ATTENTION: Prime minister @albomp.bsky.social
I refer to your statement on 28 February 2026 that "Iran directed at least two attacks on Australian soil in 2024."
You lie. #auspol
Australia's most generous fossil fuel subsidy will pour another $11 billion of taxpayer money into the pockets of polluters this year, including coal and gas companies.
How worried should you be about tick bite allergies, and how can you stop them?
“Young people who are not on the generational train of transporting wealth are trying to survive within a cruel tax system. A system that is unfair for many working people, small businesses and young people. A system that taxes not just their incomes but also their dreams.” satpa.pe/N0Fr5mn
AEC disclosures show more than $138 million in political funding in 2024–25 had no declared source under the current rules.
When dark money & big donors shape our politics, public trust suffers. Australians deserve govts that are not fundraising from industries that profit when policy is weakened.

Within the space of 7 days the Albanese Labor Govt has welcomed the head of state of a country committing genocide - and given another $30b of our public money to the Trump fascist administration through AUKUS.
Can’t believe it #auspol

Albanese dismisses Aukus concerns as submarine shipyard cost revealed to be $30bn

Despite the seismic nature of the government’s plan to divert autistic children from the NDIS and the fact billions of dollars in savings are forecast as a result, there is still no detail on how the assessment will produce the funding figure in a participant’s plan. satpa.pe/bhXgUDY
The pseudo-law practiced by sovereign citizens – whether they be naïve, mercenary or fanatically sincere – is enormously costly. Matters that should last one minute can last 30; matters that should take one hour can now take several days. satpa.pe/5vJUvzf
Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing - during the last election the former Liberal MP (in my seat) Jason Falinski fronted what he called a grassroots movement to attack Teal MPs who advocate climate action - turns out it was entirely funded by the Coal Industry.

Inflation pressures remain persistent.
In 2024–25, the Govt handed out $12.5 billion in fossil fuel subsidies. It’s time to rethink priorities.
We need smarter, climate-aligned budgeting that delivers real cost-of-living relief and invests in Australia’s future.
Last year, for the first time, alcohol and gambling companies, and their lobby groups, donated more than $5m to the major parties. Looks like they are getting a reasonable return on their investment.
The fact that most toddlers are able to learn from their mistakes faster than Labor premiers will never cease to amaze me

The Albanese government is handing access to Australians’ biometric data and ID documents to US agencies like ICE, and not telling anyone. Bernard Keane reports.
Clive Palmer helped Scott Morrison hold onto government in 2019 through misinformation and disinformation, writes Mike Seccombe. This much may be said of Palmer’s party: at least we know who funds it. satpa.pe/SJDqCui
"Before the 2022 election, there were three independents in the Victorian Legislative Council. In large measure as a result of the unfairness of the new laws, now there are none."

Thriving Kids is designed to remove tens of thousands of children with autism and developmental delay from the NDIS, where they attract more than $3.1 billion in individual funding every year. Yet, critical details are still yet to be shared. satpa.pe/dtCc5jo
Who cares what they think? Their opinions are no longer relevant nor wanted. Both cgt concessions and negative gearing need reforming as soon as possible. #auspol
"Mr Albanese added that President Herzog is the equivalent of the Governor-General of Australia."
Really, Albo?
I'm not aware that Sam Mostyn has ever incited a genocide, signed a bomb, or pushed hasbara on behalf of Australia.

“They’re still trying to convince you that killing kids is “targeting Hamas”.
“For the millionth time, “Israel says” IS NOT JOURNALISM.”
I’m going to round off my January reading with “Dead Centre: How political pragmatism is killing us” by @richarddenniss.bsky.social - fitting, on a day when we’re watching @albomp.bsky.social try to tell us the Israeli President is worthy of “respect.” Spineless nonsense. #BookSky

Melissa McIntosh is more worried about kids singing about being locked up than kids being locked up.
Even the NZ Tories have the courage to say no to Trump.
Does the ALP?

The Q&A program wasn't the problem.
The problem was the host.
The Government’s invitation for President Herzog to visit must be rescinded - it will cause immense distress to many who have lost relatives in Gaza. This is a time to build social cohesion not blow it out of the water ! 💦
