Labor teamed up with the Coalition to block Lidia Thorpe’s bill banning shackling during childbirth. What the fuck is wrong with you if you can’t support even that? Prison does not strip women of their humanity. No woman should give birth in chains. No exceptions.

The Albanese Government is the most secretive federal government we've had in decades. It protects lobbyists, keeps ministerial diaries closed, and has repeatedly made FoI requests more challenging and more expensive.

‘Bully boy’ accusations fly over nuclear waste secrecy
The Albanese government is fighting to keep these FOI documents hidden. Jacqui Lambie and others on the crossbench aren’t happy.

I wonder if the Albanese Labor Govt realises that angrily sledging newly-elected @greens.org.au Leader @davidshoebridge.bsky.social simply reveals Labor no longer stands for progressive policies. btw I don't hear Labor attacking One Nation with this same level of venom. #auspol

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

Dear @tonyburkemp.bsky.social Long-time Labor supporter. No more. The Albo Govt's complicity in Israel's ongoing atrocities and its support for Zionism is horrifying. Appalled that you've allowed current & fmr IDF soldiers into the country. 😔 #auspol #nswpol #SydneyMarathon #FreePalestine

So far this year, 34 women have been killed by their domestic partners as Government carefully selects what atrocities to focus on.

Hey @markbutlermp.bsky.social - I am giving you an open invitation to come see my daughter with Down Syndrome and then you can tell me to my face that it will be good to cut her social, economic and community participation funding by 25% (heck the explanatory memorandum gives an eg of 50%).

Nothing says ‘there for Aussie battlers’ like accepting a $1m jet from Gina Rinehart because you don't want to have to talk to normal people on normal planes.

A question for fearless journos out there to put to Australia's political leaders. Why do we have > $300 billion to attempt to buy submarines but not enough $ to pay more fire fighters & support staff & to buy more urgently needed firefighting equipment, so we have sufficient resources when needed?!
