Do those who scorn Welcome to Country actually understand what it is?
The form the politicians' derision takes shows they are either ignorant or lying. And neither is a qualification for government.

The Coalition commits to Christian Nationalism
The Republican Party thought it could ride the tiger of the Christian Right: instead, that movement swallowed the party whole.

Things COVID has proven:
1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely.
2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to.
3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury.
4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

How Peter Dutton got it wrong on the caravan – and why voters need to know it
Dutton went harder than Anthony Albanese or Chris Minns on the caravan found filled with explosives on Sydney’s fringe, because he had a political objective.

The #MoniqueRyan bill that #Labor have failed to bring to debate in the #HOR.
Dr Ryan said “tell my electorate and the electorates of the other members of the crossbench, when and how they’re going to take action to restore Australia’s faith in the integrity, transparency and honesty of its govt”.
Dr Ryan said “tell my electorate and the electorates of the other members of the crossbench, when and how they’re going to take action to restore Australia’s faith in the integrity, transparency and honesty of its govt”.
![The Indi MP, Helen Haines, has asked the Kooyong MP, Monique Ryan, why debate on her lobbying bill should be resumed urgently.
Ryan introduced a private member’s bill last year to “clean up politics” by enforcing stronger rules and more transparency around lobbying, as well as making ministers’ diaries publicly available.
Responding to the question, Ryan says the bill was not debated when placed before the house last year:
With the help of Senator David Pocock, we secured a Senate inquiry into the bill. That received 346 submissions but received only a single day of hearings. That inquiry concluded that the government should improve its regulation of lobbyist activities in this house. The government has not done so and it has not indicated any plan to do so.
In this 47th parliamentary [term], the member for Indi and many of my crossbench colleagues have placed integrity measures before this house. Bills to stop pork barrelling, bills for truth in political advertising, bills for meaningful and equitable reform of electoral donations – we’ve seen what goes on with that – bills that stop jobs for mates, bills that protect whistleblowers. Not one of the bills has been debated by this government.
Ryan says she wants the government to “tell my electorate and the electorates of the other members of the crossbench, when and how they’re going to take action to restore Australia’s faith in the integrity, transparency and honesty of its government”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rrigcgajvpkngw5ewsmqznjj/bafkreifdtct5er5afwefj7v3otqfitgflqfch4a3qm2jse27xyuk5c47ae@jpeg)
