Clever!! #auspol

FLACK: My real ambition was to be a concert pianist and to play Schumann and Bach and, you know, Chopin - the romantics. Those were my guys. And I was really sad that I had not reached my goal, which was to play at Carnegie Hall. I got there, but I got there by playing songs like ..."

Watch as Labor gets more scrutiny over $8.5b for health than Dutton gets over his $600b nuclear fiasco. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

When Labor was elected, the LNP had gotten Aus into an absolute shit-show. Inflation was sky high, the RBA raised rates because of LNP incompetence managing the economy, wages were suppressed for 9 years & nothing was done about the housing crisis under the LNP. Yep. We are better off under Labor.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here." Pavlovich

Thank you to the Member for Calwell Maria Vamvakinou MP, a former schoolteacher and community activist, who has brought a strong interest in education policies and tireless advocacy of multiculturalism to her 23 years in Parliament.

Cleaner, cheaper energy now. Not more expensive energy decades away.

Happy Friday! Just in case you needed the reminder this weekend - if you’re not being paid 24 hours a day, you shouldn’t be on call 24 hours a day.

Happy Captain Cook Death Day! Big love and respect to the people of Hawaii.

Roses are red Some tulips are green What will dutton cut For his risky nuclear scheme

Meet Carol Berry - Labor's Candidate for Whitlam! Carol Berry has built her career around helping others. After more than 25 years living in the Illawarra, she wants to give back to the community she loves in Parliament.

Peter Dutton’s taking lessons from Tony Abbott Which means you’ll be worse off under him.

Soup for My Soul…

Australia has a Blak history.

Apart from fabricating lies about Dreyfus that are left unchecked & unchallenged by MSM.. Dutton appears to hve an epic absence of empathy & humanity. He’s using Dreyfus’ absence from the House when Dreyfus’ wife passed away from cancer as a weapon. How fkn low can Dutton go to obtain power?

A quick thanks to the ABC for just cutting over to an interview with Peter Dutton, away from the Prime Minister who had barely answered one question in his own interview. #auspol

Jim Chalmers explains how Australians would be “thousands of dollars worse off” if Dutton “had his way” Stefanovic “That’s speculation” Chalmers “He didn’t want the tax cuts, didn’t want energy bill relief or the other cost of living help. That’s not speculation it’s a fact” youtu.be/JKSM2gW0NPA?...

Dutton using migrants again as a scapegoat & claiming that Labor has created a housing crisis since it “opened the migration floodgates” It was Dutton while Immigration Minister who created everything that is wrong with immigration & has nothing to do with housing www.crikey.com.au/2023/10/05/p...

Jim Chalmers tears into Peter Dutton for hiding the cost of his taxpayer funded “long lunches for bosses” & that “the bill will run into Billions of dollars” “Either he didn’t know what the policy costs when he announced it, or more likely he didn’t want Australians to know” youtu.be/Q8lHh9YISVQ?...

Credit to Anthony Albanese who despite having media against him still continues to front up & take questions at the National Press Club. I’ve lost count how many times Albo has appeared at the #NPC this term but I know O/L Peter Dutton has been too weak to even do it once.🙄#NPC
