I think everyone can now see that the "top priority" of the ALP is to keep fossil-fuel donations while everything else - environment, building an economy powered by cheap renewables, earning revenue from our exported gas - can be sacrificed. Do Australians vote for traitors? #auspol

So @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social and @albomp.bsky.social can we please be treated like adults about the insane #US politics. #auspol
Ok so fuel tax doesn’t work anymore because of EVs. Tax tyres instead. All vehicles have tyres. #Auspol.
She should have just written a song
Do not diddle kids, it's no good diddlin' kids I wouldn't do it with anybody younger than my son, not little kids, gotta be big
How bout getting a ban on gambling advertising done?
Still supporting these guys @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol?
"The president's case against wind are literally the rantings of an old man. I've seen grandpa Simpson make more sense."
He meant to say minimum, right? It needs to be penalty, not a permission fee.
Australian voters are suckers for a fossil fuel industry sob story. The industry cannot pay more taxes or royalties because its SO expensive making huge profits. #auspol
To paraphrase A.R. Moxon There is a word for Australians who voted for One Nation, not because they are racist, but out of a hope for restored patriotism. That word is racist.
Cartoon: Murdoch warns the blue collar worker "Careful. That foreigner wants your cookie" (his single cookie), while the foreigner has zero cookies or plate and Murdoch has an overflowing plate with a high pile of cookies.
Watch the racism ramp up to distract from the Gas Tax.
Norway charges 78% tax for their gas, which has built a Trillion dollar wealth fund for the nation.
Imagine all the public housing, hospitals & Medicare services that could buy for Australia. From those assets we own.

@australianlabor.bsky.social Maybe take some lessons from problem solvers like Finland instead of the orphan killing Trumpians.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
Requiring a vote in Parliament before sending Australia to war has 90% support. Labor will block this because it's the Greens, and because they always oppose measures to make power accountable. #auspol
Tassie has a once-in-a-generation, nation-leading opportunity to end a cruel, unpopular and outdated industry, and Tassie owes it to the dogs to get it done. Tasmanians, contact your LegCo members to tell them you want the greyhound racing ban passed. #auspol #politas
I assume you mean in general, but these bets might be as it seems they might have had inside information.
Do they have any?
Not a great look! #auspol
In case you haven't met @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, let me introduce you to today's @australianlabor.bsky.social party—
. Genocide against Muslim populations ✅
. Illegal wars against Muslim populations ✅
. Protests and/or graffiti decrying either of these war crimes ❎

No I don't agree. Why are we supporting the murder of innocent Iranians because of the declining popularity of a US felon? Complicated? Only because we make it. Our leaders lack the guts to argue against it. #auspol
The true reason for Herzog's visit.
Of all the moronic tales I’ve heard, this one just about takes the cake. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
I think probably the one misconception that bothers me about bike lanes is that people assume they are for those who bike...when really they are for those who are too scared to bike.
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
