Albanese Gov yesterday: here's $940m for a US tech start-up to make a quantum computer.

Albanese Gov today: we can only put $925m over 5yrs towards the national emergency that is men's violence against women.

So today's big announcement is about making permanent a Morrison-era announcement, which has seen more than 50% of applicants rejected, and which won't actually help them survive once they escape.

Not quite the radical solution this moment called for.

Three. That's how many affordable rental properties there are for people on JobSeeker in the entire country.

Labor is banking surpluses and enriching arms manufacturers while millions literally can't afford a home.

Build public housing. Raise the rate.

Labor’s Anti Refugee Bill is now being amended by Labor to include mandatory minimum sentences for breaches - this is in breach of Labor’s own national policy platform - there is no principle they won’t sell out

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

Must watch: @Chanelcontos' valuable @PressClubAust address, tackling the epidemic of sexual assault through consent education.

Huge congrats on the progress towards national criminalisation of stealthing, backed up by an @TheAusInstitute report by @SiennaParrott & Dr Chesser.

This year, Labor plans to spend about the same on the Nauru Detention Centre as they do on their joke of housing fund, which they reckon will fix the housing crisis for the entirety of Australia.

Nauru: $485m, population 22
HAFF: $500m, population 26,369,293

Both parties love to talk about being the best managers of the budget and they both do this

If only there was was a magic wand that would let @tanya_plibersek knock back fossil fuel projects. There is - it’s called the climate trigger - and pollies from both sides of the floor have tried to legislate it, incl @AlboMP. My story for @crikey_news https://t.co/jguPFOA4cd

This is the Uluṟu Statement from the Heart.

Look at the names of the 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ppl who reached a national consensus, proposing a constitutionally enshrined Voice.

Dutton and the Liberal Party are being dishonest. It will not be a Canberra Voice.

After almost a week - Greens MP Cate Faehrmann is the FIRST politician to visit Menindee after the fish kill.

No NSW Premier, no opposition leader, no state or federal water minster, no state or federal shadow water ministers, no local member or candidates.

[Greg Jericho @GrogsGamut]

No more new coal or gas mines. Net zero by 2035.

That’s it. ⁦

Full segment from tonight’s @theprojecttv on the Menindee fish kills

[Penny Allman-Payne @senatorpennyqld]

This is a BIG win for the climate, for workers, and for our manufacturers. Coal and gas are the biggest cause of the climate crisis, and we've stopped public money going towards wrecking the climate and our environment 💪

[Nick McKim @NickMcKim]

This is from the UK but perhaps Labor and Liberal Senators in Australia should watch it given their shameful vote this morning.

When men earn more in 87% of occupation in which women make up more than 60% of the workforce it's clear the issue is not just male-dominated industries etc pay more

Our campaign for national harmonisation of stealthing laws is a feature story in this month’s @marieclaireau

Because it often falls through the cracks of our legal and educational systems, a lot of survivors don’t initially recognise stealthing as sexual assault. 🧵👇🏽

Thanks @TheAusInstitute for championing this education and reform through the Centre for Sex & Gender Equality. You can learn more about stealthing here: https://t.co/02laYKQXHC
