Will #Australia’s E-Safety Commission IMMEDIATELY be taking out advertising in all major media publication, ABC, social platforms, SMS mobiles? Warning Australians META is taking their Instagram images? 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩⚠️‼️ www.wired.com/story/meta-n... #auspol #Ai @albomp.bsky.social @news.abc.net.au

Roberts is such a knuckle dragger.

House Judiciary Democrats released a 50+ page report detailing how 25 different women—some connected to Epstein—have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct. Doesn't even make the NYTimes homepage... democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Much of the intl reporting on the French protests has been doing my head in. Especially the Australian tendency to miss the point. So I was glad to write about what I saw firsthand at Place de la République last weekend. And have my photo published, too. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2026/10...

God this type of story is a throwback.

“Donald Trump said he ordered the justice department to file a lawsuit to block the certification of Alaska’s US Senate results if the Republican incumbent loses.” He’s going to try his best to steal the mid terms. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Australia’s wish for a kinder, gentler politics seems doomed to disappointment The attack on independent MP Helen Haines united Australia in grief, but on solutions it remains divided www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

When did humanity become a partisan issue? Life's too short. We have got to stop this crap in parliament and remove parliamentary privilege, racism is racism, no matter where you are. Sort out the misogyny while we are there.

Message to Australia’s media. If a man kills his wife and / or children, If a man rapes a woman or child, If a man attempts to murder or disfigure a woman or child, If a man drives a car into a female politician, WE DO NOT CARE IF HE WAS A ‘NICE’ BLOKE. WE DO NOT CARE IF HE PLAYED SPORT..

You know things are very broken when, fascists march openly, whilst aged pensioners protesting against genocide are man handled and arrested. #England #UK Worse still is watching it unfold across nations who 3 generations b4 fought against fascism, then faced horrors of genocide fascism did

The games played by the old Coalition are so blatant here. The new further Right coalition will be worse. MAGA politics is all support for the predator capitalists that exploit government settings. That is the kind of exploitation that has made the Plymouth Brethren 💵💵💵 LNP loves them back #auspol

I heard recently that WA Liberals have to get the Catholics in one section of Perth and the Happy Clappers in another section of Perth to make things happen. Is this stacked branches there too? #Auspol

Reportedly so billionaires and a trillionaire who want to be immortal. All whilst making it so very clear why, it’s VERY clear why this would be a VERY bad idea.

Australia’s former national carrier has been flogging rural and regional Australia, Elon Musk’s Sky Nazi satellite 🛰️ as NBN. Turns out Australia wasn’t listening to the warnings. Perhaps take a pause and look at what he’s done for Russia. His ego and greed is paid now with blood of Ukrainian

Does anyone know: Is there a product like the old Game Boy and game cartridges which don’t have internet capability ? Also an anything like iPod nano, or similar which doesn’t connect NOT have Wifi etc ? We are a house home which chose to disconnect.

wtf !

I agree with the female version🫶🏻

#auspol 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 LNP, ALP and PHON must all be binned.

A new poll has shown the Greens' vote is on the rise! The Greens are the most popular party with young people & ahead of their state election, the Victorian Greens are polling at record highs. People want change.

Are you anti abortion? Anti LGBTQI ? Hate migrants? Hate Muslims? Believe women are a subspecies to men? Congratulations. The billionaires, fascists, authorisations, fossil fuel industry, mining, tech bros are playing you. It’s called, ‘Divide et Impera’. It’s been used since Alexander the Great

Every anti-trans attack is a repeat of the homophobic attacks of the 1960s,70,80s. Every transphobe is a bigot. I have also yet to see a transphobe who is not also racist. The media's coverage of trans hate has been used to make all kinds of bigotry acceptable

Rental laws are absolute BS that are geared to benefit landlords and steal more $$$ from renters. A family member has managed to buy a house (yay!!!) but has to break their lease. They just received an email specifying they basically have to prop up the landlord until they can find a new tenant.

'Power is its own constituency. It exists to protect itself.' Authoritarianism sounds scary, but it arrives bit by bit. We're already doing the work for some grim future. Will be talking about this and more at Sydney Opera House's Curious program this Sunday. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/28/r...

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

#auspol WT !

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

"Can someone explain why – in an economy in which the central bank has decided we need almost 700,000 people to be unemployed – those people live in such dreadful poverty that it can make you up to 10 times more likely to die in the prime of your life?" www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

If you think I've been too harsh on the Queensland government & media lately, just wait till you hear from Queenslander women. They have enough to deal with on a daily basis. They don't have time for any BS. Queenslander women keep us blokes around for a few things. #qldpol

I would rather see a passenger rail network across #Tasmania, light rail in Hobart, Launceston and Devonport - including to SPOT and Airports. I’d rather see an integrated, properly funded and public owned transport system and social housing than Data Centres and completely unnecessary AFL stadium

If we were not wasting shitloads of taxpayers’ hard earned on obsolete, unnecessary AUKUS we could afford all the really good things like: free education, healthcare, agedcare, NDIS, ABC, CSIRO, housing for all, First Nations, women & girls, DV & VAW, renewable energy for all, NBN, climate action…
