The partner income test perpetuates domestic violence. Victims of domestic violence without their own source of income cannot easily flee a violent partner because the perpetrators' incomes are counted in Centrelink's income tests even after the relationship is terminated.

ACT Labor had a massive year for recruitment in 2019 and I think we crossed 4K members if I recall correctly. (meaning at least 1% of the ACT were Labor members, not just political members)
(we’ve done approximately nothing since so dunno where that’s standing now)

agreed. it’s not an accident. obviously not everyone who uses this term is misanthrope, but the conscious reframing of “childless” to “childfree” is driven by this kind of thinking.

counterpoint: if the marginal non-white voters in the seats the LNP need to win to win government think he’s racist against them they probably won’t vote for him
this worked pretty well against Dutton, not sure why it wouldn’t work again?

Why blame the politicians?
It’s not like Australia has some flawed electoral system which stops people from voting for parties and candidates with more aggressive emissions targets.
The Government, as most democratic governments do, cares about voters. And they mostly aren’t voting Green.
