My friend's 14 year old autistic daughter heard the Trump/Panadol shit on the radio today & asked my friend if she was the cause of her autism... Screw every media company in Australia who presented that mad man's ravings as if they have any ounce of credibility! 😡

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

America and Israel are rolling out a rerun of old war propaganda, and it's embarrassing. Your media and government are again lying to you.

If Plibersek wanted to seek revenge on Albanese she could always choose to be an activist in her role
Both parties of government have consistently used the Social Services portfolio as a kind of factional hazing ritual for several decades. Fundamental dynamic re: Morrison & Robodebt. Difficult to see how Plibersek escapes what is a well-grooved track by now.
Albanese just endlessly shuffling Plibersek from portfolio she wanted (education) to ones where she has to use her progressive cred to protect his left flank while getting little done (environment, social services).

Drive it like you stole it, stop fucking around, deal with climate change, poverty, and deal with inequality to pay for it. Deal with industry transition, deal with education costs, accept that large investments in ourselves today pay for more than themselves in the future. And dental in Medicare

Have just realised that in the 31 years that I have been voting, I have never lived in an electorate that is not a Liberal seat. This is a nice change!
