Rather than the gas cartel prioritising the supply of Australian gas to their foreign customers, we need the Australian Govt prioritising the supply of Australian gas to Australians. We need a retrospective gas reservation policy now. #auspol

Consumer guarantees but no mention of repair. #RightToRepair Why @ALeighMP ?
Hidden fees. Subscription traps. Manipulative design. We’re shutting them down. These reforms make markets fairer and help households hold onto more of their money. https://t.co/LIgFvbTY7d

The more than 1000 job losses at CSIRO reflect a long pattern of underfunding by govt, who have treated science as optional. We need research to build resilience and future industries. Reversing the slide in national research investment has to start now. https://t.co/gepFszB80N

Humans of Courage, thank you for your bravery. #freemcbride #whistleblowers
It was gr8 2 catch up with these legends @ 2025 Whistleblowers Australia Anual Conf. Yes we spoke about the failures of the Govt to protect whistleblowers and not the perpetrators, as they do. I guess political donations from corps and companies, trump truth tellers! #freeMcbride

Hundreds of jobs destroyed at the iconic CSIRO while we subsidise the US and UK military industrial establishments with no guarantee of ever receiving nuclear powered subs designed to attack China, our most important trading partner. Militarism gone mad! Well said Ed Husic 👏

https://t.co/9r4xoCWG32 The narrative for the global repair movement does not only belong to the establishments that tinker in the space, it's also for volunteers to collaborate with their power and courage to progress #RightToRepair.

Once a nurse always a nurse whether registered or not...a bit like being a mother or a stepmother, actually. Congratulations for completing your qualification. #menditmel #Nursing #nurses #nurse #healthcare #hospital
Well today I walked into the hospital as a student and left as a qualified nurse 👩🏼⚕️ ! 3 of the hardest years done but can’t believe I have done it 🥰😢

Electric vehicles are a joy to drive and a win for the climate. At Canberra’s electric vehicle training hub, mechanics are learning the skills that will power tomorrow’s jobs. #auspol @AmandaRishworth

Another example of the failures and dangers of deregulation, privatisation, inadequate oversight and effective registration of providers. TAFE was sacrificed on the altar of neoliberal greed and ideology. Governments need to prosecute the shonks and increase TAFE funding.

We make no apologies for blocking Labor’s disastrous bill to kill FOI. The task for this Parliament is to make government more transparent and more accountable. Right now the Albanese government is the greatest obstacle to that.

Listened and thought @ChrisLynnHedges was in control of the narrative. Even though he expressed he was anger at a later time that night he was incredibly professional, as expected.
"A former Media Watch presenter recently attempted to lecture Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges on what his role as a journalist should be, and it was embarrassing, writes managing editor Michelle Pini." https://t.co/0oV6jXKCLZ

MSM, including the @abc feels more like lifestyle stories by reporters than investigative journalism. Mend It reads alternative media as recommended in the comments to @PeterWMurphy1
#MSM #Journalism #tuneout #turnoff
@Anthony_Klan @MichaelWestBiz @ChrisLynnHedges et al
I'm at the stage where I no longer get my news from the Australian mainstream news media. Not even "our ABC". Rather, I'm enjoying the analysis from some superb independent news sources. Please reply with your suggestions who I should be reading. 👇 #auspol #JournalismMatters
