@albomp.bsky.social Where has this man of courage and conviction gone? You’re not only betraying us you’re betraying yourself. I know at 71 I value the same things I always valued. You appear to have totally lost your way. Or were you always a liar? #auspol australianpolitics.com/1996/05/06/a...

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
The Greens will back Labor’s super tax changes. But let’s be honest about it. It barely scratches the surface of the wealth inequality crisis.
You should not be paying a higher tax rate on your wages than the richest super accounts. Yet that’s exactly what our system allows.
MENTAL HEALTH VS MENTAL ILLNESS MENTAL HEALTH - Represents overall psychological well-being. - Encompasses emotional balance, resilience, and life satisfaction. - Reflects positive mental functioning. - Exists on a well-being continuum. - Promotes a sense of fulfillment & contentment. MENTAL ILLNESS - Refers to specific diagnosable conditions. - Involves disorders like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. - Manifests through symptoms & dysfunction. - Requires medical diagnosis and treatment. - Exists alongside mental health on the well-being spectrum.
Basic terms like Mental Health Vs Mental Illness are misunderstood by many, leading to confusion and inability to have a better understanding, further discussions & learning about either.

I understand that politics and war is a complicated thing and I don't know the ins and outs of what's happening.
But there's one thing that is not in dispute...
It is an atrocity to target and slaughter innocent children, regardless of the alleged righteousness of war.

We have a terrific local ALP MP, but I'm not voting for her again if @albomp.bsky.social drags us into this war. It's taken a lot to make me do this, but my loyalty has been eroded by the sheer spinelessness of a govt determined to squander a 2-term majority by sitting on its hands. #auspol
Australians don't want to get dragged into Trump & Netanyahu’s illegal war on Iran. Labor shouldn’t be sending troops to help a military that’s killed 150 schoolchildren in a primary school bombing. To keep civilians safe we should be urging peace, not sending missiles.
Disappointed I was the only MP to vote against 2nd reading of Govt-Oppn bill that will give the Minister power to stop entire classes of temp visa holders arriving in Aus. A discriminatory policy letting the Govt decide which imperilled ppl are worth saving. #auspol #politas
Donald Trump has kept all his promises to voters… unless you count the promises he made regarding war, inflation, job creation, energy prices or the Epstein files. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/10/d...
Better headline:
"The US massacred school children -
Trump lied about it."
www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
That sound you are *not* hearing is Donald Trump rebuking his pal Vladimir Putin for providing Iran with specific locations of American troops to kill them.
Instead, Donald is *easing* sanctions on Russia.
He is despicable.
Many Australians seem to have forgotten that this nation has blindly followed the US into Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, for no other reason than sucking up to our 'ally'.
But now that we are faced with an illegal, pointless and catastrophic war in the Middle East...
We. Don't. Have. To. #auspol
I wonder how many of the dozens of Iranian schoolgirls killed by Trump’s missiles dreamed of one day playing soccer for Iran? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
So he did. Said some wad stored in Louisiana in case of emergencies
"I said, 'Why don't we just murder them? It's more fun...'"
Five members of the Iranian women’s football team have been taken into protection in Australia after escaping their government handlers.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
Pope Leo XIV criticized the U.S. and Israel's strikes on Iran over the weekend and found criticism from MAGA when he said that "stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats."
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
The working class pay the price when political “ leaders” abandon principles, and fail to call out the madness consuming the US and Israeli regimes.
The political elite will not bear the brunt of rising prices, unaffordable petrol, food and electricity embattled Aussies will!
Would it have been so much worse if it had been a nuke? Consider the fact that birth deficiencies and rates of leukemia and cancer in Iraq, post 2003- invasion, are worse than what was observed in Hiroshima. In Japan, rates of leukemia rose by 660% in the years following the bomb. In Falluja, it increased by 2,200%. The toxicity of war has never been greater, and we are in no way reckoning with the scope of the horror that's been unleashed.
The real damage comes years later, with elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issues.
This is chemical warfare, with delayed carnage. Worse than radiation sickness.
I am ashamed to be American today.

Yeah Albo, FFS do something about the tax system. If you can't be brave, give the game away and move aside to let someone else take the bull by the horns.
#Albo is supporting #LittleSparta
not because there are Australians living there, but because they’re mates with #Israel

🤔Whitlam's Government showed how democratic socialism could work to benefit AUs civil society. It sent the racist religious ancient resource driven colonialism of The Murdochracy insane. After it threw Whitlam out, it reinstalled autocracy & austerity & we've been looted by parasites ever since. 😮💨
