I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Labor is failing to meet even Scott Morrison’s moral benchmark here. He brought Australian children home.

People say trans girls are just men in dresses. I’m a trans girl, for my whole life I’ve been a girl in men’s clothes.

Labor only managed 1 speaker on the Stadium order - a billion dollar vanity project that burdens future Tasmanians with enormous debt. Yet they’ve managed 6 spirited speakers to defend the cruel greyhound racing industry. Absolutely bizarre & totally out of touch with public views #politas
