Two young women murdered by men. There is a massive issue with violent and angry men in our society, and the Albanese Govt needs to set up a bipartisan taskforce to address this horrible situation. #auspol #Springst #nswpol #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

Apparently you need a physical drivers licence and debit/credit card to hire a car in #Queensland. I haven’t carried a wallet with me for years. We progressives won’t survive under Poorline. #QLD #Auspol #QLDpol

“Activists from the Global Sumood Flotilla are being ATTACKED, FORCED to say “Am Yisrail Chai” and ABUSED by Israeli forces under the supervision of Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir. A FEMALE ACTIVIST CAN BE HEARD SCREAMING WHILE BEING ATTACKED!

The Liberal Party, with deputy Jane Hume lost the last election due partly to her “Indian migrants” comments, now think they can win the next election by demonising migrants. #auspol

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

It was David McBride who blew the whistle, triggering the Brereton report & laying the groundwork for Ben Roberts‑Smith’s charges. The thanks he got was jail, while war criminals roamed free. It’s about time Roberts-Smith is put away for good, but McBride must be released.

I'm not saying this rhetorically—I'm speaking literally here. At what point do Republicans admit that Trump has lost his mind and replace him with Vance through the 25th Amendment? Never? Do we need to see a nuclear weapon dropped on a city of 10 million innocent civilians first?

If there was ever a day to cancel #AUKUS, it would be today. Albanese must grow a spine and leave the alliance today. Trump is beyond deranged, he is a dangerous psychopath. Hopefully #NATO starts defending Iran from these unprovoked attacks. #auspol

Australia’s gas resources belong to Australians, not the gas companies. A minimum 25% gas export tax is only fair. It means Australians get a return on the extraction of our resources and we can fund public programs for the benefit of all. 📷 Credit: Mike Bowers #auspol #politas

What a waste of space and money the #NACC is. Corruption found with #Robodebt, no prosecutions. Maybe we should treat all crime in a similar regard for consistency? #auspol #WeakLabor
