If you rule out the real estate speculators in Brand, I get the feeling an influx of Americans in the Rockingham region may not be a popular feeling.
Pressure on schools, affordable housing, etc.
The member for Brand had better take stock.
No to #AUKUS

Editorial: Monique Ryan’s bill would stop ministers and senior staff from working as lobbyists for three years after they leave politics. It would reveal who lobbyists meet and force ministers to publish their diaries. The reforms are simple and effective and will not pass. satpa.pe/HL0EtFi

Christopher Pyne was still a cabinet minister when he met with EY to discuss taking a job with the consultancy. There was no confusion about the purpose of the meeting.

It’s #MelbourneCup Day tomorrow. If you insist on perpetuating the exploitation that comes with gambling, just go to the pokies like every other loser.

You can still dress up and get wasted but at least that way you’re not enabling the suffering & probable death of another horse.

Welfare payments are increasingly conditional and subject to the whims of profiteering job agencies - who can't even help people find work!

We must stop expecting Labor to be better. Maintaining an underclass of people living in permanent precarity is part of their business model.

Barnaby Joyce on Sky News claims that solar & wind are “not renewables”
“Let’s call them angel power.” 🤦‍♂️

So Sussan’s dilemma is whether to stay tied to Net Zero, or to blokes like this? 🤔 Is it really that hard a decision?

We love these photos from the Planet Fungi book launch at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne last month!

Hosted by co-author Dr Tom May, this event was a celebration of both the book & the wonders of the fungal kingdom. 🍄

"Researchers also reported a societal shift towards “a strong animal ethics sentiment combined with a more generalised disdain towards the racing industry and its wider societal ramifications” i.e. gambling, alcohol abuse, antisocial behaviour, domestic violence #NupToTheCup #AnimalWelfare #Auspol 🏇

The Cup is still Australia’s biggest one-day race gambling event. But there are signs it’s no longer stopping the nation like it used to.

Aus is supposed to be a country where the rule of law & natural justice applies. The Gov’s sneaky attempt to strip welfare from people before they’ve been convicted of any crime is a fundamental breach of these principles. We may as well dissolve the court system. #auspol #politas
