Australian here 👋 Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work. There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996. We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.

You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

Dutton will ALWAYS be the racist who walked out on the apology,the jerk who denied a toddler in detention critical medical care, the bigot who fabricates divisive fake Culture wars for cheap political points and the bastard who fuelled racism to sabotage an Indigenous Voice to Parliament #TemuTrump

Hey Dutton, we haven’t forgotten your attacks on Welcome to Country ceremonies. Don’t treat Australians like fools. You walked out on the apology, and destroyed a generation worth of reconciliation with your No campaign based on cruel lies. This is your legacy. You can’t undo it now.

There are multiple things Peter Dutton does not understand about people being able to work from home. He has obviously not had to get on packed public transport or roads at peak times when EVERYONE has to travel. Peak hour costs EVERYONE time, money & stress. #insiders

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

In his recent Quarterly Essay, George Megalogenis pointed to two factors that have insulated Australia from the Trumpian politics taking over the globe: 1. Significant multicultural communities, and; 2. The “teal” independent movement. Each provides a buffer that prevents far-right popularism.
