AUSSIES PLEASE LISTEN

The Australian government wants to ban social media for under 16s across the country. The way they plan on enforcing this is by having to submit your ID. I don't know about you, but I don't want even more of my personal info online. Plus, teens kind of need socials! Talking to friends and family, communication with potential employers, entertainment - social media isn't the best for you, but you can't really live with none of it. This ban would potentially include Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, Snapchat, Tiktok, and LinkedIn, plus most other socials. Fuck Albanese.

Hey Aussies!

Humanity Bites on tiktok created this handy dandy little spreadsheet that breaks down how the ALP, LNP, and Greens have voted on various policies

In case you needed a comparison on who to vote for this election.

Okay, in light of the "vote blue or don't vote blue" argument I'm seeing around here, I'm gonna tell you all a story.

I'm Australian and I voted for the Labour Party in the last election. For context, the Labour Party is essentially the left democrat party for Australia, while the Liberal Party is the ring wing republican one. So, I did what you'd all call "voting blue" in the USA, but in Australia. Anthony Albanese is the leader of Labour Left, a faction within the Labour Party to push it towards more leftist policies and ideals. He promised to protect minorities and said he would advocate for a free Palestine. We all voted for him believing it would help and so far, it sounds good doesn't it?

Well, here we are and Anthony Albanese has so far been pushing against pro Palestine protests, trying to implement anti protest legislation and made things actively harder for minorities in Australia. He's done nothing that he promised and of course acted almost as bad as the Liberals when they were in just before. In fact, it's arguably worse since the Labour Party has been attacking the right to protest over the last several months. They haven't done shit for minorities and if argue the ALP has actively made our lives harder.

Is voting important or not important? I don't know if u can answer that, but I can say this; politicians shouldn't be trusted to carry out promises when they're only there for self interest, regardless of what label they use to advertise that self interest. You shouldn't depend on them for change and sit around waiting for that change to come from these people. And, most importantly? There is no difference between those who voted and those who didn't when the most left leaning candidate we had has now just become legally complicit in the ICJ for genocide. There is no lesser evil when even one of us is harmed, and there is no "well at least it's not as bad" when that means sacrificing each other for the sake of a few benefits, so we have to band together and fight the whole damn system. It doesn't matter who did what, because at the end of the day the power is to the people, not the politicians who clearly can't be trusted no matter if you voted for "the right one", or chose not to vote at all. So, sure, vote. But don't expect that to change the world. You change the world through getting up with your fellow community and making a stand through your own physical actions against he system, not waiting for a politician to change anything when it's their job to lie and cheat. Reliance on the system is how we all come to lose and division is how we're silenced.

We're in this together and we need to remember what's important; each other and the power WE hold when we work together and fight against the entire system itself, not some representative in a suit.

liberal voters and other right-wing sky news zombies (the Liberal party are Australia's conservatives) are fucking SEETHING that the treasurer has confirmed the upcoming budget will be a deficit, and using it as proof that Labor are "incompetent" and "bad economic managers". However, they're conveniently ignoring the fact that the last 2 budgets were both surpluses, and that the Liberals, who were in for a DECADE, gave us a deficit every year they were in power, but that's just fine apparently.

Of course, right-wingers in this country are playing "follow the leader" with America (as usual), and anyone who points out their hypocrisy is "woke" or something.

I know y'all r talking a lot abt the American national election, but reminder to all my Queenslanders to put Labor and/or Greens first tomorrow if U haven't voted yet. And remember to put the Liberals/LNP, Nationals, and One Nation last.

Also Clive Palmer last if his party is still running?

To Mr. Dutton,

Who are you?

You move and talk like a malfunctioning algorithm, calculated, soulless, hollow. I watch you speak and it’s as if your entire moral compass is powered by a corrupt hard drive, uploaded straight from the archives of fear-mongering politics and empty patriotism.

I imagine you as a child, Dutton. The one who never got his hands dirty, who tattled on classmates when the teacher left the room. You didn’t just obey, you complied. You enjoyed writing names on the board. Not out of duty, but because it gave you a sense of power. You were the self-appointed sheriff of order in a classroom that never asked for one. You betrayed your own soul back then, and you’ve just spent decades making it official.

And now? You're bending over for Clive Palmer’s dystopian daydreams—selling your spine for political clout and votes scraped from the bottom of a conspiracy-fed barrel. You’ve aligned yourself with the Patriots of Parrots, a chorus of misinformation squawking about freedom while shackled to the ideology of someone like Trump. Let’s be honest—this isn’t about leadership, it’s about performance. And you’ve become a caricature of one.

You're not leading, Peter. You’re following a dangerous, backward tide. A tide that wants to drag Australia into a culture war we never asked for, just to win over voters clinging to fear like it’s a national anthem.

You say you’re serving the people. Which people? The loudest? The most bitter? Or just the ones who smell like the kind of racism Queensland still hasn’t fully reckoned with?

Your loyalty is no longer to the country, but to the echo chambers, the headlines, and the ghost of Donald Trump’s shadow. Keep going down that path and see how far you get before even your own reflection stops recognizing you.

Because the truth is, the more you posture, the more we see it: you’re not protecting Australia. You’re just protecting your place in a crumbling old boys’ club, hoping no one notices the rot beneath your polished shoes.

Yours Truly

Moth Hawk.
