Let’s not get confused about science. Many studies have looked for a link between vaccines and autism — none has found one. “We haven’t ruled it out” is a logic loop; by that logic we also haven’t ruled out peanut butter, bedtime stories, or blue socks. 1/

Politicians constantly claim that the government must “live within its means”, just like any family. In this video, I explain why the household analogy is not only wrong — it is the foundation of austerity, underfunded services, infrastructure decay, suppressed wages and

Pauline Hanson loves drumming up fear about the “security concerns” burqas pose, but I don’t remember the last time someone in a burqa robbed a bank. I do remember her repeatedly ignoring ASIO’s warnings about the rise of right-wing extremism though.

Dr Monique Ryan MP asking the question on all our minds today in Parliament. The Albanese Government's secret, wasteful and cruel Nauru deal is not our national interest - and it doesn't align with our shared values. It's time for the cruel offshore detention regime to end.
