The Greens aren't proposing we send arms to Hamas to fight Israel - although that seems both more useful and righteous than sending weapons to Ukraine. They have a consistent position: don't involve yourself in other people's wars and use non-violent means against actors violating Int laws.

Allowing Open AI to call these “rogue agents” lets them dodge responsibility - they made them, directed them and set them free without caring about the consequences. Our laws need to catch up to hold them accountable before worse happens.

Imagine how this would be reported if it was one of our state's enemies criminalising protest. When it's us, the ABC has so many euphemisms for 'repressive crackdown on free speech' #auspol

Sam Altman: "My dog has shit in your yard. In fact, it turns out it has been shitting there for several months. The fence I built for it does not have a bottom rung, which it appears is key to keeping the dog in our garden. Thanks for your help in cleaning up as we investigate how this happened!"

Other people's addictions are always puzzling. My work neighbour is trying to quit online shopping and tk maxx. Two things I thoroughly dislike.
Calendar with half the days crossed off and the heading: no online shopping or TK Maxx

The PM's never met a billionaire he didn't love, never mind that this particularly fascist one is fresh from threatening to “annihilate” Iran and banning the press from the White House.

I find it strange how we tend to think popularity contests are a bad way to run anything and then think they are the only way to run government.

Or the idea that Australia is leading the world in regulating tech and protecting children when we have allowed US firms like palantir into the heart of our government and can't seem to put a single restriction on data centre construction. Who is falling for this?

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09... the framing here that China's veto power is a block to peaceful conflict resolution is wildly fantastical propaganda. The US is constantly at war and uses the largest military in the world to project power. How many wars is China currently fighting? #auspol

There's been an option better than the ALP in every election i have voted in. No perfect candidates but it's pretty easy not to vote for the duopoly.

Labor unveils migration cuts targeting students, backpackers and overstayers

I don't think you'll be able to find a credible graph to support your hypothesis. It's worth a deep dive before sharing the type of opinion that promotes conservative ideology

I wish more Australians realised that the main role of police is doing state violence to uphold prevailing systems of power. They are always the enemy of the people.

This is true but they have fallen into the trap Labor set of appearing sensible and pragmatic, not blockers. The canberra bubble pushes you to measure your effectiveness by legislation passed or committees run or clever questions asked. Not "have you built a movement"?

ALP refuses to do a heap of popular leftist things it could do because it is enmeshed with big corporations and the US state department. That is why we are vulnerable to the PHON-shite and that's why lefties are gonna hate the ALP.

Campus free speech on Palestine was the real casualty
A people’s tribunal has found that Australian universities restricted free speech and academic freedom on Palestine, even as vice chancellors apologised for not doing more to police protest.
