More and more Aussies are voting independent. The response from the major parties has NOT been to ‘be and do better’, rather to rig electoral laws to favour them. It’s undemocratic! @zoedaniel.bsky.social and I are asking the High Court to strike out those laws. #auspol

I understand why Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) exists. I was around when it first emerged.
I’ve never been a fan — and I know that’s controversial.
So let me explain how I see the relationship between SEWB and Indigenous mental health./2

Mr. Albanese is in a damn if he does, damn if he doesn't situation. Time to use his mandate & make some courageous calls, damn the naysayers and get on with bold and principled action on social housing, negative gearing, early learning/aged care, dental care. Just do it and be damned. #Labor #auspol

'Arabs (the primary ethnic group among Muslims) and Jews—are considered Semitic in a linguistic and cultural sense.' Got this on the net. It would seem that the term semite includes a diversity of people. This ought to be remembered when we educate people about the term anti semite. We live & learn!

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.

Australia is one of the few countries in the world where taxpayers subsidise non-government schools. As more students shift to the private system, the cost to taxpayers continues to escalate. satpa.pe/e77aLcA

ARNOTT's was, long ago, acquired by a wholly AmeriKan owned oligarchy, with borrowed capital!

They should sink or swim in the market on their own merits.
