Lefty, convinced we can do better. Battles poor journalism and status quo 2 party politics. They say the older you get the more conservative. Not me! Occasionally I laugh too. Union member. Wurundjeri land. Support Gaza via known charities. Follow back

ABC Radio reporting with a straight face that the opposition will scrap net zero, renewables programs, home battery scheme and affordable housing initiatives. Reported verbatim as if they were all sensible good ideas. The rise of the right is frightening and polite rebuttal is not enough #auspol

The dangerous pesticide atrazine has been banned in the EU for over 20 years. But Australia does whatever America does. So, just like the US, they allow atrazine in Australia, and they spray it all over our food. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... #auspol

I don't know who is writing the headlines at Australia's ABC News, but I wish they'd stop looking for ways to praise Brendan Nugent, the alleged attacker of Helen Haines. The Australian mainstream news media need to srsly examine how they report men's crimes of violence against women. #auspol #VAW

There’s no let up as Australia’s peak haters - the Murdoch media and their One Nation mates - blame everyone from the Prime Minister down for the Helen Haines attack.. even as she fights for life they weaponise tragedy. “Truth Lies & Media” is live⚡️ Promo Match Frame Editing #auspol #NewsCorpse

It's not years of degradation of social services, corporate power, price gouging, stagnant wages, fewer good jobs, expensive education, tax loops making housing unaffordable - it's social media people!! #StatusQuo #auspol

Listening to Speers, MSM, Raf Epstien, politicians etc you realise they're all in it together. Status quo keeps them employed. Blame social media and anyone speaking out as extremists. We are in a very dangerous time and it looks like we're going to let them get away with it.. #auspol

David Speers "How do we turn down the heat in political debate?" Maybe stop giving a voice and making disgusting arguments credible to people like One Nation? #auspol

Chris Minns seems to think himself above the law, he needs to go as he’s clearly not working for the people #auspol

A contemptuous decision by idiot NSW premier Chris Minns to alter state laws reversing high court coal mine expansion decision. Sue Higginson: one thing is clear, under Labor the coal mining giants are writing the laws reneweconomy.com.au/coal-lobby-a...

Only 79% of Americans are literate, and 54% (astoundingly, the majority) have a literacy level below the 6th grade. For the record, the literacy rate in Cuba (the country that has trained medical doctors for third world countries – for free - since the 1960s) is over 99%. #USPOL #USA #us #uspoli

Looks like the MSM (misogynist slop media) have decided to really make sure Ben Roberts Smith gets away with it.

Wazza from Melbourne Over the next few weeks, people in the MSM will point the finger at social media for fueling political violence and sexism in Australia. What they won't do is hold a mirror up to themselves, or to the politicians fueling it. The rot in this country starts here. 👇🏼

Ditto. I hate the LNP/One Nation for what they are, but I utterly despise @australianlabor.bsky.social for what they're not.

Cancel the stupid submarine contract, impose a 25% tax on LNG, implement a gas reservation policy, super profits tax on petrol and groceries companies. Chase the tax avoiders! How did we get stuck with this lame duck PM pretending to be a progressive. I'm starting to hate everything about him. 🤬🤬

#Auspol Americans are catching on how the media monopoly among the fascist rulers works against them. In Australia we have dealt with since 1975 and the journalist strike broken by Murdoch.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

ICYMI: Vikki Campion, paid columnist for NewsCorp's Sydney Daily Telegraph and wife of federal One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce, is also a paid media advisor for NSW One Nation.

Great to see that the media, with countless utterly appalling ON candidates up for election in Victoria, go after currently unsubstantiated claims against a WA Greens senator. Of course that should be investigated. But the priorities of the media say everything #auspol

The Age reporting on @nickmckim.bsky.social's pushback on tax loopholes describe The Greens as "the minor party". I don't see them describing ON that way. More subtle bias from the once independent, now right wing rag, newspaper. #auspol

Just like One Nation the only reason Josh Frydenberg is getting any traction is because the media, hell bent on keeping their position via status quo, give him credibility. He, like one nation, has none - but still they promote him/them... #auspol
