www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u... You've no credibility when it comes to granting asylum, USA President Trump. Poor though Australia's recent record is re refugees, we've a long way to go before plumbing the depths of your cruelty towards the powerless. Now fuck off & take that nazi Hegseth with you.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history "Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

Time overdue to admit Scott Morrison's self-enriching fuck-up (that you embraced whole heartedly @albomp.bsky.social) is an obsolete slow boat to nowhere and #cancelAUKUS. Maybe France will forgive us now that Scotty from Marketing's gone? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f... #auspol

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Please spread this information - when this is what they pay other people, they’re signalling that this is what they’re aiming g to pay YOU. #auspol
It is not acceptable to pay ANY workers in Australia $2.50 an hour a so the union movement is fighting Carnival Cruises doing this on their Australian ships through appalling, exploitative loopholes. Summary attached - and more information and a call to action here: www.mua.org.au/MUA/Content/...

My problem with Barnaby Joyce is that he’s a textbook stereotype of a red-faced white conservative hypocrite; expensive private school education, pretends to be yokel; mouths religious belief, lives with no piety; condemns “promiscuity” in young women, but has affairs. A disloyal narcissist & drunk.

"ACTU president Michele O’Neil said the PRRT had become a scam on the Australian people, arguing large companies were making a “killing” out of LNG and the public were seeing almost nothing in return." A flat 25 per cent tax on all LNG exports would raise $17 billion a year.

@albomp.bsky.social’s #FOI Amendment Bill cannot be voted on this year. A week is a long time in politics - three months is an eternity. We must remain vigilant to fend off Albanese’s disgraceful attack on open and transparent Government. #auspol

I think @davidshoebridge.bsky.social is right. I can't see how a failing democracy's considerable armed forces on our soil - particularly when the President of that benighted country uses his military forces against his own people, can do other than threaten Australia's security #auspol #aukus
More and more Australians are seeing through the spin, and working out that Australia being a US base for B52 bombers, nuclear submarines, marines and spy hubs is making us less safe. Much less safe.
