Well, I haven't been a fan of how the Greens have been going under her leadership, but very sorry to hear of Larissa Waters' health and hope she recovers soon. And I hope whoever leads the Greens next really picks up the fight. It could hardly be more urgent.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

"For 30 years Australia stopped building homes the way it builds hospitals and roads, and left shelter to a market that now prices a median home at 8.4 times a median income." Labor & LNP worry about grievance-fueled One Nation. Too much to expect they fess up and blame their own neoliberal policy?

we could have a royal commission and centre policing or we could just ban alcohol ads, ban gambling ads, jam all online promotion and delivery of gambling and alcohol products, and redirect the tax revenue to victim services. And see if that helps.

Labor backbenchers have been out in force the past few days spruiking "increases" in Centrelink payments. To be very, very clear: this is absolute bullshit. This is an automatic CPI adjustment, not an increase. Labor is still keeping people on income support in poverty.

AI data centres are projected to use 13 per cent of Australia’s electricity and 20 per cent of Sydney’s water within a decade. These things are mushrooming across the country and Labor has issued a “consultation paper”. Like New York, we need a moratorium not a survey.

The US situation is what will happen here if One Nation & a lot of Lib/National Party politicians get their way. Pregnancy is the biggest statistical risk to women's health - after ex- and partner violence. The next politician to say a version of 'feminism has gorn too far' should be abyss-hurled.
