“I am buoyed by the upswell of activity for yes across the nation. We are almost at 20,000 volunteers and the numbers are rising rapidly, by the day.” Read my latest opinion piece in the @GuardianAus. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“The #robodebt inquiry revealed that some compliant journalists allowed themselves to become propagandists for the government.” Peter Greste on the need for a Media Freedom Act: #auspol satpa.pe/MO2J6ik

We need a robust public sector that is not caught in conflicts of interest. “There is a clear conflict of interest between advising government on health impacts of climate change & the public interest, while concurrently advising the fossil fuel industry” theguardian.com/business/2023/…

I’ll say it again: there are no good faith arguments against the Voice. None. The only way to argue against Voice is to misrepresent where it came from, what it can do, the support it has from Aboriginal community, and the consequences it will have. Yet to be proved wrong on this

Peter Hartcher @smh nails it The web of investigations and recriminations over the conduct of the former Coalition government is about to expand. And while they’ve mostly centred on Scott Morrison to date, the next inquiry will put Peter Dutton under scrutiny.

She was told she was bad, they locked her away. They tried to reabilitate her, they only ignited her. They labelled her a fallen woman, she rose up. She wasnt a rebel,she was a shining light. They called her a liar, she was a truth teller. They tried to silence her, she came out in their attire. She was no coward, she was so,so, brave. She didnt just cry, she screamed. And the whole world took notice. Sinead O'Connor shone a light into the darkest of corners. It has been said that she wore the anguish of victims and survivors of clergy abuse all over the world. She was a tender soul who carried so much passion and courage. To do what she did on that stage ripping up a photo of Pope John Paul II, in protest against sex abuse in the church made her one of the bravest woman I have ever known. And the war will carry on. And we know we will win, cause we are confident in the victory of good over evil.Good over evil. Good over evil..

We as a species are capable of moments of truly haunting beauty. 💚 ☘️ 💚

Nothing Compares 2 U. Heart broken hearing the news of the passing of Sinéad O’Connor, such an inspiration

What’s happening?? Peta’s little mate Tony is telling lies. Again. Again. Again. #VoteYes Protest the disgusting propaganda. Speak up for integrity. abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

You don’t even have to make a movie for us to dream about that…

Anyone else had a gut full of this parasite running the country? He's been a blight on humanity for decades. He was even instrumental in bringing down Gough Whitlam. Now he's flat out spreading lies and misinformation about THE VOICE. #VoteYesAustralia

@slsandpet @noplaceforsheep Clever..

#ThisIsNotJournalism After the many ' I'm a respected journalist , look at moi' pressers that Dan Andrews and PM Albanese have had to endure over the past few weeks I'd think it's high time that before asking a question journalists state their name and the media they work for .

How the fuck do we live in a country where one of the main witnesses in a serious corruption case gets to just run away overseas permanently and nobody from the LNP or most of the media seem to give a shit about the terminally outrageous and disgusting implications of this? #NewsCorpse

It’s so reassuring to live in a state that is led by a sensible leader, overwhelmingly endorsed by the people, rather than one manufactured by the Murdoch/msm PR departments

If you’re like me and you don’t watch #QandA most times then you may have missed this. 10 mins worth watching when you have a chance. Rise above the scare campaigns and #VoteYesAustralia

Dutton knew $9m contractor was bribery suspect via @crikey_news crikey.com.au/?p=1103015 The entire “indefinite detention” horror show made millions for a select few and wrecked & cost many lives. But haven’t we known this for years? Morrison? Dutton? Yet again cash for cruelty.

The @ABC has received the Murdoch message.🙋‍♂️ Whatever you do if it's a Liberal scandal keep STUM.✔ If it's Labor KILL THEM OFF..🤦‍♂️👁️👁️🧐😒 Silence on Nauru bribes and Dutton's involvement🤫🤫

The very first thing Albo said after winning the election was that Labor would committ to Voice Treaty Truth. Now the media are making a huge scandal out of Albo wearing a Midnight Oil T shirt to a Midnight Oil gig a bigger scandal than Paladin and the Robodebt findings.

I totally agree. Matt Kean's reaction, or lack of it, to the findings left me gob smacked.🙃🫤
