@CJHarvey56 Real incompetence is the hallmark of the LNP

My word, to improve the Liberal Party, Deeming must get the boot. Not often that I agree with the sellout of his own people Wazza.😂😂

The malignant power of the USA has robbed Australia of its sovereignty. US bases and now AUKUS. No Gov willing to step away from this rotting behemoth- fear of being undermined by a malevolent CIA whose only aim is to maintain US hegemony. Payoffs organised for obedient pollys.

I’m sure this👇🏻explains why we’ve had such a spineless response to unforgivable atrocities. They seem to have forgotten they govern for us not themselves. lnp/one abomination would be worse. They disgust me. Only The Greens have stood against the slaughter of children & women.

UN’s Francesca Albanese [@FranceskAlbs] faces Cologne pro-israeli protesters – as calm as ever, because truth doesn’t need insults or lies

At chemo this morning, a woman came in for the 1st time. Post mastectomy, I could tell she was scared. Her husband was with her. I could tell he was annoyed. Brought his laptop, constantly worked, texted. At one point, she started to cry & he told her she was embarrassing him. Then her dad came, I think unplanned. After 5 minutes & 1 nasty comment from the husband, Dad got pissed & kicked him out. Loudly. Then told daughter she & the kids were coming to his house. 2 sides - one coin.

@NimraShahzadin Beautiful dress

My daughter's getting married in three months and her future mother-in-law keeps making comments about my "homemade" dress. When my daughter asked me to crochet her wedding dress, I was terrified but honored. Her fiance's mother has been dropping hints about "real" wedding dresses from "actual" bridal shops, like what I'm making isn't legitimate somehow. She keeps asking if we have a "backup plan" in case my dress doesn't work out. I've been working on this for eight months. The pattern came from a master crocheter on the Tedooo app who's made dozens of bridal gowns. Every thread was chosen carefully, every stitch counted twice, every measurement checked and rechecked. This isn't some craft project - it's a work of art. The train alone took six weeks to complete. Those pineapple motifs at the bottom? Each one represents hours of concentration and love. The fitted bodice required me to learn techniques I'd never attempted before, but I was determined to make something worthy of her special day. Yesterday my daughter had her final fitting and started crying when she saw herself in the mirror. "Mom, it's the most beautiful dress I've ever seen." She's going to surprise everyone at that church, especially her future mother-in-law. I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces when she walks down that aisle.

Every prev US pres accepted limits on support for Israel. Not this incipient fascist. As we see rising unemployment and inflation, swelling refugee flows, rampart populism undermining our politics, put the blame where it lies: the Netanyahu-Trump alliance, an actual axis of evil

And today Australia’s National Press Club hosts the Israeli ambassador & we have no expectation of questions which matter.

Definitely shadow-banned. Please let me know if you can see this?

FFS @abcnews Why did you cut off the Treasurer @JEChalmers while he was taking questions. Questions we as the viewing public were vitally interested in @ABCaustralia is taxpayer funded public broadcaster #DoYourJobABC

The lies dribbling from the Israeli Ambassador are disgraceful #NPC deranged delusional deceitful Dishonest

Must Watch, Four Corners – Campus Chaos, exposing Unis using false claims to justify slashing staff & outsourcing work to consultants Features @lyon_brendan & his fight against special perks for Big consultants “Universities are but the latest victim of this ongoing scam”#auspol

Could not be more appalled at @SenatorWong strongly implying here that #Iran is in any way responsible for this war or has in any way the responsibility to open the Strait of Hormuz or take steps to reverse what Trump has done. This behaviour is disgraceful and complicit with Trump’s Nazi behaviour. If anything could ever be considered un-Australian, this is the very definition of that …

Israel’s Ambassador Hillel Newman making shocking hate speech & falsehoods in his NPC address. Accuses journalists of spreading propaganda & denies hundreds journos have been killed in Gaza. Calls Iranians & Palestinians ‘barbarians’, ‘extremists’ Why give him a platform?#auspol

An audit has revealed Defence failures that left taxpayers paying over $480,000 in late payment fees. At the same time, Labor and Liberals teamed up in the senate to reduce scrutiny of defence spending, including stopping the ANAO Major Projects Report. Today, I’m co-sponsoring a senate motion calling for it to be reinstated. Transparency is essential to maintaining trust and accountability in defence spending. canberratimes.com.au/story/9210022/…

@BarbaraPocock @blanketcrap Low wages are a feature of LNP beliefs and values

A huge win for young workers! Unfair junior rates for 18-20 year olds have been scrapped by the Fair Work Commission - a decision the Greens have long campaigned for. Real wages of workers have gone backwards as inflation has soared, leaving our young workers behind.

@DaveMilbo Vital question. Many people I trust have joined #Greens; my choice largely bcs of @DavidShoebridge whose work on foreign affairs is superb. Perhaps DS should lead w the admirable @larissawaters as Deputy? NOT bcs he's a man, but his cut-through is outstanding. Wld rattle #Labor.

Fuel excise halved. Free PT for a month. Labor is making strong decisions to help Victorians right now.

Free public transport starts today and continues until 30 April.
