Electoral laws passed by the duopoly earlier this year create an uneven playing field at elections, in their favour. They undermine your voting choice and our democracy. @zoedaniel.bsky.social and I are challenging the laws in the High Court. #unconstitutional #auspol
High Court fight over laws said to entrench ‘cosy table for two’
Former independent MPs Zoe Daniel and Rex Patrick are spearheading a challenge to Albanese government donation reforms which they say entrench the dominance of major parties.

I have never, in hundreds & hundreds of sessions, met a trauma survivor who wanted to be "rescued."
I HAVE met hundreds of survivors who wanted to be seen & supported in rescuing themselves-- & caring for the past version of themselves who actually did need rescuing at one time.

You & I have always had what we needed to recover from CPTSD-- but we were convinced that we didn't. That we couldn't. That we were inherently too "stupid" or "lazy" or "bad" or whatever.

It is not you fault if connections you thought were safe, turned out to be unsafe. Predators are skilled at not only hiding red flags, but leveraging our past to make red flags appear green.
Do not shame yourself for buying into a facade that was masterfully constructed.

Different "parts" of us know, remember, can talk about, & can do things that other parts can't.
For my money, "parts work" isn't just a metaphor-- & it's not just applicable to survivors who happen to have DID. It's a tool for anyone serious about trauma recovery.

Just doing some careful research ahead of voting tomorrow.
It's surprising how well hidden some parties' policies are.
I start digging around in their small print.
Oh - you want to abolish renewable energy targets?
No thank you!

86% of Australians want stronger legal protections for whistleblowers, yet the major parties are both happy to prosecute whistleblowers.

With a third of Australians preferring representatives other than major parties members, a parliament with 1/3 Labor, 1/3 LNP and 1/3 others would be perfect. Minority Govt in a balanced parliament should be embraced as the best democratic and representative outcome. #auspol

Yesterday I visited my friend, Paul Willis, who owns Farrell Flat railway station. He lives there now and is restoring it - but for use as a home. He retains features wherever he can. I'll be interested to return in future to see the progress.
