Can someone “please explain” to One Nation, the difference between a slogan and a fully costed and economically modelled policy. They seem to not understand the difference.

While you’re at it; perhaps also explain that an entire platform built around nothing but random, indiscriminate cuts to government spending without any meaningful evidence of inefficiency beyond “I don’t like it” and without any associated plan to replace essential services is not going to “make Australia great” (again)…

@Commoncents21 @3aw And 95 seats. Poor Lean is a whinger. How often does she attend the Senate? Not enough for all of her criticism of Australian workers.

David Pocock pauses, overcome with emotion, while detailing UN’s horrific findings against Israel
“IDF has now killed 20,000 Palestinian children”
“…deliberately shot at children’s limbs…as a twisted game of target practice”😔
Barbaric & sickening. This is our ally?

I think we can all agree: A man who exploits a child for sex before beating her to death, dumping her body and going about his normal life like nothing happened, 100% deserves to face 'hell' in prison.
We do not need fucking journalists turning a child killing sex predator into a fucking pity party.
This is not an exhaustive collection of fucked up headlines around the murder of Donhomla Tunchanok but I wanted to document them anyway.
When men murder women and girls, journalists, sub editors and editors fall over themselves in the rush to turn them into ... things.
A ride on mower is used in a femicide - she becomes the MOWER MURDER.
A wheelie bin is used in a femicide - she becomes the WHEELIE BIN MURDER.
A suitcase is used in a femicide - she becomes the SUITCASE MURDER.
Meanwhile, the same media that reduces Tunchanok to a suitcase is outdoing each other in humanising the man who allegedly killed her.
We know he drives trucks, we know he lost weight, we know he ‘faces hell’ in prison, we know his 'head has been shaved', we know he had a ‘sad' life, we know he had a ‘lonely’ life, we know he had a ‘quiet’ life ... is there anything we don’t fucking know about him.

Once again the Coalition, Greens and Crossbench have forced the Government to do better when it comes to Support at Home care for older Australians.

In response to a bill Seantor Allman-Payne, Senator Ruston & I co-sponsored in the Senate the government will now reintroduce human oversight into their aged care algorithm assessments - as they should've had from the start.

@ProfJoannaHowe @PaulineHansonOz @OneNationAus 39-week abortions aren't a thing - that's a delivery.

You invented it to horrify people who don't know better.

~1% of abortions are after 20 weeks, and almost all for fetal abnormality diagnosed late.

Trading on people's worst days to push a fiction is disgraceful.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

My piece in the @GuardianAus today arguing govts can't afford to repeat the mistakes they made with the gas industry.

With huge investment in data centres - why aren't we asking what this is all for and how Australians are going to benefit from it?

If we do want data centres and multinational tech giants are going to use Australian land, Australian energy, Australian water & Australian workers to build the infrastructure that powers the AI revolution, then Australians deserve a fair return.

That's the lesson we failed to learn with gas. We shouldn't wait another generation to learn it again.

@MFWitches @AlboMP Aged care should never have been privatised.

[I Read Alot @Fotografier]

@DavidPocock The point being made is passports generate $1.12 billion and PRRT generates $1.25. Can I add that HECS payments generate $5.1 billion per year.

Yes, we do need a better return on the gas exports. For all of our boasting about natural resources there is an elite few who benefit.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Some of Australia's largest mining companies receive hundreds of millions in diesel fuel tax credits - BHP alone received $622 million last financial year.

At a time when the budget is under pressure and Australians are feeling huge cost of living pressures, these subsidies need to end.

We should be capping fuel tax credits to look after farmers and small miners but make the biggest miners pay the full price for diesel like everyone else.

How the fuck do we live in a place where you’ll get fined or worse for running your sprinklers if you live in a town with active water restrictions but more than 200 useless AI data centres in Oz use as much fresh water as they damn well please and nobody can or will do a fucking thing about it?

@DaveSharma Would you mind pointing out to me David when you spoke up against Josh Frydenberg and Scott Morrison doubling the cost of many degrees,
whacking another 25k+ in student debt on GenZ and beyond?

Funny I don’t remember your concern for young people then.

@peterlalor96050 @Mark_Butler_MP Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton, reopened Christmas Island detention centre in 2019 to detain the Biloela family.
They had 8 guards.
100 staff.
And were held there for 18 months at the cost of 6.7 million dollars.
And you’re having a go at Labor caring for sick Aust.
