Cashed up private schools buying up public roads from cash strapped local councils - that’s where we’re at in Australia with school funding. And those wealthy schools each take millions (yes millions) of public funding
Progressive. Peaceful. Pro- planet. Pushing back against right-wing nutjobs everywhere. NO DMs. Australian. Acquiescence and appeasement in the face of blatant aggression will not end well.

"thanks to another of the poisonous legacies of the ill-fated, yet damaging, Morrison govt, the fees to undertake a basic arts degree in the low-cost humanities have skyrocketed to $50,000." But worse is the Albanese govt's failure to act. As with #AUKUS, they are too comfortable with LNP poison.
It is massive. Thanks to Peter Deppeler on Twitter for the footage. #GazaGenocide #MarchForHumanity
Potentially +100 K marching in terrible weather - approx 4% of Sydney’s population - and our politicians are mute!! #auspol youtu.be/ilZaBQteZJs?...
Tens of thousands walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of a pro-Palestinian protest. Surely this shows the will of the people to our politicians? Or is it Antisemitism again? #auspol #freepalestine #stopwar
Reminder: If you hear anyone claiming the #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza March across the Sydney Harbour Bridge today in support of Palestine is somehow anti-Semitic,the Jewish Council of Australia supports it. 👇 And here's their full media release: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/08/medi...
Let the yanks pay for and build their own housing ‼️ #auspol #DumpAUKUS
Barbaric.
Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
Can we just stick with Aussie beach culture? Private areas on beaches/ private beaches overseas are not something to aspire to - un-Australian!
The sheer hypocrisy and audacity of AUS Govt's @senatorwong.bsky.social claiming "freedom of expression and assembly are essential to our democracy" while our Australian state & federal govts have introduced laws curtailing protest freedoms is genuinely insulting. 😠 #auspol #nswpol #protest

I. Can. Not. This women was charged because she perjured herself — not once, but twice in 2016. While under oath. UNDER OATH. www.wptv.com/news/epstein...
Truly pathetic given they are not censuring One Nation members for turning their back on the Welcome to Country.

This part can’t be repeated enough. Does anyone actually think this was a coincidence?
Hey Jake Tapper, fodder for your next book!👇
@albomp.bsky.social This is propaganda masking a genocide the IDF are childkillers an illegal occupation carrying out orders from a wanted international war criminal Netanyahu Mileikowsky. If you were any sort of leader you would condemn the Murdoch media georgehazim.substack.com/p/murdoch-jo...
The Advance donation was dated 27 June 2024. Segal was announced ASECA on 9 July 2024. However, FOI indicates there was a fair bit of movement before 9 July 2024 in relation to her appointment......and all docs were exempted from FOI.
Hi ABC did you not think it relevant to disclose Daniel Principe is from Christian right censorship lobby 'Collective Shout' run by Melinda Tankard-Reist, known for astroturfing & hiding their links to homophobic, transphobic & anti-abortion groups? #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...
Um, the money to Advance was paid, according to documents and info to hand, by her AND her husband's trust fund. Their (plural) Trust Fund, so she doesn't get to separate herself now. I guess all those independent (non MSM) qualified journalists asking questions ... better say something, fast.
No sign yet that mainstream media have picked up on Jillian Segal's far-right connections #auspol theklaxon.com.au/jil...
Exactly. Segal can't distance herself from Advance. She needs to resign. Albanese's office should be drafting her resignation letter in 3,2,1...
If I understand correctly she wants to police the media, have power to defund universities/the arts and deport migrants, but she has no influence over her own husband.
Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
Ch9, ch7, ch10, the ABC - if I watch your news on TV this evening am I going to again be subjected to Netanyahu - a war criminal - lecturing me? Am I going to be subjected to a moral scolding by Australian political leaders who have not one stood up and condemned GENOCIDE?
Of course the mainstream media platforms genocidal war criminal Netanyahu lecturing Australia about hate crimes. And forgets to mention that the Israeli PM is subject to an #ICC arrest warrant for crimes against humanity. #hypocrisy #StopIsrael www.afr.com/politics/fed...
Pourquoi?
Cages with no sanitation? Access to water? Absolutely appalling. Shame on all who support Trump and the GOP.
Don't forget his friend Bibi is also trying to stay out of jail.
Dear @abcnews We viewers will not give up on our belief that contextual disclosure is your DUTY!! ABC and others fail to mention close AUKUS connection of Sinodinos and Fitzgibbon www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/26/a...
The fact the pro-Israel lobby behind Antoinette Lattouf's sacking is being suppressed for 10yrs proves: They're high profile Probably business/govt/community/faith leaders/ professionals Their reputation & income would be damaged if their identity were known 🐝 #auspol

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement
Following Israel's carrying out of an unprovoked act of war against Iran, the Jewish Council of Australia has a clear message for you, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social. Listen up—
🎯 Rex Patrick. The really significant news for Australia is not that the US is reviewing the highly dodgy and poorly planned #AUKUS agreement. But that the Albanese government is not. #auspol
ABC insists on calling on Joe Hockey for his 'expertise' on #AUKUS. They identify him as former ambassador to the US. But fail to note that he is a current lobbyist for weapons companies in the US and Australia. aka conflict of interest. #ThisIsNotJournalism #auspol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
Why on earth would we want to keep AUKUS?? The further we can get away from the US - which is clearly a failed state - the better. Extraordinary that this isn't part of the commentary #auspol
I find it extraordinary that both the UK and the US have announced inquiries into #AUKUS and their ability to deliver it and the impact on their capability. Yet Australia, the only nation that is paying doesn’t have an inquiry into this undeliverable, woefully governed expensive program. #auspol
We don't need a review. Just put any documents in the shredder and drop Trump an email to confirm it's over. #auspol #aukus
Deliberate
THREAD: 1. The legal profession’s rehabilitation of the reputation of former High Court Justice, Dyson Heydon continues. At a conference of the Samuel Griffiths Society in August, Mr Heydon is on the speakers’ list, along with former Commonwealth Attorney-General, Christian Porter. #Auspol #Law

Nothing new from the Liberals then - still dividing us.
Venality on display. Who does she think she would impress viz her 'character' and mothering ?
Watching your resistance from Australia and applaud you for your decency and courage and ability to inspire others to take on the appalling regime that is in power.
A proposal to make DV a standalone offence which obtained just under 50k signatures was REJECTED by the QLD LNP. QLD LNP currently hve a “promo” running abt bullying & safety in QLD but they reject this? This tells me the LNP are more abt optics & spin rather than action re the safety of women.
Here’s some stats for numpties who say that Welcome to Country ceremonies are a waste of money.. “Lib Party gave more $$ to anti-Welcome to Country hate group “Advance” last financial year than Fed Govt spent on the Indigenous ceremonies over its entire 3-year term” theklaxon.com.au/liberals-giv...

Wonder if MSM journalists will join the dots? #auspol
"Hate media". Dutton refusing to be accountable ... and aping Trump yet again.
The Age and other media calling ‘Women Will Speak’ a ‘women’s rights group’ is absurd. They formed solely to oppose the rights of trans & non-binary people. They have nothing else to say about women or rights. The vast majority of us are only toilet-obsessed when we need a wee.
By calling the ABC and The Guardian ‘hate media’ - Dutton has actually gone further than Trump’s ‘fake news’. Dutton has out Trump’d Trump!! #auspol #DontRiskDutton #TemuTrump
So sad. She was a woman of great courage.
Love these.
Stupid. Venal. Vicious. Privileged. Criminal.
Criminal
Is any journalist going to mention that when Dutton talks about "young Australians" he never mentions education. Ever. The man has no vision for an intelligent, engaged, educated Australia. He appeals to anger, fear, division and ignorance. #auspol #AusVotes25 #education
He is insane, pathological liar.
I can't imagine what prolonged contact with this deranged, pathological liar is like.
Hundreds of thousands of working Australians will be getting penalty rates when working over Easter. The bosses are trying to remove them. Labor has just committed to changing the law to protect them forever.
Not really an apology.
The stupidity is astounding.
If we had robust political journalism in Australia, The next question Dutton would be asked would be about the Coalition’s links with Advance. That’s if we had robust political journalism…. #ausvotes #auspol
Zionist?
Wow - power to resistance. Watching the implosion in real time is stomach churning.

"Australia may not be as far down the road of dismantling democracy as US but in both countries conservative think-tanks have gained more and more policy influence on right wing parties." @davidhardaker.bsky.social Minor quibble:- not "conservative"; hard right. thepolitics.com.au/the-think-ta...
Do Australians who worship Trump….want to burn Australia down the way he is burning America down??
What do we have here #auspol25 - children overboard - Howard - two illegal boats off the coast - Morrison - Russian aircraft based in Indonesia - Dutton Will the LNP ever learn ? NO www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
CORRECTION: #ABC radio - It was the LNP government that racked up $1.2 trillion $$$ debt. Jim Chalmers has been able to get the budget "back in black" remember pearly Jane an her mug ? It's now only gone into a deficit as JE Chalmers is now concentrating on re-building the country. #auspol25
No effing way!
there is one very small specific group of young people who are not locked out from buying houses so of course the Liberal Party puts up a member of that tiny elite group to talk about everyone who is actually impoverished and made housing insecure by landlords like his daddy.
Analysts noted the housing 'policy' announcements from Labor and LNP will likely raise house prices. But few are saying the obvious: until Australia taxes and redistributes wealth properly, we risk going down the UK [or even US] route to greater #inequality. Which emboldens the far right. #auspol
It is outrageous.
You couldn't make this up. Murdoch's mob organised, hosted and broadcast the debate yet now they are questioning the independence of the audience they chose after their favoured candidate lost. It's f*cking hilarious!! #auspol www.theage.com.au/business/com...

Similar right wing playbook here with our would be PM Dutton.
Keep posting
This is how media entities have “polled” on the recent fokwittery proclaiming Crisafullashyte as “Australia’s most popular leader” They generate a “poll” under the banners of various online media sources linked to the Courier Fail on the cooked FB platform.. ..& voila! Instant fake popularity
Chris Kenny -Chief bumbledorf of RW lunacy - says that young social media influencers are dumbing down the election 🙄 Bullshyte These young ppl are informing & influencing other young ppl & Kenny is trying to discredit them bec they are having more of an impact than the misinformation of RW media
Fully fund public education and keep politicians and religion out of the curriculum.

I understand and admire the independents. A functioning MSM would help. I can afford a couple of paywalls. However, so many I talk to simply can't afford. Could public libraries ( at least here in Australia) have some sort of institutional arrangement?
FRANCE: Put the felon in prison and bar them from running for president. UNITED STATES: Elect the felon president.
Stop parroting fascists and dictators. She was guilty. Lazy journalism. More detail on the judgement and comments from French judiciary. You may as well quote the Proud Boys . Perhaps ask US citizens how they feel about a felon and impeached president trashing democracy
Three years ago AU was in the corrupt mess of the LNP Scott Morrison Christian fascist years. Are we better off than we were three years ago? Too bloody right we are. thepolitics.com.au/god-help-us-... Do you want to go back there? Back on the LNP track? If you don't know, vote NO.
Oh, and paywalls with many small independent media outlets.
Same situation with Australian mainstream media. So pathetically right wing and selective. Also, there is very little international coverage. Being informed here is exhausting. Sky Fox and Murdoch rags rule and tv channels owned and / or run by conservatives and people who are avowedly right wing.
