Why are people who look like me called "prisoners" when they get kidnapped, but the people who resemble Europeans are called "hostages" ... and then in the same breath, I'll get accused of being "woke" or "radical" or even "antisemitic" just for bringing this up because the answer is uncomfortable.

A Tesla executive is leading Australia’s R&D review. That’s not OK. Public roles should serve the people – not billionaires. Add your name to demand Denholm’s resignation and new integrity laws: getup.to/JvDN3S7Cqloca
Billionaire Hands off Public Policy!
Tesla's chair is in charge of our tech future - but it should be us shaping policy

Keating makes the point that Labor should spend some political capital.
My wish list:
Be brave.
Ditch AUKUS.
Stop worshiping the “market”
Fix CGT and -ve gearing.
Tackle poverty reduction
Housing as a human right.
Establish a modern Housing Commission.
Build public Housing.

Nothing shouts giving up [what remains of] our national sovereignty louder than #AUKUS. #auspol

In case you were curious as to who has sovereign control over #AUKUS, this overnight (Washington) response from Minister Pat Conroy says it all. 1/2 #auspol

The PRRT is one of Australia's main taxes on the gas industry....and it's completely broken.

Imagine what Australia could fund if the gas industry paid its fair share...free university? #auspol

Did #Santos single-handedly wreck the Australian economy?

“…damage…nothing short of spectacular.

…primary force behind Australia's inflationary surge, it's forced businesses to the wall, or to shift offshore, undermined national industry policy & resulted in loss of countless thousands of jobs.”

We don’t have a gas shortage, we have a gas export problem. Santos are gaming the system and pushing up the price of gas paid by 🇦🇺 households & industry.

We don’t need new projects, we need to reserve uncontracted export gas for 🇦🇺 now!

This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

Penny Wong spent two years opposing the right of Palestinians to live without being bombed and starved and babies sniped in the head, defending israels right to commit genocide

wtf is going on here
turnleft8.bsky.social
its funny, all the supposed left or centre people - from Chuck Shumer, Bill Clinton, Stephen Colbert praising Trump for bringing "peace" to Gaza

a peace they refused to support under Biden & Harris, a peace they spend billions and billions preventing

wtf is wrong with you people
turnleft8.bsky.social

at the democratic convention, palestinian activists were banned from speaking on stage, Kamala Harris pledged support for israel, supplied weapons and money to israel, attendees literally ran away from people outside the convention holding signs

I know I don't need to point it out to you, @abcnews @ABCaustralia, because you already know it but I'll point it anyway because I am so fucking angry ... censoring your reporting in favour of ISRAEL is a partisan political act that flies in the fucking face of IMPARTIALITY. #auspol #GazaGenocide

Listening to @abcnews radio news on the release of "Israeli hostages" and "Palestinian prisoners" and the "end of the war" and I'm really sick to death of this whitewashed pro-Israel biased shit that is genocide denial and dehumanizes Palestinians. #auspol #GazaHolocaust
