Albo says that we need to turn down the heat in politics. I suggest starting with a ministerial code of conduct. The APS have a code of conduct. It’s time that ALL politicians are help to a higher standard.

The US pulled its bombers out of Britain. Is Australia asking why? The US pulled all its bombers out of RAF Fairford this month. Weeks earlier, B-52s landed in the Northern Territory. youtube.com/shorts/y7Rxb... #auspol #AUKUS #Australia #defence

While the 2,500 jobs cuts are horrific enough for the workers and their families, worse still is the commentary that this is due to increased use of AI. The productivity “benefits” of AI are about cutting jobs and raising profits rather than living standards for Australians.

"To suggest “this is not us” as some commentators are – as if politically motivated violence is an exclusively international phenomenon – is naive. Trumpism and everything it has enabled, social media and everything it has exploited, including populism and extremism across the spectrum, .."

Independent MP Helen Haines is critically injured after an alleged car attack. Calls say this should be a turning point, but threats against MPs have surged for years. Our politics needs a reset. #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2026/10/20/h...

Liberal Leader Angus Taylor says he's "deeply saddened" by the attack on Indi MP Helen Haines. Just 6 days ago, in the HoR QT, Liberal MP Angie Bell called for the PM and Small Bus. Min. Anne Aly to be "stoned in the square". A vile dangerous remark. His Party is part of the problem. 😠 #auspol

Just out of spite And cash in brown paper bags QLD govt is both corrupt and insane

Ditto. I hate the LNP/One Nation for what they are, but I utterly despise @australianlabor.bsky.social for what they're not.

A third of 4,000+ companies on the ATO’s latest tax data paid no tax. News Corp’s Aussie arm: 12 years, not a cent of corporate tax. Who’s paying their fair share? #auspol michaelwest.com.au/which-compan...

This demonstrates much that's wrong with Labor politics [and media reporting it]: Unquestioning loyalty is framed as "discipline". Alternative views are "complaints". This has delivered us: - the stupidity of #AUKUS - complicity in a genocide, and - 'reform' that's put donors before people. #auspol

Anyone able to attest to whether Plymouth is a “pass through” operation for political donations from outsiders? #Auspol

Marles calls AI data centres a "historic opportunity" – rolling out in months, in "remote places". Asked about military AI safeguards, he sidestepped. Australians deserve answers before we build. #auspol ritajabrimarkwell.substack.com/p/marles-put...

The USA is so broken it will never be repaired. And a reminder, Richard Marles believes we need to have even stronger defence ties with the USA because of our "shared values"
