AUSTRALIA HAS BEEN FUNNELLING TRUCKLOADS OF MONEY TO BIG MINING, FOREVER WARS, THE 1% AND THE BANKS!
It forgot about the people!

Oh wow! I put in a complaint about this police station for NOT being fit for service.
It’s a tiny QLDer with NO reception area. So you have to wait for police to come outside to see you. No seating, It’s a total safety and privacy issue.
The front phone also didn’t work and only last week, I called Policelink to report their mainline phones were out of order and had been for 3 weeks!
For $500k per month rent, I would expect a brand new state of the art office!
Over $100m spent on rent! Thats absolutely, bloody ridiculous! 😡😡😡

When Parliament returns, I’ll be introducing a private member’s bill to open ministers’ and lobbyists’ diaries, so we can all see who government members are meeting with, and when, where, and why.

We shouldn't underestimate the power of vagus nerve modulation. Today the potential for Parkinson's disease. Noninvasively.

So Helen Haines is still fighting for her life and Jillian Segal decides that now is the perfect time to attack Haines and others who think like her. This will cost you at the ballot box @AlboMP @SenatorWong @RichardMarlesMP @AustralianLabor
While Helen Haines recovers from her attack in hospital, Segal & her cronies attack her & others who share her progressive views opposing genocide & supporting international law as purveyors of hatred.
Truly grotesque.

Not much Nine/Murdoch coverage of new @Greens leader @DavidShoebridge’s cost of living (tax relief) ideas announced in his @PressClubAust speech 👇yesterday. Why’s that? Shoebridge wants to raise the tax free threshold to $26,000 as mortgagees prepare to be gouged again by Australia’s obscenely profitable banks as @RBAInfo cruelly pulls the % lever on Cup day.
YESTERDAY: Senator David Shoebridge, Leader of the Australian Greens and Senator for New South Wales, Addressed the National press club for the “Greens leader Address to the National Press Club”.
Watch the replay on ABC iview or on the National Press Club of Australia YouTube channel.

Pauline Hanson incoherently demands her claim that 94% of multicultural grants went to Labor seats be validated—then completely self-destructs when asked for a source.
Watt: “I’m not sure where those figures came from. Have you calculated that yourself?” 🤣 Trainwreck.

A vaccine that prevents cancer!
Cool
The vaccine for melanoma, described by experts as a “game-changer” cuts the risk of patients dying or cancer returning by 42 per cent, trials have found.
Intismeran, produced by Moderna, is custom-built for patients who have had a melanoma removed, using a sample of the growth. Its DNA is sequenced with AI to create the vaccine ⤵️

Department of Finance extended its temporary pause on new KPMG contracts to February 2027. This isn't dealing with the issue. When will Labor show some backbone & call these marauding cowboys to account? When will Labor acknowledge the evidence & ban KPMG?

A lil bit of political mischief at Sydney Uni this weekend! An absurdly delightful treat to join @cathywilcox1 and Safdar Ahmed for a workshop on comics, political cartoons and civil liberties at Honi Soit’s Student Journalism Conference. Huge thanks to @honi_soit and the lovely Sophie Wishart (also pictured!) for having me 🩵

The Prime Minister thinks HECS debts are a joke. Easy to say when you don't have one.
He should give up the comedy and concentrate on making our HECS system more fair, starting with getting rid of the horribly flawed Job-ready Graduates scheme, which doubled the cost of arts and law degrees.

Always worthwhile to meet @APAN4Palestine. But alarming to hear from outgoing UN Special Rapporteur for Food who described the deliberate campaign by Israel to withhold adequate food supplies to Palestinians. Genocide by other means.
