These ads will be playing across Australia from tonight. Working people have kept our country going during the pandemic. We have sacrificed much. We expect every decision Fed parliament makes to support these heroes, not to hurt them.

Ten years ago today, Julia Gillard became Australia's first female Prime Minister. This speech against misogyny directed at Tony Abbott was one of the most defining moments of her leadership.

The ABC costs us $879m a year.

Our military budget just went up by $2.3billion (to $38.7billion).

The ABC is just as crucial to the defence of our democracy than any piece of military hardware.

This isn't about money.
It's about ideology.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

Cancers on democracy. 1) Murdoch with 70% of print plus Sky. 2) Nine hosts $10k per head Liberal fundraiser, chaired by Costello, owns the SMH and Melbourne Age. 3)ABC now leaning Liberal, denying a Labor voice, violating balance as mandated by the charter https://t.co/v34U4PIWYx

I support #BlackLivesMatterAustralia because Indigenous people have been given a raw deal for centuries. The conservatives can't cut more than $500M from Indigenous programs, dismiss the Uluru Statement, and then wonder what all the fuss is about.

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

When the last Liberal Prime Minister agrees with me that the Murdoch media functions like a political party, there's a clear case for @AusElectoralCom to examine whether News Corp should be registered as a Liberal Party "associated entity". Same scrutiny was demanded of @GetUp.

This week, @ScottMorrisonMP has accused teachers of being lazy and health workers of lying.

He should remember that while he’s shut down parliament, they’re still actually doing their job.

What is a learning city? There are now 3 UNESCO learning cities in Australia. @WyndhamCouncil @meltoncity and our newly approved @CircularHead. Learning occurs across society in many forms including formal informal and non formal.
