"Australia’s media has made the shift that Labor is at one end of that discourse and One Nation is at the other – which makes anything in the middle, the acceptable centre." @amyremeikis.bsky.social The 'sensible centre' is increasingly toxic. #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Australia's 'sensible centre' is shifting radically to the right
Australia has a new political centre, but just because it falls in the middle of two policies, that doesn’t make it good policy.

“Targeting of protest by heavily armed police makes nobody safer.”
Media Release
Targeting of protest by heavily armed police makes nobody safer Labor Premier Chris Minns is today rolling out a police force unit heavily armed with military style rifles, which Commissioner Mal Lanyon says will "be a
deterrent for those who wish to commit harm, incite hatred or cause fear."
Greens MP and spokesperson for Justice Sue Higginson said:
"This is by definition an intimidation unit. It's an escalation in state violence. "After everything we know about the impossibility of defining and judging the inciting of hate and community division, I'm shocked that the Commissioner of
Police would blatantly state that this unit is about intimidation. "It's political failure of the Minns Labor Government that they will now wave weapons of death around our streets and put the fear of police violence into our communities. To believe you can intimidate your way to community cohesion is
authoritarian and draconian. *I'm alarmed by the commentary of Commissioner Mal Lanyon that the threat of being shot by police should act as a deterrent to 'harm' or 'hatred'. We know police intend to use these long arm rifles at peaceful protest and I am astounded
by the attitude of our most senior police officer, "The Supreme Court has been clear that deterring political speech which may be offensive or confronting is not a legitimate public policy purpose under our Constitution. If you can't deter it with anti protest laws, you most certainly should
not try and deter it with guns, "NSW Labor claim to care about reducing gun violence when they attack the Liberals, but here they are sending more long arm rifles into circulation in a move that proves the Minns Labor Government cares about political point scoring more
than community safety," Ms Higginson said.

@stephhodginsmay Signs are increasingly pointing towards an unprecedented level of ministerial and party discretion to allocate millions of dollars through a
closed-off and shady grants process. Frankly I expect anyone involved in this process, from identifying applicants through to actually handing out

The Federal Government's newly announced immigration enforcement package will directly undermine state-level health and safety protections for Asian migrant sex workers.Undermining
sex work decrim frameworks.
Sex work is decriminalised in NSW, NT, Victoria and Queensland. Sex workers have the same workplace rights as everyone else, but federall border enforcement creates fear that undermines those rights.High-pressure visa compliance checks prevent migrant workers from peer-support, or reporting wage theft to authorities. Immigration detention exposes women, including trans women, to isolation, harassment and inadequate medical care. “Home Affairs conducted
