Out of interest ABC - if the community independents are referred to as C200 independents - then why aren't you applying this to everyone else? - so Gina Rinehart's LNP etc

C200 are a crowdfunder - but the majority of funds for community independents comes directly #auspol

Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇

90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free.

To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax.

Working hand-in-hand with Zionist provocateurs, News Corp caught red-handed trying to fan a race war in Sydney by manufacturing ‘news’ to trigger outrage, generate clicks, and bolster the far right in Australia’s coming election. Whatever this is, it isn’t journalism.

Bruce MacKinnon, the editorial cartoonist at the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, drew this last November.

No newspaper would print it.

As bad as everything he says and does is, also worth noting that this is 100% the first time he has heard about this order. He would not have actually read it, would have had no input into its drafting.

He is pretty much just the racist puppet with the signature.

"Dutton and LNP vilify any Jew who doesn't fit into their racist mould.
...Dutton's reduction of the Jewish community into a single stereotype, and silencing of Jews who don't fit that typology, only serves to make Jews less safe.
This is particularly grotesque amidst a real rise in antisemitism." 🎯

Shocked to see a highly defamatory op-ed in The Australian today targeting @sarahschwartz.bsky.social, which includes not only falsehoods about Sarah’s talk, making up things that Sarah never said, but got other basic details (such as speakers) wrong. Incredible to see media reproduce lies unchecked

They're proposing tens of thousands of wells, so this is a very, very bad sign."

Australians herded towards cynicism by the general air of ‘nothing to see here’ from the NACC costing us $140 million so far, and as transparent and briskly free-flowing as a tin can of black molasses.
After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?

It has found no corruption.

The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment.

Australia needs to invest in our own fire fighting air tankers. It seems there is no expense spared for risk of war, AUKUS but when it comes to the biggest national security risk of intensifying climate fuelled fire, we opt not to invest. Wrong priority. #auspol

Ten thousand dollars. FMD.
In Australia its a cheaper to cause an oil spill than to get a nursing degree

In Norway they tax their oil industry and give kids free degrees while in Australia we subsidise the oil industry and charge kids a fortune to go to uni

Priorities matter
Accused by a whistleblower of covering up an oil spill that killed dolphins and sea snakes, Santos get fined just $10k 🤯

Santos spends up to $US3.3m per year on a private jet for their executives so I don’t think AUD10k is going to hurt them.

In effect what this means is the 2024 Presidential election was the first in which a majority of people never read a newspaper.

The Australian election next year will be much the same.

So not sure why the ALP would give a damn about trying to appease news.corp, and Nine papers.
