Under Labor we have seen wages flat line, the rise of the far right and record war profits from fossil fuels going untaxed. We think these are ‘somewhat concerning’.

In June 2026, 100,300 Australians needed homelessness services. 15,800 needed emergency or short term accommodation. In a country drowning in wealth and empty investment properties, we've decided homelessness is just part of the fucking economy. #auspol

Did you know that 83% of Australia’s gas is used for exports? Australia Institute research shows that over the past 5 years the Australian government has allowed the export of enough gas to supply Australia for more than 20 years? A 25% tax on gas exports could end the gas shortages. #auspol

Australia shouldn’t get a seat at the UN security council
Australia is campaigning for a Security Council seat on a promise to defend international law. Yet Albanese condemned Russia by name while saying nothing comparable about US actions – even after Trump threatened from the same UN stage to “annihilate” Iran.

Very informative article Ross. What is very obvious is that Australia is not keeping up with the transition away from use of fossil fuels. Not funding R&D and championing organisations like CSIRO has been a backward step that will cost the nation dearly. #auspol

This is why fuel prices are pushing $3 a litre. Because Trump has no idea how to end the war he (and Netanyahu) started with Iran. That’s the war that Labor, the Coalition and One Nation all cheered on in February. It’s the war the Greens opposed. The only party that did.

Our starting point is simpler. Nobody should be forced into poverty because they lose a job, retrain, care for someone or refuse exploitative work. A universal income floor fixes that immediately, while broader labour and economic reform tackles what comes next.
