The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

It may be possible to shame crooked and hypocritical politicians out of power. Albo has gone from tricky to despicable. At least in my eyes. And I suspect also a large majority of #Auspol

Australia is losing $45 billion a year in potential revenue by not taxing our resource exports. That's extra billions for schools, hospitals, housing, cost of living relief, and the transition to clean, secure energy. It's a no-brainer. Gas tax. Now. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

This is an incredibly dangerous precedent and confirms all the dangers of AUKUS - wargaming Australia as the base for a US war with China - and us even paying for it. We need to end AUKUS before this becomes real.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - this is getting confusing. Time to tell the Australian people whose side we are supposed to be on: Ukraine's? Or Trump & Putin's? And then explain how having dozens of US bases on Australian soil - or Australian military bases controlled by the US - makes us more secure?

The NeverSubs -the absolute worst most blatant Ponzi scheme in history, with the greasy pawprints of the shameless grifter Morrison all over it. Its real value to Marles? His ticket to a lucrative post-politics gig with an arms manufacturer.

Peggy Sanders@peggysanders.bsky.social

Peter Briggs: A Ponzi scheme relies on early investors putting up hard cash to sustain structure built on non-existent or undeliverable assets. The scheme survives only as long as capital keeps flowing and no participant calls time on underlying insolvency. pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

Every single fucking day, Trump gives Albanese an excellent excuse to start to break the US hold on Australia's sovereignty. And every single day he fails the test. Utter insanity. @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

The Greens are a party of peace & non-violence. We stand with people in Australia & around the world calling for an end to this genocide. Permanent ceasefire. And end to occupied Palestine. Unconditional aid access. Prosecution of war crimes. An end to the two-way arms trade.

Norway has removed all of its $2tn Investment Fund from Israel linked banks, as it continues its policy of BDS against Israel. Well done Norway.

I will not repost such horrific videos. But it really is past time that Australia's prime minister should show some moral leadership and stand up to Trump, and call out his dangerously psychopathic behavior for what it is. #auspol

The fighting is pretty bad, but what is terrifying is that there are still so many Yanks rabidly supporting that fat orange fuck Trump will be gone one day, but these fucking horrible people are the putrid heart of America. Our only hope is complete disconnection from this toxic culture. #auspol

holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

In the last 48 hours, Trump has invented an energy ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, pretended that much of this year’s energy price surge is not because of his reckless war on Iran and cut a side deal to funnel billions to Russia for sanctioned diesel. Not a friend. End AUKUS.

Every Single Day, Trump gives Albo a compelling reason to start breaking ties. This one is massive; but will be ignored again. The US funding Russia to support the war against Ukraine. #auspol

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

So pathetic, after a lifetime plotting and conniving in politics arriving at the pinnacle of his profession PM Albanese has only a meek acceptance of subservience to corporations, Israel and the USA and expects us to understand this as the inevitable status quo…I don't.

Bad enough that successive Australian governments have outsourced our defence and foreign policy to the US. But with Trump and Hegseth in charge, the 'alliance' [aka Australia giving up its sovereignty] is a huge threat to our national security. #EndAUKUS #auspol

End AUKUS. The US military is destabilizing the world and spreading violence, all headed by a bunch of Trump's true weirdos fighting culture wars.

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...

Apparently PM Anthony Albanese is concerned David Shoebridge wants the Greens to replace Labor. Given the Albanese Labor Govt no longer upholds ANY "Labor values" and actively supports Israel's genocide, Albo should be concerned. As a long-term Labor supporter, the Greens have my vote. #auspol

Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to tax gas? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to build public housing? Why doesn't Labor work with the Greens to end AUKUS? Greens are happy to be constructive about things that materially benefit the public. We are not a rubber stamp.

Defence Minister Richard Marles is oblivious to that which is obvious to everybody else: Britain cannot deliver our future #AUKUS subs on schedule (if at all). Luckily for Richard, it’s only our money and national security that’s at stake. #auspol

johnmenadue.comWhy Britain cannot deliver SSN-AUKUS on scheduleBritain says SSN-AUKUS remains on track. But its shipyards are already stretched while new reactor and workforce capacity is still being built. Australia is betting heavily on that gap being closed in...

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

Australia's trend unemployment rate has risen from 4% to 4.6% in two years and is still rising, yet the RBA is persisting in raising cash rates because of a global oil shock. It is ideological madness and it must be close to pitchfork time.
