She also said the community don't want all those non-white faces at their Universities. My old uni has a very healthy business educating non-Australians. It's actually one of the things we do best. #auspol #npc

The getup stunt today was misguided. The press were obsequious in allowing Hanson to get away with her bullshit. Their questions were mostly "gotchas" instead of serious policy questions that would expose PHON's shallow, incomplete & lying approach. Need to take PHON seriously. #auspol

Night follows day. And so do complaints that paying those on th lowest salaries a bit more will send businesses broke. Except multiple studies show those same people spend more of what they earn (remember Covid when people struggling could afford new shoes for the kids thanks to payments) #auspol

Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC. Let me get this straight: Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds? Release the Epstein files.
