Francesca Albanese tells the world there has not been a single day of ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza 🇵🇸:

‘There is no ceasefire for Palestinians 🇵🇸’
‘Ceasefire’ is a word for people to remain indifferent to the suffering’
‘We won’t let them remain in their comfort zone’

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

In a move that will send transphobes spinning Victoria has announced it is making it Free for Trans & gender diverse people to change their gender on a birth certificate.
Labor’s Natalie Hutchin says money should not be an obstacle to having documents reflect someone’s gender.✅

Even after a thorough, excoriating royal commission, #robodebt is a stark reminder of how privileged powerful people get off Scotty free.

The conflict-of-interest-riddled performance of the #NACC commissioner maintains the cosy status quo:
the appearance of oversight, but no-one held accountable.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

This is extraordinary. How can people be so blind to what is happening??
More guns than people…

Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

And still copying Trump. If there is no in-depth, honest reflection they have confirmed their status as dinosaurs.
As expected, LNP supporters are crying foul, calling it "rigged" and declaring they will "never vote again!", which is actually illegal in Australia.

It's like watching a toddler throw a tantrum over being denied a trip to Toys R Us, except I'd have more sympathy for the toddler. #auspol

#Auspol In my opinion, the Teal Independents who took Liberal blue ribbon seats at the last election are closer to old fashioned small L Liberals with a social conscience and believe in Climate change. They won and held the seats because most traditional Liberals are centre right not extreme

Agree. There is a long timeline of cause and effect here.
All generated by self interest and the preservation of privilege - plus an inability to focus on the best interests of a nation, our future on this planet and our people - wonderful, colourful, diverse.
Let’s not forget that Dutton rolled Turnbull who might have been an ok PM if allowed to lead in his own right, so landed us with Scotty From Marketing and so much corruption and cruelty. The air is fresher with Dutton far, far, away.

The Liberal Party failed because they rested on their elitist, privileged backgrounds and forgot that Australian voters wanted genuine, thoroughly researched policies. I’d like to be a fly on the wall when they have their “honest conversations “ about the campaign.

There are a lot of flabbergasted Greens supporters this morning.

This outcome was totally predictable as the Greens have moved from a grass roots environmental party (under Bob Brown) to an obstructionist party even on environmental issues.

In the end,
Everything comes down to
How you treat others.

Australia spoke decisively
to return the Labor Gov

A testament to the fact that Character matters.
