In some ways Labor are worse than the Coalition on climate change. They aren’t ignorant buffoons like their opponents: they know the damage they’re doing, and they do it anyway. And then they lie shamelessly about how they are addressing climate change, and ppl lap it up. The hypocrisy is sickening.

it is truly shocking that the minister for western Sydney is busy advocating to silence criticism of Israel. Her job covers the largest Arab and Muslim as well as the largest Aboriginal communities in the country, over-policed communities of genocide survivors and descendants.

There's polling today that suggests on current numbers One Nation could win 30+ seats. Here's a quick thread of why I think this is *very* unlikely to actually pan out
Now, a federal election probably won't be until early 2028, and a lot could change, but here's why I'm not too worried now
