So apparently the Angus Taylor masterplan is to copy-paste Donald Trump and hope Australians don’t notice.
ICE-style deportations, values tests, culture war nonsense… all imported straight from the US bargain bin.
Even Paul Keating is calling it out as the Liberals defaulting to racism and ditching their own history.
Imagine running a 2026 campaign based on recycled 2016 slogans… from another country.
No ideas, no policy, just fear with an American accent.#FMD #australia #auspol #immigration #libleadership #politics #LNPfail

Oh wow, Angus Taylor has cracked the case. Labor’s evil ‘emissions obsession’ is why Aussie refineries are shipping fuel overseas while we pay through the nose at the pump.
Top detective work, mate. Almost like those tighter sulphur rules were brought in by the Coalition… when you were Energy Minister. With grants to upgrade the refineries themselves.
But nah, blame Bowen. Classic opposition energy move: rewrite the history, then get mad at the twist you wrote. -

Australia's Watergate: 7 yrs on, Barnaby Joyce & Angus Taylor's $80M Cayman Islands water scam still unpunished! Taxpayers fleeced for dodgy rights via secrecy & uni-party protection. Labor won't touch it. Smash the corruption!

The Liberals are burying their 2025 election review like it's state secrets. Dutton's bloodbath loss promised transparency—Ley swore it'd be public—but Angus crew now says nah, moving on.
Authors slam it as betrayal and cover-up. Classic Libs: lose big, hide the lessons, then wonder why voters ghost them. More of the same coming...
If they can't own the wipeout, how do they fix it? Transparency for voters, not themselves eh? 😂

Once again, we see the same playbook: when "fiscal responsibility" is needed, it's always education, healthcare, and social services on the chopping block. Never corporate subsidies. Never tax loopholes for the wealthy. Never the billions in concessions to mining companies.
Liberals talk about "tough choices" while protecting the comfortable and squeezing the vulnerable. The pattern is crystal clear—austerity for the many, prosperity for the few.#Auspol #Austerity #ClassWarfare #EatTheRich #LnpFail

@NickSchwanck @luciedigitalni @Old_IT_geek
It is worth remembering how fiercely the Murdoch press lined up against Whitlam in the lead up to the dismissal and how reliably it has backed the fossil fuel aligned lnp ever since. The coverage was never neutral and it has shaped decades of public opinion.
The small consolation is that Murdochs outlets now speak mainly to the older crowd. Younger Australians are tuning out entirely, choosing independent and digital sources instead. They are the one bright sign that a better future is still possible here.#australianpolitics #whitlam #australia #media #lnp #lnpfail #msm #auspol

The deliberate theft of free education by successive governments is one of the greatest acts of intergenerational theft in our history. I know, because I was one of the lucky ones who benefited from Whitlam's vision. We must restore it.

@rood That's a brutal but accurate example of the logic at work. When healthcare is treated as a commodity, not a right, the math becomes coldly utilitarian.
You're right, the system starts to see people as having a "used by date." A complex, expensive dental procedure to save a tooth isn't "cost-effective" for a low-income person—so the cheaper extraction is the only "choice." This is the same logic that sees a retired person or a chronically ill individual as a "burden" rather than a person.
The previous government's decade long medicare rebate freeze was a policy that deliberately starved bulk billing. The goal was to make public healthcare unviable and push people towards private, for-profit systems. They absolutely would not have a problem with workers collapsing; in that worldview, you're only valuable as a unit of production. When you can't produce, you're a cost to be managed.This intervention is a small but vital attempt to push back against that exact ideology, to say that health is a public good, not a private luxury.

Once upon a time you could buy a Mini, Merc or Citroën made in Australia.
Not just sold here — actually assembled in local factories.
It didn’t last, but it happened. And it says a lot about what we once thought was possible.#carhistory #australia #manufacturing #mini #mercedesbenz #citroen #madeinaustralia #auspol #lnpfail #MurdochRoyalCommission

@Alpha1Nine #Dutton caves to gas giants instead of making them pay their fair share! Instead of taxing gas companies properly and ensuring they contribute via a resource tax, Peter Dutton is fast-tracking Woodside’s North West Shelf expansion—a project that would:
- Lock in decades of free gas for Woodside (worth hundreds of billions!)
- Drive up WA gas & electricity prices (already tripled since exports began)
- Risk draining WA’s domestic gas reserves
- Destroy sacred Murujuga rock art
- Blow out Australia’s emissions (equal to 12 coal power stations every year!)A National Interest Test? This project would fail miserably. But Dutton’s priority isn’t Australians—it’s propping up foreign-owned gas corporations raking in record profits while we pay the price.

Nuclear power ran in Germany from the 1960s until April 2023, when it was completely phased out . But hey, geniuses from Australia are just now thinking about building nuclear reactors, seven of them across the country.

"The New South Wales government needs to take back control of tolls." (#pigsfly)
The report forecast that drivers would pay $195 billion in tolls between now and 2060.
The biggest toll burden is due to #WestConnex, which the report found drivers will pay for "three times over".
