The right to strike is almost dead Wages are stagnant It's time to #ChangeTheRules #auspol #ausunions

@AYCC Good they’ll phase out coal but most of their power comes from nuclear and that’s pretty horrible too

Unfair Work strikes again, always protecting the business (the aggressor) instead of the workers (the victims). This ruling is unfair, ridiculous, insulting, infuriating and should be strongly opposed. #SydneyTrains

Change the name of Australia Day — and call it what it is, says managing editor @davrosz Donovan. fb.me/HLCUBXsi

“Why do you want to change the date?” “Well, I actually want a Treaty, land rights, economic independence, self-determination, total Indigenous control over Indigenous affairs, the elimination of racial discrimination, and basic respect as human beings but, you know, baby steps”

The @AustralianLabor party needs reform from elitism to become democratic. The fact that members cannot vote candidates and the exorbitant cost of membership are a huge barrier. Look at the cost of membership and the rights of members in comparison #auspol

Excellent piece on @new Matilda in regards to the real threat in Melbourne, the lack of accountability of "The Gang In Blue Is The Real Menace In Melbourne" newmatilda.com/2018/01/22/the… #Melbourne

Maybe after this @Channel7 should televise the wedding of @PeterDutton_MP & @blaircottrell89. It seems like a logical step to keep normalising hateful idiots & neonazis. theguardian.com/australia-news… #auspol

Iceland just made it illegal for men to be paid more than women for doing the same work.

Australians want political leadership that appeals to the best of us, that encourages compassion, decency and welcome towards refugees. That grapples with complexity with thought, engagement, patience and care. Instead we have more of what @judyhoracek captures so well below.

It seems to us that @PeterDutton_MP & the LNP are once again attacking people they want out of Australia. Could this be a strategy to instil fear and division in order to shore up votes for the next Victorian election? #auspol #vicpol twitter.com/asrc1/status/9…

The @ASRC1 is proudly based in Footscray by choice. We have received nothing but welcome, generosity and support from the Australian African refugee community. We stand proudly with them. Maybe if you treated them like human beings Peter #Dutton you'd receive the same response.

Listen to @NyadolNyuon and recognise true leadership - standing up for a better Australia & calling out hysterical race based politicking twitter.com/abcthedrum/sta…

From Ta-Nehisi Coates to investigative journalist Jane Mayer, these are our favorite interviews from the @intercepted podcast. interc.pt/2qdRHXJ

Dear @PeterDutton_MP, unlike you, we live in Melbourne and what we fear is your hateful self. Instilling fear and division. Creating shitstorms. Tearing apart the community. You’re dangerous #auspol

Into the final 24 hours of our last fundraiser for the year. We're closing in, but need your help - SHARE TILL YOUR TWEETING FINGERS BURST!!! bit.ly/2C00xcK

Remember how our political "leaders" (who pose as Christians) forced refugees on Manus into Lorengau: now the locals are blockading them, starving them: abc.net.au/news/2017-12-2… I hope @PeterDutton_MP and @TurnbullMalcolm choke over their Christmas dinner: they are hypocrites

"We are human and don't have any shelter but humanity... I belong to this world and I belong to the humans beyond the political borders … I am a free man." @BehrouzBoochani inspiring and powerful. #manus #refugees #humanity @auspol smh.com.au/national/this-…

Excellent piece on Myanmar and the Rohingya people via Le Monde Diplomatique (English edition) mondediplo.com/outsidein/rohi… #rohingya

The media predicted Palestinians would react violently to Trump’s decision, but the entire occupation has always been the most violent part of the equation. interc.pt/2CznPGy
