Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

72% of Australians support a total ban on gambling ads.
It’s been 881 days since the Murphy Report recommended that Parliament ban gambling advertising.
30% of Australian children aged 12 to 17 gamble - they lose nearly $20 million every year.

Gambling ad ban would pass parliament with conscience vote, Labor MP says
Macarthur MP Mike Freelander believes the multi-partisan support for restricting gambling advertising means the reforms will "get there" eventually.

1 in 7 Australians are now living in poverty, up from 1 in 8 just a few years ago.
It’s no coincidence that demand for domestic violence services is rising at the same time. To end domestic violence, Labor needs to stop rising poverty.

Universities never indoctrinated anyone. It’s simply that right wing views don’t survive critical thought or serious scrutiny.
And it’s really easy to call everything a conspiracy when you don’t know how stuff works.
