This 7 seconds of wisdom from Amy Remeikis on #Insiders yesterday should be the mantra of the Albanese government, played at the beginning, middle & end of every meeting & every policy decision they make. When will we get a government with political courage #Auspol cc: Anthony Albanese

Jobseeker Increase Means Recipients Can Now Afford To Rent an Apartment in Sydney in 1994 #Budget2023 theshovel.com.au/2023/05/09/job…

So miserly $20 week increase to #Jobseeker has been confirmed, as well as a pathetic $15 per week rent assistance This is devastating news. People in poverty are literally worse off than when ALP elected last year #RaiseHell #RaiseTheRateForAll #MeanerThanMorrison #Budget2023

The climate change news today is frightening. What's more frightening is our Federal Government is still opening new coal mines and subsidising fossil fuel companies. Labor has to do better. theage.com.au/environment/cl…

Dr Monique Ryan MP 100%! "In a roadmap to net zero emissions drawn up by the International Energy Agency, there should have been no new oil & gasfields approved for development from 2021. Instead, govts including US, UK and Australia have granted licences to drill for more." theguardian.com/science/2023/j…

The devastation in northern hemisphere is a deeply concerning sign of what may be in store for 🇦🇺 in this & future summers. We need leadership & bold action to protect the people & places we love. Yet 🇦🇺 govt keep approving new fossil fuel projects 🤯 abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…
