I think she may have done us an unintended service by exposing what many Australians had forgotten, or not realised, prior to the Voice referendum, was already there. For example: some ethnic/religious groups actively promote division. Which groups in Australia promote racism & Islamophobia? #Auspol

They haven’t actually banned those charges they’ve just banned businesses fm recouping it by adding on an extra fee after they’ve advertised the price for the item. We have laws that a business must only charge the advertised price in total so customers don’t get a surprise at the till. #auspol 1/…
