I'm with Ken Henry - “Just do it and stop the crap” #GasTax #auspol

Konrad Benjamin on fire in today’s gas tax inquiry, says those claiming “we can’t afford anything” are full of it, we have plenty of resources to benefit from
“This gas issue is the perfect eg of how it’s a lie”
“We’ve been sold out”🔥 #auspol @punterspolitics.bsky.social @australiainstitute.org.au

The Prime Minister of Australia is a petulant weasel who is bumbling way beyond his mediocre capabilities.
Exactly what you don't want from a national leader at any time in any context.

yes, i can suggest half-a-dozen ways in which AI is / could be actually useful, but the reality we face is: we simply cannot know for certain that any image or video is real, or that any text is not hallucinated nonsense

The RBA’s policy deliberately creates unemployment. So why do we treat the jobless so badly? The way we deal with rising inflation is highly problematic.

"The assumption underpinning employment services – that unemployed people need to be monitored, impoverished and coerced – is in direct contradiction to an interest rate policy framework that requires a certain level of unemployment to control inflation"

Where are the AUKUS nuclear waste costings (let alone the dump sites)? - Michael West Defence has to provide costings for before procurement is approved. Where are the AUKUS nuclear waste disposal costs?

At this rate, Australia will get to dump US & UK nuclear waste here under the AUKUS deal, get no submarines for $368B, and still not be told where they're dumping the waste or how much it will cost

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.

That judges severe critism of a protester biting the finger of a NSW police thug while being punched for no crime during protests against Israel presidents visit seems to display some serious different views depending on who you are?

Ben Roberts-Smith granted bail after being charged with five counts of war crime murder Former SAS corporal to be released from Silverwater prison ahead of potential trial on charges relating to alleged killing of civilians in Afghanistan

If an eleven year old Indigenous kid stole 5 chuppa chups he would be in prison for fucking years and never even hear the word 'bail'

While Ben Roberts-Smith with 5 counts of war crime murder allegations, a man bankrolled by billionaires, gets bail to head home, another Aussie Dan Duggan remains in a high-security prison with zero charges.
Dan should be released & let home to his family.

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!

AUKUS submarine budget blows out by one third The bill for building nuclear-powered submarines over the next decade could be as high as $96 billion, according to updated figures published by the Defence Department today.

The only thing worse than a Defence project blowing out by billions of dollars is a Defence project that will never deliver the intended capability blowing out by billions of dollars. #AUKUS #auspol

Just yesterday Labor bet everything in defence on binding us to the US. Trump didn’t even notice, let alone care, and has come out and attacked Australia anyhow. This is not a relationship of friends or allies, we are being held hostage and need to escape.

No gas tax on existing export contracts, PM assures trading partners Anthony Albanese has said Australia had a reputation to uphold with trading partners and will stick by its deals, but did not rule out a gas tax on future contracts.

Once again, we see Albanese single handedly blocking absolutely everything. I assume in this case it's because Pocock and the Greens pushed for it, and he's a spiteful fucken child who hates anyone else's ideas. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

ALP's rigging of Victoria donation laws unconstitutional: High Court - The Klaxon The ALP’s rigging of Victoria’s political “donations” laws — in favour of the ALP and Coalition — is unconstitutional, finds High Court in unanimous decision.

#Labor’s rigging of #VIC political “donations” laws is unconstitutional!
All 7 judges of the High Court found the scheme, which allowed Labor, #Liberal & #National to obtain limitless funds, placed “impermissible burdens” on the freedom of political communication implied in the constitution.

Marles hits out at ‘washed-up bureaucrats’ amid accusations of accounting tricks Richard Marles warned Australia stands “at the foothills of a new nuclear arms race” in the Indo-Pacific and needed to spend more to defend itself.

Lawyer Nick Hanna and the Palestine Action Group celebrating outside court today

NSW's fascistic anti-protest laws, enacted after Bondi and to allow Isaac Herzog, a war criminal, to tour without opposition, have been defeated in court today. The Appeals court found the laws "impermissibly burden" implied constitutional rights. From the river to the sea.

@albomp.bsky.social also blindly supports Isreal/US with military hardware etc & has not condemd/sactioned Isreal for their crimes- good management of the crisis whilst supporting the cause - no stars from me

Let's not forget why the Strait of Hormuz is closed. It was open until the US and Israel decided to bomb Iran.

If PM Albanese could be courageous and fast track Australia to renewable energy instead of doubling down on the very fossil fuel dependence that leaves us exposed to global instability.

If the Zionist Voice To Parliament & her far Right Catholic enforcer are given the powers Israel demands, through their proxy, students like this will be expelled & University funding threatened. #auspol

International Law says that Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and all those who aided and assisted in their countless War Crimes should be tried as War Criminals.

It's time for International Law to return.

The Presidential podium is designated for the POTUS to address the nation or hold press conferences.
The fact this narcissistic twat used it to spew lies, regarding a salacious relationship with a pedophilic sex trafficker, will piss me the fuck off for quite some time.

Iran's grip on Strait of Hormuz 'not part of our planning', Israel ambassador says Ambassador Hillel Newman admits his country was surprised by the scope of Iran's response to the Middle East war and that Israel did not expect Gulf states to be targeted in retaliation strikes.
