Thanks @ALeighMP for your consistent advocacy for better government. Please persuade your ALP caucus colleagues to get @AlboMP and PM&C to abandon now discredited FOI “reforms”. Limitless cyber storage now makes “open transparent government” a cost effective trust changer.

Sunlight’s the best disinfectant - and we’re opening the blinds.🌞 Labor is moving ahead with a public register of who really owns Australian companies. Transparency keeps markets honest and economies strong. https://t.co/RSH9T63daD #auspol

Our governments are already caving in to pressure from the gas industry to export our domestic gas reserves. 90% of WA's gas is exported or used for export. We don't have a gas shortage problem. We have a gas export problem. @MarkOgge #auspol

It’s great to see the cross bench coming out early and with strength opposing the Govt’s evil #FOI Amendment Bill. Here’s @helenhainesindi’s amendment killing off the ability of the Govt to charge FOI applications fees and for officials to summarily dismiss FOI requests. #auspol

But it’s clear who’s paying. Another (non-refundable) $1,000,000,000 of your money about to be shunted to the US to build THEIR industry capability 🤦‍♂️. 2/2 #AUKUS #USUKA #auspol

🚨 If you’re with AMEX this should concern you🚨 This complaint has been ongoing for more than 3 years now, I have raised it in Senate Estimates multiple times and it seems the privacy risk STILL exists.

Thankfully we finally have a privacy investigation into serious security and data protection issues with American Express. These have been known for years and include the risks to data integrity of politicians and thousands of other card holders

THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES. Corruption (conflicts of interest) in plain sight with Trump and his family’s business interests (crypto/meme coin, real estate, golf resorts) exposed in “Chasing Trump’s Billions” @4corners. Integrity should be fundamental in a reliable global ally.

“Can I meet with Eric?” Prabowo Subianto to Trump, Egypt 14/10/25. “I’ll have Eric call” replies Trump. The Indonesian president needs to explain what this exchange, caught on a “hot mic”, was all about.

Since the Labor Party promised stronger action to curb climate change ahead of the 2022 election 31 new projects or extensions of existing projects have been waved through: 27 by Tanya Plibersek and four by the man who replaced her, Murray Watt.

The Albanese government has already approved 31 fossil fuel projects, and more than that are waiting, even as renewables overtake coal as the top source of electricity.

Old news, but I need to remind some people on here that you can now build a 1GW *baseload* solar + battery plant at about the same cost as a 1GW nuclear plant. And 5x faster. UAE launches world’s first 24/7 solar PV battery storage gigascale project

The US plan was always to use AUKUS as a distraction — while quietly turning Australia into a massive series of US military bases. All approved by acquiescent governments.

Published in @ForeignAffairs this piece is bound to remind the US how shaky is support for AUKUS. Australians are wise to the fact in 2030s we ain’t getting subs but something truly horrible: US ones stationed in our ports as big juicy nuclear targets

According to @PhillipCoorey and his well placed informants it was @AlboMP who insisted on the super “unrealised assets” retreat. Our PM didn’t want a “franking credits” backlash from aspirational $3m+ egg nesters and farming families. Good intel.

Good to see the Coalition will not back the government’s Freedom of Information changes that would increase secrecy. Rebuilding trust in our politicians and public service requires more transparency, not less. #auspol
