"It will included Muslim candidates from Western Sydney, it will be a disaster". As a Muslim who grew up in Western Sydney I find this comment from someone who is running for PM an absolute disgrace. Bigotry at its finest. Fueling Islamophobia from the very top.

How did NSW affordable housing policy just become rezoning and density? Density is great for lots of reasons. But as the main (only) tool for affordability it is really just supply-side, trickle down economics. A 🧵

International Women's Day was originally International Working Women's Day.

The first marches in Australia called for equal pay & won paid leave & an 8-hour workday.

Capitalist girl bosses & "She-EOs" are not women's justice.

This Women's Day, join a union. #IWWD2023 #IWD2023

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

Today, we celebrate the hope that’s still alive in all of us despite the injustices we face.

We celebrate a 21st century feminist movement that is global & grounded in intersectionality.

This movement will make us stronger together ✊🏽

Violet Coco was sentenced to 15 months in jail under NSW’s new draconian anti-protest laws.

The right to protest is vital to a functioning democracy & essential in our fight against the climate crisis.

I feel at least 60% of these numbers are made up. #Budget2023

Also, I thought the freeze on the #ABC’s funding had been lifted. Why are they using the crappy Parliament House wire chairs for budget coverage? #budget2022

Is Angus Taylor the worst shadow treasurer ever?

.@DOMfay and .@MichaelWhiting - Devo to hear the Roar deal is wrapping up. I live in Sydney so each episode is a little bit of home for me. I've been a listener since the beginning and hope the new version works out.
