BREAKING: Labor and Liberal may not agree on much but when it comes to introducing a new law to stop Clive Palmer, but which actually stops newcomers from competing with them in our elections, you can be sure they'll pass it and lock in the two-party system by Xmas www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3WT...

God, the ABC News app is a mess, a dog’s breakfast. I don’t want live blogs and acres of analysis, and twee little introductions from the next hack on the shift. Just some straight news stories. Can’t be too hard, surely.

It'd be so easy for Australian politicians to pass motions condemning all forms of racism - but instead they're passing motions decrying one form race hate (anti-semitism) while tacitly supporting the colonial slaughter of Palestinians. It tells us so much about who we are.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Mundine loses Liberal preselection. His pitch? Bradfield not a “teal seat” with voters who could afford “luxury beliefs”. That’s this Warren Mundine (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/mundine-uran...

This is the shape of what is to come. #ClimateCrisis This is not the ‘new normal’. Things will get worse. #ClimateChange means more Black Summers & Black Winters #lafires. Stop subsidising & burning fossil fuels ASAP! You too, AUS. #auspol

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

ABC reports Dutton has said, if elected, he'll remove Indigenous flags bcuz they are "divisive" He has absolutely no concept that the role of a leader is to bring ppl together. Dutton makes deliberate choices to divide ppl, he's the common denominator, not the flags 🐝 #auspol

To be clear, current environmental laws give Tanya Plibersek the power to save the maugean skate, a dinosaur era fish AKA the ‘thylacine of the sea’ from the salmon industry. The government doesnt need new laws to save the skate, it needs new courage
