Id recommend Australians listen to this podcast. It reveals how deeply,  disturbingly and frighteningly we are enmeshed with USA
open.spotify.com/episode/7clLu
(Episode 3 is also interesting about AUKUS)

Its from Malcolm Turnbull (who is probably the only Lib politician I would considering listening to). Our defence programme is dangerously flawed bc we are totally beholden to USA.

The #canberraliberals can fuck right off.

In the unlikely event I lodge a postal vote, I'll send it straight to the AEC thankyou very much, not to the LIBERAL PARTY so they can harvest data, and may or may not forward my vote on.

What happens when the Lib party staff member or volunteer notices that a postal vote is not going their way? Any guarantee there are not a few votes accidentally falling off the table in to the bin?

[Edit: this process harvests information about the voter, not their vote itself. This spam is only offering to 'help' us request a postal vote from the AEC.]

I cannot believe this practice is legal. But of course it is, because #australianlabor agrees with the Libs they should be exempt from #privacy laws.

Cheap nasty point scoring from #Dutton at #7th Oct memorials ystdy.

Remember hes pro white supremacy (and white supremacists are so very often anti-Jew anti-Papist as well).

Both Dutton and #Albanese would do well to remember that #Judaism is not #Zionism.

The latter was a political philosophy dating back to Herzl in 1896 and spoke of a Jewish homeland in Palestine where Arabs would be at best a minority and at worst entirely removed from the land of Zion.

#Netanyahu and his #Zionist donors and supporters don't want a peaceful two states solution.

We should be very wary of our politicians attending events held by any group in #Australia claiming to be Zionist.

Their voice should support Judaism and peace for Jews and Palestinians equally.

Australian Labor Party.

In order to fight racism we need to be more racist.
In order to prevent anthropogenic climate change we need to burn more fossil fuels.
In order to fight poverty we need to keep social security payments below poverty levels.
In order to stop a global war we need to spend more on the global war industry.
In order to maintain our democracy we have to punish whistleblowers and limit the right of people to protest against our corrupt governance.
In order to advance Labor policy we have to ostracise people who show support for Labor policy.

Flood and fire. In a broken world, welcome to the new normal.

Australia encouraging businesses to continue using fossil fuels with $11 billion of public money every 12 months. Our tax dollars working hard for offshore corporations that pay no tax.

Obsessive Support for new fossil fuel extraction in the mining sector, again for offshore corporations and a couple of local billionaires.

How long before rational people are called environmental extremists?
