No, claims of a rise of conservatism among young men (compared with women) don’t ring true. New research shows youth gender gap is something we’ve seen across time.

Shutting down sustainable industry to protect a filthy one

Thank you for spreading the word on this appalling cult and its interference in our politics. This is a frightening corruption of our political system and the lives of its members.

Chilling #4corners on the sinister & way too powerful Plymouth Brethren secretive sect.
So how come they helped the LNP so prominently at the last election? Of course Abbott speaks for them & that little toady Greg Hunt already bought up.
Good that media & ATO investigating them…maybe police too?

And you wonder why we have such little trust in government…. My Clean Up Politics Act would regulate lobbyists’ activities, but I can’t clean up the Liberal Party - that’s over to you.

“Both of them.”

Labor's election commitment on housing is already crumbling. Core issue here is who buys homes - Greens want to provide housing for those who need it, not wealthy property investors. That won't happen til' we fix the unfair tax concessions that put first homes out of reach of everyday Australians.

In Australia I have had trouble logging in, now resolved, but cannot receive or send emails.

The terrors of toytown: Sydney quakes in the shadows of entertainment and gambling egos Sydneysiders should stop pretending they live in a serious city. It's run by the entertainment-gambling industrial complex, and it stinks.

Who — or what — really runs Sydney? A vast colossus of gambling, hospitality, media and sport. And it's rotten to the core, writes Bernard Keane.

Only just caught these arresting stats from @markgkenny on women in Libs;
- more women in Labor caucus than LNP members
- more women Independents than female Libs
- more women Greens than female Libs
So quotas & affirmative policies really are so unnecessary then!?!?

Universities aren’t pizza joints; stop treating them that way Policymakers must set aside the fiction that universities are just another industry that can generate its own funding and that academics can be turned into entrepreneurs.

University policy has been broken for 40 years. ‘Our policymakers must be brave enough to argue that education is unequivocally and intrinsically a public good, vital to the interests of the nation, and therefore worth funding properly.’ www.afr.com/policy/healt...

Independent Nicolette Boele ahead in Bradfield recount!

Hope so Zoe. Because of you and the Independents movement - many LNP "reps" are going to have to think about what their electorate wants more than their donors.

May be a very novel experience.

Hope to see you back in the seat in 2028.

Where is the right anything other than without intellect or talent?

Brilliant!

Annoying, as the article jumps back to the top, making reading a chore!

But it’s not enough that sensible countries voted against Trump & his callow clones.
We need centre/left to create a new positive narrative about society, internationalism & the environment to completely supplant RW populism, & address the real problems that give rise to it.
Dismantle neoliberalism!

He is dedicated and committed to transparency and honest government! A gift!

yo, protect this little
sister at ALL costs ✊🏽✨

Dutton “Labor has done a lot of damage to the economy”

IMF - just ranked Australia the 2nd best economy in the world.

Media: silent.

I am concerned the Electoral Commission has identified the person responsible for the 47,000 illegal pamphlets but will not tell the public who it is, or whether they will be prosecuted.
I have written to the AEC asking for an explanation.
The public has the right to know.

As I spend this weekend finalising an Information Commissioner submission to get public access to the full report of Ms Lynelle Briggs AO on Mr Pezzullo, I’m stunned to read that Mr Dutton thinks Pezzullo should be re-engaged in a public service national security role🤦‍♂️. #auspol

I remember only days after Gina shared her thoughts and values African mine workers organising to improve their pay and conditions were shot dead by mining company security services

#FFS

Hairs ... split hairs! 'Make small and unnecessary distinctions.
"this may seem like splitting hairs but the distinction could be important"'.

Sadly the AEC has advised it won’t be coming to BlueSky for this election which is a damned shame I say

Would you like to see the AEC here on BlueSky?

There’s a growing amount of misinformation about my voting record – and unfortunately, it's still legal to lie in political ads in Australia.
To protect voters, I’ve launched the Ethical Political Advertising Code – a voluntary initiative promoting honesty & integrity in election campaigns.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Vetting apparently not happening in Kooyong.

“Caitlin Tickell, from OUSU’s WomCam, stated, “It is right that Amelia Hamer has been sacked for the horrendous article written last term, which peddled rape myth after rape myth, and may well have compromised the anonymity of the women mentioned.”

Creative recycling to be able to take 4 legged friend on the bus after a day at the office!
Being able to take pets on public transport can save on 1000’s of what would otherwise be car trips/day.
Campaigners have long championed this sensible reform.
Bravo Louise & Bika

Next week will be the Parliament's last chance to spare voters from an onslaught of outright lies in political ads.

87% of Australians support truth in political advertising laws. Our Government should do its job.
