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.

Waiving some small historical debts and providing compensation for illegal income apportionment is welcome, but it's just scratching the surface. The govt needs to implement the Robodebt Royal Commission recommendations now and get to work on creating a social security system that lifts us all up.
Yesterday, the war parties teamed up to shut the door on Iranians trying to flee a war they endorse and support. We know that there are Labor MPs who oppose this war and Australia's involvement. It's time they spoke up. Silence is complicity.
A 24 hour vigil outside Parliament House read the names of children killed by Israel in Gaza. Reading the names, I found it hard not to be moved thinking about these innocent lives lost.
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.
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.
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.
Yesterday the ABC posted a story with a headline claiming that 8 million Australians are on income support. This is entirely false but it's being weaponised to demonise people on welfare and undermine the social safety net. It’s a dangerous headline and the ABC needs to fix it.
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.
When it comes to housing, healthcare, and child care one size doesn’t fit all across our state. I'm grateful to have the support of Greater Minnesota leaders like Grand Rapids Mayor Tasha Connelly and honored she joined us when I laid out my plan to reform our state government.

Pick any issue Christian Nationalists say is destroying America - abortion, immigration, LGBTQ+ rights - and ask them to choose between two countries based solely on that policy. Every time, the country with the liberal policy is the one they'd actually want to live in. That's not a coincidence.

The Kremlin monsters are eating each other! 🍿 Putin wants to destroy Shoigu, and Shoigu might plot back. 🤺 Ex-defense minister Shoigu’s allies are jailed, while Putin fears him as a replacement. Or maybe Putin just needs a scapegoat for the failed blitzkrieg and the war now inside Russia. 🪖
You can’t end every crisis. But you can end someone’s. The journey to #Afghanistan left Bushra's daughter in need of urgent care. Help arrived and for the first time in months she felt that someone was there for them. This is what humanitarian aid can do. One life at a time.

@ladyjulia1997.bsky.social Jawohl, womit Sie mal wieder Recht haben. Da gibt es nur ein Problem. Nachdem der weiße Hai auftauchte, kenterte 🐷und tauchte auf einer Insel wieder auf. Dort versuchte es sich der Hawaianischen Bevölkerung anzupassen. Ob ihm das gelungen ist 🤷. Nach Hause telefonieren📞🐷
Don Lemon says that he got a gaydar ping when he was interviewing Stephen Miller, and also got a vibe that Stephen was flirting with him.🤭

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?
Une fillette de 5 ans a été enlevée brièvement, ce lundi 1 er juin, avant que le véhicule du suspect ne soit rapidement retrouvé.
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.🤦🏾♂️
The US spends $886 billion a year on defense. We can’t find money for universal healthcare. 68 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. This is a priorities problem. Republicans chose bombs over your body. Hold them accountable. #FundHealthcareNotWar
