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.

Spoke to Tom Elliott on 3AW about why mutual obligations are bad and counterproductive. Not sure I convinced him but appreciate him having me on!
We've got 30 years of evidence that privatised employment services and mutual obligations make finding work harder. It's insulting to people trapped in this harmful, failed system for Labor to simply fiddle at the edges and label it "reform".
Labor know their aged care algorithm is cooked - that's why they've put money aside in the budget to reassess it. But they still won't put humans back in charge of decision-making!
Despite the govt trying to hide it we now know that 200,000 older people are waiting for home care. The money is budgeted, providers are ready - there's no reason why Labor can't release more care packages TODAY. If they won't choose to do it, the Senate will force their hand.
The National Press Club needs to explain why they think it's appropriate to invite the Israeli ambassador to speak - a man representing a country that has murdered 300 journalists since it started is genocide in Gaza. Hillel Newman should be expelled, not honoured by the media.
DEWR sought an assurance report on the Targeted Compliance Framework. They got it. It told them clearly that the TCF could NOT be assured. And yet the government continues to administer this unlawful system so it can suspend income support payments for bullshit reasons.
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.
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
If you're as angry about Labor's budget for billionaires as I am then why not come work with me! We're looking for two Brisbane-based media and policy advisors to join our team and help us take on the political and corporate establishment. Details in the replies 👇 Applications close on Monday!
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.

Last year, the Admin illegally terminated thousands of grants at the NEA and NEH—agencies that help generate more than $1 TRILLION in economic activity. These cuts don’t just silence voices and stymie creators. They erase the spaces where healing, connection, and community happen. It’s just WRONG!
Queensland's return to the Joh-era. 2 months after the Crisafulli govt removed the CCC recommended ban on property developer donations the money is pouring into the LNP. The ban is still in place for councils. Minister for everything, Jarrod Bleijie, says it's just "electoral fairness". #qldpol

I joined @seiu.org to protest Republicans' latest reconciliation bill which includes $350 billion more for Trump's immigration enforcement machine. Democrats have been successful in withholding funding for ICE, so Republicans are trying to abuse the reconciliation process to push ICE $ through.

Persuasion (1995), avoid the 2022 one at all costs. The Red Violin (1998), Ars longa, vita brevis in movie form, with the added bonus of extreme closeups of Samuel L. Jackson being moved to tears Not a movie, but The Brokenwood Mysteries, all 12 seasons on a damn loop.

DOJ attorneys are supposed to serve the American people, not the personal interests of a president. That is why this conflict of interest issue matters. If the DOJ cannot act independently from political power, public trust in the system collapses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGEJfNFyK-g

Thousands of teachers are stuck on precarious contracts because the government has completely mismanaged its workforce plan, training extra teachers without being able to employ them. The latest figures showed less than a quarter of newly-qualified teachers were able to find a permanent contract.

💔 In Kyiv, a mother lost her leg while trying to reach shelter with her children during Russia’s attack. Her 3-year-old son was wounded. Her 4-year-old survived with bruises. These are not military targets. These are families trying to survive the night.
Everything here is so impressive. Focusing on the subtle details. Simple, but coming behind Teaira McCowan to give her an outlet to start it. Snaking around McCowan, filthy tween cross to get by an agressive DeWanna Bonner. Continuing to snake, and finding McCowan's rim run.
