Pragmatic progressive. Tired of career party hacks who consider political office an entitlement. Believe neoliberalism has concentrated wealth & accelerated inequality. Accept anthropogenic climate change threat is existential. Enjoy landscape photography
Yes it's time for New blood in @australianlabor.bsky.social ,
Out With,
@albomp.bsky.social
Penny Wong
Richard Marles
Katy Gallagher
Don Farrell
Tanya Plibersek
Catherine King
Murray Watt
For starters.
Don't worry, everyone with more than 15 years as a politician should be dumped, New blood.
At at time when we need strong decisive leadership, in @albomp.bsky.social we have a spineless PM unable to put the national interest first.
Am disgusted at his lack of energy, vision, and fight.
Wish he’s just get out of the way, retire & hand the baton to someone dynamic and proactive.
He’s a dud

“The point is Gough Whitlam was a giant, a maverick. Albo is a political flea, an unprincipled flea at that, who represents the ‘roll back’ times begun by Reagan and Thatcher. He is a Thatcher, a Blair, a Bush, a Morrison, all in one.” - John Pilger.

Gina Rinehart kicks own goal

@albomp.bsky.social making Australia complicit in an illegal war. And letting Australia be used as an American military asset.
Now Wong has stated that Australia could provide defensive military assistance.
@australianlabor.bsky.social are making us a target.
We need Change.

"Power unused in the face of injustice is not restraint. It is a choice"
The Labor Party has drifted from its historic purpose, retreated from reform. Andrew Brown with the 1st in a series - what it means for Australia.

Wonder how Gina Rinehart is feeling about her close friend #trump as diesel reserves to mine her iron ore and to ship it internationally are fast dissipating.
What a greedy fool!

Netanyahu’s window was closing.
He knew #Trump would be impeached when Democrats take back the House in the midterms
In November.
Trump has proven to be his useful idiot
Weapons of Mass Deception…round 2
There was plenty of talk.
Seems addiction to the public trough is hard to break
“Albanese’s enthusiasm to get back on the fascist genocide train shows he has no concern about backlash from the opposition
…but every day he’s losing support from the Labor base.” @davemilbo.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol
Every Australian journalist worthy of the job title must interrogate the Australian government on the risks of getting directly involved in an out-of-control military conflict initiated illegally by the fickle fascist in the White House, and his genocidal ally. #auspol

The trade union movement in Australia was hijacked many years ago by the pro-Israel lobby
The infiltration and manipulation through travel agencies, money and internal interest groups was there long before Shorten & co walked in - they just blindly carried it all along.
Year on year, Scandinavian nations are rated happiest in the world.
Notably they’re committed to democratic socialist policies, don’t give their commodities to American multinationals for free, don’t follow USA into ill-conceived conflicts, and aren’t lap dogs for it.
Compare Australia…
#auspol
Penny Wong deploying her considerable intellectual and political skills on #Insiders.
Unfortunately they are being put to a cause that does not promote peace common sense and our sovereignty.
We are being sucked into war and no amount of verbal gymnastics can hide this reality.
Case of political institutionalisation writ large.
The editor-in-chief of Haaretz gives an alternative view on Netanyahu and the danger that he poses not just to Palestinians and the wider region, but to Israel's future.
An Israeli perspective we almost never get in Australian mainstream media, who largely support the war criminal and genocidaire.
@senatorwong.bsky.social desperately clutching at her pearls trying to find an excuse to drag us into another illegal war by trying to imply some graffiti, a few threats, & a few gates set on fire is a justification that Iran has attacked us!!!
BS!
In Albanese's response to the illegal US-Israeli war, "political pragmatism is the guiding principle".
No, Zoe Daniel. "Pragmatism" is a pathetic excuse for:
- abandoning principles
- sycophancy to Trump
- the #AUKUS disaster
- leadership failure to push for an independent foreign policy. #auspol
Grow a spine @australianlabor.bsky.social
Ironic that all the excuses the Orange Gerbil uses to justify his aggression against Iran, could also be applied against North Korea
…but North Korea doesn’t have oil

Wars Scoreboard:
China nil…last war was with Vietnam in 1979
America in the last three years has engaged in military actions in:
Iran
Venezuela
Yemen
Somalia
Syria
Lebanon
Ukraine
Gaza
‘Where is the China war we were warned of?’
There has been little rumbling from ALP representatives about the war in Iran, except maybe Ed Husic. Marles, has enormous power over the party room because of his control of the powerful Victorian right faction, many who are in Cabinet.
He worships the US - I kid you not!
Marles is a dope!
He’s being played like a fiddle by the yanks.
A private school bourgeois spiv who doesn’t possess a genuine ‘Labor’ cell in his body
Agree.
Duopoly is an entrenched cabal, fully owned by donors, which is intent on preserving the status quo.
We need to create a genuine ‘house of representatives’
This. Not the PM’s decision but all our representatives. #noWar
Everyone should repost this.. we need to Gov to know how the people feel!
Wong is a political has-been.
She’s been in politics so long, I can remember when she actually had objectivity and conviction.
Today, she’s as institutionalised as Albanese
As with #Trump, Kompromat driven politics
