- 'The Shovel' is Satire, but bitingly accurate - Our supposedly 'Labor / Left' Govt, over the decades has completely lost its way. So hypocritical, and not just on Climate ... #MajorPartyMadness #NonRepresentative #DemandBetter #VoteAccordingly #SustainableFuture #Climate #Justice

- I knew the waiting-list was impossibly long - but this update is horrendous. Whether you're older (& less able) yourself, or you have someone close who is - please contact Govt MPs to express disbelief #SocialResponsibility #VulnerablePeople #AgedCare #EssentialServices #GovtNeglect #Life&Death

- This is what led to much bigger protests this wk - I'm surprised it's not happening elsewhere in the western world. The Govt's role is to take care of its most vulnerable, not treat them as disposable ... #HousingCrisis #Affordability #RedirectGovtSpending #BasicRights #VoteAccordingly

- I'm a gay Ally, and came across this great quote about staying happy in the face of despair ... which really describes any Protest (related) culture - While we're all a bit battle weary (on a range of issues) - a reminder like this helps #Don'tGiveUp #StayHealthy #SeekTruth #Share #Organize

- Just one thing to add - It can't accurately be called a 'War' when force / invasion is so completely one-sided - Good to have some clear images, that can't lie about the US & --rael's plan to erase an entire population of people #WarIsWrong #WeaponsIndustry #LandGrab #Silencing #MediaDistortion

It's handy to know that if I ever commit a genocide, the police will arrest the people who protest against me while I make a speech at the UN saying how racist they all are

- We have some excellent Political Cartoonists here in Aust. Some have been a bit too honest & lost their jobs after conservatist lobbyists got their way ... A massive loss, as it's clearly their role to draw attention to absurdities #HumanRights #Society #Hypocrisy #Injustices #Media #Humour
