This is so sweet, right? It’s about a federal Labor MP who has received appalling threats, probably worse than most because she is a woman. ABC must also by now have covered Sen. Fatima Payman’s concerns about Albo not responding for 23 months to her requests over safety, right? Nope, nothing. 0️⃣

livesarah@livesarah.bsky.social

Over 100 incidents. It’s not just Senator Fatima Payman that Anthony Albanese is putting at risk here either. It’s her current staff too. So what is the Australian parliament going to do about it? Take their hands off their hearts for a second and tell Albo not to be a fucking hypocrite, hopefully.

<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...

deepcutnews.comPoliticians telling us to ‘turn the temperature down’ is peak hypocrisy – Amy RemeikisViolence is being normalised in Australia, and legitimate democratic dissent is not the fire – it’s the alarm

Why did the Western Australian regulators not already know what was going on with massive methane leaks at Gorgon? And why the delays? Who pays? Woodside wants to do similar “safe” gas extraction at Scott Reef. Should we let them? Tell our governments: HELL NO! No more coal, gas or oil.

Our country stands at a critical crossroads. Change must occur - but what kind of change? And crucially, for who? I'm presenting our alternative vision for this country at the National Press Club this Wednesday, 12:30pm AEDT. Tune in live on ABC TV & iView.

On Albo's post about the Kmart wishing tree - he's getting flattened. We pay our taxes to cover the needs of all Australians. But it's now going to the American war machine, Israeli weapons manufacturers and fossil fuel multinationals.

‘The White House is a symbol of America.’ You mean half demolished?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

It's not social media's fault. Do something to reduce poverty; tax export gas, & billionaires; stop Scotty & Albo's #aukus boondoggle; fund public schools fully NOW; & an anticorruption body that doesn't cover up pollies' crimes, & people mightn't be so angry. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10... #auspol

'One Nation's Barnaby Joyce is concerned an attempt to tone down political debate could cross into censorship.' Passing ironic that concerns about censorship comes from a member of a party whose leader refuses to allow two media organisations to attend and report on ON press conferences.

I warned 3 years ago that mink farms are a likely route to a new and horrific human pandemic, and once more I'm fervently praying it doesn't map out that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Kevin Uhrmacher@kevinuhrm.bsky.social

Wild new story from @natlash.bsky.social Bird flu has been raging uncontrolled on a mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted, instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

MUSK IS A WAR CRIMINAL #TheHague

Lora Kolodny@lorak.bsky.social

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

This is how broken our lobbying laws are. Every resources minister since 2001 went on to work for fossil fuel companies & 8 ex-ministers & senior advisers now lobby for gambling💰 It's time for complete reform of lobbying rules + independent watchdog. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

The only way to ensure a good outcome re the looming disaster Scott Morrison (and now @albomp.bsky.social) bequeathed us is to ensure neither @australianlabor.bsky.social or the even more right wing parties/MP's can govern in their own right, or hold the balance of power. Vote wisely. #auspol

Senator David Shoebridge@davidshoebridge.bsky.social

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.

One Nation says AI is coming for Australian jobs then used AI to make their campaign video.
They didn’t hire an Aussie videographer or Aussie editor or Aussie actors.
Turns out it’s only ‘Australian jobs first’ when One Nation doesn’t have to pay.
