The fact that lobbies (especially pro-genocide ones) can spend so much money to buy elections is a damning indictment of the system.
Going to go and buy @amyremeikis.bsky.social new book tomorrow. I’ve been over “keeping things nice” for years now.
Peter Greste is 🎯, but doesn't go far enough. This is not just about Hanson's dislike for some 'unfriendly' media outlets. It's a deliberate effort to further undermine public confidence in fact-based journalism that could hold her to account. Her tactics are straight from Trump and MAGA. #auspol
🦎 Jen - It's the Stupid People, Stupid 🐝@jennifereccles.bsky.social · yesterdayIf Hanson is deciding between those she likes and those she doesn’t, between publications branded “friendly” and those marked “hostile”, between “good media” and “bad”, it risks tarnishing those who are allowed inside the One Nation tent as being on “their side”.
Labor is relying on the fact that people will preference them before the LibNats, Greens and One Nation in retaining government come 2028 #auspol
Senator David Shoebridge@davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 20h agoThis is a Minister who is purposeful delaying family reunion visas, denying refugees protection and scapegoating migrants for issues his Government created. It is not surprise Labor is in a race to the bottom on immigration, but it is toxic politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
First Dog On The Moon ... nails it. Sickenly accurate. $700k profit per minute ... 'just a minute', it took less than that to annihilate 165 innocent little Iranian school girls & about the same time or less for the double-tap to destroy those who ran to help them www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
i know im poor but in a wealthy AF country still feels like there won’t be a way out because it’s who you know, not what you know
And exactly like the BBC, we should never forget how @abcnews @ABCaustralia has changed this country by doing exactly the same thing—endless airtime given to the rightwing and their propaganda without any pushback on lies/disinformation while shutting out progressive voices. #auspol
By invoking Judaism to justify genocide, "Israel is generating the exact hostility it claims to fight". In Australia, if the royal commission is serious about antisemitism, the toxic role of the Netanyahu regime and Israel lobbyists must be spotlighted. pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/08...
Israel is losing America – and endangering Jews
Israel’s war in Gaza has eroded support across the US political spectrum, while Netanyahu’s claim to act for all Jews risks fuelling the very anti-Jewish hostility Israel says it opposes.

Wait, aren't we still probing all the fraud from stripping back or ignoring the procurement rules during COVID?
Lucy Fisher@lucyfisher.ft.com · yesterdayEXC: UK govt is “stripping back” onerous public procurement rules in pro-growth shake up of system, Louise Haigh tells FT Overhaul will make job creation/skills development the only ‘social value’ requirement for biz competing for Whitehall contracts worth £90bn annually www.ft.com/content/9878...
Parliamentary wise, sure Meanwhile, gambling companies and lobbyists are doing all they can to incentivise watering down gambling reform #auspol

Seems like both in the US and Australia Commercial media is pushing a conservative mindset that is wrought with the pitfalls everyone’s experiencing right now
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · 16h agoThe media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
i think i’m stuck as being a wage slave for the rest of my life
This is disturbing. Scammers going door to door claiming to be Home Affairs. The Department has put out a warning. #auspol #ScamWatch
Grahamstown Dam here in Port Stephens was at 61% or something. We have idiots running the country basically. They're all just fans of the ultra rich cause that's who they want to be and who pays the most. Money is all that matters to them. They'd burn us all and wouldn't give a shit
Is Australia even talking about the water these Data centres will consume? I take it people will be happy that the water being used for Data centres may be the water needed to protect their homes/schools/hospitals from fire #auspol
Kenneth is good people, chip in if you can, or help spread the word? It all adds up!
K.C. Clyburn, Author@kccomplainsalot.blacksky.app · 2d agoSo I'm in a pretty bad situation. I have a week to get out of where I live. No car, temporarily laid off, have to be gone in a week.

we are at the point where huge swathes of the media sees their only job as getting attention from the public and giving nothing back and you're supposed to juuust tell enough truth that you can't be called an outright liar, just get the click anyhow, it is used car sales masquerading as journalism
Gareth L. Powell / G.L. Powell@garethlpowell.bsky.social · 16h agoIt’s like how there was that one professor who thought the recent interstellar asteroids were likely to be alien spaceships, and even though the rest of the scientific community disagreed with him, it was reported as “scientist says…”

Just after midnight in Kyiv. Once again, the city is under ballistic missile attack. Loud explosions shake the summer night.
Something that’s been lost in the NAPLAN reporting today: the equity gap in our school system is growing. First Nations kids, kids living in poverty, and those in regional, rural and remote communities are falling further behind. Most of them attend an underfunded public school.
Australia has reached the “lets label anti fascist and anti genocide activism as terrorism” in case you are wondering how fucked we are.
