I wasn't yet eligible to vote (my first election was '77, Gough's last attempt), but I well remember the attitude (fanned of course by conservative media) of many people who didn't understand the Constitutional issues or recognise the machiavellian plotting by Fraser, Kerr and Barwick...

One of the most damaging and enduring aspects of the Dismissal, fifty years ago today, was its poisoning of the electorate against the Whitlam government, ensuring that it would lose the subsequent election and creating fear of progressive government.

When Australian coal exports are burned overseas, they release around 1.15 billion tonnes of CO₂ a year.
We don’t count these as “our” emissions, but the atmosphere doesn’t care about creative accounting and excuses like that.

Scott Morrison's government allocated $185 million for Christmas Is and maybe over $1.6 billion for Nauru. Now the Labor govt is paying out huge sums. Something is not right here.

Australia’s democracy has changed radically since 1975.

So many more women in parliament, but less o in the Colaition

So many more minor party and independent MPs

And each MP now has so many more constituents…

Watch, there's a mehod to Dems madness:

The Bill will be pushed to The House, Moses Mike will have to swear in Grijalva, THEN released Epstein Files. Trump's out, the GOP votes for WTP.

Fams get together over the holidays + paychecks.

They're focused for the first time in 10+ years.

1. They're worried that Trump has already successfully pinned the shutdown on them. At least, they believe it, and the GOP base believes it.
2. They are worried about being primaried over an air crash that will happen if this continues.
3. They ain't worried about being primaried over the ACA.

Trump is CHOOSING not to tap into contingency funds & Senate Republicans blocked bills to keep SNAP going.

Federal courts have ruled on this now. Trump needs to follow the law and fund SNAP!

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.
