ABC's 7.30 in Nov asserted falsely that poverty in Australia was worsening under the Albanese Govt. The segment failed to disclose that the appalling research findings it presented were collected several years before #Labor took office.

For anyone pretending Labor's first term has been a do-nothing government here's the proof you're wrong and you're probably far too reliant on Murodch and other RW media johnmenadue.com/the-governme...

This election the old way of doing things is done.
It’s time for the Era of Independence.

● Ending the siege on income-taxed Australians.
● Universal early childhood education & care.
● A full commitment to the renewable energy transition.
● A national housing accord.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Ahh love the "we have a gas shortage" stories.

Nope, foreign gas companies just prefer to sell Australia's gas overseas for more profit.

(they also pay bugger all tax, and barely any royalties)

The answer to why Australia might soon be importing gas is that gas companies are exporting around 35 times more gas than any projected "shortage".

Australia does not have a gas shortage. 80% of Australia's gas goes overseas.

Donors to Trump's inaugural fund:

- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: $1M
- Amazon: $1M
- Meta: $1M
- Uber & its CEO Dara Khosrowshahi: $1M each
- Apple CEO Tim Cook: $1M

This is chump change to the tech oligarchs, but it sends a clear message that they will do Trump's bidding.

Anthony Albanese has called for fixed four year terms. Makes sense to me.
If you agree, RT.
Disagree, "like"?

• nicholas jorss, chairman of bowen coking coal
• michael van maanen, general manager of whitehaven coal

…a bunch of coal men spending coal super-profits pretending to be a grassroots movement.

🚨 this week the coal industry launched a dirty campaign against the independents through an ‘astroturf’ group: ‘australians for progress’.

using classic negative ad styling — complete with misinformation — billboards went up in monique ryan’s & allegra spender’s electorates.

In light of #UHC, this is the most interesting piece I read today.

This feed’s Major Media Outlets Starter Pack is growing! I’m tracking every new reliable major-media outlet that joins Bluesky, with many more sure to come in the next few days. I hope you’ll stay tuned and pass this on to anyone else who still pays attention to major media (which I urge us to do).

Dear National Anti Corruption Commissioner Paul Brereton: you misrepresent NACC supporters by saying we’re only interested in getting ‘scalps’. NACC is about exposing serious/systemic corruption via thorough investigation. Your role is all about public TRUST in government.
