One in six Australian children live in poverty. Major parties who do nothing about this - except make it worse - can not pretend to support 'social cohesion'. #AntiPovertyWeek #EndChildPoverty #RaiseTheRate #inequality #auspol

Labor. I have the solution. Instead of worrying about the money lost from the defeat of the pension private health rebate bill - why not tax the rich and gas exports? #Auspol

If you're head of the business lobby and you want the Labor Party to do something for you, simply text Anthony Albanese personally and he'll get onto it right away! 🫡

@albomp.bsky.social’s Govt has started appealing citizens’ #FOI wins to the Federal Court, a course of action that could cost FOI applicants up to $300,000. Well done to Senator Lambie 💪 for introducing a Bill into the Senate that will neutralise this transparency-chilling tactic. #auspol

• were they not an existenial threat when they appeared in Qld decades ago? • the SYD ants aren't 'related' to the Qld ones... ah, *special* SYD ants! • so, it's only an 'item of concern' now because someone or something is p!ssing on SYD's shoes? Better contextual reporting, please.

Extraordinary attack from ABC management against the most senior elected union representative at the ABC - Labor should be speaking out against threats by ABC management against Michael Slezak and the MEAA. Critical thinking, critical writing, should never be weaponised against staff at the ABC.
Fight erupts between union and ABC’s head of news

The ABC’s new head of news Simon Robinson is staring down the barrel of a staff revolt just four weeks after joining the public broadcaster, with its union committee labelling a threat of disciplinary action against a senior journalist an attack on press freedom.

The ABC’s Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance house committee called an urgent meeting for its members on Monday after Michael Slezak, who is also the federal president of media at the union, was threatened with disciplinary action over a piece he wrote in The Australian Financial Review.

There are more of us than you think. The real freeloaders aren’t migrants or people on welfare. They’re gas exporters paying less tax than beer drinkers, and 200 people holding $707 billion. They have the money. We have the numbers. We are the change. suebarrett.substack.com/p/there-are-...

There Are More of Us Than the Freeloaders Need You to Believe. We Are The Change.
Most Australians want the same things: A home. A fair share. A liveable future. A small few are taking far more than their share and they’re counting on you never finding out how many of us there are.

Allowing Open AI to call these “rogue agents” lets them dodge responsibility - they made them, directed them and set them free without caring about the consequences. Our laws need to catch up to hold them accountable before worse happens.

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."
