Disgraceful on multiple levels.
Peter Dutton said a Coalition government would “defund the activist-led environmental defenders office that has stymied projects across the country”.

Shades of Trump, who is targeting law firms that are not loyal to him or his agenda.

This is an excellent systems analysis of the political economy of UPFs. It maps the 🌍 UPF system using a causal loop diagram, identifying nine reinforcing loops that promote UPF dominance, such as market concentration, corporate influence & agricultural practices 👏 -> doi.org/10.1111/obr....

So let me get this straight, Labor have committed $6B over 3 years to re-staffing public services but the Libs spent $20B in one year for their private donors to do ‘some’ of that work. Who is going to call this out? #auspol

How the fuck do we live in a place where @abc-news.bsky.social are reporting on Trump’s bullying of Zelensky as if it’s a funny little spat instead of what it is: the death of planetary diplomacy, the end of trust any sovereign nation can have in the USA, and the possible beginning of World War 3?

Something I've been banging on about for some time now:

Peter Dutton is a multi-millionaire property developer

He has been for all of his adult life. That's who he is & how he earns his wealth

For a brief interlude in his 20s he was a cop, yet he and our media have defined him by that ever since

As of yesterday, Antarctic sea-ice extent set a new minimum for 2025 at 2,086,000 square kilometers. This makes 2025 extent lower than the minimum reached in 2024 and the second lowest minimum on record, behind only 2023.

Will it go even lower? The climate 8-ball says...

Want to avoid the utter carnage unfolding under a Trump-Musk government being replicated in Australia?

Don’t elect Temu Trump (aka Peter Dutton).

That doesn’t mean you need to put Labor first though!

Use *preferential voting* to best reflect your values and politics.
