I asked the Prime Minister to allow Labor MPs a free vote on banning gambling advertising. His response? The same old guff to sidestep the uncomfortable reality that he’s the one holding this reform back #auspol #politas

How did you consent to this? It's said by the act of receiving benefits—your entitlement—you agree to do certain things in return. For the entitlement. You are required to sign a 'Job Plan' where you 'consent' to activities, and to payment sanctions. If you don't sign, you are penalised. It's legal!

Australia’s housing market isn’t a ladder, it’s a Ponzi scheme.

The new “first home buyer” plan just feeds the property lobby while renters queue in Bondi.

End negative gearing. Scrap CGT perks. Tax Airbnb rorts. Everyone knows how to fix it. No one’s got the guts.

April 2024, in response to an Israeli airstrike that killed 7 aid workers inc Australian Zomi Frankcom, the Australian govt promised Australia will “press for full accountability, inc any appropriate criminal charges”

Are we still pressing for full accountability? Or given up?

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Husic said on Sunday, “I think when people look at a deputy prime minister, they expect to see a statesman, not a factional assassin”.
Speaking to the ABC, the former industry minister said his outspokenness on the conflict in Gaza was part of the reason for his demotion.

That's interesting. I can't imagine ever letting publicly sourced 'compost' come anywhere near my place.
