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

Aurelien Mondon@aurelmondon.com

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

Man, the level of sleaze in today's parliamentary sitting must have been epic. #auspol

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...

Social cohesion. #auspol

“When politicians tell us that shackling is a state issue, what they are really saying is that they are prepared to leave women and girls at the mercy of police and prison officers,”

If it was North Korea doing this Penny & Albo would sanction them. When it's Israel they just stfu. #auspol

The only real question I have about this interview is how much cocaine is BRS hovering. Lad is a total freakshow. #auspol

stranger@strangerous.bsky.social

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

And when one of these poor desperate sods goes troppo & takes out their rage on local authorities it will be everyone else's fault but the bastards who let this happen. #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.

As I was helping my charge into the car at the shops I said hi to a burly Sikh lad running a disabled taxi. If you deport him you'd have to pay blokes like me twice as much to do his job. #auspol

"He said he initially thought what he found was an Aboriginal person's remains. "Who else's skull would it be?" Mr Breadsell said. "I had it at the shed there [at my home] for at least a fortnight or three weeks."" oh, that's fine then :/ :/

When he's not bending over for Trump, he's bending backwards for merchant bankers. Albo makes Hanson look normal. #auspol

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. 😱

Spending my day hanging out in cemeteries. A cold, grey Melbourne day is quite appropriate.

Of all the ways she could have got her ugly mug on the TV today she chose this. The level of sleaze Wong brings to Aussie politics is unmatched. Tony Abbott is an amatuer in comparison. #auspol

Antipoverty Centre@antipovertycentre.org

Yes, 20% of suicide deaths are people on JobSeeker. Yes, 60% of working age adults who die are on a Centrelink payment. So what did Tanya Plibersek do in Anti-Poverty Week? Give $5 million to charities. FULL STATEMENT:

No doubt Albo & Angus took turns chugging beer from a prosthetic leg to celebrate their heroes. #auspol

Hanson/Liberal voters want to turn Australia into Trumpland & Albo has a severe case of early-onset Joe Biden. Bleak. #auspol

Simon Rosenberg@simonrosenberg.bsky.social

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...
