Evidence-based policy is so last century, Denise.

Why bother gathering the facts, when policy positions can be provided by industry lobbyists? 🙄😬 #auspol

So soybean farmer didn’t have this problem under the last administration but thought I’ll vote for the other guy anyway because I’m sick of having access to markets and an income? No need for all those guns over there, there’s myriad ways to shoot yourself in the head 🤷‍♀️

Tax fossil fuelled cars, not EVs to help the environment

Andrew Hastie is on the Board of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship 🤡 with Tony Abbott & John Howard. You can’t afford to miss the dangerous implications of that international networking for climate, freedom & rights, militarism, Islamophobia. #auspol

Andrew Hastie: soldier for an extreme version of governing by Christ
Andrew Hastie is a more extreme Fundamentalist Christian than Scott
Morrison. Australians cannot let his attempts to lead the nation go unchallenged. His place on the ARC Board is a warning.

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social are you going to address this blatant preferential treatment favouring the noisy Zionist crowd? #auspol #islampphonia

Fahad Ali @fahad-s-ali.bsky.social · 15d

The Islamophobia Register will run out of core funding soon and the @albomp.bsky.social government refuses to top it up. It received only $1 million, compared to the $25 million received by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.

This differential treatment is why what happened on Sky happened.

The largest scare campaign in human history? I don’t think so because, thanks to help from loot for lies shysters like this muppet, we’re still barreling towards extinction at a pace that will take our breath away. Crying foul coz mean labels & hurt feelings won’t matter much then.

Even when Brereton is truthful, he is worse than useless as #NACC commissioner.

After such poor performance, we can only assume that it suits both Labor and LNP very nicely to keep someone in a role who provides the appearance of oversight.

But delivers zero accountability. #robodebt #auspol

"Andrew Hastie appears to be trying to take the leadership of the Liberal party (and thus Australia’s rightwing government option) for the Christian Nationalist and ethnostate faction."

Must read on this #FarRight contender, who mainstream media are busy humanizing as a "conviction politician".

This is such an extreme right wing ideas network built on racism, misogyny and Christian nationalism. Price, Cash & Hume also closely linked to them. Vance, Patel, Thiel, Farage etc the groups ‘figureheads’. They are all traitors to liberal democracy.

"That's why from here, from New York, I ask all soldiers of the army of the US not to point their rifles at humanity," Petro declared in a video he later shared on social media. "Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity!"
