The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens.
Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies.
This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

I’m getting weary of this. This government is representative of what the people of this place want. The argument is with all of us. Turning it into a constant personalised political snipe belittles the nature of the problem.
Thanks to Murray and his ALP pals, weather reports like this will become increasingly scary and weird

I find it obscene that they have a target 🎯 unemployment rate without appropriate welfare benefit rate to support the unemployed.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded.
These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

If he weren't such a hard headed racist, I would never have known he had Lebanese heritage.
I also don't care, because who he is as a person transcends any issues I have with any ancestry.
Like, where your great to the x grandparent was born has zero meaning for anyone not in your family.

To encourage confidence, Cheetahs, leopards and other large cat parents motivate their little ones to practice their hunting skills by purposely ignoring them, then performing an exaggerating flight response when their babes find them “on the hunt.”

Why do governments always target the participants. Why don't they crack down on the unscrupulous organisations that persuade parents to do therapy every week/fornight regardless of whether the child needs it or not?

Autism is a lifelong disability. Creation of the NDIS led to state-based services being defunded and disappearing - they can't be revived overnight.

The babies who were conceived during the famine and whose mothers were undernourished while their brains were being built—those brains were smaller. When those people were adults, their brains were wired in a different way.
