It is now clear when Albo said "no-one left behind", he really meant:
- the gambling industry
- big media
- fossil fuel lobby
- for-profit childcare corporations
- aged care companies
- employment service providers
- property developers...

But Australians with the greatest needs? Yeah nah. #auspol
Gambling ruins lives. It is absolutely unacceptable that the Albanese government will continue to choose vested interests over the wellbeing of Australians and hide behind a watered-down policy - if they ever introduce one. We need action on gambling harms now.

Smart countries don’t cut funding to their world-leading science and technology research organisations.

The Albanese government has to step up and provide adequate support for research and development in Australia - it has to invest in our future.

Underlining exactly what a duopoly is and what a duopoly does to a country and people

Sets low expectations, champions mediocrity and reinforces the status quo

Millions of Australian voters conditioned like rats to see nothing, hope for nothing and expect nothing

Just like politicians like it
Honestly, the LNP are largely irrelevant. More importantly, @australianlabor.bsky.social also has no intention of _genuinely_ reaching net zero by 2050 either, if you _look closely_ at their policies and performance.
