‘Vast overreach’: police allowed to conduct warrantless pat-downs of people across inner Melbourne for six months Search powers, usually reserved for protests, will be in effect in the CBD and beyond in a move criticised by human rights groups

I don't even know what to say about this 🤬🤬🤬

Yeah, good point 😠

It's really quite the contrast... wtf is going on in NSW???

Rallying in Fitzroy earlier this afternoon to save the Cohealth community medical clinics. Thanks to everyone who made it along despite the rain! ✊ ☔ ❤️

health workers and the community will occupy the cohealth clinics until Labor agrees to fund them. Labor is playing a dangerous game of chicken with the cohealth board. They're playing with the lives of 12,500 working class people. 1/2

Come to the rally to save Cohealth - 142 Johnston St, Fitzroy

Albo is a false and misleading claim

Australia Institute Live — Daily Updates Stay updated with the latest from The Australia Institute.

Today we learned of a shocking amendment to the income apportionment bill that involves police in social security decisions.

We're joining the call for Labor to abandon police powers to stop Centrelink payments.

Why is @amyremeikis.bsky.social is the only one in the press gallery covering this?

I know what you mean!! I've always been suss of Murdoch, commercial news etc, but I used to trust the ABC and now even that's gone...
I mainly consume independent media now cos I like my news with some integrity...

Our legacy media is largely a joke now that does very little to inform us...

Yes the difference between the two parties is Coalition hate vs Labor indifference towards the plight of those who have no choice but to rely on welfare.

Wow, there's some shitstains on humanity right there

I daresay the lawyers would have to go through it all too... Alot of very powerful men... in powerful positions
But I definitely agree they need to be named, held accountable etc... The victim survivors need acknowledgement and Justice

Cosying up to a fascist authoritarian regime that disappears people... Love that for us... /s

The community health centre in my area is closing GP services at 3 of its sites (Cohealth) in December which is absolutely devastating

This is fucking devastating

These are adorable!!!

Legacy media has generally been pretty bad at covering what is going on in the US and how they are devolving into a fascist, authoritarian regime. This is important considering our so called 'shared values' and aukus. This will be interesting

Definitely. I know you've really got your head around this stuff (more than I do!) but I'm concerned at the way 'for profit' sneaks in and suddenly it isn't about strictly providing a service to fulfil a need .. like what's happening in aged care, NDIS etc.... I'm very very suss about it!!!

I was listening to Doug Cameron speak about housing and public housing recently through the Australian institute (? I have alot of brain fog) and he made so much sense.... I just fear that by not addressing inequality and housing we are heading down a similar path as the US, UK etc...

It just feels this is where our governments want to be, moving away from providing public housing... Community housing already charges more so of course for profit organisations want in... I can't say I'm surprised
(I'll go yell into the void now)

This is disgusting. These are not good times, and I'm really very concerned that we are heading down a similar path to the US

Yes. Exactly

Legacy media don't cover the half of what's going on in the US... It is so dire right now, I really hope Australia isn't aspiring to share the values of the current US regime...

Ah yes, our ally with whom we have "shared values"... as the US decends into an authoritarian and fascist regime🤬🤬🤬

This is beyond f*cking ridiculous... So this is where we are now ffs

Isn't it great that Labor got such a large majority in parliament so they could act decisively on the climate crisis that they once claimed to care about 🙄🤬 /s

Sewer rat is still in custody over "other matters", so no goose stepping from it tomorrow
