'When Labor dropped its proposed reforms to negative gearing and capital gains tax they were panicked out of what most respectable economists consider good policy.' Mike Seccombe on how the government can lead the nation out of this housing crisis. #auspol satpa.pe/GRH7G57

It shouldn’t need to be said but there’s nothing progressive about trying to score political points by speculation about the religion or ethnicity of a murderer.

“When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occassions, he’s like the 12-year old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero!’ It’s really creepy.”

But don’t let the facts hold you back.

Why do these racist anti-Muslim anti-Palestinian bigots never appear on Twitter condemning violence when it's a white man murdering his estranged wife and kids?! Oh, right. ... the racism and hypocrisy. 😠 #BondiJunction

Instead of taking a moment to grieve the senseless loss of innocent lives in a busy shopping centre, there a lot of people with blue ticks and flags in their usernames saying heinous, hateful things on here.
Using tragedy as an excuse to fan bigotry.

Hanging about with some legends at #Sunbury50th today. Matt Taylor, Jeff Duff, Margret RoadKnight (here with Clare Moore who played drums for her) Bob Starkies Skyhooks set was quite brilliant. Mike Rudd as well. Didn’t see everything but all the acts I saw sounded great!

Thanks to Friends of the Earth for getting the upcoming calendar for next week out early due to the #a15actions happening on Monday and a very busy week of protests and actions in support of a Free Palestine in Naarm / Melbourne and regional Victoria!

The reason anti-trans campaigners are doomed to a lifetime of disappointment is very obvious:

Trans people won’t stop existing - quite the opposite - and nor will people determined to affirm them and support their happiness and security.

State sanctioned murder by militias driven by racism and religion.

There’s a name for this.

Remember Jeremy Rockliff and Tasmanian Liberals promises of “transparency”? That’s until they turn on each other and “The Liberal Party does not comment on internal matters”. #politas

Josh Duggan Corinthian Speeriakus Jacqui Lambie Network Less @lambienetwork more Lambienitwits eh Jacqui Lambie? Now you have some influence you have no clue what to do with it. #politas

Terrifying.

Further to this- I’ve requested an interview multiple times with the Jacqui Lambie Network in recent days, and nobody’s been available. It would be good if the party waving the “transparency and accountability” flag was willing to answer questions #politas

Resigning from Science Based Target Initiative, Stephan Singer wrote carbon credits are “scientifically, socially and from a climate perspective a hoax” and could provide a “survival floor for fossil fuel companies’ super-large scope-3 [value chain emissions]’ Chris Bowen #auspol

This is worth your time. If you haven't yet signed this petition to end the Australian the $917m contract with Elbit Systems, pls do. A company enabling and profiting from the #GenocideOfPalestinians

Quite often I think, I’m over this. Then I remember the kids and community I am working for , and keep going. It’s important that everyone remembers the effort and commitment involved in public school teaching. Just sometimes we need a Freddo frog in appreciation! Prue Car MP 🤣

the aec is responding to this saying its legal but holy shit this shouldnt be legal for any party to do what the hell?
