Your Medicare card will be all you'll need to see the GP with our biggest ever boost to Medicare.

The choice at the next election: A Labor PM strengthening Medicare or Peter Dutton who strangled it. #auspol

Can you imagine what Dutton will do Medicare if he ever became PM #auspol

What Labor has done in bringing inflation under control, creating more jobs, raising wages, creating space for rate cuts, record SME growth & increasing investments in pensions, health & education shouldn’t, according to neoliberalism, be possible Labor did it NO ONE ELSE ANYWHERE ELSE HAS #auspol

Quick thoughts on some really encouraging new numbers on jobs and wages today. Average full time earnings are now $11,000 higher than when this Albanese Labor Government came to office. More to do, but making good progress together. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

Today’s decision by the independent Reserve Bank to lower interest rates is very welcome news for millions of Australians. This is the rate relief Australians need and deserve. It’s a demonstration of the substantial and sustained progress we’ve made on inflation together. #auspol #ausecon

The media, Opposition and far right lobby groups threw an unprecedented shower of shit at The Voice to Parliament & wiped it out. Any mildly progressive policy from Labor at this point would get exactly the same treatment and result.

I’d rather be rusted on than have the fucken wheels fall off, just saying.

The Daily Telegraph took part in a stunt in which a provocateur tried and failed to *stir up* antisemitism at an Egyptian restaurant in order to have it caught on camera. How's this for "social cohesion"? I wonder if any politicians will bother to comment www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Labor government commit half a billion dollars to improving Womens’ health Former LNP government hide in their offices to avoid thousands of women demanding action re violence against women….then tell those women they should be “grateful” that they weren’t “met with bullets” #LNPNeverAgain

QLD LNP are dumping electricity rebates for Queenslanders. There have been no rebates added to their budget for this year So, we will ALL lose our rebates thanks to the numpties who voted for the QLD LNP bec of their “youth crime” propaganda platform. What a surprise 🙄 Should be a fkn numpty tax

There’s something profoundly evil about the richest man in the world cutting food aid to the poorest people in the world.

The worst kind of left wing people are those who are constantly screaming at left wing major parties “fix everything! Fix everything now” without wanting to actually get involved in fixing things nor contributing any helpful ideas about how to fix them. You’re not helping! You’re making things worse

Superb video by Labor Senator Murray Watt on Dutton's plan to give free lunches to bosses. #auspol #AusVotes2025

Breaking news.

ABC’s Global Affairs Editor John Lyons has called out “the media” for keeping quiet about “huge oil & gas reserves off the coast of Gaza.” Says that if Trump “moves troops in” & gets the “Palestinians to leave” he’ll be able to steal it all from the Palestinians.

Albanese's calm, confident and dignified diplomacy is refreshing and reassuring. Why do so many people want to return to the shouty, shirt-fronting chaos of the previous government?

I’m blocking anyone who responds to my posts with “what we need are independents” because I’m not gonna host such dangerous naïveté on my platforms. Also, I note this line comes from accounts I’ve *never seen before* - Dutton’s path to the Lodge is preference flows from unknown independents. #auspol

Ask your local #independent candidate their views on #workersrights #unions #cashlesscards

Do not risk installing the LNP they will decimate all public services & workers protections Always put them last That’s where they put us #auspol

A terrible decision by Minister Tim Nicholls which could have deadly consequences for vulnerable young Queenslanders 😡

#classwar

Inflation down, wages up, unemployment low, investment in housing & cost of living relief. That's what Labor's delivering. Grateful for the opportunity to join Minister O'Neil & Matt Gregg in Ringwood on a big day talking about our substantial & sustained progress in the fight against inflation.
