The Govt's new aged care algorithm has been assessed as neither fair nor consistent. The Govt must listen to experts and ensure they don't pursue another robodebt-style automation designed to cut costs at the expense of desperately-needed support #auspol

I love how Govts seem to think that solving poverty is not their job. Every time they pose with a charity or someone giving something away, they are admitting their failure. #auspol #ShameOnYou

50,000 deaths from heatwaves; without countries like Australia (one of the biggest exporters of coal) taking action, this number will only increase. So I hope Albo has something meaningful to say when he jets off to Turkey for the global climate conference.

🚨🚨🚨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.

An EV sold every 100 seconds: Australian demand for electric cars more than doubles

We (rightly) talk a lot about gas, but we should not forget we export a hell of a lot more coal and most of it is for burning for electricity rather than being used to produce steel. And all of it destroys the planet. #NoNewMines

Anti-vaxxers deserve your total contempt.

This was a great listen: definitely need to take a look into Bell Hooks.

A story you don’t read about coal mines 😏

Concern? How about arrest the f*cker?? Cripes. If you or I hacked Medicare, the AFP would bash down our doors. AI does it? Oopsies! I am concerned! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

So confident yet so wrong

A Senate report shows nearly three-quarters of a $500M+ government grant program went to Labor-held seats. When Senator David Pocock tries to table the evidence proving it, the government blocks him from even putting it on the record. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ-p...

“There’s no avoiding the scale of our responsibility – or the cost of inaction,” says @albomp.bsky.social, the leader of a government that readily and repeatedly approves new, or extends exisiting, fossil fuel projects. 🤷‍♂️ 1/2 #duplicitous #climate #auspol

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

"Can someone explain why – in an economy in which the central bank has decided we need almost 700,000 people to be unemployed – those people live in such dreadful poverty that it can make you up to 10 times more likely to die in the prime of your life?" www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

"If we had started this transition 40 years ago, maybe there was room for these delaying, slower tactics to reduce emissions." "Carbon offsets should be the last option." The Hon Senator Rosa Galvez at today's #ClimateIntegrity Summit 2026 @senrosagalvez.bsky.social

‘It’s the best feeling’: how Copenhagen gave cyclists a green wave. “Traffic lights are synchronised so a rush-hour cyclist at 20km/h can catch green lights all the way.” If you want people to choose not to drive, make the non-driving trip better & easier for them. It’s as simple as that, really.

End the 10 session cap on Medicare rebated psychology services (with an increase not a decrease). #auspol

If @albomp.bsky.social’s gov is going to stymie climate action for the sake of foreign corporations (see last post), they sure as hell better start working out how to fund climate disaster mitigation. #Auspol We will not accept the excuse “We can’t afford to help.” theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Woolies and Coles made a combined $2.2 billion in profits last year, while 53% of Australians reported finding it harder to put food on the table. If Aussies are struggling to put food on the table, Coles and Woolies shouldn’t be posting massive profits.

This keeps happening.

Labor won’t leave AUKUS - only the Greens will

@davidshoebridge.bsky.social delivered a scathing assessment of the $368 billion trilateral security pact at Canberra’s first public hearing, arguing it was a “ridiculously dangerous gamble”. Read the full piece on The Point: thepoint.com.au/new/260904-s...

A foreign military is getting more and more bases, control and domination over our country. Labor, the Coalition and One Nation are all celebrating this. They are not on our side.

The govt knows gambling ads hook kids. Murphy report called for a total ban. Instead we get weak restrictions in 2027. 90% of young pokie users harmed now. Whose lobbyists wrote this delay? #auspol #gamblingharm theconversation.com/...

I asked the outgoing NACC Commissioner whether he accepts responsibility for keeping his own CEO in the dark about his ongoing defence work. His answer was that his CEO had no business knowing what he was doing on the side 🤯🤯🤯 They just don't think the rules apply to them!

Time’s up. The Albanese Government must do better, to stop Australians being the world’s biggest losers, with gambling losses of $87 million every day. We must ban gambling ads and establish a national regulator.

. @albomp.bsky.social has said today that @australiainstitute.org.au "needs to be fair dinkum" about gas taxes. Well he keeps saying the PRRT is ramping up. Guess what PM, your own budget papers show there is a ramp...but it ain't heading up. Fair dinkum, mate. Give the gas company spin a rest

The govt are tabling their response to Peta Murphy's 2023 'Win Some, Lose More' Gambling report TODAY - tabling it AFTER the budget LOCK UP - This is an insult to all the Australians who have fought for a ban of gambling advertising. SHAME! #auspol

#auspol Gas Industry profits mean big political donations to the ALP & LNP. 50%⬆️of NDIS participants are in the lower socioeconomic group. They can't afford to make political donations. Who is benefitting from the Govts recent announcements???
