With tensions heightening across Australia, any responsible leader should be doing all they can to assure local communities that their pain matters, that their voices are being heard. For the Coalition, there is no moral equivalence. @rachelrwithers https://t.co/XVmNFp6Jp8
There really are no words, and yet the Coalition found so many today to admonish Penny Wong for calling on Israel to maybe consider being a little better than this.
@David_Speers of course #truthtelling now needs pursuit by government AND the media. ABC could lead the way telling the full story of genocide, massacres, stolen children, incarceration rates, poverty, housing, etc. Better than trying to nail the Deputy PM to a wall #InsidersABC
"I truly wonder how their liberal consciences are holding up, as they lend legitimacy to disinformation that threatens long-term damage to our body politic, pushes public trust to the brink and unleashes forces that may be hard to contain" @rachelrwithers

Roy Ah-See said Nathan Cleary asked him at the end of a presentation what he could do to help.
“Nathan asked after the presentation in front of the whole playing group... He said he wanted to live in a better country which was inclusive for everyone.”

“News Corp was never able to leave so much of a scratch on Andrews. If anything, the attacks only made him stronger: voters were able to clearly see the bias in the increasingly shrill coverage,” writes @rachelrwithers#AusPol https://t.co/y6lf2oMcno
This has now been up for over 24 hours. For 24 hours, people have been pointing out that it is not accurate.
Do you think Peter Dutton ever feels bad? Even a twinge of guilt?
What about his team? Any moral qualms?
His wife? Does she ever say "Pete, that's a bit too monstrous"?
When you’re fed shitty interviews time & time again you sometimes forget what real journalism is all about.
Watch Cassidy completely dismantle Dutton for lying about & demonising refugee kids.
"Our analysis reveals the claims made to support the 'yes' case are accurate...
In contrast, the claims made to support the 'no' case are largely misleading"

Albo was on fire announcing October 14 as the day we vote. Albo: "It's up to us to start writing the next chapter together by writing the one word YES." This is a defining moment in Australia's history. It's an opportunity to celebrate and unite 🖤💛❤️ #VoiceToParliament
Fran Kelly making excellent sense on @ABCthedrum about the Constitution not being the place for policy detail. Defence is mentioned in the Constitution but it doesn’t mention how it should be run or organised - that’s up to parliament. Exactly!
"The rise [in Australia's emissions] should receive just as much attention and scrutiny as would the GDP figures next week if they showed the economy had gone backwards – they are a national disgrace," writes our chief economist @GrogsGamut#auspol

October 14. The date is set. Our opportunity to recognise Indigenous Australians in the Constitution and establish The Voice.
As Rachel Perkins explains - listening to Indigenous Australians will make a difference. It will save lives. @yes23au
The Constitution is a 34-page book of just principles. Clauses that determine the Federal Govt will collect tax, provide a defence force, establish a National Capital, but all without any detail. The #VoiceToParliament is excactly the same #abc730#Yes23#Referendum2023
