Stoked to announce "Forget the Frontbench", my new column for Crikey in which I profile the players shaking up Australian politics. Things are changing in the seat of power, and the true seats of power may soon belong to those best able to listen. crikey.com.au/2024/05/30/for…

Nunggubuyu woman Selena Uibo is new leader of the Northern Territory Labor party with an almost entirely Indigenous caucus. Uibo is the first Indigenous woman to lead a major Australian political party #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Yes, yes you can comrade Elmo

Thank you.. 🙏

The trust is crazy

I’m simply a single-issue voter. My issue is to stop killing children. Vote Green. 🟢⚪️

Our new paper highlights the critical need to improve access to quality healthcare, addressing the social determinants and elevating the importance of the cultural determinants of health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Read paper: hubs.li/Q02Nlpt80

South Coast Labour Council just released a report on the exposure of Australian workers to war crimes in Gaza. The Albanese Government by hiding the extent of the two-way arms trade with Israel, is betraying workers who have a right to know what their labour is being used for.

Whoever takes the #NDIS portfolio over will have dead cripples on their watch under these new ‘reforms’. Poison chalice. #auspol Hope Bill enjoys France or wherever he’s being rewarded to go to.

Aaron Smith 2019 election crushed me. So many constructive policies that would have set us up to be in a much better position now. Just so sad. He would have been a great PM.

I feel quite sad by the announcement Bill Shorten is retiring from politics. He stood for things. He might have fallen just short. But he fell where he stood. Better to dare mighty things and fail than not dare at all.

While the ASRC doesn’t receive federal funding it's essential to our CLC colleagues who do, and who provide critical services to 10,000s across the country. Community legal centres are at breaking point & need guaranteed ongoing funding by December 2024: savecommunitylegalcentres.com

It’s a total myth that lethal levels of coral bleaching in 2024 have only occurred in the southern section of the Great Barrier Reef. For the 1st time, severe bleaching occurred throughout the Northern, Central and Southern regions. Only the Far North escaped this time.

Shorten will stay in the NDIS portfolio until February. So a bit more like a slowly moving rat deserting a sinking ship, one disabled person says. It’s SO much like the Titanic, isn’t it? Not enough lifeboats. 3rd class get to sink with the ship. What a time to be alive #auspol

Bill Shorten, 57, announcing his retirement from politics is concerning given he has been a chief campaigner against the unlawful, devastating Robodebt scheme that abused over 500,000 Australians. (Our latest in the saga, ICYMI:) theklaxon.com.au/nacc-boss-misl…

Greg Jericho Don’t blame him . He has worked tirelessly for the vulnerable in this country . He will be great asset to tertiary education . Where are the knives today about former MPs just being lobbyists for the mining industry ? Hope all critics remember where Bill was in Beaconsfield !

This coming from a Pediatrician Zionist Dr Monique Ryan MP who supports the cold blooded murder of tens of thousands innocent men, women & children - she supports genocide! Try & get your head around that fact & Guess where she sits? In the Australian Parliament! 👇👇👇👇👇👇

What a joke Bill Shorten reckons #robodebt victims got justice. They got screwed over twice. Many suicided. A refund of a bogus debt isn't justice. It is a farce. The NDIS is treating people in a similar manner. The #NACC is a failure. The appointment was corrupt. #auspol
