I just jumped over from Elon's disaster because I'm really over all the Trumpies and Hanson nutjobs but now I have no one to poke shit at. Everyone appears sane.

Socceroo Awer Mabil torches Pauline Hanson’s “monoculture” idea “It’s all bullshit” 🔥 Says multiculturalism makes Australia the best country in the world. “If anybody’s trying to divide that, then they’re probably not Australian themselves.” 💥

Yeah, listening to the questions was infuriating. The most the federal govt. has to do with this related to how ASIO and ASIS have stupendous budgets and powers and missed the radicalisation in this group. Our gun laws are obviously too weak. Lifetime licence to shoot but driving needs renewal.

Thrilling to see a (brave) ABC journalist scrutinising Trump’s corruption. Trump’s reaction shows you a nerve has been hit. Too often media shy away from these tough questions because of Trump’s bullying. We should all stand up for journalists willing to be watchdogs! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

So, bumfluff Paterson is upset and having a sook because he doesn't know what happened at the Trump Rudd meeting in Florida in January. Actually, nunya mate. You're not in government and probably never will be.

I didn't go to Hawaii during bushfires. I didn't start robodebt, I didn't shit myself at Maccas or piss my pants at the footy. I didn't give myself 5 portfolios secretly, and I'm not a happy clapping supporter of Hillsong. Shit, I'm going to get a Knighthood.

So the Libs released their costings today. Deficits for a few years, bolstering the economy by sacking 41,000 people and raising taxes. And that was without a cent for nuclear, which Littleproud said they'd start from day 1. That should do the trick, eh?

Stayed indoors because of pretty constant rain this am. I should have turned the telly off. @abcnews had Speers, Norman, Kervalas, and Greber on a special edition of the 'Peter Dutton says' show. The sycophancy was palpable.

Revealed in the Adelaide chronicle and shared by @sedvitae.bsky.social exposes obscene difference between pension increases and politicians pay rises. Pensioners $4/fnight or 0.5%. Pollies $8000 or 3%, $310/fnight. Albanese and Chalmers need to do better.

Australians are waking up to the giant scam the gas industry has been operating: 🟠 Draining Australia of gas: exporting over 80% of Australia’s gas 🟠 Getting over half the gas they export royalty free 🟠 Never paying PRRT on the gas they export 🟠 Price gouging us for our own gas

The only people Dutton is working for are those who can afford to attend $25,000 a head fundraisers. If that’s not you, Dutton’s not on your side. It’s not rocket science!

If Trump refuses to continue supporting Ukraine, he is actually enabling Putin. One must ask oneself what is it the the Russian President has on him.

“Promising to reduce the size of the public service is a cheap political stunt.” New research shows that sacking public servants actually costs the country a fortune, as public jobs are replaced by consultants, contractors and labour hire workers. New research from @futurework.org.au #auspol

Cutting the public service saves nothing
Reducing the size of Australia’s public service is often characterised as a way to save the country money and make government departments more efficient.

It's important that every voter in Australia understand what a moron Dutton is & that he only wants to serve Gina, fill his own & the neoliberal's pockets.... with our money. Please repost this as far & wide as you can to bring it to everyone's attention. LNP cannot ever govern again.

Couldn't build a carpark. the cost of Snowy 2.0 tripled to $12b, Barnaby"s $8b for inland rail has blown out to $30b, and Dutton reckons he can build 7 full scale nuclear plants for $300b. It's a complete conjob to keep coal and gas.

Australians don't want to pay the high cost of having nuclear power. Our research found just 4% would be willing to add over $500 to their energy bills to have nuclear in the mix. Nuclear would lift power bills for households by $665 per year, IEEFA found. #auspol

Nat Barr on Sunrise this morning saying Centrelink rises are too low. For months, they've been condemning the government for spending on cost of living help, saying they're fuelling inflation. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Dutton’s nothing more than a Fossil Fuel lackey and useful idiot for oligarchs like Murdoch& Rinehart who see Trump’s win as a path for the Far Right here in AUS Dutton’s got no policies, no vision, no leadership; just cheap political distraction tactics& NewsCorp’s spin cycle AUS deserves better

Peter Dutton is a toxic, divisive, hateful person who uses fear and confusion as a political weapon. He’s trying to keep his ‘No’ campaign against the Voice alive. Not content with the division and hate he’s already caused, he’s searching for new ways to destroy respect and reconciliation. Shame!

Federal government subsidises to renewable are around $22b, and renewables now account for half of our energy supply. Remainder of renewable cost is from private investment. Dutton and Gina's nuclear plan will cost around $600b and take 20 years to deliver and is taxpayer funded.

It seems increasingly plausible that the two major parties did a deal in designing the NACC to exonerate senior politicians, rather than hold them accountable. Brereton's flailing, mealy-mouthed excuses only lend further weight to this perception. As it stands, the NACC is a No Hit Wonder. #auspol
