DOGE is an extreme example of what you get when you let consultants into areas of public service they don’t want to understand, but just have predetermined outcome The last we need is Dutton letting loose more consultants on our public service

Very key point made here. Any "shortage" is due solely to exports. We don't need more gas, we need to send less to Japan which has so much it exports our gas to other countries! (also worth charging the companies to mine our gas and also to tax them properly) www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

There is a disturbing difference in the level of media & political outrage over some antisemitic graffiti and the unprovoked bashing of two Islamic women, one pregnant, who both needed hospitalisation. #auspol

"The national anti-corruption watchdog has backflipped on its decision not to pursue investigation referrals from the #robodebt RC. ...six people will face probes over their involvement in the illegal welfare debt scheme." Good. But Brereton must resign. #NACC #auspol www.afr.com/politics/fed...

In a multicultural society, there is unequivocally no room for racism, especially in politics. If allegations against Peter Dutton hold true, he is unfit for leadership. Australia deserves a Prime Minister who embodies inclusivity and respect for all. NoRacism blakandblack.com/2025/02/17/a...

The fact that Dutton knows he can run an election campaign without announcing any policies shows how complicit the media is. It wasn’t that long ago that such an action would have been political suicide. But Dutton knows he will not be held to account. Challenge him. #auspol

Why is media accusing Labor of running a Mediscare campaign without first checking with Peter Dutton that he can promise not to make the huge cuts to Health that he made as Health minister & promise not to bring back his GP tax? Australians obviously should be scared.

Splitting up insurance companies is all well and good. But the overriding reason housing insurance premiums are going up is climate change.

Sam Kerr has been found not guilty. Yet the rancid pile on b4 & during the trial continues RW media have continued to stir the pot of outrage & angertainment against Kerr. Ask yourselves why these same commentators don’t do this to men - & in fact protect them? womensagenda.com.au/latest/eds-b...

The ABC’s financial expert Alan Kohler took a deep dive into the housing crisis and, in his opinion, former Prime Minister John Howard is the main culprit.

Dutton: If we allow the government to reduce crime in indigenous communities, we will not be able to point out that the government is not doing anything about crime in indigenous communities. #auspol

Millions of Australians are being forced deeper into poverty as the ultra-rich get much, much richer. They use the same roads & bridges that we do, yet they pay a lower tax rate than the middle class does. Demand the rich pay their fair share of taxes! #auspol #ClassWar #TaxTheRich #Election2025

I recollect regular reports of male athletes (mostly footballers) on drug/alcohol fueled nights out allegedly sexually abusing/raping women or committing other acts of #VAW (some found guilty) but it seems what Sam Kerr did is far worse/unforgivable. I mean—fuck off with your sanctimony, fellas.

AUS mainstream news media: If a lesbian couple feel unsafe bc of the actions of a male cabbie or a white policeman ignoring their complaint, the reporting will focus on criticising the words of the non-white member of the couple, rather than on the fact the women felt unsafe. #sexism #racism 😔

Is the news media going to address the facts that Sam Kerr & Kristie Mewis felt unsafe that night: first bc of the actions of the cab driver. Then bc a white policeman ignored the couple's complaint against the cab driver? Both #sexism & #racism here. Yet the whole focus is on Kerr's words. #justice

The right have always been the real pushers of cancel culture. And by centrist media capitulating to the right's redefining of things like 'woke' and playing along with right culture wars, now it's shocked to find out it's not protected?

Is housing for wealth creation or strong communities? If it’s the latter, we have to change our tax system. I’ve put sensible reforms forward including grandfathering existing arrangements + an immigration & population plan that takes into account housing. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

In 1999 came the final death knell of housing as a "right", when it became an investment asset after the Howard Govt halved capital gains tax. Housing became a product and an investment market, rather than the right. Until that changes .. 🤔 #auspol

Dutton's 'Long-Lunch' policy is dangerous and misguided. The cost to the budget is unknow and could be astronomical, the benefits are questionable and the propensity for misuse are real. We got rid of this shonky tax break decades ago. Why bring it back now?

The same media organisations who are willing to bend over backwards to normalise every illegal, fascist thing that Donald Trump does would have you believe that community independents are a threat to democracy.

Here I was worried where’s Niki. Clearly tucked away writing this blistering piece on Dutton & the line ‘little wonder Dutton has spurned Press Club. It tests mettle. There’s no substitute for substance & he has little of it. He gets nasty’ Ouch! What’s your favourite right hook in this? #auspol

Can’t help but notice a parallel between those who respond to domestic violence with accusations “why didn’t she leave?” and knee jerk reaction to Trump “why don’t Democrats stop him?” Absolutely Democrats should fight hard to oppose Trump. But let’s start the conversation with condemnation of HIM!
