Nonsense. It was pap, drivel, focus-tested, push-button crap. Not a policy in it. At bottom, Dutton is hollow and empty. There’s nothing there.

Under Dutton, the Liberal Party is not a 'broad church' 'sensible centre' or even a conservative party. It's a lunatic fringe RWNJ party. Dutton is like an obnoxious racist One Nation candidate but bc he's a 'Liberal', he's given credibility & media air time he doesn't deserve. #auspol #DicksonVotes

If your religious beliefs are so fragile that the existence of other people who live differently feels threatening to your way of life, then that’s not a reflection on their values, it’s a reflection on yours.

This brilliant piece is a powerful reminder that our political system is broken but not beyond repair. The preferential voting system gives us a real opportunity to shake up the status quo by voting for candidates who aren’t beholden to corporate interests or party machines.

Parliamentary politics cannot save us - but we might be able to save parliamentary politics. The ALP and the Coalition cannot be trusted.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.
