I wonder if the well funded zionist lobby's plan in Oz is to keep suing and harassing until they get a favourable legal decision and set a precedent? 🤔
There's also the added advantage of general intimidation and white anting while they're at it. #auspol

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.

Warnings about how to avoid a paper trail that might later be accessed by an FOI request are part of the induction kit for new political staffers. Even the acronym has its own crude nickname in the ministerial wing: “FOI. Fuck Off Idiot.” satpa.pe/zPB9QFA

Inside Albanese’s FOI reforms: ‘He hates transparency’

Labor’s reforms to freedom of information laws are opposed by every public submission made to the Senate, with the government’s record on secrecy worse than Scott Morrison’s.

Before it won the 2022 federal election, the Labor Party promised stronger action to curb climate change. Since then, it has approved coal and gas projects that will emit a cumulative 6.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. satpa.pe/Fix1oXv

Labor’s slate for fossil fuel approvals

The Albanese government has already approved 31 fossil fuel projects, and more than that are waiting, even as renewables overtake coal as the top source of electricity.

Watching the #Portland posts atm and reminds me of Murdoch vs Melbourne and Dan when living in Vic during lockdown. Remember Rachel Baxendale and Sophie Elsworth, and then the time Peta Cretin arrived to "fix it"?

I’m in a couple of sports-based social clubs. Nobody sponsors us - we pay our own way.

Are our pollies too miserly to do the same?

Yeah, I was thinking that - too stingy to pay an annual fee that's probably tax deductible, and run a Bunnings sausage sizzle or community minded fund raising event. #EatTheRich #auspol

Trying to keep the traditional, anachronistic 2 party system in tact by excluding any progressive input, for themselves and for their benefactors, IMHO. Selfish bastards.
