Angus Taylor&#8217;s heckled appearance and his pledge to shield mines from climate activists fed a broader narrative of the Coalition moving right. Running alongside was anger at Labor&#8217;s foreign policy, with Trump&#8217;s diesel deal with Putin and US sanctions on the International Criminal Court prompting calls for Penny Wong and Anthony Albanese to take a firmer stance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 12px;\">Key issues included the US alliance and AUKUS, with many posts demanding the government cancel the pact or speak up on the ICC, and Energy Minister Chris Bowen&#8217;s rejection of Russian diesel drawing both praise and scepticism. Gaza and Palestine remained a major thread, with rallies marking a Global Day of Action and calls to remove Jillian Segal as Antisemitism Envoy. Data centres, particularly the proposed $40 billion Beetaloo project on Kungarakan Country in the Northern Territory, drew sustained opposition over water, power and Indigenous land, while Labor&#8217;s climate record and preference flows from the Greens also featured heavily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 12px;\">The most widely shared post was a commentary from Simon Rosenberg, who wrote that Penny Wong had been &#8220;hugely disappointing&#8221; as foreign minister, attracting more than 120 likes. Overall the tone was angry and largely left-leaning, with frequent frustration directed at Labor from the left and at One Nation and the Coalition from both sides, though the conversation was dominated by repeated hashtags and partisan commentary rather than policy detail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:13px; color:#555; border-top:1px solid #eee; padding-top:10px; margin:14px 0 0;\">Top topics: <strong style=\"color:#333;\">One Nation Rise<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">US Foreign Policy<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">AUKUS Alliance<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Gaza and Palestine<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Data Centres Opposition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px; color:#999; font-style:italic; margin:12px 0 0;\">AI-generated from BlueSky #auspol posts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #ccc; border-radius:10px; padding:20px; margin-bottom:25px;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:22px; margin:0 0 12px; color:#333;\">\n                Consultant Tenders<br \/>\n            <\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 15px;\">\n                $511,531,212 in Federal contracts to the big consultants in 2026. $0 yesterday. {1133} <a href='https:\/\/politicalgadgets.com\/page.html?search=tenders_pi' target='_blank'>[link]<\/a>\n            <\/p>\n<p>            <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/politicalgadgets.com\/social_media_images\/frontpage\/tenders_big4.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%; border-radius:10px; margin-top:10px;\"><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #ccc; border-radius:10px; padding:20px; margin-bottom:25px;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:22px; margin:0 0 12px; color:#333;\">\n                Donations<br \/>\n            <\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 15px;\">\n                Transcendent Australia made $630,646 in Federal political donations. <a href='https:\/\/politicalgadgets.com\/page.html?search=donations' target='_blank'>[link]<\/a>\n            <\/p>\n<p>            <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/politicalgadgets.com\/social_media_images\/frontpage\/donors.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%; border-radius:10px; margin-top:10px;\"><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #ccc; border-radius:10px; padding:20px; margin-bottom:25px;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:22px; margin:0 0 12px; color:#333;\">\n                Flights<br \/>\n            <\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 15px;\">\n                The VIP fleet flew at least 1,382 km in the last few days.
