@AliFranceMP Whilst a great policy, application in practice is not so good. Highlighted at my work that we have the right to disconnect - but expectation is if you are called outside of hours you pick up and do the work. Fortunately it’s not super frequent but it does happen.

How have Labor’s #righttodisconnect laws made a difference to your life? Am interested to hear your stories.

Calling all Aussies in London; your vote is vital to keep Darth Dutton & his toxic Trumpism out of power. You’ve got till Friday 6pm to get to Oz House to have your say. Vote Labor but also vote tactically (Greens/ Independents) to stop the Conservatives wrecking ball #votelabor

The Coalition have preferenced One Nation ahead of ALP in 139 out of 147 seats. John Howard put One Nation last and Scott Morrison put them below Labor in every seat in 2019. Dutton’s Coalition has done a comprehensive nationwide preference deal with One Nation.

🎥 Big shoutout to Jackson—one of our brilliant campaign volunteers who’s put together a video talking about preferences. It’s people like Jackson who make this campaign what it is. Grassroots. Local. Community-powered. He’s stepped up, put in the time, and helped others get the facts they need to make their vote count. This is what people-powered politics looks like. Want change? Vote for it.

When the Morrison Govt left office, they were employing 50,000 ppl through consultancies & labour hire & cost $20bn for a single year. Gutting the public service will not save $$ & it will hurt our vets, age pensioners & new parents needing access to PPL. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

@noplaceforsheep Ezra Mam found GUILTY of unlicensed driving, drugged, crashed into an Uber driver with a mother and 4 year old child - who was so seriously injured the 4year old needed hip surgery, uber driver no longer able to work - but you know Ezra needs a second chance! Complete hypocrisy

Sam Kerr was found not guilty, but they still want to kick her out of the captaincy? When I think of what white male footballers get away with...

Her name is Frances Crawford. She was more than her accused killer's wife @couriermail ... perhaps start using women's names in your headlines. After all - she's the murder victim.

🔍 Fact-Check Alert! 🗣️ The people of Dickson have made it clear in our conversations and surveys: they want HONESTY and INTEGRITY from their representatives. #DicksonDecides #CommunityFirst #IntegrityMatters #FactCheck #HonestyInPolitics

SIXTY women killed in Australia so far this year, on average one every 4 days. And not one killed by a trans woman, terrorist, refugee in detention or any of the other bogeymen in mass media. It's the men in our lives, in our homes. #DomesticViolence 💔 abc.net.au/news/2024-09-2…

Every single child under 18 has now been removed from Scotland's prisons following passage of a law that prohibits the detention of children in prisons. Almost everywhere in Australia, children as young as 10 can still be locked up in prisons. bbc.com/news/articles/…

QLD Education Minister @DiFarmerMP knows that our children in public schools deserve to be backed with full funding. @AlboMP must increase the Federal Government’s investment share to 25% and finally close the funding gap. #auspol #qldpol

abc.net.au/news/2024-08-1… “Your chances in life shouldn't depend on your parents' pay packet or the colour of your skin, but these results again show that's still the case.” @JasonClareMP As a nation, we cannot leave the most vulnerable students without the resources and support they need to fulfil their potential. That’s why the Federal Government just increase their share of the SRS to fully fund public schools. #auspol

Just imagine the boost in voter satisfaction from the families of 2,6 million public school kids if ⁦@AlboMP⁩ ⁦@JasonClareMP⁩ invested in full funding. Economic investment in public schools good for our kids, good for the nation apple.news/A_D3b54mFSMOQs…

For most, empathy, compassion and decency doesn’t require a specific qualification or job title; it’s a natural instinct. This response from Reynolds says all we need to know about her. #IBelieveBrittany

So, a young woman who works for u is raped in your office & you are now talking to her. She says “I borrowed your jacket after I was raped because I was cold.” You wave that away & say “Oh God, don’t worry about that. Now let’s get back to how we can best support u.”Don’t you?

So both Reynolds and her former senior advisor Lehrmann have no problem with leaking highly confidential documents to benefit themselves. ASIO really need to look into whether they leaked other documents while she was Defence Minister. This is a matter of national security.

My favourite line today has been from Reynolds. “I did not receive one single phone call, not a single letter” when complaining about not being informed about Higgins settlement. As a senator, under Comcare laws, it was a confidential settlement and she’s not entitled to know.

What may have slipped some people's attention is that Linda Reynolds is now targeting another rape survivor, Saxon Mullins, for setting up crowdfunding for Brittany Higgins, as well as targeting a dead senator. There are no words to describe this horrendous woman.

I fully agree with @simonahac. Nice of the @australian to promote it. #IStandWithBrittany

The critical funding and support needed for Australian public school staff and students should not be compromised amidst a political spat between governments which has the potential to deny long awaited promised funding for public schools. Delivery of full funding must be a joint commitment from both the Commonwealth and the State and Territory governments. The fact that five states and one territory are refusing to sign the current deal is a clear sign that the Albanese Government’s offer is not good enough. #auspol @AlboMP @JasonClareMP
