So @albomp.bsky.social, when does Jillian Segal get her marching orders, or are you totally cool supporting someone that actively supports a hard right agenda, including defeating the Voice.

What’s it going to be, Albo?

Let’s see ABC’s coverage too.,

Jillian Segal and husband funding far-right group "Advance" - The Klaxon
Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal and her husband are among the biggest funders of far-right group "Advance”, which spreads hateful propaganda and racist tropes.

Sure sure. But positive racism advancing one group over everyone else is fine?

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

As recently as Nov 2022, wannabe prime minister had apparently never heard home or industrial size batteries. Is this a person who can be taken at all seriously about power options?

Dutton’s doozie: “you can’t store renewable energy at the moment.”
Our hapless opposition leader Peter Dutton recently told the 2GB radio audience You can’t store renewable energy at the moment. Really? I wonder if he might help me understand then, why our home ba…

"...Now is a good time for Labor to join the United Kingdom, Canada, France and many other countries in introducing a digital services tax aimed at the big tech companies (and, purely coincidentally, strong Trump supporters) that make large revenues in Australia but pay relatively little tax."

Trump just terminated the Chair of the Kennedy Center and has installed himself as the new chair.

He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.

Everyone needs to read this article and think deeply about how they vote in the upcoming federal election. The consequences of a Dutton led government are profound.

Peter Dutton’s line that having a strong public sector is about “pleasing the unions” is just wrong. It is about providing decent services to Australians, something he clearly doesn’t care about. He wants to return to mass outsourcing to their favourite consultants #insiders

I recommend the movie ‘Vice’ for a glimpse of President Carter’s understanding of our world and what could have been. #valePresidentCarter
The world has lost a quiet legend.

A gentle giving soul to the very end, who made our world a better place for being in it.
npr.org NPR @npr.org · Dec 29
BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights.

Read about his lasting legacy.

I dropped out at 14. Digital media launched my career, taking me from the streets of Ipswich to my adult life advising leaders in Parliament.

If this ban existed back then, I wouldn’t have stood a chance. Be prepared for kids from low-socioeconomic and rural backgrounds to be impacted most. #auspol

What’s happened to you @australianlabor.bsky.social ? Where have the giants of social justice gone? Everyone needs to find out if they have local Independent standing and get behind them.
@australianlabor.bsky.social I will vote & campaign against every ALP senator from Victoria if you pass these cruel anti-refugee bills. Depriving a refugee of a mobile phone while you try to deport them? You can’t sink any lower.

Labor's policy to confiscate mobile phones from people in immigration detention centres is spitefully inhumane. Shame on you, Labor. We know not to expect much from you on immigration policy these days but this is positively Morrisonian.

Twomey rips the veil from this bill: ‘if you look closer, the numbers start to build. A rich donor can make a $20,000 donation to a party or one of its candidates in each of six states, two territories and to the federal branch of the party. That means they can donate $180,000 … annually.’
