Peculiar man behind Hanson's repulsive & rudimentary AI cartoons is a One Nation candidate for Victorian Senate: he says he employs 25 people to make them (ba ha ha). Quite unfathomably, he claims he's a satirist. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Jared Kushner received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia & the UAE to carry out political favors and was encouraged to keep the money in Israel’s central bank. This is the biggest corruption scandal in political history. Kushner has managed to outcrime Trump!

Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine, the latest report from a UN Commission of Inquiry has concluded.

👇👏👏👏👏💚 The leadership we need now more than ever. With good Independents just imagine & then vote so it’s reality. #auspol

Segal is incorrigible.

This is a *great* book, btw, for anyone interested in the topic.

Oh my god #USA, please sort yourselves out starting with the midterms. Your government is being run by actual morons who either deliberately lie through their teeth about everything important or are too stupid to know they're lying through their teeth about everything important.

"That evidence says unequivocally that a substantial and permanent increase to the jobseeker payment is long overdue, and is needed to ensure it is fit for purpose as a safety net that supports people who can, to re-enter the workforce." Labor, Coalition and One Nation are all pro-poverty parties.

Good ole Albo’s poor mother must be spinning in her grave at what this bloke is doing to ordinary Australians! He could easily wind back subsidies to mining, claim Australian gas resources for australians, stop funding private schools & yet he goes after unemployed. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

We keep telling the government - we don't want automated robo-debt, or data centres everywhere, or aged-care assessment by algorithm, or non-professional NDIS decisions. Employ real people. Pay real wages. Fix hospitals & schools. Tax the squillionaires & giant companies. Can't be any clearer.

David Shoebridge calls out Jillian Segal after she admits she failed due diligence with CAM—hosts of the antisemitism summit she’s speaking at—as Shoebridge reveals CAM awarded a racist US Republican who called for Gaza to "overflow with blood” Who is she partnering with? 🚩

“Large AI firms are shopping around the world trying to sell their snake oil and the price is copyright reform. International creative businesses are looking at Australia and cannot believe the government has been duped.” The Albanese govt isn’t just risking Australian IP. It is exposing the world.

How tall are the AI datacentre power poles that sparked a community backlash in Melbourne and tanked nextDC's share price? here I compare the concrete masts with their timber predecessors and other things seen on suburban streets

🔔content warning💔looking forward to our brave journalists aggressively demanding denunciation from pro-Israel lobbyists who went after Grace Tame.

"The report found Israeli authorities and forces had continued to 'commit genocidal acts' even after the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, 'with the intent to destroy the Palestinian people'." No surprise that this got hardly any mainstream coverage. #GazaGenocide www.nine.com.au/world-news/m...

That's the #NACC working exactly as @albomp.bsky.social's @australianlabor.bsky.social government designed it to do. Once more I ask: What is the point of Labor?

PHON & LNP will dutifully complete the work of fossil fuel sponsored #AtlasNetwork think-tanks that spunoff Advance to kill the Voice referendum, then offshore wind, now the Vic govts clean energy rollout & VNI-West project. All this racism is cultivated solely to protect Big Fossil power & profit.

The answer to political hatred is not less debate. Australia needs politicians who speak honestly, media that do not cultivate contempt and a public square where disagreement remains robust without becoming dehumanising, Jack Waterford writes. #HelenHaines #auspol #Democracy

Greed

reposting with alt text. An absolute picnic and not just for lawyers. Lotta consultant-lobbyist-advisory outfits making hay as well as top tier law firms.

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.

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

Smug...

Coalition don’t care if you die of heatstroke in the coming years

That's less than 10% of AUKUS....

"So the chances of a wage breakout leading to higher inflation are almost non-existent. Indeed, the reality is that for the last few years, wages have not even kept pace with the prices of goods and services, and wage increases cannot possibly be blamed for the unacceptable rate of inflation."

"'..White House official – trumpeting the AUKUS decision in a press briefing right at the beginning – 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 far-right lobby group Advance — registered as a political entity with the AEC — falsely claims to be a “grassroots” group of “ordinary Aussies”. In fact, its main funders are a small handful of the nation’s richest people."

This is becoming a common pattern worldwide and if you're wondering it's because facism and patriarchy are twins.

19/ "What these students in Serbia did will be studied for decades to come and be emulated around the world" -- @lilylynch.bsky.social mehrankhalili.com/serbia-upris...

“The principal purpose of Carbon Capture & Storage has never been to tackle the climate crisis. Instead, CCS serves to align public opinion & government policies with the fossil fuel industry’s plans for unrestricted expansion under the cover of “net-zero". www.nationalobserver.com/2022/04/06/o...

The Student List had no party machinery. It operated through university assemblies, protests and hiking between cities & towns. They had 2% of national TV political advertising airtime vs 93% for Vučić. This is one of the most remarkable grassroots democratic victories in modern European history.

Your reporting on Silicon Valley oligarchs, their goals, ownership of Vance, corruption with Trump is among the most important journalism in the world. Future historians will rely on your work. Everyone should read The Nerd Reich, gift it to family & friends this holiday, listen to the podcast.

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social It's about time you stood up for the Jewish council of Australia They are doing the hard work and you are doing nothing. Call a meeting to read them the code of conduct you expect from Australian Politicians there is no room for hate and division.

“How do you tastefully satirise someone’s vaginal prolapse? You don’t”💥 Monique Ryan rips shreds off Pauline Hanson for attacking her rivals with violent & misogynistic cartoons. Says it’s time media stop ‘giving a public voice’ to someone who spreads so much negative trash.💯

We need more Monique's and Jackie Lambie's and zero Paulines . .

Did Hell Freeze Over? Mark Kenny on #Insiders correctly points out it's not just Social Media that's to blame for Hate Speech, it's also the 'traditional' media. Murdoch (not named 🙁) has a long tradition of angertainment. #auspol #journalism #HateSpeech #HelenHaines

When Farrell says "I'm trying to put it in perspective, Senator Shoebridge", is he implying that Israel starving Palestinians is somehow justified because of how the Nazis treated Jews?? That's the only obscene 'logic' I can draw from his rambling rant. #GazaGenocide #auspol

Half a million West Bank invaders, nearly all white Jewish, are entitled to vote in tomorrow's election, while the 3.5 million Palestinians residents there, nearly all Arab, are not. This is exactly, definitionally, apartheid.

Excellent....

Are Liberal Party-voters who voted YES to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament having conversations with the Victorian Liberal Party & fellow LNP-voters about the Party's promise to rip Victoria's Treaty❓ Any media care to report on this❓
