The policy of balance has not worked; we should never give commercial vested interests and narrow self-interest equal weight. Scientific and academic economics must lead the conversation, and dissenters should be required to present well-reasoned arguments.

Meaningful work, activity, or recreationβ€”whatever you choose to call itβ€”is important in everyone’s life. Regardless of ability, disability, or individual talent, having a sense of purpose is a fundamental human need and a vital part of our quality of life.

Terrorism US ICE.. What does terrorism look like? People being abducted by armed men, without uniforms, warrants, identification, in unmarked cars and then being deported without due legal processes.

Look at what the LNP did when in government: 10 years of nothing on climate mitigation, funding corporations billions on carbon capture nonsense. Making the poor, unemployed, and aboriginal a crime. Dumping down public service, outsourcing to consultancy. Dutton doesn't like you and will do more.
