Every night @7news.bsky.social puts gambling ads on during the evening news. While maybe this is in the letter of the law it’s not in the spirit of the law and they should be ashamed as children will be watching #auspol #greed #gambling
Next month we'll hit 1000 days since the Murphy Report into gambling harm was handed down.
More than 3 in 4 Australians want stronger gambling advertising laws, but the Govt continues to stall. Politicians from both major parties continue to accept donations, gifts & perks from gambling companies.

The LNP’s values are completely out of touch in Australia, but double standards are double standards. If Bridget McKenzie had to resign over a grant given to a gun club she belonged to, Albo needs accountability for his own free golf membership after his local club got a grant.

A reminder that "moderate" Simon Birmingham sat on the Ministerial panel for Rounds 3 & 4 of the Building Better Regions Fund - one of the most corrupted grants program the coalition ever conceived and administered.

Wow, the details are disgusting.
The childcarer’s whistleblowing led to the prosecution of Australia’s worst paedophile, yet she was sacked by Uniting Church and charged by QLD police for unauthorised “hacking” as she assembled evidence against the paedophile.

The revolving door between government jobs and the defence industry is especially problematic when we see massive contracts awarded without due process.
My CleanUp Politics Act would close that door & stop senior public servants & politicians using insider knowledge in their post-politics careers.

Julie Bishop is stepping down as ANU chancellor in December. In an unprecedented intervention, the higher education regulator will have a guiding hand in picking her replacement. www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/29/a...
The countdown to Julie Bishop's replacement has begun
ANU's council has signed a 'voluntary' agreement with the regulator about how its chancellor's successor will be chosen. It doesn't reflect well on the university council.
