I repeatedly asked the Federal Government if the UN torture inspectors’ visit was on track and if the they would gain full access to all prisons and watch houses. They said yes when the truth was no. The Commonwealth funds 80% of all NT government, including its brutal jails. Open them.

Even more US military assets coming to Australia. More US bases. More US weapons. Celebrating a dominant foreign government sending its military into our harbours and cities and taking multiple footholds here … it’s cringeworthy, tragic and wrong.

In Australia there's a racehorse called Trumpty Dumpty.
In the USA there's another Trumpty Dumpty, ruling the world from atop a wall he's built, is building.
I don't know which one was named first.

Trump and his acolytes have made clear that “making America great again” means making it white. As they abet Israel’s genocide in Gaza, they pursue their own form of ethnic cleansing at home – what they call “reverse migration,” with, naturally, “no right of return.”

140,000 homes are currently being left vacant in Australia. 32,000 homes in Melbourne alone!
Air BnB has 160,000 homes on its books.
There are thousands of developers land banking properties in our cities.
We could legislate the end of a housing crisis very quickly.
