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.

Francesca Albanese slams the ‘ceasefire’:
‘Intended to achieve what the genocide could not’
‘The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza 🇵🇸’
‘The end of the Palestinians right to self determination’
‘To prevent this we must restore trust in the UN’

This is one of Albanese’s three great betrayals of the Australian people.
1. Woodside over the environment and indigenous heritage
2. US military complex over the entire budget and our sovereignty
3. Gambling industry over the most vulnerable.

“Australians lose close to $32 billion a year from gambling” but “Labor's leadership decided it was not worth acting on gambling advertising and upsetting the powerful lobby”.
Pure ALP.

Fear rules on gambling in Albanese government
Andrew Wilkie has asked the PM to allow a free vote on banning gambling advertising and it appears many Labor MPs would support it.

I stand with Francesca Albanese. No one should be punished for reporting the truth.
Silencing her doesn’t change the reality; it only exposes the pressure to hide it.

Shameful, cowardly and unlawful. This is utterly disgraceful. The US wants the camp closed, it’s the perfect opportunity to get the women and children out, yet the Albanese Government refuses to repatriate them. Morally bankrupt.
Labor is failing to meet even Scott Morrison’s moral benchmark here. He brought Australian children home.

In many ways Albanese is the apotheosis of this process. He clings to the mythology of the lad from social housing who grew up to be PM, while effectively dismantling the social scaffolding that enabled his climb.
