“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” Hanna Arendt www.goodreads.com/book/show/39...

BREAKING: Local sports clubs fairly sure they can teeter on the brink of collapse for another 20-30 years while an ‘essential for survival’ nuclear reactor is built. What an embarrassing load of shite - even for the Advertiser. #murdochGutterMedia #dontRiskDutton #auspol

The major parties don't have the moral courage to protect the people and places we love. This election is an opportunity to vote for a candidate who will. Minority govt may be the only thing that forces the Govt to put 🇦🇺ns ahead of vested interests. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The ALP & LNP think they’ve stitched-up our democracy to keep their snouts in the trough. But it doesn’t have to be so if you use your power to vote for independents. You can vote for better politics or you can have more of the same. It’s up to you. #auspol

Anthony Whealy KC: Backroom deal btw Labor-Coalition a deliberate and contrived assault on the integrity of our democratic system. May be unconstitutional. Passing this bill without adequate debate, parliamentary or committee scrutiny “an affront to our proper democratic process.” #auspol

How appalling that the Australian Government has not shown support for the International Criminal Court after the US Government’s sanctions against it. This is a matter of principle. The ICC deals with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

How about that NACC? Are we going to get to the election without them delivering a single successful corruption investigation?

688 days since NSW Labor committed to delivering a Great Koala National Park, and still nothing. Meanwhile we taxpayers continue to subsidise the Forestry Corporation to go into these areas to log. Stop voting for the duopoly. They give zero fcks about you or the environment. 🤬🤬🤬

The ‘ambassador’ posting to the Vatican has always been a lurk, a disgusting waste of our money & a betrayal of hundreds of Australian children attacked by priests. The Catholic Church is an obscenely wealthy organisation perpetrating the worst of crimes & cover-ups, not a country. What a farce.

It's easy to forget just how awful the coalition is when given power. Albo might be not be everyones cup if tea. No Whitlam, Hawke, or Keating. He might not have championed your most desired policy in this term, but he does head a competent adult government.

If Peter Dutton genuinely believes Allegra Spender is a communist, he is an idiot. If he doesn’t, he’s saying it because he thinks that you are. #auspol
