I cannot believe I can finally call my beautiful partner, my husband. We're MARRIED at last - after 23 years together. Such a beautiful, moving day. #MarriageEquality #LoveWins

So I was unaware of this until today. The husband of Jess Wilson the Liberal candidate for Kew has a history of homophobia. I feel strongly that Jess should publicly explain where the family stands on LGBT issues. They’re old comments so I’m sure they’ve changed. Right? #auspol
Apparently Jess Wilson thinks her IPA husband’s extreme views are “off-limits”… she has cracked the shits on local FB community groups in response to questions about whether she agrees with his positions.

‘Defence inspector inadvertently omitted 10 consultations held with NACC chief Paul Brereton’ Trust is inadvertently omitted. This is why Freedom of Information access is so critically important in a democracy. Without it, much inadvertence.

A previous disclosure that the head of the federal corruption watchdog had been consulted 11 times has been corrected to 21.

CSIRO to cut up to 350 research jobs in major overhaul - ABC News Bizarre. And unforgivable when the blatant waste of AUKUS continues. Who is Minister for Science? @JEChalmers for heaven’s sake, show spine with public funds.

After 440 positions were slashed last year, the CSIRO has announced more staff cuts across the country in a bid to remain financially viable.

Hundreds of jobs destroyed at the iconic CSIRO while we subsidise the US and UK military industrial establishments with no guarantee of ever receiving nuclear powered subs designed to attack China, our most important trading partner. Militarism gone mad! Well said Ed Husic 👏

Smart countries don’t cut funding to their world-leading science and technology research organisations. The Albanese government has to step up and provide adequate support for research and development in Australia - it has to invest in our future.

AGAIN we find out that Commissioner Major General Brereton had been involved in undisclosed conflicts of interest. What’s it going to take for the Albanese Government to finally realise his position is untenable??

Cracking piece on Albo/Murray Watt's terrible env law proposals. Richard Denniss in The Point today... https://t.co/ukJ2Tic5kv

That’s the kind of calculation a bureaucrat would literally have to make under Environment Minister Murray Watt’s new ‘environmental laws’.

Honestly, it would be absurd for Australia to host COP31. Australia has 3X per capita emissions of Turkey, is a massive fossil fuel exporter and just approved a 50-year extension of one of the worst fossil fuel exports projects in the world. https://t.co/TVIQAks9A3

It's sickening, but it's true. During the worst year for First Nations deaths in custody in the history of New South Wales, the NSW Labor Party are passing laws to increase the risk of First Nations deaths in custody.

Not surprised states and territories are angry. Govt can’t ask them to spend less on hospitals, when so many patients in the hospitals can’t be discharged because of federal programs like NDIS & aged care. https://t.co/uahinVuq88 ACT public health is currently less than 35%

Health ministers are furious with a letter from the prime minister demanding they rein in spending if they want a public hospital funding deal honoured.

We can give $386billion & counting to the US for phantom submarines but our public hospitals have to curtail spending on sick people? WTF is wrong with you @AlboMP ???

Australia should not be selling weapons, hosting weapons companies or providing any support to weapons companies or countries involved in mass human rights atrocities, genocide. A very basic part of our human rights and international law obligations.
