Remember:
26Jan has been recognised as a Day of Mourning since 1938, in recognition of the invasion, dispossession & numerous massacres by British invaders against Indigenous Australians since 1788.
It has only been a public holiday as Australia Day since 1994.
Facts matter. History matters. #auspol

In a few years, Australians will look back on the #AUKUS debacle as a horrifying example of stupid, dangerous and secretive policy.
It will be one factor hastening the death of the 'two party system', as people realize that neither LNP nor Labor can be trusted with our national security. #auspol

Professor White predicts it will become “absolutely blindingly obvious” that the schedule can’t be met “within a few years”. Politically, he notes, that is likely in the parliament after this one, “or at least so they hope”. #AUKUS #auspol

Just waiting for the question to be asked at a press conference and getting the response “now isn’t the right time to discuss that”
With a heatwave effecting millions in Australia, is it a good time to point out how state and federal governments are not treating global warming/climate change with the urgency and seriousness it requires? Or does it have to get much worse? #auspol

In a callow ALP, D’Adam has been steadfast. We need more like him.

Public conversation in Australia is so moronic and disingenuously manipulated that paying attention to it is a health hazard.
Semi-charismatic empty vessels, on behalf of the hyper-wealthy, squawk about why we need something racist, or fascist.
Repeat until the sun explodes.

When might we expect you, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, to publicly admit your talk of a "ceasefire" was a sham and announce steps you're taking to meet your obligations under int'l law to stop Israel?

Indeed! Anything commentary worth reading in the past few weeks has been on substack and alt media. The mainstream media (including ABC) collectively sound like blatant propaganda for the coalition and other interest groups.

This is an obviously orchestrated campaign of the type that we've seen before but involving a wider group of people. Do they all agree with the Islamophobic & other racist agenda of many of their fellow travellers? If they don't, & didn't understand how they're being used, now is the time to say so.
