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.

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 🤷
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.
Penny Wong was asked if the Australian Government believes that Trump's war on Iran - which Labor supports - was illegal. She couldn't answer. This is Australia under the ALP: providing political cover for a rogue state while it wreaks chaos and death across the world.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
if any of y'all get booked to guest on the show you should really consider telling J-Hud that screaming out "CLUTCHIN' AWN UH REAUX ZUH REE!!!" 15 years ago was never necessary.

The fact remains: my son has never been seen in the same room as the Cutie Bomber. Also Spider-Man. Also Superman. So by the transitive property, Spider-Man is Superman—which explains why neither has done anything about the Cutie Bomber.
