From Niki Savva: “From now on and particularly in the budget on May 12, the Albanese government’s motto should be “use it or lose it”. There is no point having a whopping majority only to shrink from using the power it delivers.” 💯💪🏼 www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Farrer byelection: One Nation may well win Sussan Ley’s seat – that would be terrible for all of us

Political recidivism. Women and younger voters abandoned the party in droves at last year’s election. Tearing down their first female leader after less than a year, is their considered response? And for what detailed program? Vague boilerplate rhetoric? Fact is, the boys want their party back.

Yikes. This is a shameful reality. I know that Elmo's site is a sewer, but imagine just trying to so your job, and hearing this kind of abuse daily. Fahad and others in targeted minority groups are carrying burdens we cannot afford.
Solidarity with Louise Adler and Randa Abdel-Fattah. We stand against this retrograde decision and with the countless authors withdrawing in support of Randa and her work.
