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

Labor eliminated humans from aged care assessment decisions. The result? An algorithm is screwing up assessments - and there's no human override possible. I asked the Department whether they consulted with anyone before making this change. You'll be unsurprised by the answer.
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!
ICYMI... Last night the outgoing Inspector-General of Aged Care Natalie Siegel-Brown said what the Greens have been warning about for years: that rationing aged care would create a two-tier system that favoured wealthier people. This is precisely what's happening 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 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.
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.
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.
Teaching conditions are learning conditions. When teachers thrive in their workplace, so do our kids. That’s why we should all get behind Queensland teachers today and join their calls for fairer pay and better working conditions. Solidarity. 💚✊️
In my hometown of Gladstone there are three LNG export terminals. In the last decade they've sent more than $125 billion of LNG offshore, but they've paid less than a billion in corporate tax combined. The gas companies are taking the piss at our expense. It's time to tax them.
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.

Activist Guido Reichstadter scaled the Frederick Douglass Bridge in Washington, D.C. earlier this month to protest the Iran war. "What I did was follow the call of my heart. I couldn't stay silent in the face of these ongoing acts of mass murder by the U.S. government in my name."

Jones is still not back hosting, but he sent in a few videos where he sounds pretty dejected: "Trump saying ... Mark Levin is my spirit animal ... If you don't endorse this Israel firster, then you're not MAGA" "Well, guess what, Trump? You're not MAGA anymore. You're make Israel great again"
This is amazing. Ukraine is now using low cost high altitude balloons, leveraging the natural prevailing winds from Ukraine to Russia. The balloons don't look like targets. Hovering deep into Russian territory, the drone is released and then flies to its target.
