@davidpocock.bsky.social delivered a BRILLIANT speech today at the NPC & I am absolutely fired up! 🔥 Australians CAN get better political representation through Community Independents who represent their communities & not vested interests. This is worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsd5...

365 days have passed since I left home and commenced a #WorkFromRoam lifestyle. What’s the experience been like, and what have I learned? Being isolated, but everywhere at the same time. Being on my own, but courting a lot. Here’s my story👇. #inspire

Australia is a leading global ‘petrostate’ We aren’t a renewable energy superpower & nor is the government legislating the sorts of policies which would ‘make us one’. The PM is lying when he uses this term. We should be boycotted condemned and shamed #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...

Asked about calls for budget discipline and cutting spending, Pocock replied: “You can make cuts, or you can grow revenue. I don’t understand why we’re slugging everyday Aussies and yet we’re happy to export gas for free.” What's remarkable is not Pocock's position, but that it isn't Labor's.

I'd filed a Hanson/ Lambie cartoon for today but it seemed a bit tin eared with what's happened in Indi so I did a new, last minute one this morning. I had a few ideas about division & dark days but thought I'd focus on something that's bringing people together instead. Here's to Helen Haines.

Marles is a pathetic Trump and Hegseth fan. If he can't see the writing on the wall regarding AUKUS, God help Australia if the USA orders Australia to participate in any further wars the US may start.
OPINION “Australia is pouring billions into #USA & #UK submarine industries while both countries struggle to meet their own naval needs. The risk is that #AUKUS leaves Australia without the submarines it was promised.” “Risk”? Insert “certainty”? 🪿 Mugs. We. Are.🪿 #Trump #auspol shorturl.at/2NolV

theaimn.net/democracy-fo... Australia, like many nations around the world, has failed to implement climate policies that are consistent with the dire warnings of climate scientists. One of the key reasons for that has been a barrage of lobbying from big corporations.

Speaking at the #RevenueSummit26, Greens Senator @barbarapocock.bsky.social said "nowhere is the perverted nature of our tax system more clear" than when it comes to gas. "Every day we fail to tax our gas exports we lose $50 million and every year we lose $17 billion," Senator Pocock said.
