I am not sure you could come up with a worse put down of the Liberal front bench than James Paterson saying "Angus is the smartest policy brain in the shadow cabinet”

This is obviously not any sort of apology to the Muslim community. This is in fact directly offensive, and a deliberate provocation.
I asked why the Albanese Government hasn't rejected Trump's invitation to join his so-called "Board of Peace."
The UK, France, New Zealand, Germany & others have refused to join, because it is cooked.
Minister Wong says Labor is still considering the invite. What's to consider?
If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip.

Shame on them bringing politics into music, really tarnishing the RATM and Boss legacies with this woke nonsense
Housing shouldnt be a tax strategy for the wealthy.
The revelation that the Forestry Corporation of NSW is proposing to log a cloud forest in southern NSW, teeming with threatened species, is another reminder of the spiralling decline of the native forest logging industry

Make no mistake: the changes the Liberals made with Labor on the hate speech laws make them worse. Hear me explain just some of the impacts here.
Dan Jervis-Bardy what - precisely - are we supposed to get from a RC? Some diatribe about antisemitism? Haven't we just had a PRETTY BLOODY EXPENSIVE REPORT FROM A SPECIAL ENVOY WHO SUPPOSEDLY INVESTIGATED THIS VERY THING?
Or is it just the vibe Dan?

Happy all the things, lovelies. Squeeze those you love (including the four legged ones) tight. It’s a hard time of year for lots of people, for lots of reasons and this year is even harder - but you’re not alone. Sending love. Take care of you and those around you. Happy Kucios 🩷
Wish there were still TV programmmes interviewing French critical theorists
Coercive control laws will only serve to get more women arrested as long as police like this are promoted.
Heading into estimates and was wondering what the group noun is for consultants?
A theft? A robbery? A misdirection?
We created a system that turns being poor into a crime. Here is the blueprint of how we did it—and how we dismantle it 👇 buff.ly/j8qVnPU #poor #auspol #welfare
Barnaby Joyce unable to cope goes bonkers on #abc730 with desperate attempt to avoid answering, only to find himself in yet another train wreck
Joyce “This is sounding very Trumpian by you. I’m not Zelenskyy ok?”🤔
Ferguson “This is not a conversation about Tomahawk missiles”💥
Jesus wept! Is this peak gas industry shitfuckery?!...
Boss of EPA in the NT has a side hustle with lobbyists for fossil fuel companies.

No arse too dirty to kiss. #auspol
Labor has just blown any enviro credentials they may've had by approving final step in the biggest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere. A betrayal & disastrous for the future of our 🌎. We can't protect our planet while we are digging and burning new fossil fuels.
The combination of bloodless corporate managerialism by uni execs and a do-nothing Albanese govt is killing Australia’s university sector.
The initial smear was bad enough. The attempt to hide it was utterly reprehensible.
Why did the @sydmorningherald.bsky.social let Knott completely rewrite the story to correct his embarrassing "stuff up" & claim it had merely been "updated"?
And why is #Insiders not interrogating this properly?
I feel an episode of MediaWatch needs to do a deep dive on this bs.
Heads across media need to roll.
Making shit up is not acceptable anymore.
#MediaWatch #auspol
It’s time!
For that Media Royal Commission!
Get it done @albomp.bsky.social
Now.
We have started the week with a debate on the "Defence Housing Australia Amendment Bill 2025" - a bill that seeks to build public housing for US troops. How on earth can this be Labor's priority this week!?
Economic round table recycles broken ideas https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/economic-round-table-recycles-broken-ideas/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=economic-round-table-recycles-broken-ideas #Auspol
We so need Corbyn's party in Australia. If they had the majority this mob have they'd definitely make lives better for the majority. Meanwhile Labor (brand name) tinker at the edges to appear like they're reforming when they're actually doing nothing of significance. It's so disappointing #auspol
This is 125 million people in a sustained heatwave, most of them in urban heat sinks where unless you have AC the housing stock is particularly terrible for these conditions.
The govt will love this, so always remember - the LNP are irrelevant. Being “better” than the LNP is also irrelevant.

This is very silly from Zoe Daniel. What is "productivity growth" in the care sector exactly and how do we measure it (or for that matter services generally)? How should, for example, the MSO increase productivity? Play the Mozart faster? Put on the Mahler without the woodwind section?
