No trust deed. Billions of tax dollars to be spent without oversight by Nauru - Michael West
The Labor Government's deal with Nauru to resettle unwanted refugees will cost Australian taxpayers billions, spent on who knows what.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Why Housing Affordability in Australia Needs Real Solutions
Labor’s deposit scheme won’t fix housing affordability in Australia. A public housing build program funded through dollar sovereignty could.

Today's ABC / Steve Cannane piece shows just how diabolical Albo is.
He exercises absolute control. He has MPs in fear of speaking up. He appeases lobbyists, rather than doing things for the people.
Our parliamentary system is in tatters if MPs aren't able to be a voice for their constituents.

masterclass in organising here. There is no official or perfect avenue for stopping a dangerous and oppressive law. Jump in. Mobilise. Tell em.
The Social Security and Other Legislation Amendment (Technical Changes No. 2) Bill 2025 failed to pass the Senate this session following a healthy dose of luck and community opposition to last-minute Labor amendments to legislate an extraordinary expansion of police powers.

Huge result for now. Rapid response starting last Thursday to establish a united front of community and civil society organisations. Gonna be much tougher for them to get this through from here 👍

He’s now dropping like a bloke in free fall, parachute unused, emptying his pockets of every Labor vision he ever had, in the mistaken belief this will reduce his final impact.
