au/resources/al... #auspol

Because Australia has solved climate change. We use unlimited, nonsense offsets to pretend that we have met our enission reduction targets all while exporting to the world and pretending that’s not a problem. It’s fascinating watching the Great Filter play out in front of our eyes #auspol
