I increasingly feel that Shoebridge is a test for #Auspol that we haven't become too jaded that we can't recognise sincerity in politicians anymore. We see it in this guy and the Independents but not in partisan pollies. I hope we pass the test. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Move over, Hanson — Labor has a new thorn in its side
David Shoebridge wants to hold Labor's feet to the fire. He will be a thorn in the party's side rather than a deal maker.

2026. ATO. 27% of big Australian companies don’t pay income tax so the poor & working people must continue to sacrifice themselves on the ultra rich's altar of the economy & the market's cost of living crisis to keep the ultra right's inflation under control. 🤡 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lo_...

Senator Shoebridge has been the most effective federal Green for a long time now. He seems the natural leader. Senator Hodgins-May came within a few votes of winning my seat in Macnamara, smart and I reckon in touch with what Greens voters want. #AusPol #Greens

I'd be backing a David Shoebridge ticket for Greens leadership An outstanding Senator, highly visible and present for voters, willing to actually generate social media and put very strong positions on issues The progressive left have retreated but his leadership could change everything

The answer to "Does Israel have a right to exist?" Is NO. It was setup on stolen land given by one colonial invader to another and Genocide was their first action when they arrived. It has NEVER had a right to exist.

Ed Sheeran does provide a ‘safe space’ – for the billionaires who own him
Sheeran’s ‘political neutrality’ is a cover story – hiding an implicit deal. He’s allowed to grow rich, on condition he denies a platform to anyone trying to hold the billionaire class to account

When someone earns around a million bucks a year and they want to pursue a policy that will force more people onto unemployment benefits they’ll most often call that policy “taking the heat out of the jobs market”. Bastards. #AusPol

Sheeran still trying to both sides it, calling Palestine 'the most complex political issue on the planet'. It's *not* complicated and that bullshit stopped many of us seeing reality for years. In 2026, there's no excuse. We have all witnessed a government murdering children and gloating about it.

So basically the Albanese government’s position on AI data centres is that we can’t miss out on a ‘boom’ that will result in another fuckton or two of carbon emissions and slop, and take away lots of people’s jobs, but you might get a 12 month job helping to build one 👍🏻👍🏻

SO tired of the "it will create jobs" mantra to excuse every appalling development. Same with the universal excuse for demolishing thousands of acres of bushland habitat: "there's a housing crisis"...so no need for scrutiny or checks and balances and f**ck the future.
