Democracy campaigner. Not a member of any politician party. The #1 issue for any politician to attend to is to uphold and protect our democracy. Because democracy is the heart of a government that functions for the people. Other issues come after that.

I could add some more items to the list of things Labor should do:

• Stop kowtowing to the Israel lobby
• Stop sending refugees to offshore gulags
• Release the whistleblowers from jail
• Put the teeth back in the NACC
• Stop approving more fossil fuel projects
• Extract royalties from gas exports

The previous PM who cut back on the CSIRO and scientific research was Tony Abbott.

So Albanese is in sordid company.

I guess Albo is cutting things back to make regular AUKUS payments, which he places at the feet of the 🟠 Orange felon.

The Liberal Party thinks that punching down on Aboriginal people is their #1 priority in this world

They are sick. Depraved. Vile individuals

The Liberal Party is no different to the neo-Nazis that rampaged through the streets of Melbourne, also attacking Aboriginal people

Horrible nasty scumbags

The Liberal Party is the White Supremacist's Party.

Look at their actions ⬆️

If you know anyone who supports this party, maybe rethink if you really want to know them.

Unnecessary.

Having local politicians representing an area of ground is obsolete.

It was set up to overcome the tyranny of distance. No longer needed. So we don't need more

We need a new system where the members represent groups of people with an idea or philosophy. And we need to vote nationally

It must be strange to be a member of the Labor Party.

Imagine being a member of an organisation that believes in nothing, and stands for nothing.

No virtues. No morals.

The only thing they want to do is stay in power and keep the money flowing into their organisation.

Very strange.

Every day I wake up and read the news.

Every day I'm presented with horrors by Trump, and by our own Labor Party, which moves further and further to the right.

However vile Linda Reynolds is,

our focus needs to be on the defamation laws that allowed her to do this.

Politicians are the biggest users of defamation lawsuits. That's a threat to democracy.

Yet politicians can hide behind parliamentary privilege. Say what they want and not get sued.

Australia should be ending all military cooperation with the United States.

We shouldn't be signing new deals for more US weapons.

There's an 🟠Orange Felon, who wants to end the Geneva Conventions and commit war crimes

He could cut us off in an instant if he doesn't like what we do or say

This is about a survivor of rape then being persecuted.

But it's also about a politician destroying a citizen who criticised the politician.

We need to demand that defamation laws be weakened, as they only serve to shield the powerful.

Defamation laws hurt citizens & wreck our democracy

All political parties become self-serving and corrupt after they've been in power for a long time.

Hey Labor voters.

Are you proud to have enabled Albanese to cut in-home services to the frail & elderly?

Is that what you stand for?

Enjoy your AUKUS submarines, if you ever get them.

Cracking down on Freedom of Information was Albanese's grab for authoritarianism.

There's nothing good about Albo. There's nothing leftist about Albo.

He wants to grab all power for himself.

Farage must be accepting money from Christian Nationalist groups.

The Albanese Labor government is making a more secure retirement for millionaires only.

Labor is a right-wing political party. Judge it by its actions.

You're being kind to our politicians to call it a blunder.

They didn't shore up the gas supply

But they also didn't shore up the tax. And let the fossil fuel companies pay next to no royalties for extracting it.

But the gas companies paid political donations to the duopoly.

I call it corruption.

Elon Musk is a long time white supremacist.

He should be denied entry for that alone.

In addition, he should be investigated by ASIO for supporting the neo-Nazi rallies in Melbourne, which resulted in Aboriginal people getting terrorised and injured.

Oh, and don't buy a Tesla.

Thanks, Cathy.
Your illustration sums it all up.

The politicians of today are morally corrupt. It really is time to vote for someone else.

The media needs to call the Liberal Party for what it is

It's not centre-right. It's a far-right anti-immigration party.

Media quoted Hastie saying migrants make him feel like a stranger in his own home. No one mentioned this was channelling British white supremacist Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood

The Liberal Party is a far-right anti-immigration party.

Everyone knows that. They can't hide it.

It's very popular with climate change deniers, misogynists and incels.

Even when Abbott got the role of Indigenous Affairs Minister he insulted all Aboriginal people by saying it is a lifestyle choice.

StarLink is a national security risk.

Just like how Elon Musk switched off StarLink to Ukraine for a while, later switching it back on.

StarLink could switch off Australia's telephony and internet data if we displeased the 🟠Orange Felon.

The expression 'Burning Down The House' was popularised by a Talking Heads song.

Next, the AFP will investigate the Talking Heads.
