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? 🚩

“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.💯

GOOD NEWS

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - was this you turning the temperature down? #auspol

Ms Rinehart seems oblivious to the possibility that she'd be warmly applauded by her entourage for being able to find her own left ear in the dark. They'll never tell her that she has the political insight of a cuttlefish, the appeal of tenacious grout-mould & the morals of a letterbox.

Big tech will try and tell us the rollout of AI and data centres is inevitable but here’s the proof it’s not. Community opposition to a data centre in Victoria has delayed the project so much it cut the developer’s net revenue by 1/3 and dropped their stock price 40%.

We have a Govt that doesn't have the what it takes to implement reasonable oil and gas revenue measures (as implemented by countries such as Norway, Chile and Peru) and instead focusses on cuts to social services in trying to balance the budget 🤬. #auspol

the right want Helen Haines' attacker to be left wing. the left want him to be right wing. the picture that is emerging is far more complicated. what it doesn't change is that this was an act of gendered violence, and that exists across the political spectrum.

"I'd be tempted to run over Yassmin Abdel-Magied." – Prue MacSween, 2017 "Helen Haines ... has been deliberately targeted and run down by some bastard. So sad." – Prue MacSween, 2026 You could say: It's right there in black & white. #auspol #media #racism #VAW #HelenHaines

If Albo is serious about turning down the temperature he will finally take himself and his government off X. If he doesn't, he's not serious.

@AlboMP You are wrong to blame only social media when tragedy strikes In 2020, 500K Aussies & 2 x PMs signed a petition for a media royal commission You chose to ignore that when you became PM That choice led directly to the rise of One Nation & a divided nation 🐝 #auspol

Angie Bell should be ashamed! #auspol

I'd filed a Hanson/ Lambie cartoon for today but it seemed a bit tin eared with what's happened in Indi so I did a new, last minute one this morning. I had a few ideas about division & dark days but thought I'd focus on something that's bringing people together instead. Here's to Helen Haines.

Ditto. I hate the LNP/One Nation for what they are, but I utterly despise @australianlabor.bsky.social for what they're not.

Liberal Leader Angus Taylor says he's "deeply saddened" by the attack on Indi MP Helen Haines. Just 6 days ago, in the HoR QT, Liberal MP Angie Bell called for the PM and Small Bus. Min. Anne Aly to be "stoned in the square". A vile dangerous remark. His Party is part of the problem. 😠 #auspol

"The PM is right that we should turn the temperature down, and that starts with parliament. That means not calling for people to be stoned in the square, or making fun of a female politician's health issues." - Andrew Wilkie on the attack on Helen Haines. #auspol

While Australian politicians are condemning violence, just a reminder of who is a role model for the leader of the party that's had the fastest growing support. #auspol www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Jacqui Lambie has shown courage and honesty in speaking of her experience of vaginal prolapse. She’s talked about an awkward subject to make it easier for other affected women. Pauline Hanson thinks that's worth making fun of. One Jacqui Lambie is worth 1,000 Pauline Hansons.

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

Israelis set fire to fields & olive trees before attacking Palestinian villagers and journalists with clubs, incl. 63yo award-winning Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, who was robbed & brutally beaten by the group. They're not "settlers"; they're terrorists. #WestBank #FreePalestine

Labor teamed up with the Coalition to block Lidia Thorpe’s bill banning shackling during childbirth. What the fuck is wrong with you if you can’t support even that? Prison does not strip women of their humanity. No woman should give birth in chains. No exceptions.

I remember when Labor stood for "Labor values": caring for people and the planet, not for protecting the interests of billionaires, the fossil fuels industry, multinationals and arming genocidal Israel. Vote @greens.org.au. #auspol

Josh Frydenberg’s memoir, A Grateful Son, is billed as a reflection on Australia’s future. Inside the Liberal Party, it is being read as something closer to a political job application www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Have had that horrible experience of being asked to change the briefest paragraph in one of my books so a particular foreign publisher could avoid arrest in that country’s massive LGBTQ+ crackdown. I had to decline and therefore not be published - you don’t negotiate with tyrants - but what a world.

Coming soon to ABC The groundbreaking series Given Up, which follows young children with hopes and dreams from a variety of backgrounds as they progressively give up their passions and principles to become dead eyed soulless functionaries of a major political party. Part 1 Anthony Albanese

Monique Ryan says she won’t be losing any sleep over a potential Josh Frydenberg comeback, saying the ppl of Kooyong won’t forget his shocking failures when he was Treasurer, or how he “punched down on Victoria during the COVID years.”🎯🔥 Indeed, Victorians will never forget.

Be warned! If you're a pro-Palestine Victorian voter: Melbourne-based pro-Israel activist Avi Yemini, who served in Israel's military, has registered the fake Pro-Palestine Party for the upcoming Victorian election. Yemini's goal: redirect votes to right wing, pro-Israel parties. #auspol #springst

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

Most Australians hope for a return to their government upholding international law. Which means real sanctions on the Israeli state, ceasing all weapons trade, and expelling Israel's chief propagandist in Australia - aka the ambassador. #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine #auspol

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: ASIO no. 2 is being rushed through parliament this week. This is the bill that allows warrantless questioning by ASIO, without a lawyer, and you can't tell a soul without being sent to prison. Share this widely and make some noise.

24 years on: The inquiry that exposed the children overboard lies By Marianne van Galen Dickie, Andrew Bartlett The 2002 Senate inquiry found Peter Reith deceived Australians over children overboard. Cabinet then blocked key staff from giving evidence, leaving crucial questions unanswered.

Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS? Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

Game day prep - @meganjherbert.bsky.social 💥

Israel has just banned all Arab Parties from running in their upcoming elections. Arabs make up 21% of Israeli Citizens they have now been banned from having any representation. Israel isn't like Nazi Germany. It is Nazi Germany.

Why would you trust an industry founded on theft to self-regulate?
