@TroyBramston More evidence (if even needed) that #ourABC has gone to hell in a handbasket of its own making.

The media needs to be wary about using Joe Hockey in lead up to and after US election. He’s regarded in Washington as a pro-Trump lobbyist. He predicted Trump would win 2020. He claimed Biden’s victory was based on voter fraud. He also predicted Biden would never step aside after the debate. Unreliable. Dangerous. Wrong. #Insiders #auspol #USElection2024 #USElection

@JonesHowdareyou Who was it who said the only place the voting public could pass judgement was in the polling booth? Time is nearing to show the Lib/Lab duopoly how we feel about them taking us for mugs #auspol

Of course I hope I'm wrong but I'm also not holding my breath waiting for any meaningful findings by NACC against NACC.

Was it today we were expecting NACC's Gail Furness to release her findings after her internal investigation of NACC as to why NACC decided to do SFA in the face of what's in the "sealed section" of the Robodebt RC findings? Are we taking bets on a "nothing to see here" outcome?

@noplaceforsheep It’s akin to Australia Day ignoring the prior inhabitants. A recipe for division. With some people nothing ever changes, just the targets to exploit.

According to Dutton & his racist crew, Palestinian & Lebanese lives are not grievable. Only Israeli lives are worthy of grieving. This is hard core racism

When everything has to be either black or white and empathy goes missing it’s a dangerous world we inhabit #auspol #youknowwhoimean

Help me out RBA. If higher interest rates are the way forward to bring inflation down (1) what are the causes (2) how will this address such causes (3) in such a way to not scorch large parts of Australia? Simplistic communications from RBA & all pollies aren’t helping #auspol

@MikeCarlton01 If Trump is delusion what does that say about the USA? We are about to find out. Fasten seatbelts.

So, after the debate ? Trump is clearly a charlatan, a liar, a fool, an ignoramus. Harris sliced and diced him. But he could still win. America is in dire straits.

@colonelhogans But how many will be called to task? Seems to be more about window dressing to cover commitment to protect fellow elites

#BREAKING: Six current or former politicians are under investigation by the national anti-corruption watchdog. Six current or former politicians are under investigation by the national anti-corruption watchdog. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) revealed the investigations on Wednesday — but did not disclose the MPs’ identities or any details of their alleged conduct. The NACC has been publishing weekly updates since it opened last July but this was the first time the watchdog has confirmed parliamentarians are being pursued. The conduct of three current or former political staffers is also being probed. The NACC is charged with investigating cases of serious or systemic corrupt conduct within the Commonwealth public sector, which includes politicians, staff, government agencies and contractors.

@rohan_connolly This what happens when you are governed by a neoliberal duopoly

As a proud product of government schools this is so wrong. BOTH major parties complicit in under-resourcing of public schools. How the hell do we claim to be an egalitarian society if the quality of your education depends how much money your parents have? smh.com.au/politics/nsw/p…

@noplaceforsheep So true, so sad

There are some absolutely shite people in this country & way too many of them are in parliament

@SophieScamps Not while Australia is governed by a neoliberal duopoly

‘As public schools reduce sport, some private schools are building multimillion-dollar aquatic & fitness centres’ This growing divide has to be addressed #gonski #auspol

@cathywilcox1 A spot on cartoon, as are the Dutton ones.

@Paul_Karp @MargoJ69 But the headline didn’t. Smells like Howard & Tampa mark 2. What a sad, fearful, greedy country we have become (or always were?) The Lucky Country is now the FU Country - aided & abetted by self-serving media

@MargoJ69 Paragraph 2 says that

More Australians agree with Dutton’s visa pause for Gazans than oppose it, Guardian Essential poll shows theguardian.com/australia-news…

@InsidersABC more and more I am seeing a political duopoly governing Australia in the interests of Reinhardt, Murdoch etc, with the media complicit water carriers.

@KarenMMiddleton re Hell hath frozen over as the ‘No-alition’ and Labor find common ground on key legislation theguardian.com/australia-news… Is Australia is now a political duopoly with Greens as token opposition, & power of Reinhardt, Murdoch etc more firmly entrenched?

@KosSamaras If minority govt in #auspol is the future, are we heading for a Lab/Lib duopoly, further exacerbating the gap between the Lucky Country elite & those deemed non-entitled?

Financial Review poll. The numbers are fairly stable and generally reflect the national sentiment: Labor is in the low 30s, and the LNP around 40. However, a concerning trend for Labor is emerging, with the LNP leading on every key issue driving the cost of living crisis—jobs, housing, cost of living, taxes and government spending, and the economy. *Labor's ratings on these issues are lower than their primary vote.

Tech skills for the next generation: Dig Tech Ed in Australian schools techpolicydesign.au/wp-content/upl… Problem remains digital in school Ed done to teachers and students, and not with #diged

Time to leave Twitter/X. A system that surreptitiously trawls user data for its AI-Grok & manipulates the messaging for its own ends (where is Jonathon Cook) is a danger rather than a service. Adieu

@noplaceforsheep Ditto

Voted Labor all my life. Won’t be next time.

@colonelhogans And who asks “what about us?”

In my experience, the right wing is always asking “What about me?" Whereas the left wing asks “What about them?" And that, in a nutshell, is why I will always lean to the left. ♥️ 💯

@Gibboanxious How can you not include Klute & The Eagle has landed?
