I'm not sure Labor has any incentive to reform the toothless anti corruption body it designed to be toothless

Possum @pollytics.bsky.social · 1d

Reforming the NACC is some low hanging fruit shit. The simple political lines that "We created the first national corruption commission, it's done a god job, but we've seen where the rubber meets the road that it needs to be more robust. <insert actual reform>" Vote winner with easy Senate passage.

A young person died just days after the LNP make pill testing illegal.

There’s a good chance that if they could have had these pills tested, they’d be with us all today.

DEWR sought an assurance report on the Targeted Compliance Framework. They got it. It told them clearly that the TCF could NOT be assured. And yet the government continues to administer this unlawful system so it can suspend income support payments for bullshit reasons.

If you think people persuaded by racist nativism will have their minds changed by demonstrating that immigrants are net economic contributors then you have literally never spoken to anyone outside Fitzroy

Migrants to Australia pay more in taxes than they claim in welfare, and their consumption and spending supports the country’s growth, writes Emily Barrett. The challenge for our leaders is to tell that story clearly. satpa.pe/862vMon

Everything that’s wrong with this immigration debate

As anti-immigration sentiment is politicised around the world, new arrivals to Australia are being portrayed as detrimental to the economy – when in fact the opposite is true.

Israel is an antisemitic state

James O’Brien @mrjamesob.bsky.social · 7d

A hideous, and for traumatised British Jews profoundly unhelpful, expression of allyship & agreement with a violent, racist, serial criminal & former member of an avowedly anti-Semitic organisation from the *Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs* and so, as Sunder says, the Israeli government. 1/3

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 7d

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

BREAKING: New analysis shows that Labor’s deal with the states will lock in permanent underfunding of public schools.

What does it say about Labor that they simply refuse to provide public schools with the bare minimum while they pour $55 million a day into private schools?

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla.

We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices.

This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.
