Claiming you’ll save money by cutting the public service is like me saying I’ll save money by cutting my grocery spend by dining out every night

This is a really useful page that shows you how your local member of the Australian parliament has voted in the past. I think this is useful so you can judge someone based on their choices and practical support for an issue, rather than just on which party they belong to. theyvoteforyou.org.au

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

"The Trump tariffs on our aluminium are a major test for the Albanese govt, could determine the election." FMD. Aluminium articles account for a bit over 1% of all our exports and just 13% of that goes to the USA. We really need to stop acting like pleasing Trump is vital to our economy

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus is one of the most prominent Jewish MPs Australia has ever had. It is important we hear his voice and views. Today, Peter Dutton tried to block him from speaking about anti-semitism in parliament, because it didn't suit his agenda. 😡 #auspol

I saw illegality and complicity with war crimes. That’s why I quit the UK Foreign Office, a devastating account by a UK diplomat who quit in Aug 2024. Ministers & senior officials protected arms deals facilitating death and horror in Gaza and Yemen. Parliament emasculated. No one held to account.

Silence so far from the Australian government on the current coral bleaching event on the northern Great Barrier Reef, repeating mass mortality there in 2016, 2017, 2020, and 2024, No press release = no Australian media coverage.
