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.

Three people is not a protest, it’s one upset family member and two friends offering moral support. Vote Louise Elliott dead last in the Hobart City Council elections. 🖤💛❤️

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 Govt's new aged care algorithm has been assessed as neither fair nor consistent. The Govt must listen to experts and ensure they don't pursue another robodebt-style automation designed to cut costs at the expense of desperately-needed support #auspol

The far-right Queensland leader Crisafulli will cut funding to any not-for-proft organisation that criticises him. That's the LNP march to authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol #qldpol

oh wow so great to see politicians patting themselves on the back after yapping in parliament and signing a civility promise… how about you make a promise to do your fucking jobs and ensure people have the material conditions they need to live a dignified life you soulless fucking ghouls

This is not about immigration, it’s about racist ideology. There’s an epidemic of stupidity at the heart of government and it will cost America dearly in the future. Justin Wolfers 👏👏👏👏👏👏

AI companies say their products can cure cancer, take us to Mars, but apparently not respect the copyright of artists and creators... that just doesn't add up. Maybe the Minister isn't afraid but artists and others are!

We’re all wishing Helen Haines a speedy recovery. She is warm, committed, smart, respectful and one of the most effective champions of integrity in public life. She has already changed Parliament for the better more than anyone else.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Congratulations President Lula. Demonstrates you don’t need to capitulate to Trump’s intimidation, interference and aggression. Lessons for our politicians?

Palestinian physician and author; Dr. Ghada Karmi delivers a masterclass on how to confront a zionist 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇵🇸

David Shoebridge asks Don Farrell if he’s aware the Sumud Flotilla was trying to provide aid to starving Palestinians. Farrell rambles, starts talking about a book he read on Hitler’s “shocking treatment of the Jews” Shoebridge “Minister I’ll draw you back to my question…” 🙄

Doug Cameron:”In my view it is now clear that AUKUS is about militarising Australia in interests of the US, ensuring the grifters in defence and the arms industry are well fed. It is an act of self-harm and madness on the part of the Australian government.” pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

Victorian artist & naturalist Marianne North (b. #OTD in 1830) defied gender norms to document global plant life. Over 14 years, she traveled solo across 6 continents and 15+ countries, creating a revolutionary visual archive of the natural world. #WomenInSTEM #Art #ArtSky

If your mates laugh at sexist jokes and think it’s ok to be disrespectful or abusive towards women, don’t join in to be “one of the boys” instead go get yourself new mates.

There's a strange rule built into our social security system: young adults get $150 less money to live on each fortnight simply because of their age. thepoint.com.au/opinions/261...

youtube.com/shorts/_Ui7t... Israeli spyware found today to have hacked Australian Atomic Agency, banks and newsrooms, to name a few and what does the government do? Well, contract another Israeli tech company and invites them right in. Good job #ALP #Auspol #IsraeliSpyware

Hamish McDonald wasn’t going to let this one go as Albo attempted to waffle away / sidestep / gaslight us with BS non-answers McDonald was asking legitimate questions and we need more of this  I also wonder why these tech companies can’t be held accountable for the content on their platforms

Albo the Unready wouldn’t take the first step in addressing hate speech by implementing a media Royal Commission, despite the presence of a huge APH petition at the start of his government’s 1st term Now he’s still trying to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism What a wasted opportunity

I'd like you to meet a late friend of mine, Mambi, a fierce warrior and genuine cannibal from the Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea. In the 1980s I wrote and recorded his biography and we became close friends. He became my informally adoptive godfather. #Papuanewguinea #png #photojournalism

Legitimate targets. Guess who's side we're on.

fascinating. In lower courts, the wheels of “justice” criminalise people born in poverty at around two minutes per matter, with collateral consequences for a lifetime, screened out of tenancy applications, jobs, the legal economy. But this guy. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Massive plumes of highly polluting methane have been detected above Chevron's Gorgon liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on Barrow Island off the West Australian coast Methane plumes have been picked up by 5 consecutive passes of the Tanager-1 satellite since Nov 2025

Well at least Australia has to count these emissions, even if the government tries to dodge counting all the emissions when the stuff we sell overseas is burnt
