This happens every time the government increases subsidies - the system requires fundamental change - ‘It’s crippling families’: parents say childcare centres pushing up rates as Labor’s subsidy kicks in, by @caitecassidy https://t.co/wDwGJwEIN8
Trump. SCOTUS. The Sacklers. 🇺🇸
Johnson. Thames Water. 🇬🇧
Morrison. Robert. Berejiklian. PwC. 🇦🇺
Moral disengagement.
Seems disturbingly common on the Right of politics & in business than elsewhere. 🤔 #auspol
When TERFs say nobody's stopping trans people existing, what they rmean is nobody's stopping trans people existing as long as they stop being trans. How can a trans person live anywhere near authentically when they can't expect a basic level of respect from these ghouls? 1/2
Sorry. Am I reading this wrong? From the man who was in charge at the time now saying it was NOT his fault, but the fault of whoever was in charge at the time? At the risk of sounding like the Pope, ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS SHIT, MATT??!

ATHLETICS:
High jumper Nicola Olyslagers’ incredible form continues, equalling the Australian record of 2.02m to win the Diamond League 🥇in Lausanne this morning!
Can I say for the record what a joy it always is listening to @HadfieldWarwick talking to @PatsKarvelas about sport on @RNBreakfast each morning? I like watching sport but don’t follow it. But he always makes it so interesting and he is always so droll.
The Greens have been pushing for a national anti-corruption commission for years, and have a “top Ten” list of NACC referrals for consideration when NACC opens for business on 1 July. This is just the tip of the iceberg of course!
Tonight's @abcnews finance thing, mainly about inflation. I show that this year (Jan-May) it's 2.8%; in May, seasonally adjusted, ZERO; May original (not seasonally adjusted), MINUS 0.4%. The RBA must STOP HIKING INTEREST RATES.

Imagine a future of successful community clubs with no pokies…well, that’s what we are doing here in the ACT. 🙌
‘Keep Molonglo Pokie-Free’ - is the new campaign I launched today alongside incredible gambling reform advocates and representatives from the ACT club industry.
The idea is simple: the closer you live to poker machines, the more likely you are to experience gambling harm. Molonglo Valley is a new and growing community in the ACT that has no poker machines - and the proposal is to keep it that way.
This makes perfect sense. Conservatives tend not to want society to change because they are doing well as it is. We have hobbled young people with debt, unreachable mortgages etc, not to mention climate change. No wonder they won’t vote LNP. https://t.co/6izrnhLUEO
As I’ve said before suspending all PwC contracts for 5-10 years (heck I’d do it permanently) is really a no brainer. How bad do you have to be before getting punished?
