Last night the NSW Police disgraced themselves. The NSW government is fully responsible for what happened.

NSW Police used pepper spray, helicopters, horses and blockades as part of a new program designed to bring the community together.

Pong Island tea.

Engaging with people you disagree with is part of democracy. Silencing authors is not. The Australia Institute’s decision to withdraw its involvement in, and sponsorship of, Adelaide Writers’ Week was easy to make but raises difficult questions. As a research-based think tank, we thrive...

“No low is too low though in this world of the ugly billionaires.”
Great article @ronnisalt.bsky.social !!

it's really sad that going on any of the major platforms in 2025 after an abhorrent event like last night's shooting means accepting that you be exposed to some graphic content. some platforms are worse than others, but it's remarkable that it's unremarkable.

Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge There are now more than 4m guns in the community – almost double the number recorded in the years after the Port Arthur massacre that prompted a national crackdown

Here’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.

High Court fight over laws said to entrench ‘cosy table for two’ Former independent MPs Zoe Daniel and Rex Patrick are spearheading a challenge to Albanese government donation reforms which they say entrench the dominance of major parties.

Electoral laws passed by the duopoly earlier this year create an uneven playing field at elections, in their favour. They undermine your voting choice and our democracy. @zoedaniel.bsky.social and I are challenging the laws in the High Court. #unconstitutional #auspol

He held that rifle on the guy and didn’t shoot him … would I shoot him in the leg if it were me ?? … I’d be yelling run mutherfucker run ..
I probably wouldn’t shoot either.

Bless The Muslim Man Who Disarmed a Terrorist Shooter in Australia So shines a good deed in a weary world.

Bless the Muslim man who disarmed a terrorist shooter in Australia!

Ahmed the Fruiterer being the everyday hero that saved multiple lives of mostly Jewish people today is the only politics worth a pinch of shit in this act of terrorism

Point 1: Obviously it is evil to massacre civilians for being Jewish.

Point 2: Obviously Israel's genocidal atrocities must continue to be opposed, and will continue to be opposed.

Today the worst people in the world are trying to pretend Point 1 and Point 2 are contradictory.

I’m with you !

Corrupt processes yield corrupt results. Inevitable.

Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.

This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

Race car driver Dean Alessi of Alessi Motorsports has been named as a member of the National Socialist Network who attended the neo-Nazi rally at NSW Parliament last weekend. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Probably got it for mates rate$!

Special Envoy to combat antisemitism, Jillian Segal has a fully staffed office in Parliament to speak truth to power.
Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia, Aftab Malik, doesn't appear to have his own dedicated office with staff there.
& First People of Australia have no voice & no office.
Why?

Oh look 👀 the Heavy Weights have arrived !!

"Australia’s law that is supposed to protect the environment and cultural heritage doesn’t work."

Good piece from @adammorton.bsky.social on the North West Shelf.

SA Premier spreads gas industry misinformation South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas has told an event sponsored by the gas lobby that a new gas project in Narrabri, NSW, is needed to firm up his state's electricity supply.

MEDIA RELEASE: SA Premier spreads gas industry misinformation

Premier Peter Malinauskas told an event sponsored by the gas lobby that a new gas project in Narrabri, NSW, is needed to firm up SA's electricity supply.

Our research, using the government’s own data, proves this is simply not true.

Sussan Lley has established that her loyalty is to the US Republican Party, not to us.

Dutton went to the US to study Republican campaign methods.

Morrison is essentially American now.

Three out of three recent Liberal leaders have shown us where their party is headed.

OMFG 🤯

Liberal MPs speak up about ‘disturbing’ Advance campaign against ‘mass immigration’ Several MPs say the activist group’s advertising push is becoming a problem for the party because ‘you cannot win from the margins’

They have become too extreme and fascist even for the conservative party. It's a terrorist organisation.

Advance is a pussy pimple on the arse cheek of both sides of the government!

Is this a joke?

Israel strikes Gaza City with ‘unprecedented force’, tens of thousands flee Israeli forces kill at least 43 people across Gaza since dawn as death toll from man-made famine rises to 441.

This military operation is completely destroying entire blocks, and there are still families who are trapped under the debris of the targeted houses, particularly in the Tal al-Hawa area.
