Come future elections, can people please vote for independents or parties who will work for Australia, NOT the US; for individuals, NOT corporations; for politicians with evidence-based policies, NOT on an ideology. Because #Labor, #LNP, #OneNation are doing none of those things 😡

Given that AI has been scraping artistic content for some time now, in breach of copyright law - at least in Australia - and that our government is basically doing nothing to counter this, can we please have a class action lawsuit by Australian creatives? Anyone?

Wouldn’t it be nice if @albomp.bsky.social actively did things to tangibly raise the standard of living for average #Australians! e.g. don’t destroy #ndis, raise #centrelink benefits etc. Instead he panders to corporate donors, the very rich & other countries etc.

WHY ARE WE IN IRAN?
How many times can we “obliterate “ Iran’s nuclear capabilities?

How many years will Iran be “weeks away” from attacking the U.S.?

How many wars can Netanyahu get us into?

How many centuries will countries continue fighting religious wars?

How many trillions must be spent to feed the military industrial complex?

How many innocent men, women and children must be killed and displaced from their homes?

END THIS WAR NOW

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Journalists to Western leaders: are the attacks on Iran legal? Western leaders: let’s be clear, it’s a brutal regime that murders its own citizens, especially if they’re protesting the regime. That wasn’t the question, and nobody is debating how bad the Iranian regime is.

I don’t know whether there should be a Royal Commission into the #BondiMassacre; but surely it would be better to do so, just to take the politics out of it. But a Royal commission should have a broad scope that includes Islamophobia and other influences that may have contributed to this event.

I consider the #ALP, especially under @albomp.bsky.social, to be a #rightwing party with little in common with the #Labor of #GoughWhitlam. For left-wing voters like me, that means first-preferencing #Greens, #Independents or other minor left parties, with ALP marginally above #LNP & other crazies.
