A certain journalist went after Seymour with *evidence backed* attributions on his involvement with, and continuing support from, the Atlas Network.

Our current Dep PM was pushed into a corner when Mihi simply persisted, essentially, "You ADMITTED this YOURSELF*.

And boy did he *CRUMBLE*.
Oh I would love for a reporter to put Bullshit Barbie in her place.

I also am a fan of Craig and it really feels like Labour wants to beat Greens instead of National. Not very strategic imo. How can an electorate seat be more important than building a solid coalition.

Healthcare access restrictions are part of the US blueprint we’re following - it’s inevitable that if the coalition are re-elected more healthcare restrictions will follow here.
We have a coalition that demonstrably does not believe in equity, in protecting vulnerable communities - it will happen.

Friends, this is a low hanging boycott action.

Similar to Hulu and Disney+ actions.

You can help turn the tide and it will make other platforms think twice.

The working class has much more power than they think.

"For decades, governments of every stripe have treated universities as businesses to be managed rather than institutions of learning and curiosity. ... Students are rebranded as customers, research, degrees and graduates as outputs."
