#auspol our political class sees Australia as a resource to sell to private enterprise. We need a political class that sees Australia as a nation.

Australia news live: independent candidate for Farrer says Coalition preferencing One Nation ‘not for the good of our community’ Follow live

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The Coalition has done a deal with One Nation because they are worried One Nation will wipe them out. We will never know what One Nation offered the Liberal/National Parties to strike this deal, but what we do know is this isn’t about Farrer.

Australia "invests" $184 billion into fossil fuels by 2030 via diesel subsidy, which kills 1 in 5 people through emissions alone (then there's suicidal workers, ff induced climate fuckery like heatwaves, the list goes on...),
The NDIS = every $1 in gives back $2.25.
Which is blowing out the budget?

Coulda
Woulda
Shoulda

Didn’t.

Australian Labor Government under Albanese.

Disappointing. A super majority, and a ton of political goodwill. Under-utilised.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.
#CommitToALivingWage

"Experts" are saying that the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme is not viable. Then spend the AUKUS subs money on it instead. We'll never get the subs anyway.

There is no razor gang for the diesel subsidy.
There is no razor gang for 170 billionaires.
There is no razor gang for fossil fuel's unpaid taxes and damages to society.
There's a razor gang for the disabled.
Congratulations, corrupt Australia.
We know who you want dead.

The Point Live: Business and gas companies have their say on gas tax proposals. Representatives from the Business Council, Shell and ConocoPhillips are among those fronting the gas tax senate inquiry today, while the health minister lays out proposed changes to the NDIS.

Shell Oil suggested they were putting $1m into the Aus Energy Producers advert campaign because its adverts need to meet "Advertising Standards" "unlike those from The Australia Institute"

So @jack-thrower.bsky.social & I decided to fact check their advert

Australia news live: about 160,000 people to be cut from NDIS as Mark Butler says scheme ‘costs too much and growing too fast’ Follow live

I love that they say things like 'people will be moved to services outside NDIS' as though there are actually services there for those people to access.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

New Australia Institute research shows that the Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing Australian gas than the Australian Government!

"They're taxing our gas. There's no reason we can't."
@richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

So we have all the money in the world for bombs and submarines but sfa for NDIS weird am I the only person that finds this offensive?

I will say it again. Warfare in the technological age has changed everything.

We don’t need to spend $380bn on subs.

Private health inusrance. Unfit for purpose and in need of reset - Michael West A $6.9 billion annual subsidy supports a model for private health insurance that's losing consumer confidence. There's a proven alternative.

Is private health insurance a rort surely not? $6.9B subsidies, $1.7B in combined profits Medibank, BUPA, NIB but underpay hospitals by over $1B #auspol

You do not need to be a "good" writer to be successful.

If Rowling was the genius writer you're claiming people would be clamouring for her detective novels, but she's not. She's a mediocre hack who got lucky.

Table the Euro-Med Report! Else politicians, media are complicit in atrocities - Michael West A report titled ‘Another Genocide Behind Walls' was published this week, bearing witness to unspeakable atrocities committed by IDF soldiers.

"Spitting on the ANZAC tradition". Table @euromedhr.bsky.social rape and torture report, report it, writes Andrew Brown, or else Australia's politicians and media are complicit in IDF war crimes #auspol

Don't be ridiculous we are investigating billions in bombs they are collateral damage some must simply be sacrificed for the benefit of war mongering billionaires. Without war how would shareprices dictate our quality of life or lack thereof? Protect the war machine our market relies upon it

The US and the Epstein Regime are the terrorists FFS we need to be like Spain et al America is not an alliance of mutual values or character. AUKUS is a criminal enterprise money laundering operation that turns us into serfs producing weapons of mass destruction.

Probably not what the bank told you was it Westpac?

The Epstein Regime are the terrorists. AUKUS is a war mongering money laundering operation that will turn Australia into weapons manufacturing plant with expensive holes manned by Serfs for billionaire shareprices. We need to put people before the markets. We deserve better from our representatives

AUKUS is a war mongering money laundering operation that kills children the Epstein Regime fucks them what a pair

Bloody criminals

Yeah nah we're Ausmerica now we'll spend billions on bombs before ensuring quality of life for our citizens. Imagine what we could do with only the money going into AUKUS the biggest money laundering operation in our history

Another interest rate rise will tip Australia into a recession we don’t have to have A sharp fall in confidence and rising fuel prices point to a potential downturn, but traditional policy responses risk making the situation worse.

I'd like to be surprised, sadly I'm not. There were huge mistakes made by government and health professionals that failed to demonstrate that we are ALL in this together during COVID. These results demonstrate that distrust in the system that will continue for years. It should have been different

Richard Marles' deeply delusional, unserious defence speech points to bleak times for taxpayers Richard Marles' speech on our new defence strategy was completely delusional about what the US has done to the world — and promises billions in wasted, borrowed money.

Defence Minister Richard Marles is dedicated to ensuring Australia remains a loyal vassal of the United States — at enormous cost to taxpayers, writes Bernard Keane.

We need an unequivocal statement from Labor that Australia will not be dragged into an illegal war led by Netanyahu and Trump.
Obfuscation, weakness, sycophancy, fear and appeasement of Trump weakens our economy sovereignty and standing on the world stage. Courage not cowardice!

The Federal Court has today ruled that Australian citizen Dan Duggan will be extradited to the United States, where he faces up to 65 years in prison for conduct that wasn’t even an offence under Australian law. It's deeply distressing news for so many.

Mate I'm more concerned about our relationship with the fascist Epstein Regime tbh. AUKUS is the biggest money laundering operation in our nation's history. America is no longer an alliance that can be trusted taking unilateral illegal military strikes without consultation with Australia FFS

Once upon a time Australia used to laugh at America for spending ludicrous amounts of money on weapons of mass destruction as their own citizens couldn't afford Food, Shelter healthcare or quality education. How time changes...
We don't have to continue this path AUKUS must be abolished immediately
