"I don't know of a single MP that I've spoken to...who hasn't received some sort of violent threat. "But the threats that I hear [about] from women are particularly personal. "They are completely dehumanising & they come all the time." - @amyremeikis.bsky.social 🎧 theaus.in/4kdbNut

I just watched the David Pocock address at the NPC. How much better Australia would be with more people like him in parliament. Empathy, intelligence, honesty, commitment, transparency, integrity. The polar opposite of my local member - Barnaby fucking Joyce. Sigh! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsd5...

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: ASIO no. 2 is being rushed through parliament this week. This is the bill that allows warrantless questioning by ASIO, without a lawyer, and you can't tell a soul without being sent to prison. Share this widely and make some noise.

"The PM is right that we should turn the temperature down, and that starts with parliament. That means not calling for people to be stoned in the square, or making fun of a female politician's health issues." - Andrew Wilkie on the attack on Helen Haines. #auspol

Words matter. Not only on social media but in the way MSM platforms idiots to spew their discrimination. The media can’t play the sympathetic soul when it comes to the shocking Helen Haines attack & then promote the behaviour of the haters. Some people respond to the prompts & act accordingly.

The erasure.

"Tell Albo to make deep fakes in political advertising illegal - before we're all drowning in bullshit".💥🎯💯👏👏👏 #auspol

For all those concerned that One Nation's Facebook bots may have been affected by the Russian data centre hit, rest easy. The majority of Poorleen's bots are run out of Indonesia.

Murdochs hard right News Corp has racked up a decade of paying ZERO tax while blaming the poor, migrants and Indigenous Australians for our economic woes. Don’t fall for the bullshit fed to you by billionaire media moguls. “Truth Lies&Media” is live!⚡️ Promo Match Frame Editing #auspol #NewsCorpse

While I applaud the government for stopping to credit card surcharges, since stores can't openly show them now, a local shop has simply increased their prices by 20 cents. The govt should have banned the banks from charging the merchants a fee. Fuck the banks! They are profitable enough.

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer. She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide. The least we can do is to listen.

Diesel in town today $2.99 per litre. Time to start looking at an EV in earnest, because that price isn't coming down anytime soon. If anything it will get higher. All thanks to the orange fuckwit in the US.

Think about it. The insane cost of fuel is principally because two narcissistic arseholes are desperate to avoid going to jail. One starts wars and kills innocent children to delay a corruption trial. The other starts wars to distract attention away from his participation in a paedophile ring.

We need to do our part to act on climate change, says the man whose government keeps approving more and more coal mines, expanding and exporting even more gas, and inviting parasitic data centres to bleed dry our grid and water. The hypocrisy is jaw-dropping. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

FMD! Now the Qld govt has approved Anthropic to build a massive $31 BIL data centre in Western Qld running on coal seam gas. Techbros and the fucking gas industry really do run this entire country, don't they? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Skimmed an article about a UK TV show called Apocalypse, where morons try to survive in a post-Apocalyptic world, and I couldn't help thinking that this is a foretaste of what life would be like in Australia if One Nation ever got into power. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

"People are really mad and however mad you are, it’s not enough. Because there is something so profound about no longer believing in the future, about seeing no value in our shared home, in the natural world. They’re traitors to creation.” www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.” GEORGE CARLIN LIFE IS WORTH LOSING (2005) My joint favourite Stand-Up of all time (along with Richard Pryor).

This article is both compelling and terrifying. We are sleepwalking our way into a dystopian climate nightmare fuelled by greedy capitalists, neoliberalism, corrupted governments, and a public whose ignorance and apathy leaves them susceptible to easy manipulation.

Nick McKim has torched Matt Canavan & Angus Taylor for their misogyny, ‘fueling the toxic manosphere”, ‘blaming women’ & making claims of ‘femisation of schools’ “What does that even mean?” “Real men don’t blame women when life gets tough.”💥💯

I recall a time, not that long ago, when ministers were stood down, resigned or were removed from their role for failures, scandals and disasters far less damaging than this. At what point did ministerial responsibility vanish?

AI is literally the old Disney Sorcerer's Apprentice cartoon, where he naively animates a broom to complete his tedious tasks, and it cascades out of control. Except this time, the techbros aren't naive, they have sinister motives, and there is no all-powerful sorcerer to intervene and save us.

The US is now officially a theocratic kakistocracy, run by delusional lunatics that are part of a death cult that fully intends to destroy the world. Australia needs to urgently to detach ourselves from this insanity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"What I've seen so far is that by putting all of our money into AUKUS, we've drained capability from our other defensive strategies" - co-CEO Leanne Minshull at the AUKUS Public Inquiry in Canberra today #auspol @leanneminshull.bsky.social

Pretty much explains it all. www.youtube.com/shorts/vsw-8...

Cathy Wilcox with some anti-Zionist parting shots on her way out the door ... 🍉 Nothing to lose, so why not? #GazaGenocide #auspol

What a shit of a fucking week it has been. First it was the phenomenal Dolly was taken from us. Now the always electric Tim Curry. Any chance we could round-out the week on a high note and take-out the 80 year old orange paedophile?

Cathy Wilcox on theme

This is why Dolly Parton will be remembered and loved ❤️📚

One Nation's Malcolm Roberts reckons gay people shouldn't be equal. Well, I know I'd rather hangout with gay people than short, bigoted, ignorant, right-wing, religious, climate-denying, cooker arseholes. Here's one for you Mal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8UV... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sick. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Denise’s Desk: Just how many feet can one man fit in his mouth? Denise says another week of Barnaby Joyce headlines raises a more important question for New England: amid all the noise, where is the representation?

Chris "Mossad" Minns the Zionist puppet strikes again. michaelwest.com.au/an-armed-jew...

bookmarking to say that if Minns lets this happen the armed guards will at some point injure and kill locals and call it self-defence. This is something colonisers invariably do. Our politicians are actively importing an additional form of colonialism.

This is the kind of shit rural communities are up against. Tiny but incredibly active FB groups running a campaign against renewables and transmission line projects.Spreading misinformation and lies, stirring-up rumours of crime and "fear of foreigners". reneweconomy.com.au/they-are-not...

Tell me again how the ALP are the lesser of two evils?

Uninvited. My @smh and @theage cartoon.
