I don’t know when Labor governments stop trying to please conservatives and learn that even by adopting their talking points and agreeing they’ll still get slammed - SO WHY NOT STAND FOR THE ACTUAL TRUTH AND WHAT’S RIGHT but it’s not today. This goes for appointments too

Federal police raided Dissent Bar in Canberra and stripped anti-fascist posters off the walls under Labor's brand new hate speech laws. Not a Nazi compound. A local café with political art. This is what biased laws look like in practice. 🧵

Scapegoating migrants is as old as history itself
Scapegoating migrants is designed to distract our attention from the truth and real issues – the abuse of corporate and media power and failure to tackle housing shortages for younger generations.

You can not take citizenship from an Australian citizen. The high court has made it clear. If you are Australian, you are allowed entry into Australia. Doesn’t mean authorities won’t follow up or monitor you, but short of a complete border closure, you can’t be denied entry.

At the end of this week, Anthony Albanese will become Australia's longest serving prime minister since John Howard. He's on track to rival Fraser and Hawke in time in the top job. But to leave what legacy?
