Another public servant bites the dust who's job involved ensuring the welfare compliance machine stayed on – just one week after the 2nd Ombudsman's report on unlawful administration of penalties.
When will Labor deal with the real problem & end the thing?

Just a reminder the media org that has been trumpeting that it cares about kids and their futures and wants social media banned is the same that worldwide has been running climate change disinformation and lies, ensuring the kids will live in a worse world
The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.
Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?
That is more than 0.5C ago.

The big reason electricity cost so much is gas. Gas is the most expensive form of electricity generation (aside from battery) and yet often determines the price.
Tax gas exports, raise $17bn, help compensate households and also fund the transition to zero emissions

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Don't hear much from white Australia about the war on children the states are doing rn.
Are you comfortable with the thought your 10 year old child could be ripped from the safety of your home to spend months in a jail supervised by some of the most abusive humans in our society? For things like being with older kids that commit crimes and charged as an accessory?
