THREAD: It’s devastating to contemplate Virginia Giuffre is the second Epstein victim to die long before her time. I’ve known & told the stories of many victims of powerful abusers who died young. We don’t talk about this enough. Suicides, drug overdoses, deaths associated with alcoholism.

Never forget robodebt; never forget their neglect of older Australians in care; never forget how they left our military veterans out in the cold. Now their sales pitch to Australia is, literally, let’s go back. #Auspol

Another reminder that you should be strongly boycotting Melbourne Storm matches, merch and any other money-making activities they’re part of and if you’re already a member you should be cancelling it and loudly telling the club why.

Thanks for the reminder @anthonyklan.bsky.social.

The Coalition’s campaign has now become synonymous with fiasco 'Flip flopping' appears to have been the guiding principle for how the Coalition has handled this election campaign.

Bugger the debate - just read @amyremeikis.bsky.social’s weekly column instead

Labor will create 1800 MEDICARE, a 24/7 free telehealth service.

Whether it’s a midnight cough, a sudden fever, or a question that just can’t wait, support will always be there.

Free health advice, one call away.

With Labor's new 1800 Medicare service, free healthcare will be one call away.

This election is a clear choice. Between Labor's plan to build and the Liberals' promise to cut.

Did my postal vote last week. The QLD Senate ballot paper is longer than my dining table. 18 parties above the line, and I reckon at least 10 of them are rancorous, bigoted far right swine: slightly right of Mussolini. So it made filling out the ballot paper quite easy!

Weird move for the LNP to use a nurse (fake or otherwise) in their ads, given that aged care nurses have received a 25%+ pay rise under the current government.

A pay rise that they'd still be waiting for if the LNP were in power.

I can’t believe that because Nazis booed at the Welcome to Country, the discussion is now about whether Welcome to Countries have a place at all and if they’re “overdone”?

Are you kidding me?!

Dear alternative Prime Minister Peter Dutton: Neither the ABC nor Guardian Australia is “the hate media” as you assert. This is an egregious smear/incitement. A robust liberal democracy needs a free and questioning media. By misrepresenting ABC/Guardian you expose your illiberalism.

With his Trumpian outburst today against the ABC and The Guardian as “hate media”, Dutton has finlay cracked under the election campaign pressure.

He’s hidden for 3 years behind Sky, 2GB and any other RW media outlet that won’t challenge him.

Albo has thrown out the bait and Dutton has snapped!

Cyclone Alfred and the real cost of Dutton’s public service cuts The involvement of the public service in the aftermath of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred underscores the reality of the Coalition’s promise to cut 36,000 people from government departments.

The 'no cuts to frontline services' shibboleth is such a furphy. When Dutton says he wants to cut (or let wither) 36,000 jobs from the public service, everything is affected. The response post ex-cyclone Alfred proves how vital the work of the APS is www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environ...
