@hourIyhoroscope Awwwww really?

[Prof Jenny Hocking @palaceletters]

A good read @BernardKeane 'Aust’s health system far outperforms the free market-based US health system which spends twice as much per capita to deliver far worse outcomes & Americans die 5 years younger than us'. Aust's world-leading health system #auspol https://t.co/9hwIYZA1e5

Dutton: “No other country in the world can keep the lights on with the renewables-only policy”.
Except for Norway, Iceland, Nepal, Albania, Paraguay, Costa Rica. 20 other countries with +90% renewable, 33 are +80%.
As usual, Dutton completely lies to achieve his agenda. #AUSPOL

Nuclear energy makes no sense. Neither does Peter Dutton. #auspol #AfternoonBriefing

[Michael J Wyllie @michaelJwyllie]

Germany phased out nuclear power, the last three nuclear plants shut down in 2023.

They concluded the risks of this technology exceeded benefits.

Spud has lost the plot🙄

Israel & the Myth of 'Self Defence' @davidahearst

[Mark Kenny @markgkenny.bsky.social @markgkenny]

An outstanding @mrseankelly piece noting media failure, dishonest & dishonourable campaigning, callousness of heart, and epic voter self-delusion.

[Barrie Cassidy @barriecassidy]

Asked what he’ll now do for indigenous Australians Peter Dutton said that between now and the next election he’ll take advice from Jacinta Price and then formulate policies. One voice. One. Do you get the irony?

'Let's just be decent for once.' As Australia inches closer to Referendum Day, @rove explains why giving our First Nations People a Voice to Parliament should unite us, not divide us.

What would you do if a foreign military knocked down your door, beat up your mother, imprisoned your father, & stole your house?

What would you do if you were told for the rest of your life you would have to live in a cage, besieged?

@m7mdkurd on 75yrs of violence & oppression:

[Ponderosa @ThePineSky]

@JayJay91341991 Yes indeed, the whe conversation has not entertained the mere possibiliy of a Yes vote

[GayCarBoys @GayCarBoys]

Australia post is a service, not a business. the people who run it are public servants. there are plenty of services run privately for users to choose. to infer otherwise means all govt depts should make a profit rather than provide the service they were set up for

[Wazza from Melbourne @Melbourne_says]

Once upon a time women never had a voice, or a right to vote, because men thought they knew what was best. Today, the whole country cheers on the Matildas

Now, an Indigenous Voice is at the same crossroad.

Let’s make the future look back on us with pride. #VoteYesAustralia

@KarolinaVoit @normboy562 @ABC Yup, deranged obsession alright... ABC need to get back to reporting the news and not exremely biased opinion rubbish. Here's their latest hit piece.. https://t.co/CthTxU53iD

[Michelle Grattan @michellegrattan]

the Greens are holding out for controls on rents, which are actually within the jurisdiction of the states

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Disappointing to see the housing legislation that's been debated since February be kicked down the road to October by the Coalition & the Greens.

It's not perfect but it's so much better than it was thanks to advocacy by a whole range of ppl, from stakeholders to the xbench.
