Tell me again how One Nation is the party of “real Australian values.” If this is what you want to be associated with be my guest but I want nothing to do with a political party that at every turn represents the worst of us.
Jim Tory Chalmers plans to cut red tape for business, while maintaining absurd levels of scrutiny for unemployed people.
Because corporations have proven to make responsible and moral choices when left to govern themselves.
And because unemployed people are shit on the government shoe.

This is excellent. Farnsy flashmob in Brisbane in response to new Queensland hate speech laws which outlaw the phrase ‘From the river to the sea’.
I will say it again. Warfare in the technological age has changed everything.
We don’t need to spend $380bn on subs.

"Israel created the largest group of child amputees in modern history and now blocks prostheses.
"The cruelty is always the point."
Chris Minns’ unconstitutional anti-protest laws were in line with Lachlan Murdoch’s riding instructions that Israel must be supported and any criticism crushed, says @paulbongiorno.bsky.social #SundayShot #nswpol #auspol
Friday, Brisbane protesters sing & dance to John Farnham’s Two Strong Hearts - ‘River to the Sea’
Saturday, 20 arrested for saying the exact same words in a chant.
So if you wear a wig & dance you won’t be arrested. The inconsistency is utterly humiliating for David Crisafulli.
AFR screenshot We need to flip the script on NDIS incentivising disabilities Instead of rewarding psychological fragility, our government must stop incentivising young Australians to medicalise everyday struggles and anxieties and encourage resilience. Josh Szeps Columnist
This is total horseshit.
The NDIS incentivizes shonks and ticket clippers to provide dodgy services and "assistance" at higher costs to people with disabilities.
The entire issue with the NDIS is that a generation of Australians (including almost everyone working in the political media) have become indoctrinated to believe the private sector is more efficient than the private sector.
Privatize disability care? What *could* go wrong???
Politicians, media hacks & anyone claiming AFP "overstepped" got a reality check today. Court heard evidence BRS had “advanced plans” to scuttle overseas & made a “deliberate decision” to hide this from authorities.
Time to stop making excuses for the elite.

And yet they want to (not so much lately though) bandy around the phrase “leader of the free world.”
Been listening to a lot of left-leaning US podcasts this week & it's amazing how little they care abt the impact this is having on the world. Lots of discussion about gas prices in the US & how it'll affect the midterms but zero reflection on the global economy or how poor countries will be crushed.
Ignore ‘self-serving’ claims from gas giants and implement 100% tax on windfall profits, Ken Henry says
Our NHS is a public asset, but private interests are gaining influence over its £240bn budget. When private money shapes public decisions, patients and staff pay the price.
Healthcare should be about people, not profits. 💙
Read the report: Link in bio.
Australia's gas exports rose by $48 BILLION in a decade.
In that same decade, revenue from the petroleum resources rent tax FELL by $450 million.
The PRRT is broken. This is why Australia needs a 25% gas export tax.

It’d be great if our media could cease reporting every single Trump fart and instead report the reality of what the US is doing.
It’s not a human interest story about one person, it’s a political story, of a nation sinking into fascism and idiocy.
Our media is a member of the cult.
Let’s do Block Aid - I’ve written a song about trump “Do They Know It’s Syphilis?”
The literacy standard in news media is in the basement.
A simple “s” on the end of Reboot and confusion ends.
It’s almost like a coordinated talking point went out on Red Cross doctor Jesus H. Trump.
Gee I wonder how a Trumpesque policy by the Libs will go. If only we had a recent example of an election to test this against

It was never about the boats or about saving the lives of refugees. It was always about racism and exploiting fears and punching down on refugees to win votes. Even when they stop coming to Australia the Coalition still announces today that if it was returned to Government…
Imagine looking at the complete destruction of democracy, the rule of law and human rights in the USA under Trump and then thinking, we need that in Australia. We are Australia and we will not submit to fascist policies where people would have to submit their social media
This is why Amazon fights so fiercely against unionisation (or unionization for the US workers)
“Good Ol’ Boy” Australian values.
I am staging a concert to raise funds for a 4th one. I’m calling it Block Aid.
Forecast of gas consumption out to 2025. Domestic consumption is forecast to halve, all the while a shit tonne of LNG keeps getting exported.
The gas industry wants you to believe that we're about to run out of gas. Here's the forecast from last month out to 2045

A group of musicians are getting together for a concert to help with this - it’s apparently called Block Aid.
De-Tractors! I like that.
Farmers don’t need to just feel differently - they need to vote differently. Here’s betting they won’t.
