Inflation is within-target-zone and falling, yet RBA won't cut rates. Other central banks are cutting quickly, but the RBA's perverse ideological inflexibility is amplifying the pain felt by working people. Our @JimboStanford explains for @TheNewDailyAu: https://t.co/fbKVb6Jb1y
A massive shout out to George Town Council for what I believe is a Tasmanian first! Check out this communication board installed at Regent Square Playground. Proud of the small part I played in getting this installed.More Councils (including mine) need to install them. #Politas
Dear @jeremyrockliff,
A gentle reminder of your inaugural address what mattered to you then, nearly 22 years ago:

Dirty politics. Absolutely shocking statement from this 10yr govt - how many of these children you are muckraking about have been abused or raped at AYDC on your watch @jeremyrockliff? #politas
'Juvenile career criminals' is an abusive, harmful nonsense statement bc children do not choose the disadvantage, abuse, neglect and systemic failure of our health, education, family support and youth justice systems of which they are the victims.
A telling contrast in The Examiner today - a fear-based, non-evidence-based, dog-whistling election policy from the Liberals (note the comment from Tas Police in the article), and the sensible call from Grant Herring in the letters page for evidence-based justice reform.
If you are a 10-yr government announcing a policy to respond to a high level of recidivism, the problems you should be trying to solve are the failures of your justice and corrections systems - clearly your problem isn't catching people who commit crimes, it's making sure the justice and corrections systems are genuinely rehabilitative. Instead, the Liberals have lurched to simplistic law and order vote grabbing by announcing a 'taskforce' and more police.
Self-interested vote grabs from major parties will not solve Tasmania's most difficult challenges - in fact, too often they simply entrench the problems that create those challenges. #politas
@trentonjhoare @themercuryphoto@themercurycomau I am genuinely interested in hearing your explanation on how and why this photo “screams toxic masculinity”? ☺️
BREAKING: Scott Morrison has just been seen boarding an international flight departing Sydney this evening — dressed as the entire flight crew. #auspol
I was just watching your box blonde DIY videos and you mentioned that colour correction was the most expensive thing you can do. Correct but look how awesome my hair turned out in one sitting! @bradmondonyc#SignedUpForTwitterJustToTweetYou
