If we want to 'take the temperature down' in Australia, a really good start would be blocking X entirely, and making the algorithm opt-in on all Meta platforms. As a side benefit we'd also be slightly reducing the income of the fascist billionaires Musk and Zuckerberg

We need to dial down the duopoly and increase the autonomy of the crossbench if we are to reduce this massive inequality. Vote Community Independent. Put a spine back into #Auspol www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Polite and respectful political debate doesn't mean staying silent when you see someone being racist or bigoted.

Andrew Wilkie has also called for more respect from right wing politicians, from Angie Bell demanding the PM and Anne Aly be ‘dragged out into the village and stoned’ to One Nation labelling Andrew Hastie a traitor - completely inappropriate. Agree. Enough is enough. #auspol

Zali Steggall calls out the toxic behaviour by politicians & media following the attack on Dr Helen Haines—from Pauline Hanson’s “revolting” cartoon targeting Lambie’s medical condition to the “appalling” radio shock jocks fueling their “aggression & anger” to listeners. 💯

"There is no reading of these figures in which women are the problem. There is no reading in which men are the misunderstood party. The threat is male, it is domestic & it's growing. Anyone telling young men otherwise is either lying to them or is a wolf." Kos Samaras johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...

Has the Australian mainstream media reflected at all on their own role in this? Someone should write a piece on the numerous times radio shock jocks and breakfast tv and late night tv commentators have promoted violence against politicians or public figures. #auspol #media #VAW #racism #HelenHaines

When you allow a very naughty child to behave badly without any consequences, they will grow up to be a very dangerous adult.

The best people weren’t protected Jo Cox MP in England Former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark Hortman, and their golden retriever Gilbert And now Helen Haines Violent men with violent speech amplified by RW media of all kinds.

ICYMI an Israeli company hijacked online ads to track millions of devices and open the door to zero-click spyware, with our nuclear science agency, critical infrastructure and newsrooms compromised. This is a big deal.

We need a duty of care that works to ensure conversations like this get shut down and flagged, every time. Tech that encourages and validates violent delusions is a danger to our society and we can’t rely on voluntary measures to limit the risk.

This is an incredibly dangerous precedent and confirms all the dangers of AUKUS - wargaming Australia as the base for a US war with China - and us even paying for it. We need to end AUKUS before this becomes real.

If he did it, he must go If he didn't, he stays I doubt there are any Greens members who don't have a similar view

Went to the October 17 protest in Paris today. Lot of anger, especially about the police actions over previous weeks where students lost hands / an eye. This was at Republique.

Morning. ☕️

"it was a political decision to try to stop people protesting and assembling in NSW. In the name of social cohesion, it clearly had the opposite effect. It has been divisive and violent." Precisely why we need an open inquiry. #nswpol

"Keep in mind, they help One Nation on FB" Not just One Nation. The fascist billionaires have been using Facebook and related propaganda outlets to control the agenda and manipulate the poorly educated, elderly and feeble minded in Australia for a couple of decades.

How the media frames the protests in France (“unbridled violence” and “carnage” vs “rallies” and “protests”, for example) can shape the way the rest of the world feels about them.

Pelvic organ prolapse - bladder or vaginal - affects about 1 in 12 Australian women. It's often linked to physical strain, heavy lifting or past childbirth. It’s uncomfortable and debilitating.

Jacqui Lambie has shown courage and honesty in speaking of her experience of vaginal prolapse. She’s talked about an awkward subject to make it easier for other affected women. Pauline Hanson thinks that's worth making fun of. One Jacqui Lambie is worth 1,000 Pauline Hansons.

It's an insult to our intelligence that Penny Wong pretends to find the Israeli ambassador's response insulting. When her government provides diplomatic cover and weapons parts to his regime, so they can murder aid workers, health staff, journalists and Palestinian civilians with impunity. #auspol

Queensland can't keep going like this. We need less combative politics & more concerted efforts from the parliament on addressing all the health, ambulance & hospital issues. Less blame & more action from government, opposition & crossbench. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

The only thing more glaring than Hanson's unfitness for public office of any kind, is the unbelievable lack of scrutiny of her behavior from the press who feel it is their job to amplify her one and only policy

Sending love, respect and kind thoughts to @jacquilambie.bsky.social today. (In case you missed it: Pauline Hanson's One Nation has published an utterly vile, cruel cartoon about her, mocking her health situation. I haven't watched it.) 💐 🙏 #auspol

Have we heard an opinion from the mighty #AMA ? Have we had an opinion from obstetricians? Have we had comment from paediatricians? Do not forget, there is always an entirely innocent child critically at risk... #auspol

"A senior Biden White House official [...] labelled it “a fundamental decision, that binds decisively Australia to the United States and Great Britain for generations”. Pause for a moment to think about that language: Binds. For generations."

Still shaking my head in disgust that #Pauline #Hanson #OneNation did this to Jacqui #Lambie.

If AI can outperform most students on an exam, the real question is no longer simply who wrote the answer. Universities need to test whether graduates understand, can challenge and can take responsibility for the work, Komla Tsey writes. #AI #HigherEducation

At worst, the Albanese government is racist and misogynist. At best, they just don't care. Just the latest example of how "No-one left behind" was only ever a hollow political slogan. #auspol

There is worldwide social unrest at the moment that is driven by the fact that governments are not governing for the people but rather pandering to corporations instead. Essential services are being depleted as profits grow. We cannot have these things because Govt does not prioritise them.

Why shackle pregnant women who are giving birth? It makes no sense, what can they do? Rob a bank? It sounds like cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

Anyone contemplating voting for Hansons looters have a look at trump’s pillaging of the US. Buyer beware.

Disgraceful decision, QLD government dumping electric busses for diesel. thedriven.io/2026/09/01/f... #auspol

Several governments recognized Palestine a year ago. It's tokenism, unless they follow up with sanctions against Israel. Without action, and whoever is PM after this election, the Israeli apartheid system will continue. The only difference will be the intensity of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

"The chilling lesson of the Starlink episode for those who depend on US hardware or software is that the US always retains an off switch. In other words, Britain and the rest of Europe have to be able to defend ourselves" Have you taken that lesson, @albomp.bsky.social ? #EndAUKUS #auspol

Advance is harming the campaign, Victorian Coalition members warn. Advance dismisses them as displaying a "galactically stupid misunderstanding of both the electoral position they find themselves in and our strategy for the campaign". #springst www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

When someone tells you who they are, believe them! Pauline Hanson's cartoon making fun of Jacquie Lambie for suffering from a debilitating medical condition is as low as I've seen her go...so far! Remember this moment when you go to vote, then choose someone else, in fact choose ANYONE else. 🤬🤬🤬

The same week, the Greens stood with Lidia Thorpe to back her bill banning shackling in childbirth, while Labor and the Coalition blocked it. Their excuse was that it's a matter for the states, which really means letting the practice continue.
