Australians Calmly Rejecting Rage Bait

Reject outrage, embrace reality.
Better than Gina's LNP? Yes.

Representing working Australians? Not a chance.

With conservatives losing traction, a minority government of so-called independents is their new solution to keep the organised workers' movement from forming a majority government.

Dutton doesn't think hard working Aussies deserve the right to disconnect when they clock off.

As a community independent would you represent your electorate by opposing the closure of loopholes used by businesses to exploit working Aussies for less than the minimum wage?

That's how the Teal Independents represent their communities.

You'd be poorer under Peter.

Peter opposes Closing Loopholes so that big business can exploit hard working Aussies for less than the minimum wage.

Fatima Payman reminds us of the pitfalls of a minority government as she refuses to support Labor's environmental reform bill after a meeting between her and Minerals Council of Australia CEO Tania Constable, who was described as "camping out" in the senator's office. 1/2 #auspol

It must feel pretty edgy to say "Labor's just LiBeRaL-LiTe".

I get why people might be under that impression after consuming all that cherry-picked, pro-minority government content from professional rage-baiters but they never let the full picture stop them from cashing in. 1/3 #auspol

Big business must be loving all these new employee rights, mandatory taxes, loophole closures, caps on deductions & the strongest wage growth in a decade. #auspol

Kangaroo Court of Australia confuses Patreon supporters for the Labor party itself in their latest smear targeting Friendlyjordies.

The headline makes the bold claim that the Labor Party pays Friendlyjordies despite being unable to substantiate the claim with any evidence. 1/3 #auspol

You've probably seen a graphic doing the rounds of the gas companies that aren't paying any corporate tax (keyword: corporate) and it's rightfully disappointing but that's not to say that they aren't paying. (1/5) #auspol

Or you could support a hodge podge of independents with no proven track record and a pinky promise that they'll 'do better'.

We take our hard earned achievements for granted as we delude ourselves with promises from self-interested independents who aren't in a position to fulfil them. #auspol

I don't care if it's Clive Palmer, Gina Rinehart or Simon Holmes à Court, none of them should be able to make a mockery of our political system by parachuting candidates into our parliament with their near limitless resources. 1/3 #auspol

(1/2) The ABC is fearmongering as usual as they compare the Labor government's Help to Buy Scheme with a completely different scheme in the UK.

The article works hard to generate fears over home-owners having to cover the cost of ongoing maintenance, body corporate & rental fees! #auspol

Two consecutive surpluses and the lowest inflation rate in three years. You might not care about surpluses but a lot of people do. Labor will return to opposition if they can't convince the undecided that they can manage the economy. 1/4 #auspol

The ABC with it's supposed "lefty-bias" never fails to cast a shadow on what is a resounding victory for South Australia Labor as they reclaim the seat of Black with a massive 13% swing securing 60% of the 2PP vote. #sapol #auspol

You don't need to be right to win an election when you can exploit fear, promote division & manufacture outrage. #auspol

Don't get me wrong, I love the general trajectory of Greens' policy, but I'd love them even more if they didn't reject progress in pursuit of perfection - that's a luxury only the privileged have, for the rest of us time is a currency that we can't afford to waste. #auspol

Dutton is higher energy prices, worsening healthcare, broken services, lower wage growth, higher inflation, unaffordable housing & jobs for mates. #auspol

It's impossible not to see the 'media is a spotlight' modus operandi at work when pieces like this go the extra mile to hide who the federal government was at the time. 1/3 #auspol

Labor's Same Job Same Pay (SJSP) laws are changing the lives of working Australians.

No longer can companies in any industry exploit contractor loopholes to pay their regular workers below the award rate, avoid making super contributions or deny employee entitlements. #auspol

Inflation is at its lowest in nearly 4 years at 2.8%

Annual CPI has dropped to 2.8%

Wage growth is increasing at 4.1% p/a.

And total earnings are increasing by 4.6% p/a. 1/2 #auspol

The LNP's idea of a stronger economy is higher profits for corporations while workers receive less.

For the first time since Rudd wage growth has outpaced corporate profits. This is the first step on our way to a healthier, more stable economy that benefits the many and not just the few. #auspol

Everyone wants to pay less. Price increases are unpleasant and falsely blaming price increases on renewables is Dutton's biggest ally in promoting his nuclear non-policy. When the average person doesn't know how energy prices are calculated, it's easy to sell them this lie. 1/4 #auspol
