If One Nation policy is to force PRs to sell their homes, there will be thousands of longterm PRs (mainly UK citizens) affected. If it’s just TRs, there would be thousands of longterm NZ citizens affected. Would NZ retaliate? https://t.co/UyZqZYSdhB

AstraZeneca's decision to withdraw this drug from the PBS will affect 1000's of women in Australia living with endo & breast cancer.

They say it's a "commercial decision" but are leaving the higher dose used for prostate cancer as is.

I asked questions at Estimates yesterday on behalf of Canberrans who had contacted me, worried about what their treatment looks like in the future.

I urge AZ to front up and explain what's happening - women with breast cancer deserve transparency here.

In Denmark, McDonalds workers make $25 an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.

Don't believe the lies that raising the minimum wage would force prices to go up.

Israel murdered Australian Humanitarian aid worker Zomi Frankcom in cold blood - no action from our government.

Israeli soldiers sexually assaulted and abused Australian activists on board a flotilla - no action from our government.

israelis have been comitting genocide for the last 3 years, slaughtering 10's of 1000's of children in the process - no action from our government.

Someone please tell me: WTF is going on here??? https://t.co/jAUFZE5YCT #IsraelIsATerroristState #FreePalestine #auspol

The lesson here is that core public services must not be privatised and this service, court transcription, should be brought back into the public service.

Pauline Hanson says young people don't want to work, but If you only showed up to work 12% of the time, you'd probably be looking for a new job.

Yet Pauline Hanson wants working Australians to take her seriously after an 88% absence rate at Senate Estimates.

@ElaineM11584892 My blood cancer medication was put on the PBS last September- blood cancer month. I would have had to pay 4,950 per month @ I qualified for it, so as a pensioner I pay 7.50/ mth, @ my weekly blood tests are bulk billed. Thank you labor party. Wouldn't happen under the LNP or ON.

I've sent questions to the ABC asking if they intend to counsel or discipline Charlie Pickering for giving an interview to someone who:
- pled guilty to unlawful assault in 2019
- describes Islam as a “barbaric ideology”
- was banned from Facebook for doxxing an ABC employee.

[cmdibley @cmdibley]

The Right complaining about the ‘backlash’ against Pickering is a bit rich. He chose to denigrate Grace Tame & criticise her appointment by @abcnews as he is free to do. And he’s free to be a proud #Zionist. Just as we are free to publicly denounce him for being an arsehole.

ICYMI... Last night the outgoing Inspector-General of Aged Care Natalie Siegel-Brown said what the Greens have been warning about for years: that a rationed aged care system would create a two-tier system that favoured wealthier people. This is precisely what's happening now.

[Penny Allman-Payne @senatorpennyqld]

A clear admission here from the Department that Labor is rationing - i.e. denying - aged care from older Australians. And they're using an untested algorithm that is consistently under-assessing care to do their dirty work for them.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Malak Mahmoud, the heavily pregnant woman filmed being thrown to the ground by a Dutch police officer as her Palestinian husband from Gaza was detained, has spoken to Al Jazeera.

Police in Zeist say they are reviewing the use of force and have opened an investigation.

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

🚨REVEALED🚨 Secret night-time shipments are happening of High Explosives manufactured by a foreign arms company in an Australian government-owned facility — approved for export and headed ultimately to Israel to kill Palestinians.

Excellent reporting from @DaveMilbo for @shot_au:

“Australia is manufacturing the raw explosive that ends up inside the bombs falling on Gaza, on Lebanon, and on Iran. 

“Not the entirety of the bombs. Just the explosive bits. And even Penny Wong wouldn’t have the gall to argue that nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose, and RDX (known as cyclonite) are the “non-lethal parts” of a bomb. 

“Two factories, one in NSW, at Mulwala, and one in Victoria, in Benalla, manufacture the munitions that end up inside the shells, bullets, missiles and bombs used by the US-Israeli death machine in its expansionist, genocidal campaigns.”
