Australia rejected the right's agenda, we'll see if Labor do the same
We are about to find out whether the Labor government has the bravery to govern without the approval of right-wingers.

Time to be brave Labor-deal “issues of integrity, religious protections, climate, sanctioning Israel, tax reform, poverty, inequality and housing “. No excuses, this is Australia’s chance. #auspol #binnight

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the national day of mourning should be January 26th. That’s when the real terror started for our First Nations mob. The sooner we all come to terms with it the better. That’s how our nation will truly move forward.

Every time they upgrade the mobile network, coverage decreases. CDMA and the old analog networks worked brilliantly, 200km range. now we can be 10km from a tower, and get little to no service
We need reliable communications during climate emergencies like bushfires and floods. But changes have left regional communities exposed.

Proposed omnibus legislation which advocates gun ownership reform AND prescribes measures to address ‘hate crimes’ is just plain dumb.
Why not throw in a set of steak knives as well.
Or, more sensibly, and not in a rush, debate these separate issues in separate legislation.
