Victorian Socialists has announced candidates in all 88 Legislative Assembly districts and 8 Legislative council regions - the first time in the history of Victoria that a socialist party has contested every seat in both houses of the state parliament.

One Nation has a nasty idea of what's fun

#Israel boasting to the world that they are going to commit the same #genocide and #destruction in #Lebanon, as they did in #Gaza.

Zali Steggall unloads on Pauline Hanson’s disgraceful finger-pointing and politicisation following the attack on Helen Haines. says she has a long history of spreading hate in the country “sells & pushes hate & division non stop” “Helen is the complete opposite”💯 Yup.

@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

#auspol What kind of politician won't vote to end the depraved & dangerous policy of handcuffing women to metal bars while they are labouring, giving birth and trying to hold their baby? May your pointless cruelty corrode your mental health & haunt you always. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Just back from doing the rounds at events for the Sydney, Newcastle and Canberra writers' festivals. So many people turned out! A reminder that more Australians attend live arts& cultural events than sports: (22 million v. 8.25 million ABS stats.) More Govt. support for the arts please!!

#ABC7.30Report with Frydenberg. How on earth does he get airtime? No-one is interested in his opinion. No-one. Do they not remember what he was like and what he did??

Three weeks out from her election Trump has sent Federal agents in to raid US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. This is part of his attack on migrants, especially Somali migrants. We need to resist this racist authoritarian politics wherever it rises. Wrong in the US, wrong here too.

Extraordinary attack from ABC management against the most senior elected union representative at the ABC - Labor should be speaking out against threats by ABC management against Michael Slezak and the MEAA. Critical thinking, critical writing, should never be weaponised against staff at the ABC.

Be warned! If you're a pro-Palestine Victorian voter: Melbourne-based pro-Israel activist Avi Yemini, who served in Israel's military, has registered the fake Pro-Palestine Party for the upcoming Victorian election. Yemini's goal: redirect votes to right wing, pro-Israel parties. #auspol #springst

Yet another example of a right-wing-libertarian-anti-government-anti-welfare fuckwit not having the self-awareness to realise that they themselves are ACTUALLY FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS. Read the full story: theshovel.com.au/2026/09/14/f...

REMEMBER: They all knew.

A brief reminder of the sorts of candidates that choose to run for One Nation, “one of the gayest parties in Australia”.

Because Australia gives so much of our gas away for free, Japan gets it so cheap that it makes a profit selling it on to other countries! Join the call for a national plebiscite to introduce a 25% gas export tax: https://gas-plebiscite.australiainstitute.org.au/

90% of Victorians want a total ban on gambling advertising across broadcasting and social media. It's time for the PM to read the room.
