A growing wall of renters, locked out - while the major parties protect the owners who benefit from high prices. That's why prices never fall. A home should be shelter, not a wealth machine. Thoughts? 🤔 👇 #auspol #nswpol #housingcrisis #rentalcrisis

"Did you see Four Corners last night? The program laid bare exactly what we've been warning about - dodgy bosses using labour hire to exploit workers, underpay wages and get away with it in NSW." It's amazing. Labour hire companies exploit both employers and workers. Read 👇👇! 🌏🦘🤠 #auspol #NSWpol

This is not about the businesses who are trying to do the right thing. It’s about making the playing field level so that good businesses aren’t being undercut by bad faith actors operating in these sp...

My belief is that the Catholics within Labor's right faction continue to wield disproportionate influence over the party's approach to these issues. It is unfortunate that Chris Minns emerged as leader rather than Jodi McKay, who I regard as being more receptive to engagement on LGBT issues. #NSW

It's difficult for words to convey just how disappointing this NSW Govt decision really is. Apparently, some kinds of hate deserve criminal punishment, while others don't. And the main difference seems to be whether faith groups are doing the hating. #nswpol #auslaw www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

NSW government rejects own inquiry’s hate speech findings after months of delay

The Minns government will ignore the key recommendation of its own inquiry into hate speech laws.

I'm surprised #NSW police are only now forced to turn on #BodyCameras .I had an incident at Central where a young cop swore at me and abused me , without body cam, cause he thought I was a #derro. Of course his inspector, when I complained, was upset I repeated the constables words aloud #nswpol

i've fired the marketing department over this ..... they should have gone "urban villages" then each One Nation candidate could doubled as it's idiot....

I live in an area that has everything I need within 15-20 minutes, including a lot of walking and cycling space. It's amazing

I see One Nation are opposed to the 15 Minute City. Makes sense, I prefer the old-fashioned 540 minute city you get on Punt Road

Whilst some of it is conspiracist thinking, in my experience a lot of it is libertarians who hate their tax dollars/rates going to some social good that they won’t directly benefit from (parks, playgrounds, libraries and so forth). Hanson got her start in local politics opposing a new library.

The 15 minute city conspiracy theory is very weird to me because it’s just a straight description of urban spaces that are good. Why would you be against proximity to services and infrastructure

In every @abcnews article I see on Gaza, all include something along the lines of "... triggered by Hamas's deadly attacks on Israel on Oct 7 ..." WHERE IS THE BIT POINTING OUT "... after suffering 75 years of massacres, apartheid, torture, oppression, kidnapping, illegal occupation ..."??!

We've reached the point where caring is radical. #auspol

I love Commissioner Bell..the woman with the magic mind.

Caught giving false evidence, David Ossip tries dodging questions as Commr Bell demands he answer on his claim the Oct9 Opera House protest was held “before” Israel's military response. Toomey SC reveals Gaza was being hit by IDF airstrikes on Oct7.🙄 Another exposed witness.💥

Clearly governments do not care about transitioning to renewables - Australia still subsidises fossil fuel corporations and is complicit in war in the Middle East We'll likely learn more about the consequences this summer as El Niño creates havoc this coming summer

they will rue the day they were so keen to be heard and seen for what they truly are aka give 'em enough rope

After failing to prove his claim that the Palestine Action Group was “celebrating” Oct 7, David Ossip is asked if he can admit his evidence is wrong here too. Cornered but too shameless to admit it, takes it on notice & says he ‘wasn’t expecting the question’ Sneaky liar. 🙄

What ceasefire? One million Gazans live in tents, more than 265 Palestinian children have been killed in the last nine months and humanitarian aid continues to be restricted. www.deepcutnews.com/p/five-point...

“Terrorism” is applied to enemies of the US and its allies, but rarely to western-aligned state violence. That selective language obscures power, corrupts public debate and normalises genocide, John Menadue writes. #auspol #Gaza #Terrorism

Her name is Rachel. She is still asleep but yesterday she achieved a miracle. She made sense of my Aged Care file and the My Gov msgs! 😂 We have laughed and shed tears over all your wonderful msgs - sharing my joy has given me so much pleasure, dear friends. I see you all. Thank you! ❤️

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

And exactly like the BBC, we should never forget how @abcnews @ABCaustralia has changed this country by doing exactly the same thing—endless airtime given to the rightwing and their propaganda without any pushback on lies/disinformation while shutting out progressive voices. #auspol

Royal Commission into Antisemitism a “$131 Million Whinge” Andrew Brown reports. Read it here: https://michaelwest.com.au/royal-commission-into-antisemitism-a-131-million-whinge/

This Commission will not defeat antisemitism. It will deliver the most expensive whinge in Australian history, commissioned by a government purchasing its own absolution with public money. #auspol

"Expect everything blamed but the war." And more specifically, everyone blamed except the Netanyahu regime and Israel's local lobby who deliberately align Judaism with genocidal Israel. And in so doing, greatly increase the risk of antisemitism and undermine 'social cohesion'. #auspol

They’re using AI to justify slashing and offshoring even more Australian jobs and the Government is standing by and watching it happen. Ask yourself who profits from this? We need a system that delivers for the 99% who need jobs not the 1% who live off profits.

omg what a trainwreck he stumbled over all the policy then nailed that zionist position - that Jewish Australians can be traumatised by Oct 7 but everyone else must be untraumatised and silent about the genocide - almost in a single breath.

Hey Josh Burns - no one “is blaming the Jewish community in Australia for what is happening in Gaza” we are protesting genocide and illegal occupation. The Royal commission is NOT doing a good job with its doctored terms of reference. #RNBreakfast @australianlabor.bsky.social

While I was getting blood taken, I saw that Sunrise are running a story about 10-year-olds breaking into a house in my suburb, with adults. I want to know why everyone sees children committing a crime, not adults abusing children.
