Here’s a question: how does everyone feel about P-Hans’ being “bloody good friends” with a Neo-Nazi? #auspol

Van Badham @vanbadham.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

A huge fucking thank you to this fucking guy for fucking with every single Australian in the mortgage belt and fuck you Gina Rinehart for supporting him.

The AI companies want to gobble up Australia’s creative properties for free - so APRA AMCOS (who handle Australian music licensing) are demanding an urgent study by the govt to establish the value of those properties. Every sovereign economy should do the same. www.apraamcos.com.au/about-us/new...

Latest episode of our podcast The Week on Wednesday is a discussion with UK Labour activist and (unicorn) Labour gain in the recent UK council elections, Peter Marshall - about the terrifying parallels about what’s going there and in Australia. #auspol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/t...

I believe it is relevant to the discussion that all these dudes are unfuckable monsters.

I recorded a punk single with Brisbane band The Dog Trackers and it’s about a night in Japan that my life went completely to shit. It is $20 on vinyl, get in. bit.ly/4bHAmL1

If Agent Orange here had ever attended university, she’d may have gained the experience of a) HELPING other students to learn English and b) learning HOW to learn a language, which helps *them* later on. This is in addition to powerful cultural relationships formed (Meme: @tomredmemes.bsky.social)

Last episode of our podcast The Week on Wednesday, in which Emma Dawson from Chifley Research and I go holus bolus on the “economic policy” of a political party that thinks one is a 9 minute video, not even joking, #auspol: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/t...

Some personal news: somehow, I am releasing a punk EP called “Sendai Gold” with Aboriginal-fronted, PROUDLY MULTICULTURAL Brisbane punk rock / boss reggae band, The Dog Trackers. It’s being released by Splurt records on gorgeous vinyl, stay very tuned for Brisbane and maybe even Melbourne launch…

Credit where it’s due: this slogan came from a commenter on a previous post. It was too good not to give the full graphic treatment and release into the world.

It’s why punishment must come. It must come hard, with pain, and humiliation, and loss. We must break him before all humanity, as a warning, as a lesson, as a moral for the world.

I am past the point of “suspecting” that leftists insisting that Democrats are somehow do-nothing-cowards when AGAIN AND AGAIN you have Dems like Andy Kim on the pickets, at the protests, being gassed, assaulted and arrested: I CONVINCED anyone running Dems down is a weaponised moron for Trumpism.

Van Badham @vanbadham.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

You know how Trump could escape the allegation that he was barred from entering the Bahamas because he’s a sex offender? By releasing the full, unredacted Epstein files and clearing his name. He could not that right now.

This image REALLY WAS posted from Trump’s “Truth Social” account and, fortunately, the bible itself reminds everyone that when a “man of lawlessness” drunk on earthly power declares himself a god, he is defeated by the combined force of everyone who sticks with the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2, nerds.

To everyone who is heralding the AMAZING victory over Orban in Hungary tonight; dare Magyar ever start to backslide into Orbanism, I made this handy tool to predict his fate: it maps the fascist collapse of Orban’s FACE onto Magyar’s, as a warning. Good luck, beautiful DEMOCRATIC, EUROPEAN Hungary.

This is an extraordinarily cut-through comment in the wake of the BRS charges that appeared on my Facebook page and I urge every Australian to read it. #auspol

I particularly love this pissed off blonde woman in linen slacks. If she is hitting the streets, Trumpism is toast.

It’s March 28, 2026 - and all the way from our regional town of Ballarat in Victoria, Australia, we are sending our love and solidarity to our friends protesting Trumpism at the No Kings protests around the world today. Also pictured: what Trump’s war in Iran is doing to the Australian economy.

The production of Larry Kramer’s “The Normal Heart” at @sydneytheatreco.bsky.social right now is magnificent. Go see it, don’t waste the opportunity. I cried like a child, but left the theatre with hope. And the performances are beautiful.

Given the Epstein file revelations that Steve Bannon was familiar with Clive Palmer & claimed to be politically advising him, here’s me on FB in 2019 discussing the #auspol “death tax” hoax pushed by Palmer and its AMAZING SIMILARITIES to campaigns run for Trump: www.facebook.com/share/p/1DVU...

Van Badham @vanbadham.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

This observation by Marx was shared by @kjhealy.co to describe the “thirsty academics” gathered around Epstein, but it’s a neat encapsulation of the Trumpian political allure. How many videos have we seen of non-ideological Trump voters insist “the great businessman” would heal their economic woe?
