75% of Labor MPs and 64% of Coalition MPs are property investors, including the Prime Minister. They all oppose the Greens push to cap rents, scrap the billions of dollars in tax handouts to property investors and invest in public housing. And they wonder why people are angry?

A standing ovation in the US Congress for Netanyahu is sickening.

In other countries he would have been arrested & charged for the crimes he is committing.

Instead he mocked the dead to thunderous applause from US representatives.

You cannot erase what we are witnessing.

The richest 1% are responsible for the same quantity of planet-wrecking greenhouse gases as two-thirds of humanity.

These are not natural facts. They are the result of humanity’s choices.

We can, and must, decide to do things differently.

Yep, should be stopped, asap.

Jewish Miriam Margolyes doesn't give two sh*ts about antisemitism accusations, she says it like it is, it looks like Hitler has won.

Medical journal Lancet has found that the total death toll in Gaza as a result of Israel's genocidal invasion could be 186,000 (7.9% of Gaza's population). The same proportion in Aus would be 2 million dead. So no, the Greens won't stop demanding sanctions on Israel.

Jews risking their life and limb to support Palestinian shepherds in their struggle to fend off settler terrorism. Respect!

Imagine running an organisation where you actively punish people for expressing different views.

This is @AustralianLabor.

If @SenatorPayman is forced out of the party our admiration and support for her will only increase.

All power to truth-tellers. Needed more than ever.

Whether the far right talks and dresses like Russell Brand or like Nigel Farage, it leads in only one direction: The persecution of minorities, scapegoating as a substitute for policy and the triumph of capital over humanity.

[Nick Feik @NickFeik]

This is devastating. The bullying and victimisation behind it is palpable. Poor woman.

Peter Dutton’s attacking Greens with the Trumpian language of a dictator, unchallenged by Labor who embraced him all week.

Peter Dutton in charge would be dangerous for Australia.

The PM may side with Dutton, but Greens will take him on and keep pushing for peace.

BIG FAIL ‘The combined effect of the budget’s major “cost-of-living measures”, including the tax cuts, will deliver a $6/wk increase to a single person relying on JobSeeker. Meanwhile, a single person earning $200,000 a year will receive an extra $93/wk https://t.co/BKCn9Q9VNH
