ABC’s news breakfast cross to its Adelaide reporter this morning is about Taylor Swift’s Era’s tour - instead of this 👇 We are very broken 😞 #auspol

Fascinating to see Amy Remeikis dropping all these truth bombs about the true agenda behind Dutton’s nuclear push in her new role working for @australiainstitute.org.au. She’s had to leave mainstream media to say this - all of it factual, watchdog journalism. Why can’t mainstream say it too?

“The soaring cost of rent, food, and essentials is driving people on income support payments deeper into poverty… The way to end poverty is by raising the rate of income support. One of the world’s wealthiest nations should not be condemning people to poverty.” theaimn.com/income-suppo...

The government should build public housing rather than waiting for it to be gifted to the community by developers who will extract the cost of it by overdevelopment. Fund it by value capture, land tax, rents or whatever, but don’t let the vulnerable become homeless and hopeless.

Just wondering why lying in wait for someone and then putting several bullets into them is pre-meditated murder, but creating an algorithm to deny someone the medication that keeps them alive isn’t?

‘If any good can be salvaged from this evil time, it is the solidarity of ordinary people, the crowds assembling again and again and again at events at which noisy contingents of Jews and Palestinians stand side-by-side…Writers – and everyone else – must take sides…’ Thankyou Jeff Sparrow.

I sincerely believe this was a significant factor, Maryann. My daughter lives in the US and her partner is a committed Democrat (who voted) but several in their circle did not because of Gaza. I don’t think the older Dems (who, of course, run everything) understood the (rightful) degree of concern.

In electorates with significant Chinese and Muslim populations, AUKUS raises concerns. Policies like AUKUS fuel distrust, perpetuate racism, and ignore community voices. Voter education is essential to challenge a foreign policy that prioritises militarism over equality and dignity for all. #auspol

Fortunately there is adequate and affordable #housing for everyone in Australia, so it only seems right that our collective investment funds should now fix Britain’s housing crisis, she said sarcastically.

We killed another 21 aged care residents this week. About 8% of aged care homes in Australia are currently experiencing a COVID outbreak, putting many more thousands of people at risk. 133 new outbreaks, 21 deaths and 1,313 COVID infections in just 7 days.

1000 people — maybe even more — had their welfare payments unlawfully CANCELLED because Dept of Employment / Services Australia can’t read their self-defeating legislation that dictates mutual obligations to jobseekers. Latest in a series of bungles. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Justice, 5x as long for stealing 30,000,000x less. But he aggravated his sentence by being homeless and surrendering himself. While the other guy was a billionaire, and we can't be putting people like that in jail, because they are us. Or them as the case may be.

If there's a protocol or "rule" in the Senate that you can't call a racist a racist, what's the fucking point of your existence in the scheme of things. I actually expect our parliaments to be places where the truth can be spoken. Out loud. Every day. #auspol #IStandWithSenatorPayman

Ask most Australians who they think is responsible for the most heinous immigration laws and they will probably pick the Coalition. In reality Labor introduced mandatory detention, offshore processing, “no boat arrival will ever settle here” and these terrible new deportation laws. Bipartisan evil.

I wish this, too. That's why I'm so aggressive with my headlines on this topic. Because you can just tell the truth. It's scary, but you totally can. More people should know that. And if a bunch of genocidal freaks don't like you, well, good, ya know? Your conscience can rest easy.
