Voters prefer Hanson as PM. Are they prepared for her to run the country?
According to the latest Resolve Political Monitor, that’s exactly what they are asking for.

Great news for lovers of community radio. Today, UTS (in Sydney) confirmed they'll commit to ongoing funding for 2SER-FM. It's in a diminished form, so there's more work to be done, but it survives. WOO HOOO Thank you for all your support so far. Go independent media! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Sydney community radio to avoid axe under reduced capacity model
The 46-year-old Sydney community radio institution was facing closure after around half its core funding was withdrawn late last year by Macquarie University.

TOXIC TAXES. There’s an LNP hack in a high rise office somewhere feeling as proud as punch and a clever boy for thinking up such clever alliteration. Hang in there folks. You’re going to hear it a lot. Drink.

Sam Mostyn is a remarkable woman. If we have to have a GG then there is no one finer for the role. Her wisdom and calm sincerity is a balm in these dreadful times. Pity the same can’t be said about some of our other leaders.

This election campaign is pretty depressing in terms of the vision being presented for our country. But Dutton rolling out his 20-year-old son to ppl to pretend that he, Dutton the Dad, ‘gets’ how hard it is for parents watching their kids struggle - WHEN HE’S A MULTIMILLIONAIRE is so gross

Climate change is a huge environmental and societal problem. Climate change is not the only environmental and societal problem. For those journalists and media outlets that still seem to not get this, we’re in the midst of a biodiversity extinction crisis. It’s a global existential crisis.

Dutton’s statement today tries to suggest Net Migration under him will be 100,000 less than under Labor but without specifying an actual target for 25-26 or 26-27 or the policies to get to that target. Treating Aussies like mugs.

30 min of Peter Dutton’s budget reply and no plan for wages or to support wage rises. You can’t address cost of living without a plan for wages. His only policy is cutting rights, jobs and a vision for young ppl to get extra shifts at the pub servicing business ppl lunches

Thinking of those bracing for TC Alfred. Climate change = more intense cyclones further south The major parties have ignored the risks we’re facing & investment in adaptation has been inadequate We need leadership to protect the people & places we love www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Is climate change supercharging Tropical Cyclone Alfred as it powers towards Australia?
Cyclone Alfred formed in the Coral Sea towards the end of February when sea surface temperatures were almost 1C hotter than usual

Dutton’s Smokescreen Insurance A vote for Peter Dutton’s Liberal Party is a vote for more inaction on climate AND cost-of-living. Proof? His unwillingness to address the real reasons your insurance premiums are rising.

Today I had a meeting with 4 other Indigenous women; all from remote communities; all with psych degrees. A moment that needs to be acknowledged. This is the “new Aboriginal” & the world better get used to it. We are no longer the “support act” to the psychologist; we ARE the psychologist #ArmyBuilt

What a waste of human potential. They had reformed and were changed men who were used by the authorities as a deterrent. The death penalty is a simple response to a massively complex issue and it doesn’t work. I met M and A when they were little. Young faces with their lives ahead of them.
