It’s almost 2yrs since the day Commissioner Catherine Holmes handed down her final report on Robodebt & referred those responsible for criminal prosecution. It was a day we felt like finally something was happening.
I’m so sorry to all victims who are STILL waiting for justice.

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

Why is Dutton all about the blokes? Because everytime the Liberal party tries to soften his image, his vote goes down. The men who support him only like the hard guy costume and women don’t like pretend multifaceted guy. Dutton created his own monster and now he’s stuck
"By my count, it took until day 14 of the campaign for Dutton to be photographed with a young woman (who is not a member of, or candidate for, the Liberal Party) .. "

Is Peter Dutton aware that women... can vote?
In 2022, Scott Morrison made bungled, offensive comments about women. Three years later, Peter Dutton is just ignoring women altogether.

Coalition politicians have continued to downplay Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s apparent referencing of Donald Trump’s signature Make America Great Again slogan at an election rally, calling it a “slip of the tongue” even as images emerge of the shadow minister and her husband wearing Maga hats just months ago.
The Nationals leader, David Littleproud, called it a “slip of the tongue” when Price, the shadow minister for government efficiency and Indigenous Australians, told a campaign rally she wanted to “make Australia great again” on Saturday. The senator later claimed she hadn’t “even realised” she made the comments, then accused the media of being “obsessed” with the US president.

House prices are rising faster than people can save.
If you earn the average male full time income (more than 80% of people) and started saving 10 years ago, you'd be no closer to buying a house today.
