We still have an integrity deficit in both the public and private sectors. Part of reforming this means having much better laws to protect whistleblowers.

CGT and negative gearing concessions were overly generous and helped fuel the housing crisis. I supported today’s changes, as I’ve long campaigned for reform. As things stand at the moment however the Gov has a lot of work to do to get the rest (e.g. trust changes) done right. #auspol #politas
Since the Tas Gov and Opp won't listen to expert advice, represent the majority of Tasmanians and stand up to the AFL' s stadium shakedown tactics, it falls to crossbench parliamentarians and Mayors to do it. #politas #auspol
Aged care providers shouldn’t be balancing their books off the back of vulnerable older Australian’s who are stretching every dollar to remain at home safe and independent. The Government must ensure older Australians get the care they pay for. #auspol #politas
It is blatantly obvious that our public health system cannot absorb the patient load if the 27-bed Hobart Clinic closes. State Gov needs to re-assess its priorities & negotiate to buy and operate the clinic #politas #auspol
Greyhound racing is a deeply unpopular and cruel industry that is propped up by online wagering. It is beyond time to ban online betting on greyhounds & hasten the industry’s demise. #auspol #politas
Tell the PM he’s dreaming if he thinks the issue of banning gambling ads is going to go away in the new year. The Parliament can no longer ignore the devastating impacts of gambling on Australians. The pressure for reform will only increase #auspol #politas
I didn’t vote for the social media ban; the real issue has always been tech companies allowing harmful behaviour to run rampant on their platforms. But with the ban in place, the Govt mustn’t forget to ensure social media platforms also clean up their act. #auspol #politas
Honoured to second Kate Chaney's bill to ban gambling ads today. It's good policy and Australians want it. If the Gov is too scared to stand up on this, they should at least get out of the way and let others do it for them #auspol #politas
Wonderful to get confirmation today that the Defence and Veterans’ Workshop will remain at Dowsing Point. Supporting veterans since 1980 the workshop is an essential service, especially in light of the findings of the recent Defence and Veteran Royal Commission. #auspol #politas
The gov’t remains determined to as good as disappear the benchmark Murphy report into gambling reform, and its key recommendation to ban gambling advertising. The PM needs to be called out as the one blocking an ad ban. #politas #auspol

Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.

Wings lead the WNBA in % of rim FG assisted at 71.95% (pbp). Sometimes it's the offball stuff. They take away the rotation help on both sides for an eventual rim FG: strongside corner lifts up, stackside flare screen draws up the other big defender, leaving no help at the rim.
