Senator David Shoebridge
@davidshoebridge
The NT government gets 80% of its budget from the Commonwealth. Some of that money goes on spit hoods for kids. On Friday, every child in detention was locked in their cell all day because there weren't enough staff. This is where your federal dollars go.

Hereโs a plan to fully fund the NDIS, cancel AUKUS! That will free up $100 billion over the next decade to give people with disability the support they need.

BREAKING Its not just the US and UAE, Australia also providing 'defensive' military support to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. The Albanese Labor Government cannot pretend we are not involved Trump and Netanyahu's war of choice when we up to our neck in it.
The Larrakia Nation turned up today to the hearing into youth justice but the NT Government (who are the ones responsible for the harms kids are facing in the NT) has refused to come. I agree with Uncle Eric Fejo that it's an absolute disgrace.
Many people asked how it was that the Government decided to grant ECAJ $124 million more in funding this budget. Turns out thatโs the number ECAJ asked for. Donโt know any other area in Government where this is how it works!
Workers in onshore detention tried to save a person from a burning room and got injured doing so. MTC, the Trump-linked US company running the centres, did not provide enough staff or training. When I criticised them, the Government jumped in to defend this company.
Four years into this Labor government and we can see what they are all about. Super profits for gas corporations, cuts to people on NDIS, billions more for war and AUKUS and changes to negative gearing and property taxes that only make inequality worse.
Asking questions of the counter terrorism unit in Home Affairs - they got a ton of money to tackle online radicalisation of young people but they're not doing that by penalising algorithms that promote extremist content, instead the focus is on young people themselves.ย They just don't get it.
The US Secretary of War said he was going to disregard rules of engagement in war saying, "Who cares what other countries think." I asked if the Albanese Government cares. Turns out they care a lot about AUKUS.
Defence knew in October 2025 that the LOTE project on the Collins Class submarines was in crisis. When I ask back then if the $11 billion project was on track, they said there was "no change to the program of record". The LOTE program has now been massively de-scoped with a scathing audit.
Foreign Minister Wong is absolutely right. The Greens want to get out of AUKUS. If you are in the ALP you should probably get out too.
The Australian War Memorial is sponsored by the companies that build the weapons that kill people, and at Estimates today we made them say so out loud.

Gas is Europeโs most critical vulnerability, and countries that rely on it for electricity production, like ๐ฎ๐น, ๐ฌ๐ท, or ๐ฎ๐ช, could see a big increase in bills. Meanwhile, countries using more renewable energy, like ๐ช๐ธ & ๐ต๐น are more resilient against the price shocks. Read more @eurcorrespond.bsky.social ๐
