Morrison's "economic reform" speech today doesn't mention wage stagnation, doesn't mention climate change, mentions household income just once and attacks "union super funds". Pure ideology. Be fascinating to see if mainstream journalists cover it accurately.

If News Corp shills think property rights should be overridden in the name of free speech, then I look forward to Australia's fascist broadcaster, Sky News, and the Liberal Party newsletters that masquerade as News Corp papers, being forced to carry left-wing content.

Morrison likes to think of himself as a great national leader at a time of crisis. Pro tip for #ScottyFromMarketing: I don’t think John Curtin spent WW2 taking cheap shots at State Premiers.

Hey Joe Hockey when are you going to apologise for and retract your claims of electoral fraud in Washington? Maybe you can explain why, in a country awash in Republican voter suppression efforts, you singled out Democrat voters in an African-American dominated city?

“Technology not Tax” eh? SA has decided to tax electric vehicles with Vic and NSW to follow and Morrison mocks EV targets and initiatives. Again we lag the world - Norway will be 100%new car sales by 2025 and even China 40% of total car sales by 2030

I can’t believe the hypocrisy of Coalition MPs talking about how much they care about “freedom of speech” when they want to ban the Eureka flag and union stickers on building sites.

Parliament should have ready access to the best info on and advice that science can offer. That is why there should be a Parli Office of Sci. The Gov should stop trying to control access to scientific advice & info. Neither the Gov nor Parliament should fear science.

Every Canberra district deserves Light Rail in their lifetimes. It's not good enough to tell Tuggeranong, Belconnen and Quenbeyan that Light Rail might arrive in a generation or two. Let's start a continuous build and get it done.

In Australia, as elsewhere in the world, the incineration industry is making a big play to take up more plastics being recovered.  “That's not a circular economy and it's not recycling,” says Boomerang Alliance’s Jeff Angel. satpa.pe/redcy37536

Yet another weekend where I'm chuffed to see so many people on multiple bus routes and light rail, and yet another weekend where I'm wondering why this high demand isn't resulting in better service frequency on Sat and Sun. Give the people of Canberra what they want! 🚍🚈⏱️

There's a report out proposing alternatives to Light Rail to Woden. Unfortunately, it's not much more than a mish-mash of mistruths and half-baked proposals. While our Mythbusters series will have more detail, there are some particularly shonky claims 🧵 canberratimes.com.au/story/8530133/…

After being told University of Canberra staff need to tighten their belts during bargaining, a $1.78 million remuneration package for the previous Vice Chancellor is shocking. More shocking still is the complete lack of transparency or accountability for it. Was it a payout? If so, why?
