Tony Abbott (Not the onion eater)
@tonyabb.bsky.social
Amazed to have made it into my eighth decade. Resolute cynic of politics and the economy. On the left and supporter of women and minorities. Dark sense of humour. Living on Kabi Kabi country. Anti Zionist
Funny how they will cave to things PHON wants but will ignore the massed voices of the populace on things like AUKUS Israeli genocide Gas tax
Today the ALP will finalise its transformation into a fully fledged Conservative Party by being bullied by One Nation into reducing migration numbers.
Let’s hope that the next generation is not a pair of men whose agenda is politics, personal power and self aggrandising
Sally McManus & Michele O'Neil leave a powerful legacy. I've long admired their shared, steadfast commitment to collective solidarity & their principled leadership alongside each other. They've led with conviction & set the stage for the next generation of strong union leaders.
The major parties wonder why voters are leaving them. Have a look at the recent Labor conference for a few clues…the people are left out of real debate.
Oh. I’m sure they know. They’re just more scared if the Zionist lobby than they are of the people
I really think @australianlabor.bsky.social massively underestimates the levels of anger of Australians who want our government to stand up to Israeli and Zionists. Australians do not tolerate the grotesque murder of so many Palestinians by a country that believes it is untouchable. #gutless
Because “Labor doesn’t outsource government”. Except to gas companies and Zionists
"It took the Albanese government 10 months to respond to Aftab Malik’s inaugural report as Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia. Given the wait, you might have expected sweeping reforms. Instead, the response was so light on substance it could’ve been an email. Labor accepted 35 of the 54 recs" '..
SA Premier saying the investment in sub building was equal to building 15 hospitals like it was a good thing was dumbfounding to me. It took me a few seconds to realise that he was actually proud of this. No longer the ALP that I was once proud of.
Building submarines is the “pride of the nation” says Marles and SA Premier says the scale of the AUKUS investment is equal to 15 hospitals! I’ll take hospitals before submarines any day. Jobs building hospitals, homes, and dealing with global warming better than warmongering!
The Royal Commission keeps wasting our time, with claims from the most privileged people in society that even the hyphen is now anti-semitic. Time to get real about this outrageous overreach and tell these people where to go, and listen to others in the Jewish community.
Zionism is antisemitic. #GenocideJillian would reduce antisemitism in Australia drastically if she'd simply fuck off.

No institution should be able to move assets beyond survivors' reach and call it good governance. I've referred these Christian Brothers asset transfers to the AFP and ACNC for investigation. Survivors have waited long enough.
Australia wake up! Australians need to stop big money influencing elections, we need to stop political donations now. We've seen what it has done elsewhere and yet there is no groundswell of opposition against it? Cap the spending and only allow taxpayer funding before it's too late. #EatTheRich
Barbara. Have you given any consideration to the hundreds of good young people in KPMG who will lose their jobs because of the few bad people in positions of power and your relentless pursuit of the entirety of KPMGs business.
I wrote to Katy Gallagher, Minister for Finance & Public Sector, calling for the govt to cease KPMG’s ethics & leadership training in the APS. KPMG has a $1.27 mil contract to run training for 300 public servants. The contract runs until Dec 2026 w' poss of extension to Dec 2028.
And, in any case, democracy is simply the rule of the majority
Narrator: there are no truly democratic countries. Capitalism killed democracy.
Not only is the catholic church full of paedophiles like many other institutions but it is set up like a criminal enterprise with each parish, diocese and order effectively legally insulated from every other. Morality is a command not a tenet for the Catholic Church
If someone tries to tell that the Catholic Church has some kind of moral authority bring this up
So if the ATO can reclaim assets sold to avoid tax why can’t the courts do so to the “Christian” Brothers
Christian Brothers sold real estate worth millions for $1. Now it claims in court it lacks money to pay abuse survivors www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Especially old white men. I am truly appalled to be part of that demographic but I refuse the slogan “not all men”
I’m not saying men are the problem but…. Yeah I am… men are the problem
