Daniel Andrews, VIC Premier led the way at beginning of Covid. Lived in QLD and listened to him every day. He was a reassuring voice, who stood up to Scott Morrison who was deliberately undermining State Premiers every step of the way.

Yes he did. Albanese is arguably worse than Morrison. He has built on LNP moves to tear down every democratic government and every institution in Australia, courtesy of Jillian Segal’s appointment as antisemitic envoy, putting into place a silent dud #NACC, approvals of fossil fuel expansions etc.

Andrews gov handling of Covid was praised by epidemiologists around the world as it saved countless lives Morrison gov, who let Covid spread via Ruby Princess debacle & failed to order enough vaccines, took AUS debt to over 900 billion…leaving AUS with worst debt since WW2 What’s your point, HS?

That is the big question. Why has Anthony Albanese appointed Jillian Segal? Appointment Israel Zionist to enforce mandatory Zionism across Australian society smacks of occupation. “Rinehart said land be provided to skilled Israelis and their families..” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Albanese appointed Jillian Segal. Like other MP’s Albanese has been groomed and captured by the Israel Zionist despot government. Why are they enforcing Zionism across 3 levels of Australian governments, institutions and society across Australia? michaelwest.com.au/the-enforcem...

Segal has admitted, after Shoebridge got it out of her, that she has put in a submission for the Duty of Care legislation seeking to add provisions to limit the reach of anonymous accounts on social media (among other things).

Shoebridge also revealed that the CEO of CAM Sacha Roytman “previously headed the IDF social media unit” He also asked why she is the co-host, which she denied Shoebridge then asks why she’s listed as co-host on their website, to which she says she’ll take it on notice to check

David Shoebridge calls out Jillian Segal after she admits she failed due diligence with CAM—hosts of the antisemitism summit she’s speaking at—as Shoebridge reveals CAM awarded a racist US Republican who called for Gaza to "overflow with blood” Who is she partnering with? 🚩

Why have we got someone who obviously is working for Israel anywhere near our government….get rid of this Zionist Australians don’t need or want..

An immediate reaction is to say the Albanese government has learned nothing from #robodebt. But perhaps they have learned only too well how to punch down on welfare recipients with onerous, cruel and illegal conditions. #poverty #inequality #RaiseTheRate #auspol

Antipoverty Centre@antipovertycentre.org

Why does the government insist on trying to recover blood from a stone? If they want to aggressively recover so-called debts from people who've relied on Centrelink payments, they should at least wait until they can actually afford to live. @kristin8x.antipovertycentre.org on the latest debt BS

We keep telling the government - we don't want automated robo-debt, or data centres everywhere, or aged-care assessment by algorithm, or non-professional NDIS decisions. Employ real people. Pay real wages. Fix hospitals & schools. Tax the squillionaires & giant companies. Can't be any clearer.

Penny Allman-Payne@pennyallmanpayne.com

Older people have been saying this for months. Labor's automation of aged care assessments has been a disaster, under-assessing need and priority, denying care and driving up waitlists. It's past time to bin the whole thing and put humans back in charge of decision-making.

Got the letter from MyAgedCare advising assessment would be “in 2-6 weeks”. Coordinator trying to help us navigate this 💩 show told us assessment and approval for services is actually around 2 mths+. Approvals for funding packages at least 9 mths+. EPIC FAIL

I’ve just previewed a film by Bill Banowsky called “Pat Oliphant - A Savage Art”, about the Australian political cartoonist and artist who moved to the US in the 50s to make his career. A terrific film which reminds us that we need fearless, sharp dissenters and truth tellers.

Recently, there was quite a furore in Australia's parliament about invasive species management. It seemed to me there was some misunderstanding about terminology & the very important reasons for controlling some introduced & invasive species. So, I wrote this 👉 theconversation.com/calling-spec...

theconversation.comCalling species ‘invasive’ – and culling them – isn’t done lightly. But it matters to Australia’s threatened speciesInvasive species only want to live. But their success can come at great cost to native species. If we treat them the same, native animals lose.

Over 294,250 families in Gaza don't have any sort of shelter that can protect them from winter storms. Available shelter supplies can reach just 18% of those in need, as the Israeli government is currently blocking 8,600 emergency shelter kits from entering Gaza.

This is a great episode from @janfran.bsky.social , pulling apart the PM’s “turning the temperature down” bullshit while we are gaslit about who is actually turning the temperature up. Including himself, grinning in selfies with the world’s inflamer-in-chief.

Rep. Jamie Raskin on what Democrats will do FIRST if they take back Congress: “First you got to put out the fire that's still going. People are still in danger.” “Millions of people have been thrown off of their health care, their Medicaid, their ACA tax credits. We got to restore all of that.”

My hope was in giving nicknames to the two main strategies that license fascistic crime by Israel (and oil, land theft), people might better be able to see them in action? What do you think?
