The average #rental price is $650/week in Australia. This is more than the total per week a JobSeeker gets, of $849.90 (maximum payment possible per fortnight). The maximum amount of rent assistance that person can get is if sharing $143.60 or if living alone $215.40. =#homeless!

“Labor still has a chance to shape the future, and history won’t look back to discuss whether or not modern Labor was 'moderate' or 'centrist' enough. It will judge it on whether it met the moment and the times,” writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Maybe Penny Wong could ponder whether someone associated with a genocidal regime is the appropriate person to come along to mourn a mass murder.

The reason for a person coming do not erase who that person is

Pauline Hanson’s first act in Parliament after returning following suspension for appalling divisive behaviour is with One Nation to turn their backs on the Acknowledgement of Country. What a disgrace.

They should not have invited Herzog to Australia. Now the police are saying they have concerns about how his visit will cause “significant animosity”.

The Albanese Government needs to withdraw this invitation now!

ABC Sydney Afternoons radio host James Valentine has retired from the ABC after nearly 40yrs due to his ongoing battle with oesophageal cancer (first revealed to listeners in 2024). On Friday, there will be a 2hr retrospective. I hope he is surrounded by bucketloads of love and support. 😢 📻 #radio

Can someone please ask this dog-whistling migrant Bianca Colecchia, who has a heavy accent & now works for One Nation, why she moved to Australia 10 years ago, one of the most multicultural nations in the world, if she’s so unhappy about different cultures? 🙄 #auspol

It already seems like there is no chance of fair midterms. What are Americans going to do between now and November? What are world leaders going to do? Do we all just accept the US as "leaders of the free world" even when it is obvious it isn't even a free country itself?
