We can never have #UBI, until we get rid of the uniparty clowns who have squandering our recourves, giving it away tax free.
Where is our Sovereign wealth fund?
They can't even do simple stuff like roll back #CGT #NG to make homes affordable to young people

It would be good if our #auspol leadership could better communicate this and then explain when the Hormuz blockade will completely cease shipments from those other impacted sources - if it hasn't already - and what that will leave us with.
Seems to be the pattern…

Where can we project this and play on a loop? Outside The Lodge? Loudly 24hrs a day, psyops style?

I know almost nothing, but am lucky enough to know people who do know things
We've shut down the busiest pedestrian intersection in Naarm/Melbourne because our government invited a genocidal war criminal to our country
While coal and gas companies are making millions in profits from burning fossil fuels, it's our communities footing the bill for climate disasters.

Australia is the most expensive place to send a kid to high school in the developed world! 🤯

WTF is going on @albomp.bsky.social ? Are you so beholden to vested interests that you no longer have a moral compass. FFS take a step and do something that says you have the fortitude to stand up to the bullies. You are no longer even close to representing my Labor values #auspol
Imagine a government whose actions show their priority was the people they were elected to represent.
‘you have to wonder – who are they governing for, and why? And if it’s only for the most vocal minorities, if it’s only those who whinge and win, then why pretend it is anything else?

Lure him here so you can arrest him and hand him over to the UN. Clever trick 💁
Ok I’ll confess. My politician crush is Mark Carney. Can you imagine Albo doing this? Neither can I. #auspol.

Albo is hedging that Trump will be gone soon and things will turn back to normal over there. Only time will tell I suppose.
1. Coalition claim Labor isn’t doing enough against Antisemetism despite not doing anything themselves
2. Coalition claim Labor is taking too long and demand new laws be rushed
3. Coalition change their mind and complain it’s been rushed
4. Coalition split over laws they demand be rushed #auspol
