That headline, though! #chefskiss #auspol #ACMECampaign
A screen capture of an ABC article's brilliant headline: "How Peter Dutton's Wile E Coyote campaign flew off the cliff", and the opening line of the article: "The writing was on the wall for Peter Dutton long before Anthony Albanese fired the starter's gun on the election race that would see the Coalition decimated." Silhouetted in the background is Peter Dutton and members of the press.

And does this image not bring concentration camps to mind?? This is terrifying!

How *not* to distance yourself from rhetoric that isn't working... except with the far right. #auspol #ausvotes

A screenshot that reads, in summary: Queensland locks up children for longer than any other state. Detention rates have been rising since 2021. This has to change. It's costly and doesn't keep communities safe. More than a third of children imprisoned in Queensland have been living in unstable or unsuitable housing. More than 50% have been impacted by DFV. Almost all come from low socio economic households. 72% of them are First Nations children, who are overrepresented due to systemic racism, bias, socioeconomic disadvantage, and the ongoing impacts of colonisation and intergenerational trauma. When children are supported, nurtured and loved, when they can go to school, sleep in their own beds at night and be with their friends, they thrive and our communities are safer.
