They can keep up the pressure in a newly elected Government which will have a greatly reduced minority

Tax-minimising lawyer to ferocious Greens warrior: how an elevator ride changed David Shoebridge’s life One Liberal calls him β€˜easily the most effective Green’ while an ex-minister says they shaped policy together. How did the former Labor member end up a heavy-hitting crossbencher?

I love #Eurovision but I've not watched the SBS telecast since Israel began its #GazaGenocide. Please support boycott.eurovision.au as they urge SBS to cut the mic on genocide. Here's the link to their petition on Change.org c.org/cVkHXqCyLx

β€œIt holds bountiful oil, gas, minerals & fish. And it promises to shorten global shipping routes”.

Well hallelujah, collapsing Arctic ice sheet will allow full-scale looting of one of world’s last remaining pristine landscapes.

Capitalism (and media) looks increasingly like a global death cult.

Australia refuses to repatriate citizens from Syrian camps despite US warning leaving them there β€˜compounds risk to all of us’ US offers to get Australians out of camps if they are issued with travel documents, but Labor has said β€˜this is not something the government is considering’

Labor is failing to meet even Scott Morrison’s moral benchmark here. He brought Australian children home.

Albanese is refusing to repatriate citizens from Syrian camps despite US warning leaving them there β€˜compounds risk to all of us.’ Utterly shameful. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If you doubt the power of an ethical crossbench, the Briggs report on ;jobs for mates' was created and released thanks to pressure from two Independents: Sophie Scamps and David Pocock. Scamps introduced a private members bill and Pocock kind of filibustered them into submission. #Auspol

With complete respect and admiration for the Socceroos, who I know are just working to represent and inspire our nation as best they can, I will not be watching a moment of the World Cup.

There is no resistance without sacrifice and the US must be resisted.

The national AI plan aims to position πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί as a major international data centre despite environmental concerns, framing renewable energy as a means of managing these impacts. The Australian Energy Market Operator expects data centres will consume 6% of energy going into the national grid by 2030

"Democracy thrives on a diet of high expectations and starves on a diet of cynicism." - Richard Dennis, "Dead Centre." This is my #Auspol philosophy. We can only evolve if we envision a future where new experiments in #Democracy yield better futures. Australia can do that with an ethical crossbench.

First whispers of discontent for Labor are coming from within Labor has the space to do what it wants – and what it wants, apparently, is to be the Liberal Party of the 1990s.

Nothing like a summer in the electorate to bring a dose of reality

The cruelty is unfathomable
The danger to the concept of citizenship is alarming
Penny Wong and the ALP government's inhumanity is a choice, also shown by Gaza and Nauru.
A culture of cruelty now extends to domestic policies NDIS, Jobseeker, Aged Care. Next?

Break up monopolies.
Rebuild unions.
A real living wage.
Stop investors hoarding homes.
Strengthen Medicare incl. dental.
Universal childcare.
Real climate action.
UBI.
Tax wealth.

This is how we make Australia liveable again. MPs should fight for it.
