Will the Australian news media now report the abuse being experienced by Muslim Australians after the media's fear-mongering rhetoric? Or the abuse experienced by Palestinian Australians simply for wearing a keffiyeh? Or Lebanese Australians? Will the PM speak out against THIS #racism? #auspol

It’s never industry’s fault that productivity is low. It’s always that of the worker. The ones with the money and power to be able to affect change never assume responsibility for anything other than the reaping of profits.

New Australia Institute research shows there’s little evidence of a productivity crisis.
“Australia’s so-called ‘productivity crisis’ is massively exaggerated. Low productivity is not to blame for the problems facing households today, like low wage growth.”

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

I walked past Bill Bailey talking to someone in Dublin and said "my god, Bill Bailey!" about 2m from him. I felt like such a tit 😂😂😂

I saw a girl the same age as my daughter realise her legs were gone because Israel blew them off. Don't try and tell me she is somehow responsible. Israel is committing genocide
I find myself completely unable to function today. I’ve seen a child surrounded by the flames of what was her family home. Starving babies. Defeated, broken men. Women cradling their shrouded children. It’s too much. And yet I still have to hear ‘but Hamas..’ FUCK OFF. Israel is committing genocide

Come on ALP, get on with it! Show people what the point of voting for Labor is.
Seriously - this is the most amazing time to be a progressive. There are no excuses anymore. Nothing really to fear. Do policies you think make the country better.
Dental in Medicare! Done. Who says no?
Tax gas companies. Done. Who are you worried about? The media? Kate Chaney picked UP votes!!

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

Jesus, why is so called anti semitism worse than islamaphobia and destruction of islamic buildings and businesses? Why is anti-Israel equated with anti semitism? If Israel stopped killing and starving tens of thousands of Palestinians, there would not be an issue. Graffiti on a fence is not terror.
