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.

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.

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

Dear Australian mainstream news media Repeating is NOT reporting. "Pauline Hanson said ..." is NOT journalism. Allowing One Nation to make verifiably false or misleading assertions is irresponsible. Don't blindly repeat lies. Call them out: "Today, ON falsely claimed ..." #auspol #JournalismMatters

The biggest irony is that the oft-stated reason for the right to bear arms in the US is so people can stop an autocrat ever taking control of the country Well done, guys, for stopping that Another lie exposed We all know the real reason for the proliferation of guns is profit for the gun industry

A pretty big win for anti-data centre activists in Melbourne: protests over huge new power lines for Nextdc’s M3 project forced Jemena to pause works in Sept. Nextdc says that delayed power to the site. Today it cut FY27 earnings guidance by about a third and halted new projects and land buys.

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...

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli ignored advocate advice to split Amanda Stoker's massive portfolio fearing she'll hit the same workload issues as Amanda Camm. Separately, Stoker avoided answering if she'd push for the return of abortion criminalisation in Qld. #qldpol

This is a great episode from @janfran.bsky.social , pulling apart the PM’s “turning the temperature down” bullshit while we are gaslit about who is actually turning the temperature up. Including himself, grinning in selfies with the world’s inflamer-in-chief.

If we want change, we must vote for change. @davidpocock.bsky.social is the perfect example of how effective a politician can be. Because he isn’t influenced by vested interests. David works for his electorate & Australians first and foremost. Community Independents are the change we need.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

At some point after the election there'll be a lot of pieces puzzling out how the Republicans got away with being so generously funded by a notorious white nationalist and it wasn't treated as a big, problematic issue. From the same reporters currently not treating it as a big, problematic issue.
