There's a fundraiser currently up, run by the inimitable @instanterudite.bsky.social for Richard Boyle & Louise. After many years of persecution by the ATO over his whistleblowing on their debt collection practices, the ordeal is over He's been to hell and back www.gofundme.com/f/whistleblo...
I do the same for my big brother. He loved Indian food. The spicier the better. So every year on his birthday, itās curry and a red wine toast ā¤ļø
Are you coming to Australia Rory? āļø Bit of a long trek for a weekend! š¤·āāļø
My dad was a police officer. No one should ever go to work and not come home to their families because someone decided they didnāt deserve to live. My heart breaks for their families. Itās just awful š
Nooooooā¦ā¦.thats disgraceful!
Itās fabulous. Enjoy
I bet he was soooo happy to see you Ian
I just came here to say the same thing š¤£
Sunshine Coast peeps! This is a wonderful community event. 4Paws is 100% volunteer run. All funds raised go directly to help animals in their care. So many happy faces & wagging tails is good for the soul. Please come along š #sunshinecoast #animalwelfare #rescuedogs #kawanaisland #4pawsanimalrescue

Itās always a good time for a cheeky rose. What more do you need really! Sublime
You know, if you find the blowing up of hospitals and the innocents within abhorrent, maybe you shouldnāt spend years blowing up hospitals and the innocents within. And to be absolutely clear, stop blowing up hospitals whichever side youāre on, or youāre a cunt.
Iām so very sorry. Itās utterly heartbreaking losing our furry family members. Piper had a wonderful life with you though and thatās all you can ask for ā¤ļø
Thatās awesome Ian
Newsom: I told the president, just get it over with. Arrest me. Move on. If you need someoneās head to scalp, then do it with me. But stop messing with these kids. Stop messing with four-year-olds. Kids in elementary school
If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?
āThat any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissistsāand that they both individually wield such massive powerāis an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.ā Robert Reich
Ohhhhhā¦ā¦myā¦.
The foolish rationale for spending $368B on #AUKUS subs is to support the US in war with China over Taiwan. The US says this could happen in 2027. We wonāt get US subs until at least 2032; if ever. AUKUS is strategic folly at every level. But donāt expect anyone to admit that. #auspol
Straight to the pool Room Ian!
what an injustice, a whistle blower is in jail and a war criminal is walking around as free as a bird...some legislative overhaul is desperately needed... www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
lolā¦..exactly what I was thinking. I hear that music and it takes me straight back there
The Govt has approved one of the biggest fossil fuel projects in our history The NW Shelf Extension threatens to destroy 47,000 yr old petroglyphs & will drive more extreme bushfires, droughts & floods. This isnāt leadership- itās a betrayal of our future www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8979259/
Same! Palaexia just made me feel really blah and went all red.wasnāt effective for pain.
I think I need to do that. Canāt take any kind of opioids or many of the others donāt work. Thanks for the info
The persecution of Richard Boyle is wrong on so many levels. Coming up to 9 years of Richard and Louise lives being placed on hold while the federal govt continues to drag this out. Richardās crime? Telling the truth!
Oh ā¦ā¦dearā¦ā¦.

Not sure there has been a more irrelevant interview than 730 interviewing Bridget McKenzie
At risk of being rude, have others noticed the extreme irony of the National Party (self declared āfriend of farmersā) breaking up the coalition because they oppose Net Zero while Australia languishes under extreme floods in NSW and extreme drought everywhere else? No? Just me, then?
Wrote about this being a strong possibility and yup - the Nationals have had a massive dummy spit and broken up the Coalition. Marching both parties even closer to obscurity. Absolutely amazing.
Did James McGrath stick his finger in a power socket before doing this #abc730 interview?
Awwww my heart ā¤ļø

BREAKING: Jacinta āname yourā Price quits Liberals, joins Greens and nominates for leader of the party. āMy loyalty to the Greens is unquestionable. Unless theyāve already elected a new leaderā¦ā Film at eleven. #serialGrifter #JacintaNameYourPrice #auspol
NDIS set to cost $90B a year by 2030. Second only to the aged pension in federal spending. Is it sustainable? Not if we keep pretending billionaires need tax breaks more than disabled people need support. Taxing billionaires should be less controversial than helping disabled people live with dignity
This. OMG finally. Congrats to the brave whistleblowers and victim-survivors who have come forward. It's been many years coming. First of many alleged perpetrators to face justice, hopefully. www.themercury.com.au/news/tasmani...

Yet again, we get the obligatory "Climate 200-backed..." when referring to a community independent candidate. But when is their reference to a Liberal as "mining industry-backed" or "Gina Rinehart-funded"? ABC news fails to declare their status quo bias. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
How you treat the most vulnerable in society is how you should be judged. And governments and societies that treat the most vulnerable with abuse never stop with that one group. I mean FFS. Read the f*cking poem again.
How the hell did this happen?
Holy fuck. After TWO losses, they are still refusing to acknowledge that the reason Australians are not voting for them is them. They are the agents of their own downfall. Throwing out Morrison was not a mistake. We are not the ones who needed to get āback on trackā. They have learned NOTHING.
If Labor was smart, they'd: ā¢ ignore the pro-LNP media (esp. NewsCorp). They don't represent the views of most Australians. ā¢ be principled. Take real action to address climate, housing, education, healthcare. ā¢ This will shore up support among informed young voters for 2028. #auspol #AusVotes25
I was genuinely concerned the last couple months. Thank goodness we didnāt go there
Just a reminder that we need truth in media laws, and truth in political advertising laws, Australia. #Australia #auspol #media #politics
And with her massive daily platform on the truly revolting SkyNews; The Australian newspaper and recent Australian Story puff piece she has completely controlled the narrative on Indigenous issues enabled by the media portraying her as some kind of saviour to Aboriginal people. Pls stop now
Jacinta Price says a lot of mud has been slung in the election campaign, reinforced by media. So attacking Indigenous ppl 24/7 as being inherently violent; fraudulently using tax payers money Ā¬ able to understand their own vote-thatās not mud slinging? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
My take on last nightās extraordinary result www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...
While I personally was hoping for a minority Labor government, I hope this overwhelming majority gives the government the courage to make the brave decisions that Australia needs right now. #Auspol #BinNight. šš¤š¦š³ļø
Wow Jacinta Price talking about slinging mud.
I have now developed a jaw-ache and a desire to hit my head into a wall after listening to Jacinta Einstein Price's voice for the past 5 minutes on ABC It should be recorded and used as one of those whistle attack repellants #ausvotes25
Oh lordy, Jacinta Price. What a fiasco. Just a melange of slogans. Literally saying Aboriginal people should be heard after helping to defeat The Voice.
Everyone: Wow, Labor! James McGrath: #ausvotes2025
Jacinta Price on ABCā¦ā¦seriously? #BinNight
Thank you! I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that.
PETER DUTTON HAS LOST HIS SEAT IN PARLIAMENT!! YESSS!! HE'S GONE, HE'S GONE. #AusVotes2025

Is James McGrath on crack? Most of the LNP policies were out weeks ago???
We can always hope Ronni
A couple of months ago, I was feeling pretty pessimistic. What a very different story weāre seeing so far tonight š¤
Hi BlueSky auspollers If you want to meet and greet, comment about the mood, scream, post a pet pic or vent about the running election night coverage - please post below Join in, meet a few people or have an adult beverage Let's get this party started Here's our #BinNight mega-thread
Yes!
Swing baby swing #BinNight
Oh be still my beating heart. Look at that swing in Dickson. #BinNight
Thatās so adorable
Thatās fabulous

Alternate headline - Donāt fuck it up If Labor doesnāt do something with power this time round (assuming the polls and vibe are right) to materially change peopleās lives for the better, they risk consigning themselves to irrelevancy www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
I noticed that on a few how to vote pamphlets actually. Itās pretty bad
Here's @ronnisalt.bsky.social! 'Is it over yet?' Ronni and me with words on the same day. Michael earlier this week. Jo kicking butt on The Sunday Shot every week. John and Joel with ace contributions. Everyone around The Shot really put in through this shitshow of an election, you guys ruleš
Yes please š„
A beautiful explanation from Tagalaka and Gumatj man Conor Bowdenn of what Welcome to Country actually is. Watch and share widely (and for more follow Conor on Insta at @conorbowdenn).
I cannot believe I still have to say this, but if you are holding a conference about care and support, with no actual disabled people as key speakers or setting the agenda, then you don't give a toss about actual care or support www.eventbrite.com/e/national-c...
Serious concerns about Commissioner Breretonās impartiality are growing & still, not a single public hearing from the NACC. To restore trust, we need new leadership at the top & public hearings where itās in the public interest. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
Terribly sad. I feel for her kids and family

A surgeon?!! JFC. āGreg Malham ā an adjunct professor at Swinburne University who specialises in spine surgery and has worked at hospitals including Epworth Richmond ā told The Age āit was a silly thing to doā. āIt was intended as a joke, but I recognise how bad it looks,ā he said.
Itās a great read. Enjoy
Why don't we have enough women in politics? #AusVotes25
I bet his mother is so very proudā¦.
Lots of talk about preferencing. Follow the simple rule: number every box and make sure you put all the racists last (there are a lot of them so it could take a while, but democracy takes effort).
This is absolutely horrific
Indigenous communities were devastated because the Voice was defeated, Mr Dutton, and they and we know it was defeated because of your malicious, dishonest campaign.
Thatās very therapeutic to watch
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, āgetsā how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HEāS A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross
