Dear journalists.
The new Vic opposition leader owes her position to RW cookers in her party room. So she can't answer direct questions on gender affirming care. Given the QLD govt just banned access to GAC it's a serious question.
You know, do your job.

How many unprecedented weather events and 'natural' disasters do we have to endure before people realise that the cost of electricity is the least of our problems?

“Opposition leader Brad Battin previously opposed VAD, but changed his mind to vote for the reforms after personal experiences with a friend.”
I’m a bit weary of Tories who can only empathise when the thing happens to them. It’s not how government, or humans, are supposed to work.

Good on the Guardian for this. I'm astonished at how many journalists at other organisations don't seem to know this or think that it's important to mention. Coalition politicians keep claiming it's net zero causing rising costs without any pushback
The Coalition claims pursuing net zero will increase power bills – but in the real world the opposite is true.
Are we surprised?

Gough Whitlam towers above any other Australian leader
Why?
He was brave, & committed to serving the Australian people. He would not cave to lobbyists, corporations, media owners, & foreign powers & he paid the price
No politician in Australia is fit to shine Gough’s shoes
Amy Remeikis gets it..
