Many framed the appointment as a test of Anthony Albanese&#8217;s leadership, with calls for her removal and for the office to be abolished. Critics on the left and in the Greens-aligned orbit also tied the issue to Gaza and the government&#8217;s stance on Israel, a combination that pushed the thread well beyond a routine policy debate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 12px;\">Key issues included the Segal controversy, Victoria&#8217;s November 28 state election, and the gas and tax debate. Posters pointed to the Australia Institute&#8217;s estimate that a 25 per cent gas export tax could have raised $79 billion, and to reports that 1,149 large companies paid no tax. Victorian politics drew attention over Jess Wilson&#8217;s stance on the Treaty, a four-way leadership debate scheduled for November 17, and a Roy Morgan poll showing the Coalition ahead 56-44. Robodebt and automated decision-making in aged care and the NDIS also resurfaced, alongside the Rex Patrick challenge over the Timor-Leste spying case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 12px;\">The most widely shared post came from Simon Rosenberg, who wrote that Segal &#8220;is not just a lobbyist, but a lobbyist for Israel,&#8221; attracting more than 240 likes. The overall tone was angry and distrustful, with many users describing the government as captured by vested interests and openly calling for independents and the Greens to be backed at the polls. Pro-government or defensive voices were scarce, and the conversation was further coloured by a steady stream of spam hashtags and Bluesky trending-tag noise.<\/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;\">Jillian Segal Controversy<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Victorian State Election<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Gas Export Tax<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Corporate Tax Avoidance<\/strong> &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; <strong style=\"color:#333;\">Robodebt and Automation<\/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                New Federal Government Grants gadget<br \/>\n            <\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#444; margin:0 0 15px;\">\n                Grants are in the news, and in Political Gadgets.
