◻️ "....almost half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet, 13 out of 31 members, have received funding from pro-Israel groups. Foreign policy is being influenced and undermined – not by overt corruption, but by the subtle sway of financial ties and the sense of obligation they create."

This is how broken our lobbying laws are. Every resources minister since 2001 went on to work for fossil fuel companies & 8 ex-ministers & senior advisers now lobby for gambling💰 It's time for complete reform of lobbying rules + independent watchdog. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

'Revolving door' between politics and lobbying rings transparency alarm bell
Lobbying has become big business, with around 727 lobbyists registered in the national capital, more than three times the number of elected officials sitting in parliament.

Got a letter from my MP! (Rachel Maskell, York Central). Hadn't heard of UNITE's idea before now.
Excerpt from letter, on posh yellow paper, "Unite the Union has proposed a 1% tax on individuals with assets exceeding £4M. 
According to their estimates, this measure could generate up to £25 billion annually..."

The “warning coordination meteorologist” at the local NWS FO left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees. Nuff said.

Greens have long pushed for Medicare‑funded dental as an equity measure since 2010; in 2025 Labor instead expanded the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, boosting support for kids 2–17 and concession‑card holders, rather than a broader phased rollout #auspol

From 2021 Greens senators called for an independent AUKUS review over cost, sovereignty and transparency, framing it as strategic overreach, language Turnbull echoed when he labelled the pact a “dud deal” #auspol

It was certainly much easier for politicians to trick their citizens about wars - when we didn't have independent and social media - and they could control the channels where we receive our information. Now we're in control - and can see exactly what's going on #auspol

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
