I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The Prime Minister thinks HECS debts are a joke. Easy to say when you don't have one. He should give up the comedy and concentrate on making our HECS system more fair, starting with getting rid of the horribly flawed Job-ready Graduates scheme, which doubled the cost of arts and law degrees.

If China invaded Australia, Australia would defend itself. Our mainstream media would praise those fighting as patriots. Yet, Ukraine is criticised for defending itself against Russia. And Palestinians are described as terrorists. It's NOT complicated. World leaders and the media lie. #auspol

In the last 48 hours, Trump has invented an energy ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, pretended that much of this year’s energy price surge is not because of his reckless war on Iran and cut a side deal to funnel billions to Russia for sanctioned diesel. Not a friend. End AUKUS.

Whether it's conscious or not, here's more legacy media reporting that normalizes Pauline Hanson as just another political personality. But ignores just how racist, divisive and #FarRight she is. And how the Coalition is pushing in the same direction. As usual, it's the odds, not the stakes.

It so annoys me when journalists assume private schools in Australia offer a higher ‘quality’ of teaching. It’s utter rubbish. All of our teachers do the same (or very similar) teacher education courses and often the most skilled teachers are hired by the most needy schools.
