Listening to Parliament today and I have a few suggestions for #auspol:
- Dorothy Dixers need to be moved to an email/newsletter that forms part of the parliamentary record. Let's not waste everyone's time.
- Similarly, the "statements" or speeches of special interests could be an email.

I will never understand how both Libs and Labour are supporting a stadium but we have a horribly understaffed and underfunded healthcare system. People are experiencing massive delays accessing MRIs, mental health professionals and specialist appointments. #Politas needs to do better

#ausmedia Do better. There was no "snubbing" of a woefully inadequate nominee, there was simply awarding of a prize to a more credentialed candidate who isn't currently involved in active fascism, eugenics and destruction of democratic norms.

Is anyone else in #auspol finding listening to Parliamentary sessions rage inducing at the moment? The audacity of the Opposition is unmatched and we need to introduce penalties for lying in Parliament.

#auspol needs to regulate the media. This fiasco of a soundbite from a foreign leader about "women needing to tough it out during pregnancy" does not deserve the attention it's getting and the way it's being reported is awful. He's unqualified, uninformed and it's designed to further harm women.

I'm seriously unsure that the level of hypocrisy that sees Brendan Carr appear on Fox News to decry Jimmy Kimmel lying can be replicated elsewhere. Fox News, the broadcaster who knowingly lied about voting results and machines, is where Carr chooses to appear. The US experiment has failed.

I would really appreciate it if #auspol journos could refer to Netanyahu, and Putin, as "alleged war criminals" or "wanted war criminals" when they're reporting on their statements. ICC arrest warrants are current for both of them.

Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down?
J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so he’d have an easier time kayaking and it’s a blip on the radar.

#auspol A Senator standing up in the Senate and saying he did this and "I trust you'll appreciate that, under the circumstances, to have that kind of thing [ribs breaking in CPR} determined at an inquest would not have been a positive thing for me or my fellow soldiers" is a new low.
The death of a man during a house search involving new One Nation senator Warwick Stacey in Ireland in the 1970s was a "formative moment" for his son, who became an IRA killer.
One Nation senator warned against giving CPR to dying Belfast man while serving in British Army
One Nation's newest NSW senator, Warwick Stacey, was at the centre of a controversial search of a house that ended with its owner dying from a heart attack.

Listening to debate in #auspol HoR this morning and I don't understand why the FEE-HELP legislation hasn't been amended to do both the 20% reduction and the cap on indexation. It makes sense to take both short and long term action to assist people studying.

Sheep of the week award goes to Minnie. Minnie is 12 and started struggling this winter so she’s now has a shed and a coat (with warming patch on extra cold nights). This week she’s been letting me rug and unrug her without any fear. Absolute superstar. #sheep #rarebreedsheep

Absolute fiascos like the one just perpetuated in the Senate are part of the reason young voters are disengaged. The Senate President needed to touch grass if she honestly believed holding up a sign was more of an affront to decency than a genocide. FFS #auspol

#auspol again sanctioning someone who tells the truth (racism in the Senate). And the two major parties again working together to avoid confronting systemic racism in that place.
I possibly need to stop listening to Parliament in the tractor. This is rage inducing.

Please please call your MP or relevant elected rep about this today/tomorrow. Palestinians are being deliberately starved on an unimaginable scale and we need to do everything in our power to force change.
We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues.
Food prices have increased 40 fold.
UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza.
Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

Genuine question #politas, how do we improve voter knowledge and literacy? I don't think the Government, regardless of who actually forms it, is going to do anything so what could we do? The already low literacy level of the State isn't helping but it's compounded by the lack of voting education.

As we approach the Tassie election, is anyone else worried that for all of the electioneering there's been a stark lack of education about how to fill in a ballot properly? We have a high percentage of illiterate community members and last time a fair number of ballots were informal #politas

Greetings from Ukraine.
At night, russia attacked the western regions,
those bordering Poland, Moldova, and Romania.
Why? I can guess the reasons.
There are damages and casualties.
I had my warcoffee.

Watching #parentalguidance and holy heck, the victim blaming and oppression of women by some of those parents is horrendous. A woman saying, in 2025, with their whole chest "Don't bring the girl home with the short shorts" is horrendously sexist.

ICE tasered a man at a Walmart in NM! His screams are heartbreaking! Has Walmart acknowledged this unconscionable act in their store? And why was the woman recording this video asked to leave but not the masked attackers in Aisle H26?!
