@johnsy123aus One of the potentially hardest things for Labor (if they win) will be satisfying everyone, there is so much pent up need and hope after 9 years of LNP. Many will lose faith because they can’t do everything and many will say they’re as bad as each other. But they will be trying.

Assume Sussan’s war on dependency will extend to the $14.9 billion of annual subsidies to major producers & users of fossil fuels? And end the dependency of wealthy property investors on annual tax breaks of $12bn? Or is she just talking people with disabilities?

Sorry. This is divisive BULLSHIT. "BOOMERS" do not object to increased tax on Super over $3 million nor negative gearing changes. Most have NEITHER. Only the RICH of ANY age do that. In fact boomers started Super LATE. https://t.co/PvSdnnzYvD

Huge American-style utes are damaging our roads, reducing safety, and increasing emissions. “In Europe they’re introducing measures to discourage people from driving these big utes... "In Australia we’ve got subsidies for them.” - Richard Denniss, Executive Director #auspol

Sensible limits on generous tax concessions for property investors would help first home buyers & the $$ could help fund more desperately needed social and affordable housing. This has to be part of the conversation. https://t.co/ZMLZfrXMGl

Race Disc Commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman says he found it distressing the day Neo Nazis crashed the Anzac ceremony attacking Welcome To Country “And all the debate after that became about Welcome To Country, rather than about ‘Why are Neo Nazis at the Anzac Day Rally?’”💯#NPC

Hands off our health system. Australians see medicine as a right, and health as a collective benefit, not least because there is an intergenerational public cost of poor health and sickness. Made worse if Aussies cannot access preventative medicines or have to go into debt to

A billionaire spends 50m on a wedding and we get endless reports about the guest list and what Ivanka wore. I don’t give a fuck about any of it. If he can spend 50m on a wedding he can pay more in taxes and help the homeless and the poor. I’m so sick of these people.

Great to chat with @abcnews. Global warming is on track for temperatures to climb 2.8C above pre-industrial times but we know the Great Barrier Reef will be all but gone at 2C warming. We don’t have time to waste - emissions must be slashed here and everywhere, and fast.

The Greenland ice cap is losing around 30 MILLION tonnes of ice an hour due to the climate crisis - 20% MORE than what scientists originally thought. No time to waste. Stopfossifuels. #ActOnClimate

Instead of investing in defence capabilities and equipment that could be used to defend Australia, the Defence budget is being spent on nuclear subs we don’t need and will never arrive anyway. Meanwhile our leaders are happy, drunk on the rhetoric. #auspol

Keir Starmer’s government, like those before it, is firmly behind the AUKUS pact. But there are some doubts the UK can provide the required submarines on time.

Iran has been strangled by trade sanctions for decades. Those sanctions were designed to impoverish Iran in the expectation the people would rise up and overthrow the mullahs. Didn’t work. Suspect we’d all be better off (especially Iranians and Israelis) if there were no

Editorial: While Linda Reynolds pursues claims, Higgins is campaigning for affirmative consent laws, for better police training and judicial practice. She is focused on a world larger than herself. It is hard not to note the difference.

Linda Reynolds is as bitter as an unripe quince. She is forever disappointed. She says “I am bitterly disappointed…” She says her “primary concern has always been how the Commonwealth could possibly

Dear AUS PM @AlboMP, I want my Australian Labor Govt to be: • More Keating, less Marles. • More Ed Husic, less Marles. • Less Marles. Always less Marles. • Less sycophantic to the war-mongering US Empire. #auspol #diplomacy #USA #China
