Another of Labor’s CLIMATE MACHINES Unregulated Profit above everything else Left to pump methane into the atmosphere - the most potent climate warming gas - to fuel accelerating climatic catastrophe 24 hours, 7 days a week In Laborland there are no consequences www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The police are caught often, having to separate differing views and its easy to depict them as hostile I think we should frame the question as, what would society look like without police We could start by asking those people experiencing home invasions because their experiences give us an answer

A majority vote for Labor delivers these values, a direct complicity in GENOCIDE in Gaza A silent majority, because who's going to tell us they voted for Labor and a duopoly that attaches these values to this country and all of us? A thoughtless vote - perhaps a malicious vote - but one that kills

Gekko (@gekko.bsky.social) reply parent
We all know the game being played ... what we need to do is pressure our government to ACT and stand up for international "rule of law" but Labor only has tepid words And as governments allow that to happen they normalise GENOCIDE We can't allow that to happen without consequences

I think all of us as Australians need to think very carefully about what we have as a country, our diversity, our strengths and our freedoms It is we who put politicians in place - we can't then blame them for all their shortcomings. We share the blame The duopoly is our greatest danger
Gekko (@gekko.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes - and we can only barely cope with one GENOCIDE at a time and only with tepid words Not even tepid words for Sudan

Wow Tony! Have you looked at your hands lately ... why are they so bloody? -> ethnic cleansing based on collective punishment -> complicity in war crimes, crimes against humanity and GENOCIDE And you went there, with Amerika and Israel www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
Gekko (@gekko.bsky.social)
Skip the GENOCIDE part - Amerika and Israel are onto Phase II - REAL ESTATE The modern way to cover up GENOCIDE is to plow the bones deep into building foundations and invite investors to be complicit Meanwhile, in Gaza GENOCIDE continues Labor quiet/no action www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Conman who destroyed all decency and trust in our society as he used Australia's largesse to jet around the world grifting his way to the OECD, wants to warn us about global trade That's after the LNP IPA nearly destroyed our foreign trade with our biggest trading partner and betrayed this country
Gekko (@gekko.bsky.social)
Perhaps the questions about a growing dysfunction in our society should begin right here We can look to Parliament and see what they are going to do about this - and where some of this deep dysfunction is coming from
Gekko (@gekko.bsky.social)
Something deeply disturbing in our society when people actively work against the police to capture someone who has murdered two policemen and doesn't recognise society We're showing deep signs that as a society we are beginning to fragment and decay from within These are questions for all of us
Gekko (@gekko.bsky.social)
I've said here the duopoly has completely destroyed both our foreign and defence policies Our foreign policy - who are we if we cannot, indeed refuse, to speak up about GENOCIDE in Gaza (and Sudan)? Nor are we actively helping Ukraine The duopoly firmly inside the Amerikan orbit, Labor retreating

"Flipping the script" might mean "migrants" who have been here for some time, raised families, paid taxes and are part of our community, stand up and fight back against fascist calls for reform Most Australians love multiculturalism and understand that without immigration we would not be a country

The only government response for storms, rising seas, rising temperatures I've seen are Labor's climate machines The government continues to build more and more climate machines to pump out more and more emissions into the atmosphere! Unlike European countries that send emergency survival booklets
Gekko (@gekko.bsky.social)
Another day, further sullen silence from Australia and the West and further bloodshed in Israel's GENOCIDE I imagine by now Labor has workshopped their response to a silent Gaza, the total GENOCIDE, the dead. It tells you what they would do to others, to us, and allow again Labor's "rule of law"
