During the treasurer's budget speech tonight, Australia’s billionaires got $560,000 richer. While they're accumulating wealth for doing literally nothing, you’re working harder and harder and falling further behind. Nothing in this budget changes that. It's time to tax the 1%.

After all the PM's spin about understanding poverty, Labor's budget does nothing to lift people out of it. No increase to JobSeeker, Youth Allowance, DSP or pension. This is a classic Labor move: feign concern about people's struggles then ignore them when it actually matters.
So much about the war on Iran that we've heard from Labor and the war parties is pure doublespeak. They claim to want to save Iran from oppression - but they cheer the bombing of the Iranian people. Australians oppose this war, and we oppose Labor's choice to drag us into it.
Labor's NDIS cuts will kill. If the government is so desperate to find savings in the budget they could slash AUKUS or tax billionaires instead of risking the lives of disabled people. The Greens will fight these cuts tooth and nail.
A clear admission here from the Department that Labor is rationing - i.e. denying - aged care from older Australians. And they're using an untested algorithm that is consistently under-assessing care to do their dirty work for them.
People are dying waiting for care, because Labor won’t release more home care packages. The Greens say that’s not good enough and we need Labor to do better now.
So-called mutual obligations are counterproductive and legally dodgy. I asked Labor if they would pause MOs, given the fuel crisis triggered by the illegal war they support is going to harm people on poverty payments the most. Their answer? Mutual obligations are good actually.
The so-called anti-corruption watchdog has let Robodebt's architects walk away unscathed. No accountability, no consequences. Solidarity with Kath Madgwick, Jenny Miller and the thousands of others who keep fighting for justice. @kathmadgwick.bsky.social @chexabonus.bsky.social
Robodebt was a mass deception based on a cruel bet: that people on income support would simply give up and pay debts they didn't owe. Today I tabled a petition from Kath Madgwick and Jenny Miller calling for those responsible to finally be held accountable.
Labor says they're worried about the safety of Australians in the Middle East. They claim to be concerned about civilian deaths and the chaos that's unfolding. Well, maybe they should have thought about that before they were first out the gate to endorse Trump's illegal war.
Every Australian can see what's happening in Iran on their screens. Schoolgirls ripped to shreds. Hospitals flattened. Rivers of fire. Acid rain. THIS is what Labor has committed Australia to. An historically immoral and illegal crime with apocalyptic consequences.

Megyn Kelly: “After 14 years inside Fox News, I’m exposing what viewers refuse to see—how the network morphed from news into a propaganda machine designed purely to cheerlead wars, worship Trump, and feed you manufactured rage instead of facts.”
RFK jr. is, once again, trying to practice medicine without a license. This time he suggests that a good diet is more effective at treating mental disorders than psychiatric medications such as SSRI's. Can a good diet cure stupidity?

Wait... Did Republicans just stop the Dems from speaking because we stood up for your teachers and kids?!? Not really the best way to kick off #TeacherAppreciationWeek.

The green flag isn’t “never fighting.” Healthy couples still have conflict—they just repair quickly. A simple “let’s start over” or even reaching for your partner’s hand can interrupt the stress response and remind both people the relationship is still safe. #relationshipadvice

Q: If Trump is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back for checkups? Oz: I think he likes the results. He does really well. He aces the test every single day. Really? If that is actually the case and he's in "perfect" health, why does he need checkups every single day?

Trump claiming Israel wouldn’t exist without him is nonsense. He has done nothing Democrats haven't done—both parties let Israel commit genocide with total impunity. Israel’s existence was never in doubt; it is the lives of their innocent neighbors that are at risk. Stop funding their terror.🤦🏾♂️
