I didn’t expect much from Labor and they’ve delivered it.

In the next breath they’re railing up against immigrants. They seem to hate everyone except the hateful.

This government is a shocker. Better than the LNP but not by much. They deserve a blowtorch.

It’s holding the Government to account, as it should.

Country town noticeboards are the worst for nutters but I feel an obligation to counter bullshit with fact checker sites so they don’t sway more fence sitters.

"The party of Hawke and Keating has turned into the party of Richard Marles.....Albanese and his cabinet are managers, not leaders, and not good managers either." Hope those newly elected Labor politicians have a good hard look at what they're now party to. #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2026/07/23/l...

In government but not in power: Something has gone badly wrong for Labor
While it is electorally dominant, there's a cloud over Labor as the faithful gather in Adelaide for its annual conference. The party of Hawke and Keating has turned into the party of Richard Marles.

I support a gas tax but we don’t need a plebiscite, which just kicks the can down the road. Crazy idea.

Richard Marles on SBS discussing how he & his mate "Pete" are committed to a "rules-based order", which apparently includes murdering 200 people in the eastern Pacific ocean, kidnapping state leaders in South America & launching unilateral wars at the behest of war criminals. Shame on him. And us.

Remind me again what was the point of electing a Labor government that's further to the right than Fraser was? I imagine there's gambling money involved in this decision as well?

Environment minister and stooge for Albo, Murray Watt, just signed a document to destroy Brisbane's biggest city park. Victoria Park was gazetted in 1875, for the benefit of the people. It has immense importance for Aboriginal people, and for the environment. Gone, with just one signature #auspol
The Minister for Low IQs, Murray Watt, will do anything Albo tells him to do.

Albo’s pretty poor at selling policies. How did he get to be leader.? It feels like Kevin Rudd all over again - good ideas but no connection with the public.

#auspol Pauline Hanson & One Nation succeeds only because they create permission for racist, transphobic bigots, stupid deniers & other RWNJ to be proud of their unAustralian hatred & ignorance. Like MAGA it is a cult attracting the worst of society.

Sadly it won’t make much difference to young people now that they’re stuck in the gig economy, paying exorbitant rents and are burdened by massive student debt.

While she doesn’t have much influence in Government she’s managed to make overt racism ‘acceptable’ and that is having a huge impact on our country.

theshot.net.au/uncategorize... @ronnisalt.bsky.social you have Marles measure: “This is the sort of fantasy thinking that has elevated Richard Marles to the Defence Minister’s position instead of his natural resting place of selling investment Ponzi schemes through a suburban accountant’s office.”
