Truth 👇

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Perfect 👇

New Greens leader David Shoebridge will address the National Press Club, proposing a new tax cut and a welfare boost and declaring he will pursue "rivers of gold" from the resources sector.

colonial law does not solve social problems. We are told that criminal law can stop racism, for example. Ridiculous. Police forces - criminal law enforcement - are among the most dangerous and lethally violent racist institutions ever established. With actual guns. But. Administrative law?

so no, we will not see immediate change. Your money and mine still pays the wages of people who directly traumatise criminalised girls and funds expensive schools where tomorrow’s executives - who authorise and defend state violence - are schooled. But this bill, if passed, has long term efficacy.
