Watched Insiders. We need to move past "budget neutral" tax reform. Offsetting new gas taxes with corporate cuts will ignore our structural deficit. The real question should be What standard of living do we want & what tax/policy settings fund/enable it? Can't deny/avoid the structural deficit.

Our co-authored Australian Journal of Human Rights article on the value of a Human Rights Act to Western Australia was published. We highlight how a legislated and implemented HRA can achieve better outcomes for all. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It is unbelievable that corporate Democrats can say this. Carvilles strategy is to play dead for midterms that won't be free. Can you imagine how ridiculous people who said this of Hitler in 1933 as he corrupted the legal system, undertook political progress and dismantled democratic institutions?

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Leaving aside that its hard to believe her that "it was just about the jeans", her view that being silent was the justified result to "negative press" fails to grapple w the fact that she should have spoken up to clarify for the PoC communities impacted. www.theage.com.au/culture/cele...

So, while the police gets new powers to stop and frisk whoever they want (it’s gonna be brown men and all kinds of women they want to harass) Nazis get to march across the CBD. Cool beans, Victoria!

“The report also contains several case studies, including a 2022 incident where a man says he and a group of other “prominent professionals from African backgrounds” were chatting outside a restaurant when approached by police, who asked why they were loitering.” Have to avoid Melb CBD now, great!

Medicare Mentre Health Centres are part of the solution, but they can't be in place of peer-led options, and we need to ensure they are evaluated. My comments in the Brisbane Times. www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/que...

Over 40 Medicare Mental Health Centres have opened across Australia in the last year, including 12 in Queensland. We visited one on Brisbane’s north side to find out what they’re all about, and who th...
