Home Affairs Sec Stephanie Foster insists refugees in Nauru detention are β€œnot being held”
But turns out they are still surrounded by wired prison fencing & they can’t say whether they are being monitored by a guard.
Sounds like they are being Held to me. #Estimates

Lisa Wilkinson has also challenged parts of the original judgment, the outcome of which is far less predictable than the outcome of Bruce’s appeal…

Just guessing, there won't be any answers and zero accountability. If Mark Dreyfus had set out to design a #NACC that was deliberately evasive, opaque, mysterious, and ineffectual, with an ever-present whiff of imminent scandal, he could only have come up the one we actually got. #NACCfolly

As part of #16DaysOfActivism it’s my job as a man to remind all men that male violence against women is a men’s issue

To say it’s a women’s issue is to blame women for our violence as men

We collectively are the root cause and the root solution to ending it.

Let’s get to work

Yeah Nah .
The Teals support a 15% GST and Chaney supports the live sheep trade . They are old Liberals with a conscience on climate change . Iffy on IR Ryan is the best of them
They are very good at throwing stones and telling us what’s wrong .

We are meant to believe the NACC is still trying to establish if somebody should be held to account on #Robodebt.
They are now preparing for their Xmas time-off while victims and their families have to see off yet another year without justice. I’ll be thinking of them this Xmas.

It turns out the private companies contracted to improve the $92 million BOM website were Accenture and Deloitte. I hope this proves once and for all that private companies are ALWAYS more expensive than the government. What a total rip-off. πŸ‘Ž
