Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 06/10/2026ABC and Guardian headlining Angus Taylor and immigration again. It seems obvious that this is subtifuge. Media is making immigration the lead election issue (very Trumpish) when there are so many more pressing issues. Climate, inequality, the list is long. 111

Choosing the brave route – taxing gas and raising revenue – would also, in this case, be the right one. 001
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 30/09/2026NSW has approved the biggest coalmine ever in the state, saying the climate change impacts will be “outweighed” by economic benefits. And that’s where we are in Australia. As long as we can make enough money in the short term we are quite happy to ignore Climate Change. 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Another interest rate will crush people. Middle class people with decent jobs are suffering. Renters are in high financial stress. Jim Chambers and the Prime Minister appear to know this but do nothing. Australian house buyers are being held back, and renters are left behind. 010
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 24/09/2026AFL once again ignores the fact that male violence in Australian society is a pervasive structural issue. 020
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 23/09/2026RBA suggests 4.5/5% unemployment will ease inflation. That 4.5/5% will live below the poverty line,mortgage owners will buckle under the strain of a rate rise. But the billionaires and corporations will continue to make between $2/3.2 million A DAY. And that’s okay??? 100
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Why do we have so much American news on msm (ABC and The Guardin also). Today an elderly man beaten up at Walmart, and a girl orphaned in a deadly crash. I would guess there is a 100 more such stories to choose from. I wasn’t going to mention all the “Trumpsays” stories but they’re as insane. 001

Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Sport tonight on the ABC… Hawks, Rugby, Formula 1, Tennis. Nothing about the Dockers on the verge of a Grand Final. Like the whole state we barely get any recognition from the East. 000

Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Really, the Guardian has linked the melon story to two unrelated stories. I thought it was better than that. Not defending the comment just the constant repeating of it. 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regulates broadcasting,enforces industry standards,protects consumers from spam and scams, and oversees rules for television, and telecommunications services. Really? It’s doing a really shit job! 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The Albanese melon saga is only a saga because the media has reported on it every day. The Guardian has reported on it every day. I’m not commenting on what was said, I’m just wondering about the choices of the media. There must be better more relevant stories. How about the climate crisis or … 000

Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Ahhhh Everytime I turn on the TV it’s Angus Taylor waffling on. We’ve all decided he and his crew are useless but the ABC keeps getting him on to spin his usual crap. 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Mainstream media, the “Fourth Estate"so called to recognize journalism's ‘significant watchdog role and immense influence in shaping society and holding those in power accountable’ Now msm is just an assortment of billionaires pushing their own agenda. 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 03/06/2026One right wing newspaper in Western Australia. Delivered religiously to cafes, hospitals, aged care. For some people it’s the only thing the see. Cleaning up the msm, getting out of the clutches of billionaires would be good for democracy. 011
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 03/06/2026“One Nation recruit Barnaby Joyce has called for tighter controls on abortions”. Do we have to go through this again. We had our own Au debates about this and we’ve just watched Trumps America inflict pain and difficulty on Americans. Look and learn. Read the history. 000

Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Will the main stream media allow the govt to explain how their new tax changes, CGT and negitive gearing will actually work. The coverage has been appalling.Especially in the one newspaper in WA. Its coverage today was 3 pages about the broken promise. Get over it… things change. We need change. 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 10/05/2026After months, years of opening news apps and them being dominated by Trump, nothing this morning. One short item about him visiting Beijing in the Guardian, nothing in the ABC app. What a relief, but what’s going on. 100
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Palintir , whose “ product is sometimes used to kill people”, is also in Coles super markets in Australia. Coles has expanded their self service system and cut down on staff. Most people have no idea that this is happening. 011
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Why scrap the Electric Vehicle Tax discount but continue the Luxury Car Tax (LCT) Exemption, bought in by John Howard. 021
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Greg Jericho is so right. A rate rise “was all but certain because the Reserve Bank is determined to smash households.”It is hell out here in the world of the employed, god knows what it must be like for the unemployed who were fucked before this most recent crisis. 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 30/04/2026“Anthony Albanese has abandoned plans for a gas export tax as to avoid upsetting key trading partners.” He obviously doesn’t mind upsetting Australians, this will come back to bite him on the bum at the next election. 010
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Robert Riech, an American journalist said that the Democrats and Republicans succumbed to big money. That’s exactly what we are doing in Australia right now. Surely, we have the intelligence to look at the mistakes of others and do things differently. A gas tax would be a good start. 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 15/04/2026WTF. I flick on ABC from time to time. Last few days it’s just a Liberal whinging about migration and the govt. I thought we’d voted them out to the point of extinction. 010

The solution seems obvious to me, renewables, but the govt ( and opposition) see it as an opportunity to continue down the same path, and lead Australia to the same results as UK, USA. 000

Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I don’t expect Albanese to comment on “everything” Trump says. But… we can all see what’s happening and ministers constantly repeating the party line is very disconcerting and quite frankly infantilising Australians. 000
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Trump says, Trump says, Trump says… absolutely nothing. It’s about time Australian msm is a bit more expatiate about their coverage. 010
Bella @bella-anne70.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Summing up an economist on ABC this afternoon, he said the govt was giving people more money and the RBA wouldn’t be happy and would have to put interest rates up. Is that how it works. We just have to get less money(wages) have more unemployed to keep the RBA happy and lower interest rates. 000
