It's been interesting to watch the Liberal’s PR work this week.

They clearly think the concerns some of my cross-bench colleagues and I have about the Stage 3 cuts is their golden ticket back in with the public.

I don’t think they’ve learned anything from the election…

Musk pulling out of the Twitter deal is just another example of an extremist billionaire who promises to save the world and instead leaves a trail of broken promises.

Repeat after me, billionaires aren't the answer.

Wage growth won't destroy the economy, as Richard explains.

"Even though firms are making record profits, they're blaming workers and saying high wages are causing inflation. That's not economics, and it's certainly not good for the economy."

@jarrodmckenna Yeah, this needs more attention

[Alan Austin @alanaustin001]

The IMF shows Labor's economic outcomes have always been much better than the Coalition's. There is no basis for Morrison to claim they are better managers, let alone that Australia “leads the world”. The evidence proves the opposite. https://t.co/oWJoPtrmby via @MichaelWestBiz

An interviewer asked me: “Does the yoga world have a conspiracy problem?” My short answer was yes, but it forced me to step back and really try to encapsulate why. I’ve got a boiled-down answer using 4 different lenses: historical, ideological, political, and technological. /1

"The system has built a conception that we are highly reliant on fossil fuels. But there are more people in Australia that work in McDonald's than work in the coal & gas industry."

“We have to drag our leaders to lead us,” comedian and podcaster Dan Ilic says about crowdfunding a Times Square billboard calling out lawmakers’ inaction on climate change.

@beneltham How good is crony capitalism? @ScomoMP

@TheAusInstitute @RichieMerzian @pollyjhemming This is what journalism looks like when it is useful and serves the public interest. Keep it up!

No one needs Bezos to launch rockets into outer space. We need him to pay his fair share of taxes so people can thrive here on Earth.

@RDNS_TAI Greenland suspending oil exploration... That's what a working democracy looks like.
NSW approving 20 new coal mines while market signals push against coal - that's what crony capitalism looks like.

[Konrad Benjamin @KonradBenjamin]

@TGC Did God design the supply chain of child labour used to make my chocolate so cheap? Or the destruction of the Amazon that makes that cheap cheap beef I love on my burgers I eat every day? God truly does bless America.... And will screw everyone else to do so...

[Konrad Benjamin @KonradBenjamin]

@BenOquist @RDNS_TAI I'm not sure how much more ammo you need @AlboMP to kick this crony capitalist regime out of power... Except @AustralianLabor seems to take the same dirty money the Liberals do 🤦‍♂️

@RDNS_TAI The definition of crony capitalism...
