Another NSW Police scandal. Another allegation of excessive force. Another allegation that officers closed ranks. Another whistleblower raising concerns. How many more stories do we need before there’s a Royal Commission into NSW Police?

Defence Minister @RichardMarlesMP says Australia is now getting second-hand US submarines under AUKUS, but still for the same $370 billion price tag! At this point we might as well check Facebook Marketplace. #AUKUS #AusPol

A man ends up in ICU with broken ribs and a punctured lung. A Judge finds police “collusion and false evidence”. The latest report about NSW Police arrogance and brutality aired by Four Corners should concern every Aussie. Time for a Royal Commission.

The world’s highest international body raises credible concerns about sexual violence by Israeli forces against Palestinian detainees. Israel’s response is not an independent investigation. It’s to stop talking to the UN Secretary-General. That should concern everyone.

Expel Israel’s ambassador to Australia now!👇🏽

Australians in the IDF are the war crimes question we can’t ignore. If they’re part of alleged war crimes, shouldn’t the AFP investigate? We asked these questions about Afghanistan and Syria. Why not Gaza? www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/austral...

Question for @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social: Do Australians detained overseas deserve equal protection from their government regardless of which country is responsible? Or is Israel exempt from serious criticism?

“A submarine deal with no submarines.” - Malcolm Turnbull on AUKUS. Imagine what $368 billion could do for housing, healthcare, education, climate resilience and renewable energy instead.👇🏽 #AUKUS #AusPol

Today is Nakba, when Palestinians commemorate “the catastrophe” of mass displacement that accompanied the creation of Israel after the Holocaust. Maybe Australia struggles so much with this conversation because we’re still in denial about our own history?

The environment is our second biggest asset after people. But the Australian government spends less than 6 cents out of every $100 in its budget protecting it. Watch and share.👇🏽

I love #Eurovision. But I won’t be watching this year. Russia was banned over Ukraine. Israel remains despite Gaza. Amnesty calls it “blatant double standards”. At some point, culture and conscience collide.

Barnaby Joyce has finally stopped pretending. Back in the Nationals he had to at least fake concern about climate change. Now he’s openly aligned with Pauline Hanson and pushing “abolish the climate department” nonsense. That’s not policy. It’s climate denial cosplay.👇🏽

Trumpists saying “Iran’s rulers are bad” as justification for war is like saying your neighbour’s a bastard so it’s humanitarian to burn down his house. Bombing a country is not solidarity with its people. It’s violence dressed up as virtue.

Labor’s so-called new strategy is a Zombie Defence policy that walks Australia right into more risk, uncertainty, chaos and vulnerability.👇🏽

Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social and Foreign Minister Wong won’t acknowledge “genocide” in Gaza. So how do they explain BBC analysisz that shows 60% of children shot by Israel in Gaza are shot in the head or chest?👇🏽

A ‘grant’ of $13.4 million to US weapons giant Northrop Grumman which turned over $42.0 billion in 2025. Why is @AlboMP giving Aussie taxpayers’ money to a giant US weapons company for F-35 work instead of funding the Flying Doctor or local communities? 👇🏽

Trump’s now threatening a blockade to unblock a blockade he created. That’s not strategy. That’s derangement with missiles. Why is Australia still on alliance autopilot @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social ?👇🏽

Has anyone else noticed that the people who get hysterical about electric cars and electric trucks, never get their knickers in a knot about electric power tools, electric kettles, electric toothbrushes, electric TVs, electric toasters … It says a lot!

Trump’s latest war-mongering is a brutal reminder that AUKUS was always a dangerous bet. It won’t make Australia safer. It will FUKUS - by tying us tighter to US recklessness and war. My blog from last year looks even more relevant now.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/aukus-i...

I’m sick of the weasel words on Israel’s war crimes and genocide from our Prime Minister. Spain’s said Netanyahu’s “contempt for life and international law is intolerable”. And even Italy’s far-right PM is calling it out. So I called out @senatorwong.bsky.social at DFAT today.👇🏽

Trump has announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran after threatening to commit war crimes there. But look at the human toll already: 1,900+ Iranians killed, at least 20,000 injured, up to 3.2 million displaced, and 498 schools plus 236 health facilities struck.

While Trump tries to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, Israel is still devastating Lebanon: 1,400+ killed, 4,400+ injured, 1.2 million displaced, and 14% of the country reportedly occupied. For Australia, that would be bigger than NSW and Victoria combined. Enough is enough.

Aussies are being told this is not our war and that our role is only “defensive” by @AlboMP. So why are SAS troops in the Middle East? You don’t deploy James Bond for admin and evacuation paperwork. What exactly are they doing there?

The Israeli Ambassador used @PressClubAust today to say there’s no “genocide” in Gaza and to frame Israel’s actions as purely “defensive”. I find that “offensive” not “defensive” so I took Noor #SchoolGirlUnderBombs down for some truth telling.👇🏽

The future of trucking is in the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra today! New Energy Transport’s electric trucks are cleaner, faster, and more efficient their dirty diesel older cousins.👇🏽

Pauline Hanson reckons it’s OK to fly around in Gina Rinehart’s private jets because it “saves taxpayers money”. It’s not thrift, it’s grift!👇🏽

Fake strongmen create chaos, demand applause, then leave everyone else with the bill. That’s Trump on Iran. And anyone in Australia still cheering him or Pauline Hanson on should stop pretending this politics helps ordinary people. Read more here.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/trump-l...

Australia signed a global deal to phase out incentives that harm biodiversity - then left fossil fuel support out of its own report card. You can’t protect nature while subsidising its destruction @AlboMP. That’s greenwashing by omission.

Today’s garden harvest of tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplants and flowers adds nothing to GDP. But buying the plastic-wrapped, chemically sprayed, high-carbon-mile version from Woolworths does. That’s not prosperity. That’s a broken measure. 🧵1/2

Even in remnant Gondwanaland forests like this, microplastics are poisoning NSW’s waterways. Australia has to get serious about fixing plastic pollution for good. For our kids and Country.👇🏽

$37 billion is enough to pay over 41,000 teachers or nurses for 10 years. Instead? It’s being blown out on dodgy Defence contracts that the @AlboMP government wants to hide. Funny how there’s never any money for people, but always a blank cheque for militarism.👇🏽

Trump says America doesn’t need Australia in his war on Iran. Good. Anthony Albanese should listen. It’s not our war, not our fight, and not in Australia’s interests. Stay out of Trump’s war.

Renewable energy is national security. Oil ties Australia to war, price shocks and choke points like the Strait of Hormuz. Solar and wind do not. No one can bomb the sun or blockade the wind.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/trump-s...

Pauline Hanson says climate action is a scam. But when there’s a solar rebate for her own house? Suddenly subsidies are fine. That’s not principle. That’s hypocrisy on the roof.

First it was: we support it. Then: we’re not participating. Now: we’re just defending. Australia’s sending military aircraft, personnel and missiles into the Gulf. That’s not staying out of war. That’s how @AlboMP sells war to the Aussie public - one euphemism at a time.

Trump’s war against Iran is distracting people from more than the Epstein files. New science shows the planet is not just heating - it is heating much faster. More in my blog.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/the-sci...

Come on @AlboMP. A US attack submarine isn’t a cruise ship with a deck-chair area where Aussie sailors can hang out while torpedoes are fired. If Aussie sailors were on the sub that sank the Iranian warship, telling us they “didn’t participate” is offensive and absurd.

Trump just threatened Spain for saying “no” to US use of Spanish bases - trade threats and sovereignty bullying. And Aussie Trumpists still say criticising him “helps China”? China doesn’t talk about allies like this. Trump does.

Either defend the law, or admit you’re defending the Trump Regime alliance @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social. A government that claims to defend the “rules-based order” but outsources legality to the bombers is morally bankrupt!

Penny Wong’s spinning another one when she says Australia’s “not participating” in Trump’s war in Iran. We may not be pulling the trigger, but Australia hosts Pine Gap which makes sure US bombs and missiles hit their targets. When the US goes to war, Australia goes to war!👇🏽

International law 101: even if you think the US and Israel had good reasons, countries can’t just bomb another country because they think it’s the “bad guy”. The rule is: no attacks unless the UN signs off, or it’s clear self-defence. Once that rule breaks, everyone’s less safe.

On Iran, @albomp.bsky.social has jumped straight onto the Trump-Netanyahu bandwagon, instead of defending the rules-based order Australia claims to believe in. We can condemn the Iranian regime and still oppose illegal wars by choice. Australia is acting like a Trump Regime rubber stamp.

Epstein. Andrew. And the awkward truth: the UK royals are also Australia’s royals - a hereditary Head of State we don’t choose. I reckon Australia’s grown up enough to pick our own Head of State. Republic or monarchy? What are your thoughts?

Trump Tower on the Gold Coast? How can we allow that? A beachfront billboard for a political brand. Should Australia’s skyline be a MAGA culture-war monument. Yes or no?

Pauline Hanson says “ordinary Australians” aren’t welcome in places with Muslim communities. I know what it’s like to be an “ordinary Aussie” - I worked in an abattoir to put myself through uni. My local shops prove her wrong.👇🏽

What do Pauline Hanson and One Nation really stand for? I break it down. And it’s not pretty.👇🏽

Less than $1b a year to protect biodiversity - over $26b a year in incentives likely to harm it. A 26:1 budget ratio for destruction.  Blog: www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/the-aus... Action: senator.katy.gallagher@aph.gov.au (Subject: 26:1 is not a Nature Strategy)

Another massive coal project approved - on a Friday arvo, quietly, under the radar. The 35th major fossil fuel approval since Labor came to power in 2022. Tag @albomp.bsky.social and your local MP to say “no more new coal and gas.” #auspol #climatecrisis

Before its President planted a peace tree in Canberra, Israel was bulldozing the graves of Australian soldiers in Gaza. WTFreak!👇🏽

Footage from Sydney on 9 Feb 2026 is deeply disturbing. Whatever your politics, peaceful protest is a democratic right. If you want an independent investigation and release of all NSW Police body cam footage, comment “INVESTIGATE” and tag @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social and your MP.

This on the main road in Canberra that runs past the residence of Prime Minister @AlboMP. “Herzog Go Home”. I gave it the Angels ‘Am I ever gonna see your face again’ sound track! #gaza #israel #genocide #auspol

Go home Isaac Herzog. You’re not welcome in Australia. Canberrans calling out Israel’s genocide on Gaza. And shame on you @AlboMP. The Israeli President invite is not in our name.

Why criticising Israel isn’t antisemitism - in a nutshell.👇🏽

Shame @SenatorWong and @AlboMP! Australia just rejected Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Spain and the UK in favour of Israel! We refused their invitation to condemn Israel’s illegal demolition of UN facilities in East Jerusalem.👇🏽

Australia says it stands for human rights, non-violence and opposition to racism. So why are we hosting the President of a state currently before the International Court of Justice facing allegations of genocide? This is a choice made in our name. Not in my name.

If Scott Morrison wants to lecture Aussies about social cohesion from overseas, he needs to take a good hard look the mirror first. Watch, like, share.👇🏽

Trump’s “Board of Peace” proposal is giving off Star Wars Emperor vibes. France already said no. @AlboMP should too. Watch and share.👇🏽 #auspol

When Trump takes over Greenland, is Australia really going to ditch its European friends to stay in his good books? Will we allow the Trump to use Pine Gap to attack NATO members? Will we keep sinking $360 billion in AUKUS? www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/greenla... Watch and share.👇🏽

Lack of UN peacekeepers in Gaza is indicative of the need for UN reform. A Security Council where any one of either the US, UK, Russia, China or France can hold the rest of the world to ransom isn’t fit for purpose. The US and Russia are the worst offenders. Watch and share.👇🏽

Israel is blocking almost 40 humanitarian organisations from operating in Gaza, including Médecins Sans Frontières. At the same time, hundreds ofPalestinians have been killed since the so-called ceasefire began. This is not what a ceasefire looks like. #Gaza #Ceasefire

Calling out Israel for its genocide in Gaza isn’t antisemitism. Just like criticising ISIS, Hamas and the Taliban isn’t Islamophobia. It’s the human thing to do. What is wrong, is the dog whistling and hate coming from the Right and the Left!

In response to Bondi, Australians must choose each other - not more hate and guns. Full blog.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/bondi-w...

Banning social media for under-16s is a blunt tool for a complex problem. We need smarter, evidence-based fixes. Here’s five reasons why Albo’s ban won’t work.👇🏽 #onlinesafety #auspol

A social-media ban for under-16s won’t protect kids. Prohibition never does. If the @AlboMP government really cared about their futures, it would start by getting serious on climate. And it would regulate the dodgy tech bros, not our youth.👇🏽 #auspol #ClimateAction

My teenagers have done >60,000 km in our Nissan Leaf in four years. Two services. And we’ve rarely paid to recharge. 99% of the time it trickle-charges from our rooftop solar. EV myths don’t match real life. More here.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/debunki...

“Recyclable” doesn’t mean “recycled”. The little triangle has become Australia’s favourite get-out-of-guilt-free card. More than 85% of this stuff isn’t actually recycled. It ends up in landfill or our environment. 🧵1/2

“Within the rules” isn’t the same as “OK”’ Travel entitlements keep getting gamed - by both major parties. Time to rebalance Parliament with credible independents. #auspol #Integrity #Accountability #Transparency

FIFA makes-up a new Peace Prize to hand to Donald Trump. And Australia hands-over billions of dollars to the Trump Regime for nuclear submarines we’ll probably never get. Watch and share.👇🏽

I’ve just posted a new blog + video arguing Australia is becoming an On-line Bunnings for F-35 parts - click-and-collect in a global fighter-jet supply chain. Watch/read here and tell me what you think. www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/australia-an-on-line-bunnings-warehouse-for-f35-fighter-jet-parts

Ceasefires are meant to end violence, not just headlines. If Palestinian people are still being killed every day, that isn’t peace. It’s a managed continuation of atrocity by Israel. Read my full blog via the link below.👇🏽

Trucks on the Newell Highway. #eBike4Australia

I was tempted to load my e-bike into this Suzuki Mighty Boy in Goondiwindi Qld and drive all the way back to Canberra. But I just took it for a short spin instead, and then hit the Newell Highway on my bike. #eBike4Australia #AlterCOP

Made it to BrisVegas a day early! See you at #AlterCOP Australia tomorrow - IRL or online. Get your free tickets here.👇🏽 www.altercop.com/australia

Got waylaid yesterday on Bundjalung Country by heavy rain. But am back on the road and am aiming to hit BrisVegas tonight. A day earlier than planned. Can’t wait to speak and engage at #AlterCOP30 Australia on Monday. #eBike4Australia #ActiveHope #ClimateAction

Cycling to #AlterCOP Australia through Birpai Country today along the coast in Crowdy Bay National Park NSW.

I’ve already smashed out 150km from Newcastle to Forster today and have another 40km to get to Taree where I’m sleeping tonight. Sore knees. But worth it with scenery like this for 50km through Myall Lakes National Park. #eBike4Australia #AlterCop
