More independents in Parliament is critical to having an actual democracy and real representation. Dutton's gotta go.

I attended a zoom Q&A with @dicksondecides.bsky.social and it was both informative and energising. Throw some weight behind this!

We’ve had interest but we are still finding people are unaware we exist. It is so important to us as many people as possible have the chance to nominate. We have FOMO and are doing a candidate blitz. We are hoping to connect with over 10k in the next few weeks.

Instead of raising a separate bill, Jarrod Bleijie cowardly hid the Path to Treaty repeal inside the unrelated Olympics amendment bill. He has Joh's rat cunning. Every bill this Crisafulli government raises will need the utmost scrutiny from everyone. #qldpol

Authorised by me on behalf of the ASRC. It’s the ugly truth as of today after the Albanese Government betrayed multicultural communities overnight. A profoundly shameful display lacking in leadership from a party elected on a promise to be more fairer & compassionate on migration.

I abhore this.
10 years ago the legacy caseload bill passed. This led to a decade of harm & flawed fast track process.
Tonight history just repeated itself with 3 migration bills passing which are an attack on refugees.
Different governments but same shameful result & cruelty.

Deportation, travel ban and dogs in detention laws pass
Three migration bills giving the government extensive powers to deport non-citizens and bar entry to Australia for some nationalities have passed the Senate.

Albo is really just laying the table for Dutton in exquisite detail. Might as well just hand over the reins now.

It’s nearly midnight here in Canberra and Jana and I just arrived on behalf of ASRc. We will be at Parliament House from 7am standing with refugees and our sector to try & stop 3 catastrophic and inhumane anti - refugee and migrant bills that could hurt up to 80,000 people. We will not stand for it.

Private Splendour; Public Squalor
As the sense public squalor intensifies, promises of private splendour gain ever more purchase among a public feeling brutalised by government retreat from its core responsibilities.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.

The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.

Here’s how they did it... 🧵
