Yesterday was an incredibly hard day in Parliament.

The Government has managed to push through appalling new laws that force immigration detainees to choose between deportation or jail.

Listen to what I had to say about it.

Kylea Tink MP: 'I am in a state of shock. We've seen a lot things happen in the human rights space but to find myself here after being briefed on Leg vital to human rights at 8:45am, to now being told that we won't have the opportunity to scrutinise this Leg is shocking.'

‼️1 in 8 Aussies live below the poverty line! That’s 3.3million people or the pops of SA, TAS, ACT & NT combined. This is the debate we should be having in Canberra but when ⁦⁦Andrew Wilkie MP⁩ & I called this out on Thursday there wasn’t much appetite! youtu.be/bo5aZPZ7x1Y?si…

‼️HEADSUP: this is definitely something every Australian should be concerned about. The security of Great Artesian Basin cannot be put at risk - in any way … ever! Farmers’ lawsuit over carbon sink theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic… #NorthSydney #protectourwater

There really is just no hiding the truth when it’s this plainly in site. #badpoltics shouldn’t stop Australians enjoying every the benefits the rest of the western world does. Cheaper to run, better for the environment - seriously! And you can still drive whatever car you want!

“If we accept a society in which women earn less money … we consign our daughters to being less free & less secure than our sons” Nailed it ⁦Jacqueline Maley⁩! Calling it out for what it is - seeing it means we can address it. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Let’s talk about the first WGEA report! In 37 of Australia’s top companies women earn at least 50% less then men, 107 employers pay between 40% & 50% less & 135 companies pay them 30% to 40% less. Seriously! Expecting women at CBA & Westpac will be talking to bosses today. 👎🏻👎🏻

Fuel efficiency standards exist in every market in the world except Russia & Australia. People fighting against proposed new standards are fighting for their own profit margin, not drivers. Internal documents suggest car lobby is over-egging price hikes smh.com.au/environment/cl…

The only reconsidering the Govt should do is if the proposed option B standards go far enough! Option C is ambitious. Option A is a waste of time. As drivers Option B is best. The Telegraph - CALL TO HIT BRAKES ON EVS AFTER US SHIFT

This is such a no brainer!! While some in the industry complain the truth is everyday Australians will be better off. We’ve been without standards for far too long! More efficient cars could almost halve Australians’ yearly petrol costs, new analysis shows theguardian.com/australia-news…

Can someone tell me … how many Portfolios does the current Federal Govt have? Just wondering how many more Ministers or Assistant Ministers are going to tell us how good the tax cuts are from the perspective of their portfolio? #askingforafriend
