The Australian government rushed through legislation to ban under 16s from using social media - a measure widely criticised by experts.

But after 18 months they haven't been able to implement a total ban on gambling ads to protect children - a measure almost unanimously supported by experts.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.

There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.

It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
World’s top 1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity, as “the shadow of global oligarchy hangs over UN General Assembly,” says Oxfam | Oxfam International

Yet another International Day allegedly for People with a Disability. Apart from keeping segregated schools, slave wages at ‘sheltered’ workshops, allowing providers to hijack funding and bipartisan refusal to enforce even basic accessibility laws, tell me again what we’ve achieved Australia?
