It took two decades to restore territory rights. We’re seeing another attempt to override a decision made by the ACT legislative assembly.
This has to stop.
Former whistleblower @WilkieMP talking about current whistleblower Richard Boyle.
Mr Boyle's courage should be praised. Instead he's being prosecuted.
The crossbench is calling on the AG to end the prosecution & act swiftly to update whistleblower protection laws.
I survived 10years in Australia’s cruel offshore detention.

What a pathetic response by @ChrisMinnsMP to “serious corruption”findings by NSW ICAC.Praising #ourgladys for covid management…forgotten abt Ruby Princess &the fact she lied abt taking health advice.
Then says corruption inquiries should not impede machinery of Govt.👎
When she was incoming Foreign Minister Julie Bishop in 2014 unilaterally terminated ABC’s Australia Network contract. 83 international broadcasters axed including in situ Asia Pacific correspondents opening way for China. Vandalism of our national interests.
#Breaking: Father Bob Maguire has died aged 88, after a lifetime dedicated to the poor and marginalised.
Australia has lost one of its most irrepressible social justice campaigners.

The Federal government has a long history of helping build social & affordable housing. Australia is in a housing crisis and the Govt needs to do more, including upping the ambition of the Housing Australia Future Fund. There's a community rally tomorrow here on the lawns of Parliament House.
Come and make your voice heard.

Last night Ramila Chanisheff and I were presented with the 2023 Anti-Slavery Australia ‘Campaign’ award for getting the ‘Banning Goods Produced By Forced Labour’ Bill through the Senate. I accepted it, but only as ‘caretaker’ for the hundreds that help me do it. #auspol#Uyghurs
Just over a years worth of fossil fuel subsidies in 🇦🇺 could rewire the household economy, helping Australians get off gas and petrol - saving all of us money every week, month and year going forward.
Labor, Liberals and Nationals voted against making Ministers’ diaries publicly available, as is done in other countries and in states here in Australia.
This is an important part of transparency and knowing who is being consulted and influencing decisions being made by Ministers. Thanks to @JacquiLambie and the crossbench for pushing this issue.
