we're tying our national defence to what are very clearly masturbatory and unsubstantiated fantasies of military might while the afp are rocking up on ABC to declare cannabis a national security risk, we are not a serious country in any fucking way #auspol

Yep. I'm on the slave payment (volunteering for the right to live) Rent and power is the whole payment, so a wealthy land owner and an offshore utility company actually get the payment and I get to eat noodles. #auspol #LaborSuckHairyBallSacks #RaiseTheRateFuckers www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The international intervention follows an official human rights complaint lodged by nine young Australians last year, accusing the government of putting their lives, health and futures at risk through continued fossil fuel expansion. Read the full piece on The Point: https://sbrew.link/gSXZmftW

Since we're on a political high, let me add: doomer mentality is what makes far right movements thrive. Our turn around in Brasil was largely in part to keeping a positive mentality and refusing to see everything as hopeless. Killing cynicism in you kills fertile ground for fascism.

Socialist Alliance candidate and former Geelong City Councillor Sarah Hathway joined Green Left Radio to discuss the right wing hypocrisy on the attack on Helen Haines. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1465/an...

One of the saddest aspects about the global wave of right-wing populism is how many people are still in awe of the billionaires despite their racism, misogyny, hate and bigotry. Peter Boyle argues they are literally destroying our future. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1465/an...

"How bad would you feel if you were leading a government that was doing so poorly that your young citizens had to go overseas to get a hearing on what they wanted done?" - co-CEO Leanne Minshull speaking at a press conference with Generation Justice at Parliament House today.

David Shoebridge unleashes on Home Affairs after they admit they send undisclosed amount of taxpayer funds to PNG with zero checks & balances—while it’s ‘up to the PNG govt’ to do whatever they like with our money, Shoebridge “That’s not an answer to Australian taxpayers?”🔥

Two former Independents are challenging these grossly unfair laws in court. Cash cows for the majors and towering hurdles for Indies. Indies are the only ones fighting for fairness in #Auspol. We need more in power. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Australian Labor spent AU$2.6M ousting 2 Greens rivals from parliament Max Chandler-Mather got under the Prime Minister’s skin. Then Labor spent $1.3M to defeat him. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Takashi Miike talking about VISITOR Q (2001). There’s a subsection of film fandom that really really needs to try and internalize this mode of creation/understanding.

Every Australian deserves to share in the wealth that comes from our own resources. The Greens will make big corporations pay up so you can keep more money in your pocket. Whether your income comes from a wage or a social security payment, you’ll benefit from our plan. 1/2

youtube.com/shorts/5DedY... @jimchalmers.bsky.social Stop the inequality that @albomp.bsky.social has failed to address. @australiainstitute.org.au @missionaust.bsky.social @davidpocock.bsky.social #auspol

It's ridiculous that someone was paid nearly $900k for being fired, but even more outrageous that the Albanese government refuses to say why they abruptly terminated a Secretary when there were hundreds of thousands of unlawful payment cancellations.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - you may have misinterpreted the demand to #RaiseTheRate. #inequality #auspol

"Pro-life" parties whom all seem to deny climate change and actively work against action on climate change are death cults #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

David Shoebridge is on fire at the NPC, rejects claim The Greens are not near the “sensible centre” just coz they don’t bash migrants & oppose Israel’s genocide, “I reject any correlation b/w that & what we’ve been doing…to call out a genocide & say kids should not be killed”💥

The antisemitism envoy told the Royal Commission that Gaza’s death toll was “grossly inflated” and that the UN accepted this. The UN said otherwise. When I asked she said she “notes” the UN’s views.

i try to brighten my friends’ days by sharing good news whenever i see it, but this now being the third time i’ve seen very positive climate news lately, i’m gonna get a lil mean: climate doomerism is misinformation and spreading it, even just in jest, is antithetical to the values you espouse.

We can demand more than Labor’s managed decline. We can build an economy that works for people, not corporate profit — and a country confident enough to chart its own path. The Greens are ready to lead. Join us.

The Greens are today announcing our plan to cut tax on work and put more money in people's pockets. Every Australian will have an extra $1000, paid for by the 1%. The cost-of-living crisis isn’t inevitable. We can change who pays tax and who gets relief.

No one should have to choose between the life they’ve built here in Australia and the parents they left behind. The Greens are fighting for a system that lets families have both. Because of a go-slow on processing by Govt a parent visa today means waiting 18 to up to 42 years.

You’re gonna want to see what the BlueSky guys have decided is too intolerant for you to read.

David Shoebridge calls out Jillian Segal after she admits she failed due diligence with CAM—hosts of the antisemitism summit she’s speaking at—as Shoebridge reveals CAM awarded a racist US Republican who called for Gaza to "overflow with blood” Who is she partnering with? 🚩

When public servants give evidence in a public hearing, about jobs that the public pays them to do, their answers should be direct, unambiguous, and detailed. That is the contract between the public and government. Any suggestion otherwise goes against that agreement.

“The ‘Mutual’ Obligations Survival Guide is designed to cut through the bullshit and give people confidence that when something sounds like a lie, they can point to the evidence that it is,” – Jay Coonan

What’s in a name #auspol #AUKUS #UKPolitics #USPolitics

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

No one should have their safety net suspended by job search providers, but especially not people who qualify for the Disability Support Pension. The government will say, 'oh yes, we have compulsory requirements for people on the DSP, but only if they're under 35 & only if...' SHUT UP! It's cruel!

Rusted-ons defending fossil fuels, pork barrelling, racism, keeping people in poverty, Aged Care Robodebt, ties to fascist US and genocidal Israel like: we're the good guys 😍 This is what Good People do! #auspol

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

If, somehow, you still haven't played this, it's an all-time great

The Australian political & media class may read this and smugly think: 'We're not as bad the US'. But all the signs are that, without real change, we are heading in a similar direction. And as grievances build, we will need far more than "civility" to maintain a fraying social contract. #auspol

"Attitudes excusing violence against women are a stronger predictor of violent extremism than race, religion or political leanings. When women stop running for public office, our democracy is at risk." @mon4kooyong.bsky.social #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

The ombudsman agreed that the government failed to learn the lessons of #robodebt. But it's the opposite. For #agedcare, #NDIS, #jobseeker payments & employment services, the Albanese govt has learned precisely how to apply cruel, arbitrary & dehumanizing policies to the most vulnerable. #auspol

The Tech Bros want to strip-mine Australia for their AI. Govt is letting them. Monte Dwyer reckons some serious oversight is in order. #auspol #Anthropic michaelwest.com.au/anthropic-ai...

Older people have been saying this for months. Labor's automation of aged care assessments has been a disaster, under-assessing need and priority, denying care and driving up waitlists. It's past time to bin the whole thing and put humans back in charge of decision-making.

<sigh> yep #auspol We’ve normalised men killing women, police bashing peaceful protesters, indigenous kids in jail til they kill themselves, shackling women in labour, delaying climate action, economy prioritising corporations over people ..... www.deepcutnews.com/p/politician...

Chris Minns is an authoritarian berzerker! "The NSW Premier says he’s going to create special laws to bypass the courts & the planning system & give a huge Hunter Valley coal mine a 30% increase in the amount of coal it can mine." Sign the petition to stop his legislation! 👇 🇦🇺🦘🤠 #auspol #nswpol

Remove #palantir spying from Australian government, banking, hospitals, retail etc "Palantir's CEO published a manifesto declaring that "some cultures are dysfunctional," and that Western tech firms have a "moral debt" to US military dominance." #auspol #australia greens.org.au/campaigns/ca...
