These elections really make clear the damage populist hype has done The idea that anything left of centre, mildly critical of the status quo and the capitalist elite could be equated to the far right is so ridiculous and yet this is what has been pushed in most of the media aided by many academics
The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from
Every few minutes there is a code grey/black over the PA when some poor nurse is copping the brunt of capitalism. #springst #auspol
A record number of patients are languishing in the state’s emergency departments for more than 24 hours and more patients than ever before are receiving urgent medical care in hospital corridors due to a lack of beds. www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

Politicians concerned about being "dehumanized" might reflect on other examples of dehumanization: - migration 'debate' based on racist dogwhistling - a welfare system run as if #robodebt never happened - 1 in 6 kids living in poverty - older people dying on waiting lists for home care services...
As political tensions accelerate, a key solution also poses a big risk
War pigs love war dogs. Napoleon loved the puppies.

The only real question I have about this interview is how much cocaine is BRS hovering. Lad is a total freakshow. #auspol
Absolutely shameless for BRS to be using right wing tabloid media 2GB to launch a public PR offensive, trashing court evidence and attacking colleagues who refused to abide by his “code" of silence. This won’t help BRS one bit. Prosecutors will be all over it. #auspol

A Queensland government agency has threatened legal action against the City of Moreton Bay for "illegally" allowing homeless people to camp at a public park. It comes after the City of Moreton Bay council turned Wyllie Park in Petrie into a free, designated campsite for homeless people in August.

Police forcibly entered the 43-year old’s home, ostensibly for a welfare check. Jesse was confronted by three police, with one tasering him and another fatally shooting him in the back. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1464/ne...
The young lady who runs the office at Box Hill cemetery is a goth-punk. A cherry-haired Morticia. I doubt I have ever met anyone more suited to their job. A lovely woman who is very good at what she does. If only I was a few years younger I might have asked what she was doing after work.
In the middle of Springvale cemetery they have left a pile of wooden stakes in amongst the graves. 😱

Hanson/Liberal voters want to turn Australia into Trumpland & Albo has a severe case of early-onset Joe Biden. Bleak. #auspol
So Taylor is heckled while trying to appeal to One Nation supporters. But the bigger issue is how the Coalition has thrown away all pretense of its once liberal roots. And is now all-in for the #FarRight. Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
