The AFL is the home of misogyny and racism. Scandal after scandal - the old "few bad apples" excuse. Wake up AFL it's systemic. We don't see this in our swimming team, or our aths team, why is it always AFL? ( Won't be invited to the Brownlow 🤦♂️) www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

Being attacked by the Prime Minster should not be this fun. Cripes Albanese, at least get some facts. (Or at least read your own Budget Papers!)
Anthony Albanese says we at the Australia Institute need to be fair dinkum about a 25% gas export tax. Well, this is us being fair dinkum! @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Australia, your Prime Minister has gone full gas shill. Here's the transcript...ON HIS OWN WEBSITE. www.pm.gov.au/media/radio-...
. @albomp.bsky.social has said today that @australiainstitute.org.au "needs to be fair dinkum" about gas taxes. Well he keeps saying the PRRT is ramping up. Guess what PM, your own budget papers show there is a ramp...but it ain't heading up. Fair dinkum, mate. Give the gas company spin a rest

Think back to 2010, on the 2nd of May... Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is announcing a new Resources Super Profits Tax. Now, fifteen years after the Resources Super Profits Tax was abandoned, a new resources tax debate is raging. Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/3PjvSlV

I just saw the MTC play about the Westgate bridge disaster. It was superb. As an engineer it took me to the site and tragedy. #mtc www.mtc.com.au/plays-and-ti...
I thought to myself what would be the easiest way to electrify heavy transport - put batteries and motors in every trailer to assist the truck - did a web search and people are well down this path. There are a few regulatory hurdles but this is a no brainer #Auspol #tranaport vemotion.com.au
As a former engineer in the automotive industry many of us looked at Australia's advantages ( farming) and thought rather than close the government should assist us to pivot. This is a winner we need to pick
Remember when we had a decade of governments telling us EV tech wouldn't work, how's that going now? Australian company now developing an electric combine harvester... if only we could fund such development, instead of fossil fuels, and still suffering oil price shocks. linttas.com

Tonight Carlton and the Swans will kick off the third AFL season since the Murphy report unanimously recommended a comprehensive ban on gambling ads. Once again, our screens and stadia will be polluted with wall-to-wall gambling advertising, a normalised part of sporting culture in Australia.

Right now, the Government is starving medical research of full funding, even as it claims that science and research are national priorities. If our leaders truly value science as much as they say, then they must back their words with action—and fund it properly. Join the campaign!
