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".

John Howard waged a war against public institutions. He privatised aged care, supercharged public spending on private schools and created the hellscape that is job services and mutual obligations. Labor opposed all of these things at the time. Now it's their policy platform 🤷

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!

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 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

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%.

Israel’s genocidal intent has been clear for years. Stern words are not enough. Recognition of Palestine is not enough. Israel must feel the full weight of global pressure or the killing will continue.

You know you're on the right side of history when the reactionaries and genocide-apologists at The Australian are losing their minds about you. Solidary, Greta.

Millions of people around the country are calling on Labor to tax the gas corporations fairly to help Australians struggling to survive. Today, hundreds of union members in Gladstone joined that call. As a QTU member for more than 25 years I was proud to join them.

Any pretense of doing the job of the people has failed in the US House this evening. Speaker Mike Johnson, Louisiana coward, has canceled the War Powers Resolution vote to stop Trump's illegal war. The Senate passed it and Johnson knows it would pass the House to pass too. Video by @ jesscraven101
