For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.

There are reports Labor may adopt the Greens 'GP for free' plan tomorrow!

I hope they do: it will make a huge difference for people struggling to afford healthcare.

Pressure works.

This is what voting Greens delivers: we keep Dutton out and get Labor to act.

Me looking at the screenshot thinking it was a Severance joke like the reply was the outie 🙃 Severance is really good, it may have broken my brain a little

Can someone watching these things start an “Has Albo called the election yet?” Bluesky account pls ty

Congratulations on reaching the point where crimes against humanity are now inside the Overton window.

Well done journalism. You really did your job well. So fearless. Sleep well. (I mean, you have been asleep for decades now so that won't be an issue).

Incredible. How long before Labor to gut DEI to neutralise that as a Dutton attack? Paving the way for him one step at a time.

TOMORROW MORNING: Join parents of trans kids to stand against unprecedented attacks on our healthcare.
Bring noise making tools, flags and signs.

yikes, unfollowing him now. I was a big fan of his marmalade sandwich eating and duffel coat wearing, I had no idea he accidentally flooded 32 Windsor Gardens trying to take a bath

As we collectively hold our breath, it is crucial to remember that we have a duty to hold Israel and all those complicit in its war crimes accountable.

The work continues. Justice must prevail.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I hope that the ceasefire brings reprieve to Palestinians who have been living under the torment of Israel’s genocidal regime. There must be an end to the genocide, occupation and apartheid.

Lifeline Bookfest opens Saturday. My plan: arrive when they open, printed a copy of my StoryGraph to-read list (those books I don’t own yet). N95 mask ready to deploy. As yet undecided on what carry bag to take. Haven’t been in a few years so keen for tips!

Our plan for public schools announced today includes all schools receiving 100% of funding which can cover adequate staffing (by Dept of Education costings), funding for critical infrastructure upgrades, and healthy learning conditions with clean air in every classroom and shared indoors space.

Bandt says Labor-Greens power share would bring ‘golden era’ and confirms goal is to stop Dutton Exclusive: Greens leader also says two parties have a chance to stop a US-style shift to the political right in Australia

Good stuff for teachers in this announcement from @pennyallmanpayne.com !!

Albanese government approves four coalmine expansions as Greens condemn ‘despicable’ move Tanya Plibersek says projects in NSW and Queensland produce coal for making essential steel as critics say move ‘opposite of climate action’

Merry Christmas from the government everyone.

Approving 4 coal mine expansions merely minutes after the environment minister tweeted labor approved 0 new coal mines this year is wild.

The planet doesn’t care about semantics and fancy accounting tricks. New coal is new coal.

Fixed it.

Your regular reminder that nuclear energy is a non-starter. Regional Australians don't want a reactor in their backyard, and there's no business case for nuclear in this country.

What people want is renewable energy. Enough distractions, let's just get on with building it!
