'Let's just be decent for once.' As Australia inches closer to Referendum Day, @rove explains why giving our First Nations People a Voice to Parliament should unite us, not divide us.
Pls RT
One of this country’s greatest humanitarians, “Australian Living Treasure” Prof Fiona Stanley, gives the FACTS on why #TheVoice WILL make a difference to First Nations people 🙌🙌🙌 #auspol
This by Lauren Dubois is one of the best VOICE explainers so far. If you have confused, reluctant or sceptical family or friends, spend three minutes watching it with them. #Insiders#auspol23#auspol

How big are the Stage 3 tax cuts?
You could raise Jobseeker to the level of the minimum wage ($1,625 per fortnight) and have it go up with inflation as usual, and it would cost $70bn less over the first 9 years.
Say it with me now – the jobseeker rate is so low, it’s an impediment to finding work. That’s the finding of the government’s own expert panel. And that’s even if you can find a job suitable to life, disability, health and skill.
We choose to leave people behind. It’s a choice.
GOBSMACKED. Jeannie-Marie just informed me (+ gave me permission to share) that Centrelink contacted her ahead of her return to the office next week and that she is NOT permitted to bring in her "I Remember" mug.
Sounds like they don't want to remember. The fucking audacity.

"In 2024-25, $12.7bn of the $17.7bn cost of the tax cuts will go to those earning above $120,000. That is almost the same amount expected to be spent on Jobseeker payments that year."

There’s been a lot of discussion this week about the role of various players in the Morrison Ministry scandal.
Much of the discussion has focused on Scott Morrison’s actions in this unprecedented event.
But what about the actions of others in this?

A reader kindly reminded me about this passage from my book about Scott Morrison. Very last bit really jumps out after last few days.

@lukehgomes And yet my daughter has just been told “All clients working with Wise Employment will be required to complete the Esher House Training”
The Department needs to ‘reach out’ to all providers using Esher House and seek the same confirmation.
