"A deep dive into what I found out - and what remains secret - after my 13 freedom of information applications relating to the AUKUS pact over the past five years" writes Daniel Hurst, freelance journalist. Read the full piece on The Point: https://sbrew.link/8vawUhiC

The letter-writers are bringing it today.

Jacqui Lambie really unloaded on ON’s Mark Nicholson (fake criminal lawyer), says he should “not be in parliament” for refusing to apologise for his misogynistic cartoon & claiming it’s his “job to pick on ppl” Lambie “He should drop out”🔥 Grown man bullying women—yep, drop out

This performative charity PR exercise for a commercial company is really offensive. On seeing Marles all I can think of is the hundreds of millions he’s handed to the US that could helped Australians in need

The Govt enters into $100B worth of contracts each year, all with confidentiality terms that prevent citizens from knowing if the contractor is performing well. If I win in the Full Federal Court next week, that’ll all change. #transparency #Snowy #auspol

“Honey we can’t buy eggs, we have to set aside $7 to bomb the kids in Gaza. Remember?” Abdul El-Sayed is absolutely crushing it. This is the most brilliant ad of all time 👏🏼

“Politics should be a contest of ideas, not who can whip up the most hate or spread the most misinformation,” said @davidpocock.bsky.social Read the full piece on The Point: https://sbrew.link/o08O1AhL

Odd. I would have thought that this would be a very competitive market. I mean, how many were on the Lawyers for Israel email group that monstered the ABC about Antoinette Lattouf?

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

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.

What a surprise the homeless camp that got moved to a flood area is getting flooded in Morton Bay with the rain this week :/

Today’s Tingle. Too many western countries are silent on the far right government in Israel that is openly speaking about a ‘Greater Israel’ that involves invading and taking over several other countries, or parts of them. Like Germany in 1939 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

@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...

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...

Another Genocidalist, I won't miss

The violence we still refuse to name - Ronni Salt "What Albanese signals to Australian men with his endless happy snaps with Trump, is that treating women like dirt is just fine, that hanging around with rapists is a good thing because, well, because." theshot.net.au/news/opinion...

Much of the intl reporting on the French protests has been doing my head in. Especially the Australian tendency to miss the point. So I was glad to write about what I saw firsthand at Place de la République last weekend. And have my photo published, too. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2026/10...

Hard to believe, but 91 kids died in the care of Queensland Family and Child Commission, during the 2025–26 financial year. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If pollution laws meant anything (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) then both Canberra and the WA government would immediately move to shut down Chevron’s Gorgon plant

This is where the “capture and storage” plant that we were promised that has NEVER worked

Albo Tried to BURY This Report. This Is What It Said A unanimous report told the government to ban gambling ads. Albo released it when the media wasn't paying attention. Here's what it said and why they ignored it. youtu.be/6yEzVguwbys

Home Affairs gave a $4.3 BILLION air services contract to a company with no Australian air operators certificate or employees – or the required aircraft – and which was registered to a front company: a real estate agent.

The UK is 50 years late on taxing North Sea oil for a sovereign wealth fund, but still ahead of Australia on turning the North West Shelf gas bonanza to public benefit. #auspol

Elon Musk was the person who restricted Starlink for Ukraine. After a week of letting people die Trump finally ordered him to restore it.

Broe trucks on a whole new level! 🔥 Thanks to everyone supporting Ukrainian defenders! 🇺🇦 @realjakebroe.bsky.social

Meanwhile, the Australian government?..... 🦗🦗🦗 #auspol

Pauline Hanson has today insisted she was “not aware of the content” of her vile cartoon—but watch her yesterday tell Jacqui Lambie to ‘get over it’ and ‘have a laugh’ about ‘women suffering from this thing’🙄 No bigger liar or hypocrite than Hanson. #auspol

🧵 "The Israeli government is trying to foment violence between Jews and Palestinians, and to make it impossible for Palestinians to harvest their olive groves, drive on their roads, or live in their homes." Not rogue "settlers". Not ill-disciplined IDF members. The Israeli government.

After writing this column, Kogan.com got in touch upset that I didn't point out Kogan subsidiaries did pay tax (assume they mean company tax, they didn't say). Was happy to add it and provide the the full context. We're talking about $1.8bn revenue, about $20m tax... thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Israel has joined the Pacific Islands Forum, the region's principal political organisation, as a partner. www.rnz.co.nz/news/pacific...

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.

Full costs of Segal's overseas travel since she took up the job.

Isabella Weber is THE economist to be listening to right now “Fascism is rising from frustration, born out of a crisis of livelihoods,” says Weber. “So, we need to reclaim these essentials now.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Howard’s “legacy”. #auspol “he set the country up for 30 years of debilitating political conflict and energy-policy paralysis that is still going.” www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...?

Just fucking awful. As are early grotesque attempts to craft a Zionist-friendly narrative around this. Utter ghouls. This is an unhinged man attacking a prominent, beloved public woman, widely regarded as one "of the good ones". My thoughts are with Helen and her loved ones.

Zali Steggall calls out the toxic behaviour by politicians & media following the attack on Dr Helen Haines—from Pauline Hanson’s “revolting” cartoon targeting Lambie’s medical condition to the “appalling” radio shock jocks fueling their “aggression & anger” to listeners. 💯

One Nation has been spending a lot of money lately. I took a look at what we know, and what we don't, about where it is coming from and who is involved for @deepcutnews.bsky.social.

"A senior Biden White House official [...] labelled it “a fundamental decision, that binds decisively Australia to the United States and Great Britain for generations”. Pause for a moment to think about that language: Binds. For generations."

The same question needs to be answered by Australian authorities. #GazaGenocide #auspol

A U.S. Navy nuclear submarine officer on Gaza: "We swore an oath to our country, but our test is stopping what's happening in Gaza. This isn't war, but systematic killing and starvation. Without America, Israel couldn't commit these crimes."

NEW: Australia's nuclear science agency is among the sensitive government agencies and critical infrastructure targeted by the first-of-its-kind attack by an Israeli company exploiting adtech Researchers found a device could be infected after merely viewing an online ad www.abc.net.au/news/...

To support One Nation, you don’t just have to be racist, you have to be generally devoid of decency

Just lost my shit watching that nasty husk of a human Pauline Hanson with loathsome drunk Barnaby Joyce at her side tell the TV news crews that Jacquie Lambie should ‘get over’ their disgusting cartoon mocking her personal health issue. 😡
