Excellent analysis #auspol

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?

Albanese's contempt for Australia's Pacific neighbours is staggering & deeply, deeply shameful #NorthWestShelfExtension

Call to Action: Object to the North West Shelf extension "provisional" approval* For those that have capacity to respond (make phone calls, send emails) in the coming days. Please share docs.google.com/document/d/1...

You are truly delusional @albomp.bsky.social if you think you were handed a large majority to do this People are sick to their stomach about this, for multiple reasons I'd wish that this haunts you into endless sleepless nights if I thought for a second you had a conscience. #auspol #Vandalism

⬇️⬇️⬇️ 💔💔💔 🤬🤬🤬 😭😭😭

Curse you for ever more @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social & Murray Watt. You have betrayed the Australian people & the planet, AGAIN! I can't even say I'm surprised, just unutterably disappointed. #auspol #ClimateCriminals www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Here we go. I don't have much to say about this one to encourage you to read, and the title will turn many of you away - and maybe it should - but I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't get this one out:

"The job of political leaders is to lead us, not walk behind us, to bring out the best in us, rather than pander to the worst in us." There are few in our current Parliament who could do this and the ones that could are, unsurprisingly, not found in the ranks of the ALP. #auspol

Add your name to the call to STOP the extension to the North West Shelf!✍️ nb.australiainstitute.org.au/reject_north...

I went further on the global Islamophobia context in the revised version of the piece on Zionist activity by front groups in the recent Australian election. The network of networks is illustrative. It’s not just Atlas in any of this rw weirdness but a collation. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

"Australian weapons components become weapons that turn Palestinian children into the components of Palestinian children." This sentence should be a knock-out blow to anyone with a shred of a conscience. #auspol #Gaza

‘QLD’s LNP govt is set to slash all state funding for the Environmental Defenders Office The decision breaches promise by the LNP to continue funding the body made prior to winning govt at 2024 state election’ What could we expect from a Newman 2.0 govt? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Me too. Excellent article.

They tell on themselves. #auspol #Secular #ReligiousFreedom

People need to remember what the Catholic Church is really about, and it isn't goodwill to all.

Well, it didn't take long for the new Pope to bare his bigotry. He's the perfect fit, after all.

In @thenewdaily.bsky.social today I argue that the things that Labor says stopped progressive reform in its last term are gone. No excuses. It’s time for a resurgent Albanese Government to do all the things it says it wants to do. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

The NACC appears to be rotten from the inside

If you're not following @lucyham.bsky.social you should be! Christian Nationalism is not going to stop in Australia just because of the election loss. There are too many psychological factors at play. It takes all of us to stop the march of the hard right

What a great initiative, producing multifaceted benefits.

This is such a poor half-imitation at the misogyny speech. We need a ban on the word mirror. A lot of people found Max Chandler-Mather tactless, but it wasn't "offensive" of him to ask the PM questions in QUESTION TIME, and it's blatantly false to suggest he stood in front of signs like Abbott did.

A brilliant must read by @lucyham.bsky.social 👇🏽

...sigh... #auspol

‘Labor spent the past 3 yrs pretending its hands were tied - on integrity, religious protectns, climate, sanctioning Israel, tax reform, poverty, inequality & housing because it didn’t have bipartisan support. It was bullshit then. It is even more so now.’ australiainstitute.org.au/post/austral...

This interview with @maxchandlermather.bsky.social gives an clear insight into how unbelievably impossible it is to be a @greens.org.au MP and how complicit the MSM is in running propaganda for the duopoly. This is why we can't have nice things. #auspol

PLEASE READ: its fossil money pushing both the corruption of govt, and demanding corrupt illiberal autocracies, that favour THEM, not us. Eg. Tony Abbott working to export Viktor Orban's corrupt & repressive model of govt,which bans wind and solar to Aust. epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/ind...

The gas industry said ‘keep going’. Anyone vaguely interested in the climate collapse and increased extreme weather events just read gas industry response to election. Very happy with Albo, highly critical of Greens. Fossil fuel industry won the election. #auspol

Disagree. There is no single "true" version of Christianity. It's in the interpretation of the adherent given scripture supports so many contradictory stances. religiondispatches.org/christian-na...

💯

That means you @albomp.bsky.social This election result was an outright repudiation of Trumpian politics, not an endorsement of your half-arsed, jelly-spined, unambitious, planet-burning effort. Can Australia actually grow up now, please? #auspol

Is it perverse of me to be very disappointed that Labor will be returned with a larger majority? I'm ecstatic that Dutton has lost his seat & the Libs have been beaten back, but why are we not more ambitious as a nation than barely mediocre & why are we locking ourselves into an inadequate duopoly?

I had not seen this. The use of the fundamentalist Christian sect as polling booth volunteers is reported by Nikki Sava to have come from Dutton's office. The Liberal party is tightly intertwined with regressive Christian ideology, another parallel with Trump #auspol #DontRiskDutton

The LNP supports indoctrination of its own choosing, championing doctrinal faith instruction in public schools, and spending millions on putting religious people in schools to do a role anyone can. The hypocrisy is immeasurable. #auspol bsky.app/profile/66ja...

This is a significant increase for an inherently discriminatory program, signaling again the Liberal's love of privileging religion, this time at the expense of student welfare; if you're not hiring on merit, you can't claim to prioritise student needs #auspol #ReligiousPrivilege #SecularGovernment

If you want #ReligiousFreedom for all - freedom *from* as well as of religion - don't bother with the duopoly who will always be beholden to the noisy minority of the faithful & ignore the growing non-religious cohort. Conservative Christian group Freedom 4 Faith says it's extracted this promise⬇️

Unsurprisingly, Liberals pledge to increase $ for school chaplains. They don't even use the current name of the program, so it's probably safe to assume they will remove the option to, heaven forbid, hire people on merit alone. #auspol www.liberal.org.au/policy/our-p...

In a letter today, we have raised concerns with the nation’s charities regulator, the ACNC, about election-related activities of religious charities that have received widespread media attention this week. Read more: rationalist.com.au/rsa-raises-c... #auspol

Commissioner of the Australian Charities & Not-for-Profits Commission, Sue Woodward, has said in a statement , "... should avoid any activity that could be perceived as being partisan” Thanks to @ausrationalist.bsky.social for their ongoing efforts. rationalist.com.au/rsa-raises-c... #auspol

The Rationalist Society always punches above its weight, highlighting & seeking to address religious privilege Religious privilege is harmful, as we already know via indirect imposition of Christian doctrine in Parliament, politics & publicly funded schools & hospitals. Get behind them! #auspol

"The poll came as Mr Dutton jetted in to Queensland... to sandbag his seat" But he wouldn't stick around to sandbag homes preparing for a cyclone. Typical, self-serving attitude from our own Trump fanboy. #DontRiskDutton #auspol

Buried in Liberal costings This is exactly why they don't release them with ample time for scrutiny. Dutton & his band of grifters are contemptuous of voters & deliberately withhold information from scrutiny #auspol #TemuTrump

[Chef's kiss] 💋 😅

What's going on is #TemuTrump is holding the voting public in the usual contempt he does and making stuff up again #auspol

1/7 There’s a hidden force attacking democracy worldwide.Not a nation.Not a party. A vast network of think tanks funded by billionaires & fossil fuel giants. It’s called the Atlas Network. And it’s quietly dismantling freedom. 🎥 youtu.be/reKQTQ2TWOE #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Add another link to the already long list of connections between the LNP and Trumpian political tactics & operatives. Dutton probably wears Trump emblazoned undies. #auspol #TemuTrump #DontRiskDutton
