RFK Jr is neither qualified nor competent to lead America’s public health agencies. He is an unacceptable choice whose elevation to this Cabinet post will jeopardize public health. This nominee deserves broad opposition and I will vote against his confirmation on the floor.

Australian voters, Coles and Woolworths have joined forces with Kmart and Costco to publicly support the ARA's application to the Fair Work Commission to scrap overtime, evening and weekend penalty rates, and work breaks. If this goes through it will be used as a precedent everywhere. #AusVotes2025

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Back in June @kyleatink.bsky.social and I introduced a Bill that would make housing a human right. It had support from former Labor & Liberal politicians. Now the ACT Greens are getting on board. Ensuring everyone has access to a safe, affordable home should be above politics.

This is going to shock some people but I don’t put up with people being assholes no matter who you voted for. Way too many people are too comfortable being jerks to total strangers like I have an obligation to take your shit.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs. So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.” My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS. I’m seeing red. 😡

The Liberals have a policy to allow people to break into their for super for housing. They love this policy as it will massively drive up housing prices as it did in NZ & make those who already own (multiple) houses even wealthier. #auspol

The bigger question is - should we be publicly funding schools run by cults that make people feel they are caged?

Just so we’re clear - Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.
