At the risk of offending someone... The people opposed to the CGT changes are the worst sort of people. Like, anyone who can look at the horrid mess of Australian society as it presents itself to young people, and then go "I don't like it cause I'll be worse off." ... In the bin with you, knob head. #AusPol

I am quite critical of the Australian Labor Party, and I think with good reason. But it's also clear that there is significant opposition to even the most basic redistributive measures. #AusPol

"Critics argue targeting CGT, which applies to all investments including new shares and crypto, limits one of the only wealth-growth avenues available for young people." And here I was thinking that the main wealth growing avenues people had (young, old, whoever) was working and producing goods and services for other people. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-17/jim-chalmers-defends-impact-of-tax-changes-on-young-investors/106689268 #Auspol

somehow i missed this two days ago -- Kos Samaras: https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/05/a-decade-of-dog-whistles-and-a-decade-of-lost-voters/The Coalition’s path back to government runs through roughly 25 seats. The overwhelming majority of them sit in greater Sydney and greater Melbourne where the combined Indian and Chinese population is already large and still growing fast. These diaspora hear the Coalition talk about out-of-control migration and vote accordingly. #AusPol #WhyTheFuckIsLabor #HahahahaLiebs #NatsAreNuts #GreensYEAH #VoteGreens #VoteProgIndies #PHONkedinthehead

Julie Bishop resigns as ANU chancellor 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️ Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
ding dong, the... https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/9242275/julie-bishop-resigns-as-anu-chancellor-months-before-term-ends/ Julie Bishop has resigned as chancellor of the Australian National University, months before her term was due to expire in December. ACT Labor senator Katy Gallagher on Friday said she noted the resignation of Ms Bishop, after the Australian Financial Review reported the news. "The challenges facing ANU did not arise overnight, and rebuilding trust and confidence across the university community will take time and careful work," Senator Gallagher said. "I have consistently said the university leadership and Council need to work openly and constructively with staff, students and the broader community to rebuild confidence and agree on a path forward. "That remains the task ahead for the university." Independent senator David Pocock welcomed Ms Bishop's resignation. "In stepping aside, the chancellor is acting in the best interests of the ANU," he said in a statement. Ms Bishop, a former Liberal foreign minister, was first appointed to the role in August 2019, before beginning her second term in 2023. Her resignation follows a tumultuous period within the top Australian university after it revealed it was in serious financial trouble in 2024. More to come. 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️ 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️ 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️ #auspol #anu

Australia: one of the biggest gas exporters on Earth. Beer tax revenue: $2.7bn Gas export tax revenue: $1.5bn So apparently teachers, nurses and renters have to tighten their belts, but multinational gas giants get our resources on clearance sale. Norway built a $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund. We got “stable business settings” for Shell and Chevron. And remember, 16 years ago Kevin Rudd tried to introduce a proper mining resources tax. The mining lobby spent millions torching him and Australia is still paying the price. Funny how there’s always money for corporate subsidies, tax loopholes and endless population growth, but never enough for housing, Medicare or universities. #australia #gas #auspol #housing #costofliving https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy02pzxd4y4o

Labor have granted yet another heavily-polluting toxic gas drilling project: Annie Gas Field Project approved for waters near iconic Twelve Apostles in Otway Basin "The Victorian Greens have slammed the project, saying the government should not be approving fossil fuel projects that slow the energy transition. Environment Victoria has also criticised the approval. The not-for-profit's climate campaign manager Joy Toose said the government should be continuing to help more Victorian households and businesses switch to electric energy, instead of locking in new gas projects. " Labor is moving further and further over to the Far-Right every day in their constant appeasement of the Fossil Fuel Industry, the DT Regime and constant unwavering support of Israel the Terrorist State, when will their tyranny end? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-07/new-gas-field-near-twelve-apostles-approved/106651312 #LaborFail #ClimateChange #Environment #News #AUSPol #HumanRights #Activism

Derek Jones, 56, who works in finance, is the man in the white shirt from the now-infamous video footage with his hands clearly up as police very clearly start punching him and breaking his rips for no apparent reason during the peaceful protests against genocidist Herzog's visit back in March. (The video is also contained in the news link) https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/may/06/white-shirt-guy-assaulted-by-police-claims-sydney-herzog-rally-ntwnfb #BoycottIsrael #LaborFail #News #HumanRights #Activism #Gaza #Palestine #Law #AUSPol

auspol - despair Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

According to the latest opinion polls, 75.5% of the Australian federal vote is tied up in three parties:

  • the traditional party that has been captured by their donors
  • the other traditional party that has been captured by their donors
  • the racist party that has been captured by their donors

"Selling to Both Sides" - 'US approves $8.6bn in arms sales to Middle East allies' Selling to Israel, and also selling to those who will inevitably be fighting against an Israeli invasion soon too..

Yes Gina has bought another company, the One Nation business model. PH is not a battler, she’s just another grifter ready to be bought by someone with deep pockets. #AusPol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/30/gina-rinehart-one-nation-pauline-hanson-donations-ntwnfb

@feather1952@aus.social To be fair Gina has owned One Nation and Pauline Hanson for a while. It's just now that ON is polling so well that they can come out of the closet and be so open about their relationship. #Auspol
