I report these as spam but got a third one this morning saying foreign student fees will double & Aust students free. 😝

Just got my second unsolicited text from H Fong of Trumpet Of Patriots. This one promising an 80% cut in immigration and 20 minute fast trains to the CBD. Not sure where from or which CBD.

I am moving over to the Bluesky app. Though there are a lot of people I enjoy following on X I am finding X algorithms are increasingly filling my feed with posts that I am NOT interested in reading. Hoping Bluesky will be more kind. bsky.app/profile/jo-luck.bsk…

I don't know about you all but If I saw more of Laura Tingle on my @abcnews and less of Greg Jennette, Patricia Karvelas and David Speers, I'd switch back to old aunty again.
Who else?

But NOT with access to a choice of up to date COVID Vaccines. @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP you need to protect Australians from COVID.

The Australian Government is supporting you with tax cuts, energy bill relief, and changes to student loans.

Very good question. @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP we need action on vaccines now. If the only mitigation is vaccines we need better access. Plus better PH messaging.

BREAKING—the FDA has just authorized the new Novavax vaccine, tailored to JN1 related variants. Anyone age 12 and over are eligible. You may receive it 2 months after a prior version of COVID-19 shot (and prior infection, though FDA memo didn’t specify).

Well done. I agree. The ABC used to set a high standard for news & current affairs. With the exception of 4 Corners & @latingle not much is worth watching or reading on the ABC these days…very disappointing.

After taking a break, I've written some words
Words about the how the ABC & the Albanese govt are practicing the same sad routine, deliberately keeping themselves a small & camouflaged via OSS (Organisational Survivalist Syndrome)

He won’t be able to vote but he could become President. 🤦🏻♀️
The American voting system is crazy. Thankfully we have the AEC.

Call us old-fashioned, but we do think that 34 felony convictions should disqualify one from public office.

Also cowering to the LNP.

All Justin Stevens should have said is "We stand by Laura Tingle."
Instead.... FMD. What a way to cower to news.corp.

A vital read as @AlanKohler absolutely skewers the Federal Government's disastrous new gas policy
This beggars belief, especially given how small the industry actually is and the (near)-criminally low rates of tax foreign exporters pay

This is appalling. Every Labor voter in QLD should be contacting @StevenJMiles office and asking why John Gerrard continues to hold his position as CHO.
Sicko.

A friend told me that just before Xmas her friends said their whole family had COVID. She said a quiet Xmas at home then. The reply was we plan on going to the nursing home to see Granny. 🤯 @AlboMP @Mark_Butler_MP. this is a result of poor PH messaging.

And so it begins…where there was once bipartisanship there is now division. The First Nations of Australia deserve much better than this. I weep for the future. Destructive Trumpian politics now in Australia to the detriment of all of us.

Qld LNP OL David Crisafulli has supported one thing, legislated it and now reneged on it. Sounds like something Peter Dutton would do. Maybe they should just make Dutton the state opposition leader as well? #qldpol

It is very Trumpian and that is a huge worry. I do NOT want us to go the way of the USA.

Problem is, @abcnews is far more interested in ticking the ‘he said, she said’ box, than doing their actual job of holding power to account. If ‘No’ campaign had been held accountable for their lies from day one of the referendum, they would have had no choice but to stop lying.

The bitter politics and hypocrisy of the Voice debate will mark it as yet another ugly chapter in Australia's history abc.net.au/news/2023-10-07/b… This article should be essential reading for all voters. Well done @latingle

Tweeps, here's my latest for @shot_au
"But that’s where we are with our, your, their ABC – descending more and more into the genre of drive-by, shouting provocateurs rather than a platform to present facts and information"
It's not quite as easy as ABC

What is happening to 'our' ABC? theshot.net.au/general-news/…. Could not agree more with @RonniSalt. The ABC’s flagship news and current affairs programs have become unwatchable in recent years.

Could not agree more. @abcnews is just allowing anyone to speak, even if they are saying things that are blatantly untrue, and not providing any analysis. Very few are pulling up those who speak untruths. 😩

I know I’m not the only one complaining about the way @abcnews has completely failed in their referendum reporting. All that bullying News Corp does of the ABC has had the desired effect. Lifetime supporters of the ABC are now devastated at their lack of journalistic integrity.
