Monique Ryan nails it. Dutton’s plan for nuclear will cost us a bomb. Climate action will be set back a decade. And nuclear will make electricity more expensive. Those are the facts.
Senator (and I use that term loosely in this instance ) Ralph Babet .. is becoming increasingly unhinged in his social media apoplectic rants.
Something must be done about this disruptive, abusive and divisive dimwit. He is a disgrace to the very institution he has been elected into. He continues to make a mockery of the processes of accountability and responsibility as a sitting senator.
A petition, no less, or a deluge of complaints about this rampant nutjack should be considered.
There absolutely must be a reining in of misinformation, disinformation and outright lies through social media platforms through legislation.
We cannot condone this absolute farcical behaviour that continues to spread dangerous Trumpist ideology in support of a convicted felon in another country by a representative of our senate in THIS country.
Good Leaders unite our country, they don't inflame division.
Bad leaders intentionally inflame division.
Strong criticism here from Nikki Savva

Amazing how people on $250,000 per year are attacking people on less than $40-50,000 and less getting a pay rise!
The Americanisation of Australia is complete! 🤬
I am getting DMs from people I follow with the same link attached. In most cases the account owner doesn’t even realise that their account is being used to send these DMs, but has likely received a DM themselves and pressed on the link.
If you get a DM with any suspicious links similar to this - don’t press on the link.
The AAT is unbelievable.
Top-end stacked with Liberal flunkies, it has failed to do its job and has deliberately undermined the Labor government - withholding relevant information regarding their restoration of visas to people convicted of serious crimes.
These visas were cancelled by the immigration department - and then restored by the AAT without appropriate consultation with the relevant minister.
One might wonder if this was indeed the work of sabotage to create yet another “crisis” that involves two of Dutton’s favourite pastimes - immigration and Labor bashing.
Dutton also neglects to let us all know that 100s of people were released under his own watch as Immigration and Home Affairs minister - many of whom were serious offenders.
🙄
Just as well then that Labor are abolishing the AAT and appointing a new body, the ART.
‘Legislation establishing the Administrative Review Tribunal has passed the parliament, replacing the beleaguered Administrative Appeals Tribunal as the chief reviewer of government decisions’
‘The Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) will differ from its predecessor by changing statutory appointments to a merit-based hiring process, with the intention of restoring public faith in the institution’ (The Mandarin).
AG Mark Dreyfus: “The AAT’s public standing was irreversibly damaged as a result of the former government’s appointment of as many as 85 former Liberal MPs, failed Liberal candidates, former Liberal staffers and other close Liberal associates without any merit-based selection process”
A merit-based hiring process? That discounts a good proportion of Liberal flunkies in the AAT.
While Dutton continues to blame the Immigration minister - it is more likely that there has been a catastrophic failure of communication between the AAT and the minister and his department.
Considering the fact that Home Affairs secretary, Stephanie Foster, confirmed to Senate estimates that Giles was not informed of the contentious cases that had gone to the tribunal.. if I were Labor I’d be seriously considering replacing serial saboteur, Stephanie Foster.
If you genuinely feel you're doing OK & don't need $300 off your power bill then donate $300 to a charity
Cost of means testing would chew up a lot of money which would be false economy
The rich are always on about 'taking responsibility', so do that & donate it

‘Fit for purpose’ is not just about infrastructure.
Due to Yongah Hill’s isolation, visitors have to travel 1 hour+, but it’s beyond most bcs men are moved away from their home states.
Families can’t afford to travel bcs they’ve lost a breadwinner. Kids don’t see dads for years.
Thank you @Mon4Kooyong for talking sense when it comes to how we treat people seeking safety.
People have had enough of the faux outrage. This Government can, and should, approach refugee policy humanely.

This is extremely disturbing but we owe it to the Palestinians to bear witness and acknowledge the barbarity of their deaths at the hands of IDF monsters and our complicit world leaders.
