No Nation confirms that Australian politics is still The Labour Movement vs The Rest The anti worker, anti wage increase, anti taxing multinational corporations, anti equality, anti Australia parties are finally admitting that their work together against the government, workers & the people

There’s been a hugely positive and supportive response to us getting The Week on Wednesday #podcast back on the air. Except for that last comment which seems a little..unhinged.

The “fuel crisis” is nonsense Oil has been up to 86% MORE expensive on at least THREE occasions in my lifetime There is no shortage of fuel, just of scruples The Coalition & the grievance grifters are making people scared for no good reason, just for their own politics & cash

We need to stop thinking that all our experiences are the “average” experience Sometimes it will be more & sometimes less 2025 saw a RECORD number of new cars sold 2026 has already surpassed 200,000 sales Australia is thriving, while some are struggling Which is why we need Labor’s tax reforms

Too many Australians have given up on the idea of us being the “laid back, easy going worker’s paradise down under” Ironically it seems to be the ones who have the most rose coloured view of the past who are first to lick the bosses boots, horde toilet paper & panic buy petrol…

The global far right, funded by nepo baby & elitist tech billionaires, are trying to undermine Australian democracy One Nation are not helping anyone They are fear mongers in the pocket of Australia’s richest nepo baby, funded by fascists Why? We are a successful multicultural, social democracy

The wealth & power of the richest 3,000 households has increased by more than 500% They are squeezing the rest of us through higher prices, manipulating supply, influencing political & regulatory processes This is the source of our economic crisis in the West Don’t be fooled by grifters & haters

This Liberal Party happy snap is giving real vibes of: “We’ve decided to all be a happy family, it’s just that your dad here is going to live in the city apartment while we live in the house with all of our things.” Worst. Leadership. “Team”. Ever.

Remember when the United States flooded war materials into the UK & Soviet Union to fight fascism? And remember when the fascists decided to team up against the USA so this guy was sent to end them? That’s the USA the world respected.

“We’re drowning in these unskilled people” says unqualified high school dropout who uses the inherited wealth of a uni dropout to maintain her own seat in the senate. Hanson makes a point, just not the one she thinks she’s making…

I’m over delusional “free market” Americans claiming “capitalism is the only political ideology that doesn’t kill people!” Comrade, your capitalism is killing 45,000 citizens every year just to allow corporations to profit from medical treatments Who knows how many die for profit in other areas?

Instead of this Howard gave our mineral wealth to Gina & Clive who used that wealth to pay for right wing political campaigns & animatronic dinosaurs And they still want Australians to work on “African wages” & be able to deny workers their entitlements This 👇is soooo much better

Believe it or not this is an improvement from where it was under former Coalition Energy Minister, Angus Taylor, who allowed us to have as little as “19 to 24” days of petrol while outsourcing our strategic reserves to THE UNITED STATES Literally half a world away, on the other side of the PACIFIC!

People say Australia has a “productivity problem” when in reality we have “mining dependency” A simple Google search returned the below information We have a problem with capital not being invested in the diversity of industries needed to weather downturns in mining demand Tariffs haven’t helped…

I hope you enjoyed your #auspol democracy day Only 6.6% of the world is in a “full democracy”. Australia is one of those precious few Less than half (45%) the world lives in any sort of democracy What we have is special I participated across Hawke & Ballarat (where I’m from) How about you?

Labor created more jobs, more small businesses, lifted wages, created new laws to stop price gouging, made wage theft illegal, created job security laws & is funding TAFE, education & early childhood Dutton’s Coalition wants to go back to wage cutting, job smashing & small businesses going under

@thekouk.bsky.social nails it on petrol Petrol prices are LOWER than when Labor won the election Dutton’s Coalition have a sugar hit policy that won’t make any lasting change whereas Labor has & is pushing prices down by stopping profiteering & creating real alternatives Don’t risk Dutton #auspol

Why does US big pharma want to break the PBS? Big pharma charges more than FOURTEEN as much for chronic condition treatment in the US than we allow in Australia Why is Trump backing big Pharma? He doesn’t want Americans to ask why everyone else gets cheaper meds & they pay for pharma’s greed

Australians are $1,000,000,000 better off since Labor was elected and scammers are worse off since Dutton was removed from government Don’t risk Dutton #auspol

Trump dares to try telling Australians we can’t do research on gender issues while his spiritual advisor is being arrested for molesting a 12 year old? Trump is a filthy bigoted grifter I’d sooner burn every American dollar than have that empty headed orange excuse for a man dictate to us #auspol

Dutton’s record on national security is awful In government he failed to; -Launch a single submarine or frigate -Enforce his random identity checks on the Australian public -Stop billions in corrupt & shonky contracts -Prevent a record number of terror attacks Don’t risk Dutton #auspol

The table shows that the peak number of terrorist incidents in Australia was in 2016? 2015 and 2014 with 9,7 and 8 respectively

On the day JD Vance insulted the European spirit of liberty we visited the statue of Hannie Schaft, a Dutch teenage trade unionist & socialist who gave her life killing fascists during the occupation of Haarlem. Trump, Musk & Putin don’t realise who they are messing with…

The United States is not democracy’s leader, it is barely democracy’s friend It is a petty nation of uneducated reactionaries, afraid of the world & each other Roosevelt made it the “arsenal of democracy”, it avoided damage to its industry & it became an economic giant It has since been reverting

I support democracy, I support Ukraine As we await Trump pulling the USA out of the coalition of democracies to help Putin now is the time for all of us to give what we can The EU has a page to help get the money to the people who most need it commission.europa.eu/topics/eu-so...

When TemuTrump Dutton is critical of Australia’s defence capabilities it is worth remembering that it takes AT LEAST FIVE YEARS to build a submarine and that he was a SENIOR NATIONAL SECURITY MINISTER for 12 YEARS during which time he launched ZERO subs & frigates But spent BILLIONS! #auspol

Labor’s economic miracle! While other developed countries have seen unemployment go up, wages come down, inflation still out of control, debt spiralling and services being cut, in Australia Labor has delivered more jobs, wage increases, lower debt, tax cuts & MORE SERVICES!

Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers is wearing high viz and smiling with other people wearing high viz. Beneath them is written “Under Labor: inflation down, wages down, unemployment down, debt down, interest rates cut”

“The best balanced option products were all industry super funds with board members from trade unions” When Conservatives trash “Union super” (which is profit to member super) remember that according to independent ratings agencies funds with people like us do better than funds with just bankers

Albo announces the largest investment in Australian schools in well over a decade, on top of the early childhood education, fee-free TAFE & student debt relief, so naturally the Press Club asks him about almost anything else Regardless, delivering for every child makes me proud to be Labor #auspol

Sorry friend but Palestine has never had a democratic government. It wasn’t independent until 1948, even then it became known as Israel. Its inclusion as part of a “two state solution” was generated later during decolonisation This is from a pro-Palestinian organisation

In terms of action on climate change the pictures tell the story But if you want some words try -Labor approved 0 new coal mines in 2024 -Labor has funded the Snowy scheme -The entry price of an EV has dropped below $30k under Labor -Labor set up a transition authority
