The penny drops: We (the Australian public) own our resources (oil, gas, coal, iron ore, minerals etc) and we decide how they are to be exploited (or not). Our leadership priority must be to decarbonise - energy, transport, manufacturing, agriculture - across the economy.
Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but how on Earth are we supposed to believe we “can’t afford” paid family leave, universal pre-K, or climate action when our politicians are willing to pass an $858 billion annual defense budget without batting an eye?
It's here! Liar Liar #TrussMix is out today. Help us get it into the Top 40. The BBC can't ban this one. All profits from downloads til 13th Oct to foodbanks and @pplsassembly.
I would suggest everyone look at this photo particularly Journalists from News Corpse. Grace Tame shook this Mongrel’s hand I would like similar outrage when Scott Morrison refused to shake the Hand of then Opposition Leader Bill Shorten. If you want to vent your spleen do so.
Women do not have to smile for the camera beside men we do not like.
Grace Tame is not a public servant, a diplomat, a photo-op model or the property of the government.

When I was growing we had no money to buy books. All I had was my local library. I must have spent hundreds of hours in it. But for that library I might not have become a lawyer. Almost 800 have been closed under the Conservative Gov’t. It’s almost like they don’t want us to read
