If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

"The job of political leaders is to lead us, not walk behind us, to bring out the best in us, rather than pander to the worst in us." There are few in our current Parliament who could do this and the ones that could are, unsurprisingly, not found in the ranks of the ALP. #auspol

I went further on the global Islamophobia context in the revised version of the piece on Zionist activity by front groups in the recent Australian election. The network of networks is illustrative. It’s not just Atlas in any of this rw weirdness but a collation. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

Front Groups working with Zionist actors are promoting Islamophobia
Australian front groups have been working to promote the idea that the Greens make many cultural identities less safe. It's - loosely - part of a global Islamophobia industry.

In @thenewdaily.bsky.social today I argue that the things that Labor says stopped progressive reform in its last term are gone. No excuses. It’s time for a resurgent Albanese Government to do all the things it says it wants to do. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Second-term Albanese government can escape the Liberal veto
In Opposition, Anthony Albanese promised bravery, bold policy and optimism. Now with an increased majority he can act on those promises.

This is such a poor half-imitation at the misogyny speech. We need a ban on the word mirror. A lot of people found Max Chandler-Mather tactless, but it wasn't "offensive" of him to ask the PM questions in QUESTION TIME, and it's blatantly false to suggest he stood in front of signs like Abbott did.

Is it perverse of me to be very disappointed that Labor will be returned with a larger majority? I'm ecstatic that Dutton has lost his seat & the Libs have been beaten back, but why are we not more ambitious as a nation than barely mediocre & why are we locking ourselves into an inadequate duopoly?

I had not seen this. The use of the fundamentalist Christian sect as polling booth volunteers is reported by Nikki Sava to have come from Dutton's office. The Liberal party is tightly intertwined with regressive Christian ideology, another parallel with Trump #auspol #DontRiskDutton

The LNP supports indoctrination of its own choosing, championing doctrinal faith instruction in public schools, and spending millions on putting religious people in schools to do a role anyone can. The hypocrisy is immeasurable. #auspol bsky.app/profile/66ja...

This is a significant increase for an inherently discriminatory program, signaling again the Liberal's love of privileging religion, this time at the expense of student welfare; if you're not hiring on merit, you can't claim to prioritise student needs #auspol #ReligiousPrivilege #SecularGovernment

If you want #ReligiousFreedom for all - freedom *from* as well as of religion - don't bother with the duopoly who will always be beholden to the noisy minority of the faithful & ignore the growing non-religious cohort. Conservative Christian group Freedom 4 Faith says it's extracted this promise⬇️

Unsurprisingly, Liberals pledge to increase $ for school chaplains. They don't even use the current name of the program, so it's probably safe to assume they will remove the option to, heaven forbid, hire people on merit alone. #auspol www.liberal.org.au/policy/our-p...
