#auspol Minns, you are complicit in a genocide by your own admission. Your comment to ABC says it all. As long as nuclear weapons aren’t used it is okay to kill civilians, is it?! ”They're not selling nuclear weapons … we want to see the industry grow” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

PAGING @albomp.bsky.social: ignore wealth inequality, housing, climate change, and youth at your own political peril.

You have a literal mandate and are probably Australia's last, best, and only shot to create a viable path forward for all Australians.

@albomp.bsky.social & @australianlabor.bsky.social do NOT want reform, they are desperate for the status quo, even if it meant returning to opposition. To us it's our daily lives, to them it's just a game where only two can play. For after, there's lobbying or consulting gigs aplenty don't you know!

So please tell us what steps you are taking, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, to cut all ties with the UAE and action you are putting in place to help end the #SudanGenocide or is this just another genocide like the #GazaGenocide in which you are comfortable to participate. #auspol

I know GP's are overworked, but it's a very long time since a visit to the GP at my local clinic has been free, and payment for any number of tests keeps growing. Don't get me started on the cost of a visit to the dentist! @albomp.bsky.social

Just the kind of wonderful news we need right now - #Victoria has passed Australia's first formal #treaty with Indigenous Traditional Owners. A long time coming, but a moment to celebrate.

When will @albomp.bsky.social & @australianlabor.bsky.social prove we are complying with our international OBLIGATIONS, not options, as stated by the Australian Centre for International Justice:"The Australian government cannot remain a bystander—it is legally required to act to prevent genocide."

I'd get chucked out of the clinic if I turned up to my GP without money in my wallet. @australianlabor.bsky.social Your spin doctors are not earning their pay & neither are your MP's. Surely there's some left in ALP with the backbone to get rid of @albomp.bsky.social

jc2042.bsky.social @jc2042.bsky.social · 3d

@australianlabor.bsky.social using very carefully worded spin here. We have not forgotten it was @albomp.bsky.social & WA's premier roger crook who scuttled Tanya Plibersek's agreed EPBC.

Found this album on Bandcamp recently ($15) - the whole album is as relevant today as it was in 1988 when it was released.
