With Spirit I and Spirit II being replaced by Spirit IV and Spirit V, what happened to Spirit III?

When ALP gives in, they always give in to the Right. Shouldn't we expect a "labor" party to give in to the left? At least occasionally.

#auspol Why are governments such a pushover to accept contractors' upping their contract price by millions? Would I let my electrician double his quoted price for installing my new water tank, halfway through the job?

So, the PM now has the choice: -Protect vulnerable kids and teachers, as he promised to do in 2022, with or without the Opposition OR -Continue to provide the Opposition with an effective veto, with the consequence that LGBTQ+ students and teachers will *never* be protected. #auslaw #auspol 2/2

"Day in, day out, we sat there as commissioners and listened to these awful, awful stories that happened to these adults, who as children, were totally traumatised by what the government did to them." And today, governments like Qld and NT are making things worse. #FirstNations #racism #auspol

inquiry into Bondi is hearing testimony of Jewish people being verbally abused and called terrorists for wearing the star. This too is a common occurrence for hijab wearing Muslims. First Nations people get verbally abused for their skin colour. It’s disingenuous to not look at all racism #auspol

I wish you were as passionate about anti racism as you are about anti semitism. I'd welcome similar passion and action about our indigenous population who are dying in custody and living in poverty and ill health.

"Clearly linked to events in the Middle East." Commissioner Virginia Bell has just told the Commission that the “sharp spike in antisemitism" is "clearly linked" to Israel’s wars in the Middle East. “It’s important that people understand." Do politicians understand?💥 #auspol

At last! The faint stirring of caucus concern at the lack of Labor values. Failing to tax super profits, the militarisation of our economy, neo liberal housing policies, sacrificing sovereignty to the US and failing to call out Israeli genocide was destined to stir discontent.

Trump just jacked up tariffs against Australia by 50% (from 10 to 15%) as a late night reflex action to the Supreme Court decision. We matter so little in his world view. Can we stop pretending now, not a friend, not an ally.

Political leaders must stop bending the knee to Trump, a delusional, dangerous autocrat. Have we lost self respect, and our capacity to act in the national interest? Capitulating to a bully, a felon, a misogynistic megalomaniac is not “ pragmatic patriotism”. It’s cowardice.

Australians know One Nation's racist ideology. So if their vote continues to climb, it's because Australians are increasingly becoming more racist.

This is about all protest and all free expression, from here on out. Our establishment knows social discontent will only grow as the climate worsens, the slaughters continue, and the rich extract harder. They're not fixing anything, and they don't want you to be able to resist.

I believe there is no such thing as "Australian values". There are some Australians whose values I share, but some I do not. I do believe it's more important to look at government's values, and this is easy enough to do by looking at what they say, what they enact.

Rabbi Eli Schlanger. Every news site reports praise of him as one who brought "light, joy and love". None mentions his support for Israel's #GazaGenocide (incl. signing a missile!) or him advocating ethnic cleansing of "Arabs" from "Israel's front porch" (the West Bank)! 😲 #BondiBeach #FreePalestine

Business class flights for short domestic travel can never be "value for money." It will always be seen as privilege pure and simple, while cutting our essential services for budget savings.

No essential services should be private “What should be on the agenda is nationalising essential services — bringing them back under public control & out of the hands of profit-hungry corporations.” But that would mean the selfish duopoly no longer having a steady stream of cushy jobs. #Auspol
