When it comes to healthcare, Tasmanians are being left behind. I seconded Dr Helen Haines’ motion, because it’s not about getting more, it’s about fairness. Everyone deserves healthcare that works, no matter where they live. #politas #auspol

Climate disasters are getting worse and costing more. The question isn’t if we can afford to act, but why Govs allow the biggest climate vandals to avoid paying their fair share. T...

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.

The fuel and cost-of-living crises are hitting hard. But there is simply no excuse for anyone going hungry in one of the richest countries in the world. Many Australians are in need of emergency food relief because the Gov's priorities are currently wrong #auspol #politas
I’m no fan of the Iranian regime, but the attacks on Iran are patently illegal. It’s galling that rather than standing up in defence of international law, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister have as good as cheered the US and Israel on for this latest illegal action. #auspol #politas
There’s no excuse for the Federal Government’s refusal to ban gambling adverting. Shameful that they don’t care about the harm of gambling addiction, and are scared stiff of the gambling & media companies and of the AFL & NRL #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
A one-off cut to student debt is welcome, but better would be students not racking up the debt at all. After 3 years the Gov still hasn’t axed the Morrison-era increase to fees, & no one is talking about fee-free courses which is what is really needed #auspol #politas
AUKUS is the biggest defence project in Australian history and yet it still hasn't been properly scrutinised. Good on the Australian Peace and Security Forum for establishing the AUKUS Public Inquiry. Submissions can be made here aukuspublicinquiry.netlify.app #auspol #politas
Today the Tas Govt officially binned the Planning Commission’s damning report into the proposed Mac Pt AFL stadium. But if the knuckleheads actually knew anything about ‘future prosperity’, they’d be focussed instead on essential infrastructure and services #auspol #politas
We haven’t only just seen a brazen attempt to wind back transparency from this Gov, it’s been much more insidious than that. And it’s eroding trust, building community frustration & weakening our democracy. #politas #auspol
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
AEC proposes big change to all of Southern Tasmania’s electorates. It will make for a fascinating contest, including for state MPs whose boundaries are the same. For me? Bring it on!
Dominic LeBlanc on US trade talks: "The Mexicans are beginning a formal technical conversation. We'll get to that point as well, but ... we're not prepared to concede a whole bunch of things to find that there's another list of things that we're supposed to give the United States."
Chaos, INCOMPETENCE, and governing by Truth Social’:Nicolle ROASTS Trump’s FAILED Iran operation [Edit] Trump forced to abort "Project Freedom" to help ships cross the Strait of Hormuz, after Trump's Truth Social angered Saudi Arabia May 8, 2026 www.ms.now/deadline-whi... Deadline: White House
Trump is “increasingly using desperate language and even considering desperate moves,” says @tparsi.bsky.social, because “according to the plan of those who sold this blockade idea to the Trump administration, Iran should have crumbled about 10 days ago, and it clearly has not happened."
Trump continues his Comey retaliatory campaign, and like the first, this indictment is dead in the water. @joycewhitevance.bsky.social
$1.5 trillion for the military? 🤯 That budget is massive, but imagine if we pivoted that towards universal healthcare. We could fully fund primary care, eliminate medical debt, and lower prescription costs for every single person. 🏥💊 Is it time to prioritize our health over hardware? #health
“Is there anyone that is an ethics firewall left at the DOJ?” The former head of the DOJ’s ethics office, Joseph Tirrell, who advised then-Attorney General Bondi & Deputy Attorney General Blanche before being fired without explanation, lays out what it means when the ethics staff has been gutted.

Affordable housing isn’t about charity. It’s not even about economics. Housing is: - healthcare - education - climate policy - economic policy Housing is everything policy. A home shouldn’t be a privilege. It's something we all need to thrive. Get housing right and everything else gets easier.

Markuszower herhaalde vandaag wat hij eergisteren in de kamer zei: Mensen (kamerleden) die meeliepen met de Rode Lijn demonstratie, die (volgens hem) door Hamas is geïnfiltreerd, dan zeg ik hetzelfde: dan moet de overheid ook daar met desnoods maximaal geweld optreden.

My opponent, Kevin Kiley, may be too busy playing politics to answer your calls, but I won’t be. As your next congressman, I’m making one thing clear: I work for you. That’s why I’m launching a 24/7 constituent hotline (916) 534-8106—because your concerns don’t clock out at 5 PM, and neither do I.
