According to Segal the “concerns of the Jewish community” outweigh actual factual evidence. It’s their “thoughts” & “feelings” that she reports on We’re paying $1,070 a day for this bullshit $5,350 a week. And that’s just for her, her staff, travel etc not included $1000 for bullshit #auspol

Shoebridge rips into Jillian Segal over her false claims at the antisemitism RC on the Gaza death toll & asks what she has to say now that the UN has called her out Segal says her role is to give views of the Jewish community Shoebridge “Your role is to give truthful evidence”💥

I WOULD VOTE FOR THIS. Get your act together @australianlabor.bsky.social . Stop trying to save $$s by cutting services to the elderly, disabled and most vulnerable and start taxing the people and companies who have been profiting off us for YEARS without giving back anything. #auspol

The Point@thepointau.bsky.social

Shoebridge says the Greens would impose a tax on gas exports to raise an estimated $17 billion a year, and introduce a market-linked resource rent tax on the mining sector to raise a further $28 billion. Read the full piece on The Point: https://sbrew.link/y6Bvso3M

David Shoebridge is on fire at the NPC, rejects claim The Greens are not near the “sensible centre” just coz they don’t bash migrants & oppose Israel’s genocide, “I reject any correlation b/w that & what we’ve been doing…to call out a genocide & say kids should not be killed”💥

I fear people will lurch ON because no alternative is being prosecuted, while the MSM and social media push the billionaire agenda very loudly. You'd think Albania, France, Slovakia and Brazil would encourage some grass-roots organising.

person on centrelink misses an appointment : PAYMENT CANCELLED secretary of a department oversees unlawful acts: $900k PAYOUT …NOW LAY LOW FOR A BIT UNTIL WE CAN GIVE YOU ANOTHER GOVT OR INDUSTRY JOB

Antipoverty Centre@antipovertycentre.org

It's ridiculous that someone was paid nearly $900k for being fired, but even more outrageous that the Albanese government refuses to say why they abruptly terminated a Secretary when there were hundreds of thousands of unlawful payment cancellations.

Every Australian deserves to share in the wealth that comes from our own resources. The Greens will make big corporations pay up so you can keep more money in your pocket. Whether your income comes from a wage or a social security payment, you’ll benefit from our plan. 1/2

No one should have to choose between the life they’ve built here in Australia and the parents they left behind. The Greens are fighting for a system that lets families have both. Because of a go-slow on processing by Govt a parent visa today means waiting 18 to up to 42 years.

It's unfathomable that high-bonnet vehicles pay the same rego and insurance as normal cars but are far more deadly. It's almost like someone has lobbied the government to push heavy, dangerous and highly polluting vehicle sales . . .

This is obscene. It's always the people most marginalised & in need of support who government seeks to claw back budget savings from. How about cut defence spending fewer people need to flee their homes in the first place & provide meaningful support so refugees can feel safe & live a decent life.

Zionist have a dark history of hiding behind religion. The Jewish people were the first to be against Zionism, for a good reason. Committing genocide to expand to the greater Zion Project. It's an open conversation in Israel. Can anyone in parliament just read the Israeli papers? They're online.

The antisemitism envoy told the Royal Commission that Gaza’s death toll was “grossly inflated” and that the UN accepted this. The UN said otherwise. When I asked she said she “notes” the UN’s views.

When public servants give evidence in a public hearing, about jobs that the public pays them to do, their answers should be direct, unambiguous, and detailed. That is the contract between the public and government. Any suggestion otherwise goes against that agreement.
