Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal-funded disinformation network “Advance” is now attacking one of the nation’s best and most respected journalists, over doing his job and pointing out the bleeding obvious regarding Israel and the US.

This is where we are, Australia’s MAGA.

He and Thiel are true real life Bond villains. @albomp.bsky.social and his govt are all in with destroying society and giving these maniacs more power and more of our data.

No Australian PM has ever betrayed his citizenry like this.

The old adage “The first casualty of war is truth” fits neatly into the war with Iran.

AUKUS is sinking and Labor responds by making up a $30 billion un-budgeted AUKUS announceable for the SA State election. This stuff is straying so far from reality.

Against a backdrop of huge Defence acquisition failures, but more money being allocated to Defence spending, the Labor controlled Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit has resolved that the Auditor-General is to stop auditing Defence’s major projects.🤦‍♂️ #auspol

It is remarkable what Anthropic is getting away with everywhere in the world. In these responses they say they'll match their US approach

So: disclose nothing on emissions and energy, and beg the government to build new fossil gas infrastructure?

TY @davidpocock.bsky.social for challenging them

Millions in tax-deductible donations to IDF, illegal settlements - Michael West JNF an Australian charity with $200 million in donations is ignoring international law, siphoning money to the IDF and illegal settlements

I sent this link to @aleighmp.bsky.social yesterday, asking if anything is being done about JNF donations. Unlikely I'll hear back. Comms isn't this government's strongest point.

Labor’s new anti-asylum bill hands god-like powers to ministers Refugee rights organisations say a new Labor bill gives three ministers extraordinary powers to prevent people fleeing a conflict zone from seeking asylum in Australia. Pip Hinman reports.

In 2022 the new Labor Govt granted asylum to Biloela's Priya & Nades & their daughters. Yay! This week: asylum for the Iranian women football players. Yay!

BUT the Albo Govt just introduced disturbing anti-asylum legislation. Will Albo soon say "We will decide who comes to this country..." #auspol

Australian governments subsidising fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute, analysis finds Australia Institute data finds state and federal subsidies for coal, gas and oil products increased 10% in past year, growing at a faster pace than funding to NDIS

Remember this next time anyone in the govt says they can’t afford to raise the rate.

Albanese wanted to end political alienation. Thanks to his support for Trump, there's a new batch of pissed off voters Labor can't be blamed for One Nation's rise in the polls, but the government's support for the war in Iran has deepened another fracture.

Anthony Albanese’s support for Trump might undo all of his work to show angry voters governments can work for them, writes Bernard Keane. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/11/a...

NACC decided it wasn't in the public interest to make its corruption hearings with Morrison, Campbell, Mussolino etc public

I would conservatively estimate that 90% of Australians would disagree

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.

Albanese's line that "We're sending defensive forces" to the war should ring everybody's bullshit radars. These "defensive" assets are part of a larger offensive. Take yourself back to school if you're buying it. Centrists can't even send us to war without pretending they're not.

The Israeli press are contemplating Trump “chickening out”. It’s about time our govt showed the courage to put Australia’s interests before those of US/ Israeli hegemony and their psychopathic leaders.
Sacrificing our sovereignty and economy to warmongering fools is unacceptable

Labor members are “quietly alarmed” as the cabinet supports megalomaniacs Trump and Netanyahu. They slaughter civilians, blow school children to pieces, ignore international law. and threaten world peace and Labor are mute.😳
Did Pat Conroy explain this sycophantic appeasement?

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.

Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

Whatever the truth it will eventually come out

Whatever the truth, it shows the lying, the deceit and true nature of AUKUS, the way it was created, the role of Labor in continuing it - all without a mandate from Australian voters

Whatever the truth, Australia is a sycophant - a vassal state.

Labor MPs quietly alarmed by Albanese government’s response to US-Israel strikes on Iran Several MPs question why the party rushed to endorse strikes that were likely in breach of international law

“Quietly alarmed” = too gutless to say it publicly

It will be historically significant that the Albanese government decided to spend its enormous political capital not on addressing systemic inequality but on mindless fealty to the demands of the United States and Israel. That is how it'll be remembered.
