Labor seeking bipartisanship with LNP coalition increasingly imbibing reactionary populism under international influences (like Trump-led MAGAism) risks legitimising regressive narratives
Here's an idea
Establish a permanent joint standing committee between Labor, Greens, and teals
Tax fossil fuel

The Duopoly effectively sold out our sovereignty
We're the pawns and it's costing us $380Bn+ so that Marles has a cushy post politics consultancy
That's what Labor has delivered

The thing to note, though, is their disingenuous framing of the Coalition’s proposal to supercharge the giveaway of our gas resources as necessary for energy security and reducing energy bills for Australians.

Decades of corrupt #auspol & increasing laws stripping Aussies "perceived" personal rights, a duopoly doing secretive shitfuckery to hold onto power, backed by lobbyists/ex pollies, billionaires. MSM is fukn just propaganda, Aussies need to wake the fuck up & take action.

In 1997 then “geniuses” treasurer Costello & PM Howard sold off our gold reserves.
Gold sold: 167 tonnes
-Proceeds received in 1997: AUD $2.4 billion
-If we still owned that gold today (spot price ≈ AUD $6,054.50/troy ounce, 7 Oct 2025):
≈ AUD $32.51 billion.
👉🏻We’d be $30+billion richer today.

On behalf of all women, we plead that the Australian government take urgent action to prevent male violence against us. Current approaches are not working! Take. This. Seriously. It's well over time that women stopped living in fear.

“…if Australia says genocide, war crimes and unlawful occupation are unacceptable, what should that commitment prevent Australian governments, businesses & institutions from doing?” #auspol #RedLinesPackage #SenateInquiryBlocked #OligarchicMajorParties
The crossbench introduced an omnibus bill last week to stop Australia enabling genocide.
Most of the mainstream media ignored it, and Labor/Coalition voted to block a Senate inquiry – an unusual move.
So we're sharing the key details. 👇️

Fascinating that Albanese and Dutton are generous in their remarks about one another but punch down on Greens who lost seats. Respect is apparently reserved for 66% who vote ALP/LNP. The 34% who didn’t, can be denigrated and treated with contempt. Duopoly looks after its own. #auspol

Changes to the way we regulate offshore oil and gas approvals are being rammed through parliament.
Labor are cowardly voting for a Coalition motion to cut a Senate inquiry into the policy to less than a month.
It's the fossil fuel industry leading the Coalition, leading Labor.

Every 4 years, as I watch the horrifying election crap happen in the USA, I'm yet again grateful for the parliamentary democracy & preferential voting system we have in Australia, which keeps us at least somewhat safe from the Two Party system.

You can have flip-flopping policy chaos every few years, or a bullet train, but you can't have both, ok?
