How dare you preach to us about "protecting kids," @albomp.bsky.social.
You've spent the last 2 years enabling the slaughter of an estimated 380,000 Palestinian kids.
You've made a policy choice to keep 3 million households that include kids in poverty.
You are quite rightly despised. #auspol

Our ban on social media for under-16s is about protecting kids online and empowering parents.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
