Rather than recalculate these, Labor passed new legislation to retrospectively validate debts they had already conceded were illegal. Now people are having to go back decades to find evidence with which to defend themselves. This is beyond indefensible. Spitting in the faces of Robodebt victims.

You know another thing that could help 'turn the temperature down' Mr Albanese? Raise the rate of unemployment benefits so that some people are less desperate to survive, and feel slightly less hopeless and angry at least #auspol

Are hallucinations a stage of dementia? Asking for an enemy...

@AlboMP You are wrong to blame only social media when tragedy strikes In 2020, 500K Aussies & 2 x PMs signed a petition for a media royal commission You chose to ignore that when you became PM That choice led directly to the rise of One Nation & a divided nation 🐝 #auspol

Watching from Australia and waiting for all the second amendment supporters to rise up against a tyrannical government.

She is paid by the public 60x the JobSeeker rate. What makes her 60x more valuable than the people she has trapped in poverty?

Five years in power and things continue to worsen for the most vulnerable amongst us. What is the point of Labor? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10... #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social

Any time a police car passes by... "You'll never take me alive, copper!" in that silly mock American gangster accent.

"War Games for Tax Purposes" "Wag the Dog for Tax Purposes"

Very true. Every conservative's banned books list is a recommended reading list.

If the best the DNC can do is conservative 80 year old Trumpy culture warriors, they're going to lose these mid-terms. What a pointless waste of space. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Albo losing Grayndler? You heard it here first. Mine for MWM: michaelwest.com.au/albos-suppor...

I think you'd be lucky in Gaza to find a building to throw people off. Seen the satellite images on Google Maps lately?

So interest rates have to go up because we need 100,000s people to lose their jobs, but a climate catastrophe coal mine has to be expanded because we can't use 1,500 jobs? I'm not indifferent to the material conditions of workers, but this system sure is.

Having met Shoebridge, I think Albanese should be worried. Shoebridge is tough, smart and instinctive. a killer combo in politics. Australia needs a real opposition given hollowman Albanese's effective coaltion with the right. I'm not sure how the ALP rusted-ons live with themselves.

Democrat centrists played stupid games, and won stupid prizes. The DNC needs to hold open primaries next time, and don't interfere when the results aren't favouring the candidates they personally want.

Opinion | For a prime minister seemingly unbothered by the Greens' new leadership, he sure had a lot of advice for David Shoebridge, writes Rachel Withers. www.crikey.com.au/2026/10/02/d...

Under Labor we have seen wages flat line, the rise of the far right and record war profits from fossil fuels going untaxed. We think these are ‘somewhat concerning’.

Donald Trump: "We're going to be signing a document renaming artificial intelligence to Super Intelligence. We will also be renaming measles to Happy Rash, the White House to Mar-a-Lago North, the Constitution to Trump Toilet Paper, and child rape to Republican Hug."

Google has started updating satellite images of Gaza. Holocaust. (📸 Barry Andrews MEP, European Parliament)

Interesting. If it takes 6-8 years for a rich person to get a sentencing for a sex crime in the US, Trump would probably never serve a day in prison, even if he were charged for Epstein Files crimes this afternoon. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Australia Institute research shows voters across the political spectrum overwhelmingly support a 25% tax on gas exports, which could raise an estimated $17 billion in revenue each year. Yet the Australian Parliament has failed to act. This new ad highlights the important issue.

I went and made this for ya, it was too good a meme

It’s not your imagination, groceries ARE much more expensive 😡👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

This is hilarious. 😂 😂

Anthony Albanese: “Nobody left behind”

The latest Dollars & Sense pod is up, talking about poverty, migration…and sadly that this is the last one with @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social australiainstitute.org.au/post/a-shock...

Back again to visit. More hoop jumping from the other place. Cloudflare, then QR code, then forced to install X app, then forced to do face scan/palm reading... and the face scan and hand movement scan doesn't work. Sigh. So broken there, but mostly tumbleweeds here.

Truly astounding the temper tantrum this country had and continues to have over being asked to do the bare minimum during the pandemic

Jared Kushner’s father paid a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, secretly recorded it, and then showed the video to his own sister for revenge & intimidation. He got caught. He admitted it. He got convicted. Trump pardoned him. And today he made him our next Ambassador to France.
