English teacher, political junkie, leftie. Gloating momentarily post-election☺️ Now for strong action on climate, gambling, housing, homelessness, benefits🤞🏼
It would be nice if it were true. Employers DO NOT automatically transfer extra money they get from higher productivity to workers. In fact they have been keeping most of it for decades now.
Job-Ready Graduates has been described as the worst education policy the country has ever seen. It’s so bad, even the Liberals have now admitted it needs to go. I’m pushing the government to scrap this punitive and unfair scheme immediately. theguardian.com/news/ng-intera…
Melissa McIntosh asks her bulk billing question. Butler knows his stuff - just too good. The LNP seem very weak. They have nothing. #qt
Completely agree with @JasonClareMP in parliament just now! 👍 @Mon4Kooyong IS the best federal Member Kooyong has ever had! ✅ #auspol #QT
@JasonClareMP answering "best member ever for Kooyong" @Mon4Kooyong's question about reducing student debt by 25%. Thanks for your support in cutting student debt by 25%. It's not as high as 33% which is what the voters cut the number of Liberals here by. 💥🔥 #qt
Jason Clare delivers an acid burn 💪🏼🔥 with his trumpeting of the HECS debt 30% reduction, “…not as much as the 33% reduction to the ranks of the Coalition in this Parliament.”👏🏼 The ALP have so much fun #QT, hard not to pity the pathetic puny Opposition. #Auspol
The study of humanities is far from an academic luxury; it is a democratic necessity. By tracing our communal journeys, cultivating critical thinking, empathy, and ethical reasoning, and confronting global challenges, the humanities sustain the very foundations of democratic…
We only want hyper-practical thinking in the RW West these days. Not critical thinking: in the humanities or in science. 100 high-profile Australians call for university fees that don’t ‘punish’ arts students - by Caitlin Cassidy #auspol #humanities theguardian.com/australia-news…
Labor inherited 8% inflation and a trillion dollar debt. Inflation now is at 2.1% and debt has been cut. Whitlam inherited a surplus and no debt and low inflation and unemployment. In itself those are remarkable achievements. Add to that everything else. #auspol
Shalailah Medhora impressive this morning on #insiders
And media !
Surprise, surprise, the Nationals politicised the US beef imports issue. The PM @AlboMP clarifies: the ten year review finished, the ban lifted; no kowtowing to Trump, all a beat up by the LNP who don’t blink without weaponising it. #Auspol #Insiders
The funny thing is that they asked for the SCIENCE on the beef deal but can’t use the word for their Net Zero argument being put forward by Barnso!
If @AustralianLabor hadn’t done this the LNP would be asking why they didn’t. Just proves it’s irrelevant

| just wonder if the yanks knew that they were listening to an accomplished liar yesterday, a Charlatan a grifter, an oaf, a buffoon, a racist, homophobe, misogynist, a squatter, ambulance chaser, and a shifty dodgy character, just like their own POTUS Trump.... 🤣😂
Phil Coorey’s bias is showing in neon lights #Auspol He says nothing positive about Labor’s first week in Parliament which he calls “scripted”, while describing the depleted LNP as “noble.”😵💫 Please show some graciousness, Phil, 94 seats, many women. #afternoonbriefing
The Murdoch Media and One Nation are on about Welcome to Country Ceremonies. Who does it hurt to show a little respect for the original owners of the land you are on and their culture?
