Posts questioning Wong&#8217;s comments on whether Palestinian elections could be held, and criticism of the government&#8217;s decision not to back the &#8220;Red Lines&#8221; package, drew some of the highest engagement of the day, with several posts calling for an end to AUKUS and an end to ties with Israel. The posts were framed largely by left-leaning and Greens-aligned accounts, while others pressed the government on the cost of living.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 12px;\">Key issues included Gaza and foreign policy, with users urging Labor to sanction Israel and accusing ministers of complicity in a genocide. Cost-of-living concerns featured heavily, with renewed calls for the Raise the Rate campaign on welfare, complaints about fuel prices and the Iran war, and attacks on the government&#8217;s fossil fuel approvals and windfall-tax stance. Political funding and transparency also surfaced, including criticism of Labor&#8217;s FOI court strategy and data-centre donations, alongside pressure for deepfake bans in political advertising. One Nation&#8217;s poll performance, including a Resolve survey showing it at 25 per cent and a DemosAU mega-poll, prompted debate over whether the party&#8217;s rise is slowing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 12px;\">A standout post, shared 118 times, argued that the Red Lines package was being ignored by Australia&#8217;s political and media establishment, with the author pointing to the word &#8220;genocide&#8221; as the reason. The tone across the feed was combative and sceptical of both major parties, with a notable undercurrent of anger at the duopoly and calls to vote Greens or independent. Many posts were reposts or automated hashtag feeds, so the sample reflects the activist fringe more than the broader electorate.<\/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;\">Gaza and Foreign Policy<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Cost of Living<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Penny Wong and Israel<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Political Funding and Transparency<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">One Nation Polling<\/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<div style=\"max-width:100%; margin:0;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\">Register of Interests Update \u2014 Mary Aldred<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 4px 0;\">Monash, Victoria<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\">Liberal Party<\/p>\n<h3 style='margin:16px 0 8px 0;'>Additions<\/h3>\n<table style='border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;'>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style='text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;'>Person<\/th>\n<th style='text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;'>Item<\/th>\n<th style='text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;'>Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap;'><b>Self<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap;'>12.

It was launched in Canberra in 2019 and led by ANU associate professor Meg Keen. It was described as part of the government&#x27;s Pacific Step-up. Its advisory board was chaired by former Defence Force chief Mark Binskin. It was funded by DFAT and designed in consultation with Pacific Island nations.<\/p>\n<p>DFAT&#x27;s tender notice says the college offers fully funded strategic training to Pacific security officials. It also gives technical assistance for national and regional security strategies and supports dialogue on regional security priorities. Phase II focus areas include training linked to the Boe Declaration on Regional Security, an annual Pacific Peace and Security Dialogue, technical assistance to Pacific Islands Forum members, and management of the advisory board.<\/p>\n<p>The market approach sought a managing contractor, with a single lead organisation signing the contract. Consortia and subcontracting were permitted. A 2025 independent review by Strategic Development Group preceded the tender. A listing for the tender gave a budget of AUD 20.4 million. ANU has also led other DFAT-funded Pacific work, including the Pacific Research Program, delivered with the Lowy Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Sources: dfat.gov.au; developmentaid.org; themandarin.com.au; defenceconnect.com.au <a href='https:\/\/politicalgadgets.com\/page.html?search=tsum' target='_blank'>[link]<\/a>\n            <\/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                All tenders<br \/>\n            <\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 15px;\">\n                 $66,167,456 in Fed Govt contracts given today.
