It is ridiculous and unacceptable that our pollies are seeking and/or accepting largesse from corporates or individuals.
They should all stop.
But can we, at the same time, get back to some of the more consequential issues our Parliament has to deal with, please?

Or we could stop exporting 80% of our gas OS so that other countries like Japan can on-sell it to other markets for a profit!!
Australians are being robbed.

Reading the commentary from both political hacks and twitter geniuses on Albo's house and fuck me, if there was any more evidence of what a pissant, toytown little polity Australia is than getting upset over a PM buying a house, I can't think of it.
I know many people agree with what young people in #JustStopOil are trying to achieve, but quite vocally think they’re not fighting for their futures in the right way
If that’s you and you're open minded, you might like to read Martin Luther King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail
Not wanting to make any progressive change, or even just do the right thing because of a culture war fear is just letting the culture warriors rule by proxy. What’s the point of having power if the number one concern is not allowing the coalition to weaponise it?
‘Any definition of anti-semitism that includes criticism of Israel conflates Judaism with Zionism, making the racist assumption that all Jews support a Jewish supremacist state.’
Inquiry into anti-semitism a Trojan Horse for the Israel lobby

Perfect example of how the Coalition flooded the zone with shit. There are no security concerns. No one has left Gaza for Australia since May. They created an issue out of thin air on a random weekday and now ppl are thinking of an imagined problem rather than our very real ones
Dear Jane Hume and #LNP rump,
Yes it is about money. Public schooling has been neglected and the needs of public school students and teachers have been ignored by the #LNP govts for a decade.
We need to invest extra billions. Urgently!#Albanese#PublicSchools
Democrats now in a deep ditch. Enough senior figures have publicly questioned the logic of his candidacy for it to be deeply, and possibly terminally, wounding. But Biden circling a dwindling number of wagons. Disastrous 12 days for Biden. Trump’s quietude speaks volumes.
If only we lived in a country with lots of sparsely populated land, year-round sunshine, endless windy coastlines, established solar, hydro and wind industries, and billions of dollars of private investment lined up and ready to go.
First the ALP’s policy to exploit gas reserves until ‘2050 and beyond’, and now the Coalition’s commitment to scrapping Australia’s 2030 climate targets. I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. Future generations will never forgive us for this betrayal. https://t.co/vW69aPezsD
The ABC's treatment of Laura Tingle is of a piece with its decades-long uncritical coverage of climate denialism in the name of balance and its constant platforming of News Corp and IPA commentators despite their lack of expertise or credibility.
@JaneCaro As a product of a male-only Marist Brothers High School, 1961-1965, I can identify the big problems. Young males with bursting Testosterone levels need to interact with sensible, confident young females. If they don’t, crude objectification of females becomes endemic. I saw it.
So the verdict is in, as agreed by both major parties and the mainstream media: there are 8 million reasons why the referendum failed and none of them was racism. Cool, we can all move on.
