More accurate headline: 'Labor prioritizes lobby groups over gambling harm.' And I wish journos would stop using "crackdown" to describe Labor's pissweak package. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
Gambling ad reforms at risk as Labor draws line on major changes
Labor is unlikely to entertain major changes to its gambling ad crackdown despite the bill being 'friendless' in parliament.

Yet again, @albomp.bsky.social's @australianlabor.bsky.social would seemingly prefer to put big business first, no matter the devastating harm it causes to Australian families and children www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08.... Again we ask, who do you serve, Albo?

Europe shuts nuclear power plants due to drought. Now imagine putting nuclear power plants on the driest inhabited continent on earth 🙄
It's also vital that AI providers build safety into their products from the outset, and that the government ensures that our kids' safety can be protected online. We need a legislated digital duty of care as a matter of urgency.
Can we have this here in Australia? Shoppers should be paid for their efforts in serving themselves #auspol

A political leader who accepts what are scientific facts and acts accordingly. A political leader who witnesses the most documented genocide in history and acts accordingly. A leader to be envious of.
Anthony Albanese is a proven sell-out #auspol “Our analysis consistently shows a pattern of Labor consistently siding with powerful lobbyists against the public and national interest” www.deepcutnews.com/p/albaneses-...
Albanese keeps backing lobbyists over public opinion, our analysis shows
From salmon to supermarkets, gas to Gaza, the PM has consistently backed those with power and wealth

We know that Labor continues to approve new fossil fuel projects and subsidise fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute. They are letting the biggest polluters cook the planet, and to add insult to injury, they are letting them avoid billions in taxes too.
Shame on Australia for voting no to a First Nations Voice to Parliament 😢 #auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

AU. Labor’s promise to ease living costs and cut taxes may offer relief, but it avoids the deeper question of who owns, controls and profits from the systems making life insecure. 😱Labor should talk about the cost of capitalism (clutching pearls). pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/08...

How can this be? Indian conglomerate Adani will pay no company tax despite generating almost $1bn in revenue from coal mining in Queensland over the past year. We should be marching on Parliament. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Voters are starting to ask a new question about politics, money
Debate about money in politics has traditionally revolved around whether politicians have broken the rules. But voters are increasingly asking what good judgement looks like.

We need an alternative to the sovereignty destroying, secretive, wasteful ,warmongering AUKUS fiasco. Labor must focus on cost of living, climate change, housing, health and education. Threatening Rex Patrick with costs in order to hide plans for a nuclear waste dump stinks!
4 women murdered by men in 4 days in July, and these pelicans think the problem is the Family Law Courts, the definition of domestic violence, and paid domestic violence leave. Just a reminder, Hanson’s son is a convicted domestic violence offender.
