Hoping that Senator Hanson will "have a think"...? Seems unlikely Pauline will start thinking anytime soon. How about laying charges for inciting hatred instead? #AusPol

Doctors can gauge the President of the United States' bowel health by the length of his late night social media posts. #MAGA #MyAssGeyserAgain

2nd anniversary of that time my local MP told me "do some research" about the risk of siting a nuclear reactor in Gladstone. I shared the research with him. But he remained impervious to the facts which ran counter to the LNP's agenda. He lost his seat is now a real estate agent. #AusPol

Christo fascist Amanda Stoker continues to fail upwards, as Liberal Party loyalists do. QLD's govt has just appointed her to its front bench after parachuting her into a safe seat last election. Stoker failed multiple previous election attempts - not a setback for LNP ultra rightwingers. #AusPol

I believe Pauline Hanson, rightwing politicians and commentators are promoting Ben Roberts-Smith to strengthen his legal defence. His lawyers will claim publicity of the charges is so widespread and prejudicial it's impossible for him to receive a fair trial. Motion to dismiss will follow. #AusPol

Heads up: the LNP plans to sell off the Bureau of Meteorology. The LNP's QLD Senator is casting shade on the BOM to set up the case for the selloff, likely prompted by corporate weather service donors. AU politics is increasingly like the USA's, servicing donors instead of citizens. #AusPol

@AlboMP You are wrong to blame only social media when tragedy strikes In 2020, 500K Aussies & 2 x PMs signed a petition for a media royal commission You chose to ignore that when you became PM That choice led directly to the rise of One Nation & a divided nation 🐝 #auspol

I wrote this song with #NoKings in mind. 🎵Posing at the podium Façade and flags arrayed Empty suit of a leader A nation he’s betrayed And the virtue’s just a signal A performative charade🎵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCh5... #VoteBlue

🎵A lifelong politician, a private dining suite. The lobbyist’s suggestion: there’s someone he should meet The voters’ whims are fickle, elections always near. Open to suggestions, post politics career.🎵 My new song is about dodgy dealings that affect us all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZWt... #AusPol

There's a concerted push by Josh Frydenberg's backers to install him as Liberal Party leader. However, Frydenberg was a DISASTROUS Treasurer. He added more than a third of Australia's current national debt with little to show for it. Don't let him wreck our economy again. #GiveJoshTheKibosh #AusPol

Can't be long 'til the next #LibSpilll, surely? It should be obvious even to the remaining Liberal Party dullards that their current "slogan bogan in a suit" isn't up to the task of rebuilding them into a viable alternative government. #AusPol

"Guy who docks his workers' pay for lengthy toilet breaks, illegally forces pregnant workers onto unpaid leave, and fires workers who protest unsafe working conditions, promises bright future for workers if we just let him make another trillion dollars." #maga #bezos

Pauline Hanson's daughter is butthurt that her local cafe - owned by a gay, indigenous-descended, trans-inclusive, pro-multicultural person - expressed distaste about serving her and other One Nation staff. Ironic that PHON become so intolerant when they're begrudgingly tolerated by others. #AusPol

I am issuing an executive order that Artificial Sweetener be renamed "Super Sweetener". #trump #maga #25thamendment

A Mango Mussolini with an Appletini Appeaser. Albo is developing a tin ear to rival Tony Abbott. #AusPol

The utter wankiness of pre-match promo packages on Channel 9 has reached epic levels of comedy. The writers must piss themselves laughing finding new ways to make football matches sound like they rival the conclusion to The Odyssey. #nrl

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

"You will be one with the Zuckerborg". His company Meta (owners of Facebook & Instagram) seized the band #Muse's Instagram account for its AI. Despite the band holding 13 US trademarks over its name, including Class 9 (software), first use 1993. 30 years & 2.7M followers stolen in an INSTAnt.

Nothing like a low-level flyover to (checks notes) commemorate planes being flown into the Twin Towers. 😕

The Prime Minister is right. Our ABC should ALSO have mentioned that the Prime Minster ALSO remains President of the Australian Parliament Sports Club, which is sponsored by lobby groups such as that of the gambling industry. #AusPol

Our latest Honest Government Ad is now also on YouTube. This extended version includes the insane story of California's forest offset program, which set aside 6M offset credits to compensate for a century of wildires for the next 100 years. And wildfires torched 11M offset credits in just 1 decade

As we have recently witnessed in the Middle East: a nation doesn't need to formally declare itself "in" a war to find itself targeted & attacked. Fact is: every Aus military facility that hosts or supplies US Forces is now considered a valid military target by countries opposed to the US. #AusPol

The Sydney Morning Herald's James Massola is still simping for The Frydenburglar. Heaven help the national accounts if Josh ever gets his snout in the public trough again. #AusPol

ICYMI- My #climate cartoon for @thepointau.bsky.social

The Supreme Court has ruled that the high-profile married man at the centre of a notorious “I’m not saying who it is even though everyone knows who it is” scandal cannot be named, so QLDers must continue to pretend to feign ignorance of who that man might be. #AusPol #parody #streisandeffect

An artist in the Reddit songwriters' forum just accused one of my original songs of being AI-generated. It's not. I personally recorded the song and created its video using footage licensed from a video library. So now I'm collateral damage in the #AIMusic backlash.😕 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewww...

FFS Australia - WAKE UP! These opportunistic grievance farmers represent billionaires intent on strip mining Australia's national wealth - not you. #AusPol

Shameful shilling from a Coalition putting profit for their sponsors ahead of the national interest. Both independent authorities Oz relies on - CSIRO & AEMO - found renewables+storage+grid will cost roughly half that of a nuclear-based approach per unit of delivered electricity. #AusPol

Qantas's profits are down 19.7% this year. But fear not, the Board has awarded itself a massive PAY RISE of 17%! This is largely the same Board which enabled/rewarded Alan Joyce's pillage of the brand and approved 2-year pay FREEZES for working pilots, crews and engineers. Shameless. #AusPol

Today I heard an AI-generated song on the radio. The composer had clearly made only a token effort. #AI

I wonder how Pauline Hanson's backers - from billionaires to bogans - feel about her spending their money on High Court challenges seeking, in effect, "the right to be racist"? #AusPol

Conservative forces have been gaslighting up a storm today about "Labor's Trillion Dollar Debt". But here are the facts about who actually racked up how much of that debt. More important, the orange line shows the debt relative to the overall size of the economy. Feel welcome to share. #AusPol

Jason Virgo, One Neuron's Member in the SA Parliament, says "the future is nuclear". Printing out a letter, photographing it, and posting the photo on social media is about as "futuristic" as the coal-powered, planet-destroying present he's trying to preserve for his mining masters. #AusPol

Angus Taylor doesn't seem to understand the difference between GOALS and a PLAN. #AusPol

Today's cartoon by Dennis Goris:

#BREAKING: Jillian Segal recommends adding 7th star to the Australian flag, and the National Anthem to be re-titled "ADVANCE Australisaelia". #AusPol #satire

Trump has announced yet another peace deal. It must be Friday. I trust you all sold your oil futures again last night in anticipation of this totally expected piece of market manipulation. Remember to buy some more on Monday when it turns out there's no actual deal. Again.
