"Let’s not use right-wing tropes that income support is rising out of control. Rather, we should be wondering if those on income support are being forced to live in poverty and despair, and just how much that is contributing to issues such as mental health."

Please consider helping this appeal. The shutdown of civil dissent that we currently suffer started with silencing whistleblowers having evidence on animal cruelty.

An excellent study of baby milk marketing in Australia showing how the public is misled by online marketing. Milk formula is now a $55 billion industry & an excuse for governments, health providers & employers to duck responsibilities for enabling breastfeeding. theconversation.com/australia-ma...

New paper with Melissa Bartick and @jpsmith1.bsky.social on breastfeeding, breast pumping and "human milk feeding." We call for support for breastfeeding and not just providing expressed breastmilk, preservation of "breastfeeding" as a term, and breast pumps to be added into the WHO Code scope.

Cut-price Costello Tim Wilson on Sky just now: "It’s very clear to me that when there’s an increase in petrol prices, Jim Chalmers collects more excise revenue." Excise is not based on price changes. It's indexed twice a year in line with inflation.

This job ad for a new Woodside CEO is surprisingly honest

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

#bondi The 1 positive thing I can think of about the tragic shooting in Bondi today, is that Australians, unlike American, will demand to know how these degenerate scum got hold of the weapons & will insist whatever loophole they used will be closed permanently to make sure this doesn't happen again

I want you to imagine for a moment what would happen to you or I if we stole, say, $300,000 from an armoured car... Imagine if instead it was an indigenous youth in rural NT... And then there's this: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

It’s easy to lose confidence in the Independence of NACC when it is so entangled with the military. As a big spending department, defence is where corruption inevitably occurs. Here the ‘elites’ hobnob but no justice for the dead. #robodebt kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2025/12/11/r...

‘Home Affairs Secretary Stephanie Foster and NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton had at least one private phone call discussing the Stephanie Kolobaric corruption investigation yet neither kept notes of the phone call which is a red flag . kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2025/12/07/e...

Don't stress, Gina is on the job. As usual the Australian taxpayer will foot the bill for building all the necessary infrastructure and forgo any and all profits so the money can be fast tracked into Gina's coffers. There will be no profits to be taxed, Gina knows all the tax loopholes!

Why did NACC hide names of corrupt people? As was asked in parliamentary committee @davidshoebridge.bsky.social was it because one was chief of staff of the secretary of the Home Affairs department, Ms Wink Foster calling head of NACC Paul Brereton? Wots going on? www.facebook.com/share/p/1AGs...

Transparency is not accountability. Briggs: both major parties undermined trust in government by appointing mates to plum positions on boards. In her assessment, 6%-7% of appointments could be described as political, & up to 1/2 risk being seen as political. www.themandarin.com.au/304169-aps-m...
