Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Great cartoon

Good for you. No one should have to work in a toxic workplace.

Spot on 🤣🤣🤣

Good

Good thread

“Whoever says the NACC hasn’t exposed any real corruption is lying. The NACC has exposed plenty of corruption, and it’s all inhouse corruption at the NACC.”

I find the words from Attorney-General Michelle Rowland, conflating her religious beliefs with her role as Australia's Attorney-General, to be dangerous, disturbing, shallow and ignorant. #auspol #auslaw #religion

And the Labor party has always been full of Catholics.

Good grief! What happened to the separation of church and state?

YouTube video by Antipoverty Centre Radio interview on move to give police and ministers new power to cancel Centrelink payments

6PR talkback radio listeners are having none of it – they say allowing police & ministers to cut Centrelink payments before conviction is "hypocritical", "the government can't arbitrarily impose punishments on people" and that "this is the thin end of the wedge".

Full interview:

Male resentment is driving right-wing populism. It will always default to a war on women The determination of anti-abortion MPs to talk about curtailing access to abortion reflects something fundamental to right-wing populism.

A group of men …. using the unimaginable grief of parents over their lost children to once again peddle the fiction of “late-term abortions” is only the latest example of the willingness of right-wingers to attack women’s rights, no matter what the political cost.

Come on guys- 34 reposts won’t save this sweet baby girl from being killed ! I am begging for massive reposts for her.

Generative AI being 'wrong' in the information it produces, and being unethical in how it steals human labor are both overlapping issues and it's important to show a bit of damn solidarity even if you're not a scientist, or information worker, or a writer, or an artist, or a photographer

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I should say when I worked there back in the good old days when we raised debts manually and in accordance with the act.

This is something that has always been able to be done. Contact a client via mail or whatever, make an appointment for them to come in (for a good reason), if they don’t attend you suspend their payment until they make contact.

But our house prices don’t compare.

And the LNP try to bring to Australia……

Two growing tax loopholes that are exploited by the rich – and how to plug the leaks Those on million-dollar incomes should not be able to manipulate the tax system to avoid paying their fair share.

Compared to what? Profit? Big business with endless layers of management? Maybe they should all be running a bit leaner at the top rather than the bottom.
They’ve never been forced to be competitive, just moan to the LNP.

I’ve always maintained that the housing crisis has been caused by low wages that haven’t moved with the price of houses.
For that I squarely blame the LNP for deliberately keeping wages low as a policy position in their years in government.
The blame lays with them.

The @thesaturdaypaper.com.au going full hagiography on Don Farrell. No whisper of criticism.

Maybe Farrell HAS entrenched Labor in govt, but what's the POINT if they won't make necessary change happen?

#JobSeeker still at beggar rates.

He's helped turn Labor into the Liberals.

What a legacy.

Throw dog biscuits over the fence

A kindness that will always be remembered.. 🎃

Priorities.

Is that a low or high bar?

This Day in History...

October 28, 1886: The Statue of Liberty is dedicated in New York Harbor by President Grover Cleveland.

Notably absent from Cleveland's remarks were references to "shithole countries", "migrant crime" and immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country."

There’s no excuse for the Federal Government’s refusal to ban gambling adverting. Shameful that they don’t care about the harm of gambling addiction, and are scared stiff of the gambling & media companies and of the AFL & NRL #auspol #politas
