Scott Morrison has still got his snout in the trough.

#auspol

He's not a wannabe fascist anymore.

He's a real full-blown fascist now.

He controls the supreme court, the congress, the media.

It's okay for the ACTU to make a statement.

But I don't see the ACTU putting any real pressure on its political wing, the Labor Party, to actually implement a big flat tax on miners and fossil fuel companies.

We need to do something, but I don't see many people willing to change their lifestyles for this

Overfishing: They need to stop eating fish

Pollution: Vote for parties that'll subsidize organic farming, end fossil electricity

Habitat: Stop consuming meat & dairy that cause land clearing & methane

The Australian people need to be vigilant to protect our democracy too.

Our political parties want to chip away at our democracy and weaken it.

• Political donation changes to give the Duopoly more funding than independents

• Making freedom-of-information harder

• Jailing whistleblowers

#auspol

It's a prime example of how the Labor / Liberal Duopoly works together, as if it were a single party.

They're working together to stop newcomers (independents) from getting elected.

It's undemocratic.
It's thwarting the wishes of the Australian people.
It's corruption.

The next leader:

Richard Marles is one of the most disliked politicians in Australia. No chance.

Tony Burke has attached himself to the Antisemitism Envoy, defending her at every turn, with no apologies when he's proven wrong. Little chance.

That just leaves Jim Chalmers.

When nobody can trust the US government, it will sink their economy.

The USA is not a safe place to do business. It's not even a safe place to visit.

Which party did the corrupt MP belong?

Ha! Good observation 😁

Albo should resign now.

Being involved in lobbying while also being PM is a form of corruption.

But what if you need to see a specialist doctor?

Even for debilitating illnesses, people are given two choices:

1. Pay hundreds of dollars to see a specialist privately.

Or

2. Do it in the public system at hospital clinics and wait a year and a half, and suffer for that time.

There are three issues for Australia being entwined with the US military:

1. Being a military target

2. Being expected to commit war crimes (Hegseth said the US no longer adheres to the rules of war, ie Geneva Conventions)

2. Australia being drawn closer into the vortex of US autocracy.

From protest laws to deaths in custody, Minns’ rush to claim the conservative high ground is clumsy and costly At almost every opportunity, the NSW premier chooses a conservative path: get the cops on side and let nobody fault Labor’s toughness on crime. It’s not working

NSW Premier Chris Minns is a wannabe authoritarian dictator.

He's a Labor Premier trying to show he can be extremely right-wing, in an attempt to win over Liberal Party voters.

Labor taking a step to the right is a very bad idea. And it's not working.

The system NSW Labor Premier Chris Minns had set up was that the government could approve or deny any protest.

That is pure authoritarianism

The government has been denying permission for Palestine protests on the grounds that they are too big

But the whole point of a protest is a show of numbers

@jessicaperthwa.bsky.social

I point to Russia and China as examples of how religion is ruined under autocracy.

China controls the form of religion allowed. In Russia, the head of the orthodox church is basically a Putin puppet.

We need democracy to have free expression freedom of religion.

RFK Junior is a well-known drug addict.

His voice is raspy because of years of crack cocaine inhalation into the vocal chords.

And everyone who's met him says it's immediately apparent that he's mad.

Hopefully the H5N1 bird flu pandemic doesn't happen on his watch.

It really is a lobbying firm, posing as a sports club.

Companies pay big money for access to politicians, which is anti-democratic.

And Albanese is the ringleader of it, helping gambling companies lobby politicians.

It stinks to high heaven.

Albo waves his green Medicare card in the air, proclaiming free universal healthcare.

But if you try to see a specialist at a public hospital clinic, waiting lists are often a year and a half long.

That's not healthcare.
That's neglect.

#auspol

Yes, people should be able to practice their faith in peace.

But there won't be much freedom to practice faith if the country turns into an autocracy.

This NSW law was so wide-reaching that it would have allowed any protest about any issue to be shut down if there was a church in the same street.

In Australia, NSW has the most oppressive and undemocratic anti-protest laws.

The court struck down just one of these.

But the rest still remain.

The Minns Labor government is still trying to stop protests about subjects it doesn't like, eg Gaza genocide.

The crackdown is brutal and frightening.

The first step would be to stand up to the Labor / Liberal Party duopoly, who kowtow to foreign lobby groups.

It's truly shocking that the Labor Party is trying to stop democratic protest

It hasn't dawned on people how serious this is

At a time the LNP wants us to go US-style MAGA, it's dangerous that Labor stops protests it doesn't like

I call on everyone to vote for someone else if they value democracy

I don't think the democratic and lawful act of protesting is any easier under NSW Premier Chris Minns.

Yes, Linda Reynolds hired Bruce Lehmann.

Because he had all the qualities required to be a working member of the Liberal Party.

It's not just factory farming.
It's animal farming.
Eating animals is the biggest cause of environmental degradation.
It causes climate change.
It makes people fat.
It causes most of the chronic diseases in our society.

The Labor Party is doing nothing good for society.

You're breaking Labor's election promise to stop millionaires using superannuation as a tax dodge.

You're trying to destroy Australia's democracy by limiting FoI access, to shroud your government in secrecy.

No thanks.

Yep. Political donations corrupt democracy

Simple as that.

The unbelievable thing is:
Why do people vote for any political parties that want to continue the political donations system?

Answer:
Find a party or independent politician that pledges to get rid of political donations, and vote for them

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns cosies up to his idol, Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal.

Why doesn't the Labor Party try to strengthen our democracy, rather than turning us into a police state?
