The PM benefited from a free university education. But he refuses to give young people that same opportunity. Today the Greens announce our plan to make university and TAFE free. In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to access a good quality education.

For Western consumers who feel screwed learning that their favourite brands manufacture in China for pennies and sell at eye-watering prices… imagine how the workers in China feel about this arrangement. That value belongs to them and they get only a small fraction of it.

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad. Which is also why you should share it.

I would have thought so, *if* we are applying the same standards to all people and parties. I think people that weight their values more heavily than the colour of a t-shirt get that.

l have been blocked by rusted on Labor voters who see any criticism of policy as heretic. Sorry, but complicity in Genocide, NACC, AUKUS, Jobseeker, lack of environmental protections etc surely deserve criticism.

If you’re not writing the truth about crimes against humanity, you’re culpable in them.

I write so much about the fake "antisemitism crisis" not only because it's being used to destroy civil rights throughout the western world, but because it's one of the most dark and disturbing things I've ever witnessed. It's been so intensely creepy watching all of western society mobilize around a complete and utter fiction in order to stomp out all criticism of a foreign state. It's about as dystopian a thing as you can possibly imagine, all these pundits and politicians pretending to believe that Jewish safety is seriously being threatened by an epidemic of antisemitism which must be aggressively silenced by any means necessary. All to silence opposition to the worst inclinations of a genocidal apartheid state and the complicity of our own western governments with its crimes. And we're all expected to treat this scam seriously. Anyone who says the emperor has no clothes and calls this mass deception what it is gets tarred with the "antisemite" label and treated as further evidence that we're all a hair's breadth from seeing Jews rounded up onto trains again if we don't all hurry up and shut down anti-genocide protests on university campuses. They're not just acting out a fraudulent melodrama staged to rob us of our rights, they're demanding that we participate in it by pretending it's not what it plainly is. It's not just tyranny, it's tyranny that orders people to clap along with it. It's such a disgusting, evil thing to do to people. Such psychologically dominating abusive behavior. The more you look at it, the creepier it gets.

Wild that urging the Australian government to acknowledge the reality of an authoritarian USA, like serious countries are doing, is met with 'that's unrealistic' critiques. This is a country of cowards that would prefer our politics to forever be in the realm of make believe.

They lied about beheaded babies so that they could kill babies. They lied about mass rapes so that they could systemically rape Palestinians. They lied about "human shields" to shield themselves while killing civilians. They lie about being victims so they can victimize others.

"If anyone ever asks you the disingenuous gotcha question, ‘Does Israel have a right to exist?’ the only response is to answer with another question: ‘Can Israel exist without committing genocide?’ At that point, you have a real discussion." Nailed it Dave ✊🇵🇸
