“We desperately need public investment in core parts of our economy. In renewables, storage, electrification. And we need no new coal and gas. That is the basic minimum” - Australian Greens Leader David Shoebridge speaking at the National Press Club today.

“We’d tax gas exports to raise an extra $17 billion a year, because of course we should" Senator David Shoebridge told the Press Club. Read the full piece on The Point: https://sbrew.link/uSsOkRyk

Albanese trying to dodge questions about the dirt sheet he compiled on Helen Haines is surely the grubbiest example of this hypocrisy. It turns my stomach and has obliterated any respect I had for him forever. #Auspol www.deepcutnews.com/p/politician...

Business Councils (like Advertising Councils) are the last century’s functional Sith Lords. Their members were part of setting up Atlas Network think tanks for propaganda at a remove. The fewer rights, protections, you have the better. The worse your pay, the better. #Auspol #SpringSt

Doug Cameron:”In my view it is now clear that AUKUS is about militarising Australia in interests of the US, ensuring the grifters in defence and the arms industry are well fed. It is an act of self-harm and madness on the part of the Australian government.” pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

This chart about data center construction blew my mind. Watch.

This is a great episode from @janfran.bsky.social , pulling apart the PM’s “turning the temperature down” bullshit while we are gaslit about who is actually turning the temperature up. Including himself, grinning in selfies with the world’s inflamer-in-chief.

Albo Tried to BURY This Report. This Is What It Said A unanimous report told the government to ban gambling ads. Albo released it when the media wasn't paying attention. Here's what it said and why they ignored it. youtu.be/6yEzVguwbys

TAKE NOTICE

NEW FROM ME: Australia relying on Starlink, and the whims of Elon Musk, is now a national security threat following his decision to cut access for Ukraine at a pivotal moment in its war with Russia. #ausnews #auspol

Wow. The Labor government has proposed a longtime Labor politician as head of the NACC. Can’t imagine how that might go wrong.

michaelwest.com.au/robodebt-on-... Palantir has been lobbying the Government to control the National Disability Insurance Scheme”s (NDIS) data, potentially exposing Australia’s most vulnerable. Claudia Weisenberger reports.

Selfie train. Repost this and show us a moment when you felt gorgeous.

Just thought… When you see the major parties legislate against the public interest - and then track it back to major party donations - you realise how cheaply they are willing to sell us out for 😞😞 #auspol

The political class has turned Australia into a nothingburger, run by a secretive cabal that urges its citizens to ignore blatant double standards by keeping the temperature down & to not upset the apple cart of outrageous foreign interference. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic... Vote Greens

Ethoxyquin is a fire retardant used in dried animal and fish food. It’s carcinogenic. Australia the US and Asia allows its consumption. The EU and UK have banned it Here, higher levels have been found in Tasmanian salmon than in pre-ban tested fish in the EU The Greens want it banned #auspol

I already loathe the diesel rebate as an enormous fucking grift of a tax expenditure, it's a policy that needs to die, and it didn't occur to me that it would also apply to datacentre backup generators. Fucking hell that's absurd. au.news.yahoo.com/call-to-end-...

The REAL Dole Bludgers That Aren't On Centrelink An inquiry has revealed that JobSeeker is broken, and that private companies are cashing in while jobseekers and taxpayers are getting left behind. Despite criticising the system, Labor has barely fixed it. youtu.be/WycF_7KRcIg

“It’s a bully-boy tactic!” That’s corruption-busting barrister Geoffrey Watson SC’s description of @albomp.bsky.social’s new secrecy tactic of taking #FOI winners to court, and exposing those winners to hundreds of thousands in legal costs. #DontWinAnFOI #auspol
