410 pages of legislation, with zero time for scrutiny.

A stitch up by the major parties to entrench their power, and damage democracy.

This is Labor at their very worst.
Labor and the Coalition have just joined forces to vote down the referral of the newly introduced ‘Electoral Reform Amendment Bill 2024’ to the ‘Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters’ for inquiry. No scrutiny, no public input! #DemocracyFail #auspol

A question for Bishop Bird, of Ballarat, who instructed his lawyers to go all the way to High Court to avoid paying damages to a complainant of child sexual abuse on basis that priests aren’t technically employed by his diocese:
Did your priests accept JobKeeper during COVID pandemic?
If so, why?

I cook food for an elderly man in The Boroondara cook’s program. Landlord owns all 8 properties in the old shabby block. This winter, his heating was removed and a spit system put in. His rent has gone up by $300 a month. Owner has no mortgage! Tenant paying for the essential service #shitrentals
