Policy of the Day: Truth in Political Advertising 9 out of 10 Australians (89%) support Truth in Political Advertising laws, according to our new research. South Australia and the ACT have had truth in political advertising laws for years. Now for Australia! #auspol

Calling bullshit. Victorians love their coffee. Victorians love to shop, and support local businesses. Peter Dutton is a liar. He is not welcome here.

“The rich are protected by the law but not bound by it. The poor are bound by the law but not protected by it.” My all time favourite @profgalloway.com quote. 🕊️💙🦋 #UniversalTruth #USpolitics #polsky #auspol

Dutton doesn’t want to answer questions about his WFH policy. Hume says it’s good policy, just the wrong time. Asked if voters should follow his Voice advice, “if you don’t know, vote no” he froze like a Zoom call on bad WiFi. If Dutton doesn’t know, we do: vote no to him. #auspol #DumpDutton

25th Amendment time?! 👇 Whatcha thinkin’?! 🤔

Interesting article

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Happy Easter to all that celebrate & to those that don’t, happy chocolate egg day 😊

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

‘Bordering on incredible’: Coalition under fire for planning to scrap Labor climate policies and offering none of its own

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control.

🤔 shame he can’t vote for another two years

Cannot believe I have to listen to this stuff on the news this morning.

“We are all afraid,” Murkowski said... “It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.” www.adn.com/politics/202...

www.huffpost.com/entry/kilmar... WHY ARE WE PAYING THEM $6MILLION IF WE ARE GOING TO BE DENIED ACCESS?!?!?

Disgusting Republican ghouls in Congress flying down to El Salvador for opportunistic photo ops: You are violating the Geneva Convention by using prisoners as props.

😳

The right-wing: “Kilmar’s wife once filed a restraining order, so it’s fine he was thrown into a foreign prison.” Cool story, fascists. You elected a convicted rapist. You made an accused rapist Secretary of Defense. You just let the Tate brothers back into the U.S. You don’t care about women.

Housing, health, the economy, education and the environment – our assessment on the key questions in the leaders’ debate

. Coalition axing Labor’s free Tafe for builders, nurses etc would mean fewer builders and higher house prices, experts warn The Coalition remains opposed to the scheme, claiming it is ‘badly designed and poorly targeted’ www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

The Russian air base in Indonesia story has all the hallmarks of a desperate Liberal Party security scare in the middle of a losing election campaign. Dutton has gone from stop the boats to stop the Russians. Indonesia has already ruled it out. #auspol thenightly.com.au/politics/wor...

Courage is contagious. #Harvard Have the day you deserve.

As Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton repeatedly argued in court against providing life-saving medical care to lawful refugees and asylum seekers in Australia's care. Here's a list of just some of the lives he tried to subject to negligent care in 2018 alone. A significant trigger warning here.
