Chris Minns thinks he’s Donald Trump - accusing protesters of violence when there is so much footage of police brutality.
You can’t gaslight us, @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social
We know exactly what we saw & who ordered it.
This is so un-Australian. We DO NOT brutalise legitimate & peaceful protesters.

The AFR's Phil Coorey has posted an unhinged, unfactual, fear-mongering piece, falsely equating pro-Palestine protests with anti-Semitism, claiming they chant "kill the Jews". This has been proven to be untrue. Coorey's op-ed is unfactual and dangerous. 😠 #BondiBeachShooting

@australia.theguardian.com about "Anywhere but Canberra"? As Holli said, in the recent article on her, she'd like to see rent caps. Perhaps she'd like to know the ONLY place in Australia where housing isn't completely unaffordable, due to its rent caps, is Canberra. No thanks to ALP or Liberals.

It's a good idea to not gut the public service.
History has shown us that when you cut public service jobs, you don’t save the nation a single cent. It costs the country more because work is then carried out by expensive contractors and consultants.

This practice also normalises data theft, particularly from vulnerable populations. It's high time it was outlawed altogether, but until that happens it would be the bare minimum of decency for parties to stop doing it.

Its always been true but this is the first time a major party has admitted the obvious. Next step, we need to tax the gas industry!
