🚫 No trust, the social reasons. Trust in institutions, brands & truth is eroding due to rising inequality, economic insecurity, political polarization, misinformation, corporate scandals, social media echo chambers, lack of transparency, & declining independence.

In Dunkley by-election, Labor held primary vote while LNP gained ground. With One Nation & Palmer United absent, LNP may have benefited from their lost support. Still, Labor retained most of its base. Detailed vote analysis will reveal fuller picture of voting dynamics.

Labor's granting of visas to Palestinians reflects a compassionate immigration policy that learns from Australia's regrettable past when Australia was reluctant to accept Jewish refugees during WWII. While security concerns exist, humanity must prevail.

It's hilarious (and pathetic) that Trump is crying 'witch hunt' when he KNOWS he was indicted well before election season, and he DECLARED his candidacy TWO YEARS early to try and shield himself from accountability. The Justice Department doesn't play by your rules, Donnie.

This is a blatant attempt to manipulate women's views! ‍ No evidence supports the claim that women are turning to Dutton's Coalition. Let's not fall for this gaslighting. Women's voices and choices are diverse, and attempts to stereotype us are simply unacceptable!

Dark money, shady donors, and a lack of transparency... Sounds like Advance Australia is playing fast and loose with democracy! Weak donation laws allow lobby groups to hide their donors, creating a breeding ground for corruption and cronyism. This isn't democracy!

The Labor Gov't πŸ™οΈ is respondingπŸ“ˆ to the changing economic circumstances & focusing on fairness 🀝 for lower- & middle-income earners. The narrative is notπŸ“°of a broken promise, πŸ™…β€β™€οΈbut of economic pragmatism πŸ’°and thoughtful leadership. Most Australians agree with this decision.

Interestingly, no LNP prime minister has visited Alice Springs in over a decade! Anthony Albanese's visit was the first by a prime minister in a long time, which highlights the extent to which the town was previously neglected by the previous federal government.

The UTS study raises concerns about media bias in climate policy coverage. Their research found up to 89% negative coverage in News Corp, suggesting a lack of diversity of viewpoints. This raises questions about the impartiality of coverage & impact on public discourse.

Dutton engages in excessive criticism without offering concrete solutions, he is a pure obstructionist. He doesn't know how to balance this with constructive proposals, so that he can be seen as a credible alternative rather than just a critic. 🎯'
