“And for him to turn around in the last week and have a crack at David Pocock and Grace Tame, you could not be further departed from the reality of Australians to do that.” – Hannah Ferguson

In a word association game, Albo called AOTY Grace Tame "difficult".
Albo knows the abuse Tame has suffered and the incredible good work she has done. I find his use of the word "difficult" to describe Tame to be thinly-disguised coded #misogyny. Abbott & Morrison would be proud. #auspol
If "difficult" means challenging an unjust status quo, Australia needs *more* difficult women. And men.
Grace Tame already has a solid track record making a difference.
Albo will be remembered for being far too *easy* with corporate donors, genocidal regimes, vested interests, and racist media.
Already, fewer than 1 in 5 younger & middle aged women vote for the Libs. Purging Sussan Ley won't help the party's women problem.

How dare they try to patronise powerful and principled women like this while they obsessively attack their every utterance. This paper is a disgrace.
Better headline:
PM announces $30b facility for #AUKUS subs we will never get,
'purchased' from a fascist regime we should never deal with. #auspol

Same in Australia isn't it @albomp.bsky.social? 'Donations' in exchange for policy. #auspol
Malcolm Turnbull says the problems he had while PM weren’t with Labor, but “with people like Angus Taylor & Tony Abbott, & their friends in the media”
“They had control over Dutton, they burnt it to the ground.”🔥
“They’ve now got their man in again with Angus Taylor” #auspol
Angus Taylor says party on track for Net Zero women by 2040
"Our focus is on reducing women in the House of Reps, but we're on track also reduce our female vote to zero too."

The Productivity Commission’s Report on Government Services 2025 again exposes a deeply unfair school funding system, with government funding growth continuing to favour private schools over public schools despite rising student need. Read more: https://bit.ly/4bHUu0x

According to new Australia Institute research, the inequality between private and public education will continue to grow, and Australian students, along with the Australian community and economy, will suffer.

A man threw a bomb into the crowd at an #InvasionDay rally in Boorloo (Perth) on 26Jan. The device contained explosive liquid, ball bearings & screws. Fortunately it didn't explode. Terrorism. Minimal media coverage, using gentle language: "a device designed to explode". 😠 #auspol #journalism
Almost all salmon in Australia is from Tasmania, and the industry there is essentially unregulated - and dangerously unhealthy.
Do not eat it.
“One teacher lamented that not only would her students not get a fancy bus driving them door to door, they would have no bus at all. The recent privatization of bus services has led to the cancellation of the route that used to go past her school’s door.”

"We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy, but we believe that from the fracture we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just. This is the task of the middle powers"

Who is Zohran Mamdani, what is his agenda, and what would his equivalent in Australian Labor be promising to do? by @richarddenniss.bsky.social #ThePoint

Grass roots.
My @smh cartoon.
Laura Tingle on #ABC has slammed Trump’s actions in Venezuela as an “extraordinary breach of international law.”
Says if this is about oil, “well, actually, natural resources belong to the country where they come from.” 💥 #Venezuela
CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics
Be aware - pretty much everyone in the press gallery calling for a Royal Commission into antisemitism is doing it because they are completely annoyed the government is not "listen to meeeeeeeeee".
Minns protest bans, hate speech measures, target Palestine peace protestors but yet to focus on Nazis.

This story should be framed not so much about ABC management's 'defence' of Tingle and Ferguson.
But that the pro-Israel lobby and its proxies in politics and media continue to try to monster the public broadcaster into submission. #auspol

PM Albanese calls on the Coalition to get their act together & stop playing politics with the #Bondi tragedy.
“My message is that this is not a time for partisanship.”
“This is a time for national unity.”
“After the Port Arthur massacre, that is what occurred.” #auspol
Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you
Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career
Hey Frydenberg, don't let facts get in the way of your attempt to use the tragedy to get your snout back in the Parliamentary trough. #auspol
