“A proposed Aboriginal truth & reconciliation park has reduced in size multiple times — most recently to accommodate for practice cricket nets — & will also act as an emergency assembly point. Ms Mason said it was a poor outcome. ‘Tokenistic is too light a word’.”

It's an absolute dud. "The stadium benefits a subsection of the community, but the whole community pays for it." Both Thomas and Harriss need to say no for it to fall through. I am not feeling confident. #politas
Economic case for Hobart stadium just doesn't add up, experts say
An expert planning panel has defended their scathing assessment of Hobart's proposed Macquarie Point stadium while speaking to the politicians who will ultimately decide the project's fate.

In two years, Israel has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Every day, settlers attack Palestinian villages. Netanyahu & his extremist allies have one goal: annexation by force. The U.S. has enabled them.

NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID FOR ISRAEL.

The biggest threat to our national security is Defence Minister Richard Marles. He’s happy to spend $368B on a highly risky all-eggs-in-one-basket #AUKUS submarine procurement while other programs for essential capabilities are cut, or never approved. #auspol

We heavily tax productive workers

We heavily subsidise idle landlords

The productive workers then hand over a huge amount of their after tax income to the idle landlords, who receive more subsidies as they snap up yet more existing property

Australia increasingly resembles a feudal society

Budgets are about priorities. The idea is to tax things you want less of & subsidise things you want more of

In Australia we spend $14 billion per year on fossil fuel subsidies & we are cutting science jobs at CSIRO…

As i said, budgets are about priorities #climate

If the Government's top priority is productivity, slashing the CSIRO budget does not make sense
Research and development is one of the major drivers of productivity and the CSIRO has a long track record of making productivity enhancing breakthroughs.

The Dismissal at 50: Albanese condemns the past but avoids real reform
Anthony Albanese condemned the 1975 Dismissal as a partisan ambush. Yet he refuses to pursue the constitutional reforms needed to prevent another vice-regal intervention. Australia remains exposed, and neither government nor public sentiment seems ready for the changes required.

How dare you preach to us about "protecting kids," @albomp.bsky.social.

You've spent the last 2 years enabling the slaughter of an estimated 380,000 Palestinian kids.

You've made a policy choice to keep 3 million households that include kids in poverty.

You are quite rightly despised. #auspol
Our ban on social media for under-16s is about protecting kids online and empowering parents.
