The ombudsman agreed that the government failed to learn the lessons of #robodebt.
But it's the opposite.
For #agedcare, #NDIS, #jobseeker payments & employment services, the Albanese govt has learned precisely how to apply cruel, arbitrary & dehumanizing policies to the most vulnerable. #auspol
Sunday Shot is back this morning with me, Jo Dyer, editor of Deepcut News Antoun Issa, and founder of Cheek Media and indie candidate for Grayndler Hannah Ferguson. Starts at 9am on YouTube if you wanna hop in the live chat.
"Based on One Nation's planned immigration levels, by the middle of next decade Australia would have 820,000 fewer people in paid employment, impacting tax revenue" and adding $275b to the national debt.

As Senate has rejected cut in subsidies for #PrivateHealthInsurance I recommend that #MarkButler nationalise it & cut out all monopolies that plunder the #health system. We can have affordable premiums where no one needs subsidy. Its time for a health revolution.
Problem with #PrivateHealthInsurance is it is run by non-govt entities who make commercial deals with #hospitals that limit choices & add cost. We need new govt entity separate from #Medicare that will be more broadly based and enable more of us to join and pay affordable premiums.

Zionism is NOT Judaism.
Opposing Zionism is not antisemitism.
Criticising Israel is NOT antisemitism. #auspol#FreePalestinec.org/5mJWQnkPQL

Have never fully understood Albaneseβs red hot hatred of the Greens. Itβs palpable and vindictive.
When Tasmanian Labor Party refused point blank to form a minority government with the Greens and pushed LNP to form government instead it was mind blowing.
Now VIC Labor is doing same?????

Nobody believes Albanese PM of Australia anymore. His words donβt ring true.
His actions over last 7 years, as leader of the Labor Party, have painted a picture of Party, elected MPβs owned by oligarchs, corporations and 2 foreign powers.
Thatβs hard to ignore. #auspol
Tasmania Labor set the precedent here. They refused to form a minority government with the Greens and just handed Tasmanian govt to LNP.
Victorian Labor government have stated they will not form a minority government with the Greens also.
Do they intend to hand over minority govt to LNP/ON?

Bathlaβs collapse is why Australia needs a public developer - not private developers profiteering off a housing crisis. Bathla owes over $3.4 billion to creditors, subcontractors & suppliers, with 14,000 homes in the pipeline. Hundreds of jobs lost. Peopleβs entire savings are on the line.
Tony Burke chastises Angus Taylor for staying silent on shocking revelations that Liberal-supporting Brethren Church members paid far-right actors & neo-Nazis to stalk and intimidate during elections.

Defending the AUKUS disaster that locks us into the control of the US military industrial complex is dangerous and the antithesis of sovereignty or independence. Capitulation to the US arms industry will leave us less secure or independent.
Three Major Revelations About The Gaza Holocaust In The Israeli Press
The world was lied to about the Gaza holocaust, just like it was lied to about every other act of mass military slaughter that the US involves itself in.

As the nation starts to question AUKUS we can expect more speeches like Ruddβs defending the indefensible.No mention of engaging in serious diplomacy, no mention of the fact that the US could not defeat the Taliban, Vietnam, Iraq or Iran.The US cannot defeat China!
Return to the "Vote 1" election campaigns. Despite the warnings, Queensland Premier David Crisafulli will return the state to optional preferential voting (OPV) ahead of election 2028. #qldpol
