Labor teamed up with the Coalition to block Lidia Thorpe’s bill banning shackling during childbirth. What the fuck is wrong with you if you can’t support even that? Prison does not strip women of their humanity. No woman should give birth in chains. No exceptions.

Scandalous that big oil companies are pocketing $700k a minute profit while some families are going without meals & pensioners are forced to choose between filling the car or a prescription. Australians aren’t fooled by the economic jargon trying to hide price gouging #auspol #politas

The government’s NDIS cuts aren’t aimed at rorting and waste. They’re aimed at vulnerable Australians. They will force disabled people out of their homes and limit their ability to engage with their communities www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Labor-led committee warns of human rights risks in NDIS reform
The Labor-led committee broke with government senators involved in a separate inquiry which steamrolled pleas of the disability community to recommend the NDIS reforms pass.

Where's the most dangerous place for Australian women & children? Most likely place they'll suffer violence or be murdered? Work, pub, walking alone at night? NO Their Fucking Homes. 39 murdered already this year, where's their Royal Commission? Sign now!✍️ www.change.org/p/royal-comm...

Hey David Speers if you’re going to start calling progressive green electoral candidates “climate 200 candidates “ then you’re obliged to call Nats and One Nation participants “IPA/Rinehart candidates. It’s only fair. #insiders

Australian right wing Media, should we go after 🔸Leader linked to genocide, war crimes & visiting Epstein island, or 🔹Woman, former Australian of the year, advocates against child abuse, speaking against genocide? Oh definitely the latter. Corrupt, disgusting fuckers! #Auspol

We'll say it again: "social cohesion", to those who chant it, means maintenance of the status quo which privileges them, and silencing of everyone else. In the mouth of a Labor MP, it is an expression of the deepest hypocrisy.

So the PM wants us to believe that "healing" and "social cohesion" after the Bondi massacre will be best achieved by the state visit of someone who is not only a genocide enthusiast, but is allegedly an associate of Epstein's. Poor judgment does not begin to describe Albanese's craven stupidity.

Hi Australia. Now we are having a national Day of Mourning today for the victims of the Bondi attack can we, the Aboriginal people, have our day of mourning on Jan 26 back please. We have mourned on Jan 26 since the first day of Mourning on Jan 26 1938 and we would like it back.

Still the ABC reports on celebrities wanting a Royal Commission into the Bondi Shooting while failing to acknowledge that while a criminal trial is being conducted the Commissions enquiries would be restricted to prevent prejudice. The trial could take years. #AusPol

Funny how nobody organised prominent business people and former sports people to sign a letter demanding a Royal Commission into Sports Gambling that instantly got massive coverage in the mainstream media isn’t it? Wonder why? 🤔

Hey @albomp.bsky.social , are we “all the way with DJT”? Because I think we Australians are going to need a little reassurance from you that this is NOT your idea of a safe alliance either, and that being blu-tacked to a lunatic will not end well for us. Thanks for your consideration.

Banning social media for under-16s is a blunt tool for a complex problem. We need smarter, evidence-based fixes. Here’s five reasons why Albo’s ban won’t work.👇🏽 #onlinesafety #auspol

I've worked it out! President Pumpkin Face is just a massive Halloween fan. Everything he has done since getting into power is just a lead up to scaring the life out of the world for #Halloween, and then on Saturday everything goes back to normal. 🎃

The point about the Advance donation issue is the hypocrisy. Jillian Segal wants to police everyone’s speech while defending her husband’s right to fund an organisation that propagates racism. Her position is untenable.

If only the domestic violence epidemic against Australian women involved graffiti on walls, and abandoned caravans. We might have cops and politicians bending over backwards to protect them 24/7. 😏

Just so we’re clear - Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.
