Albanese Government set to use social media ban as cover to water down gambling reforms yet again
If Albanese is serious about ‘progressive patriotism’ he could start by prioritising the livelihoods of Australians over the profits of gambling companies.

No wonder Minister Murray Watt is 'huffing and puffing' to try to speed up passage of his propose environmental laws through the Senate - the longer and harder we look at the Bills, the more pitfalls and holes we see. 👇Take 'net gain' for example. 👇#auspol

Following the Libs 'Net Zero' battle, 'Net Gain' will be focus as Murray Watt struggles to get changes to environmental laws passed.

Shame @albomp.bsky.social more than shame. You have lost any real values for Australia that we might have perceived you had. One less submarine? One less naval port? US housing subsidies...soon there will be nothing to defend. Ripping the guts out of research is idiotic.
$350 billion for Aukus submarines but we can’t afford 350 research jobs
A government that can’t bring itself to tax fossil fuel, big tech or any wealth properly but defunds its critical institutions is not a good government, sorry

The CSIRO cuts are just the tip of the iceberg for Australia's science funding
Australia is known as a country of innovators, but with a combination of brain drain, continuous cuts, and a loss of critical science projects, is Australia losing its edge?
