maybe selling an $8 megaphone to anyone in the public square and offering them direct monetary incentive for impressions during hyper-sensitive geopolitical events isn’t all that beneficial to society or the health of the public conversation

So, so important. We have a #MSM largely incapable of interrogating the outright, calculated lies of a self-interested political class holding this nation back in every way. Support @zalisteggall & @zdaniel . We need the strongest possible Truth in Media (Stop the Lies) legislation and we need it right now. #integrity
Last year, I tabled my Stop the Lies Bill to legislate against misleading & deceptive political & referendum advertising.
The Government failed to support it for the referendum.
Will they act now?

I was a descendant of convicts. On both sides. Within 10 years one was a blacksmith and other married to a cop. In that time tens of thousands of indigenous Australians were slaughtered. How can anybody find the two experiences analogous?

Instead of us being constantly disappointed by celebrities we should probably just start with the assumption that most of them are total assholes.

The Voice Referendum: Dont know? then how about you find out. Theres enough information out there and we live in the internet age with information at our fingertips. Dont know, say no is just advocating ignorance.

Government policy is failing Indigenous people. Money is spent on the wrong responses. The gap is not closing. The incarceration rates are a national disgrace. We can and must do better. YES takes us a step in the right direction to fixing these issues. No takes us nowhere.

The average full-time worker is earning around $3700 extra per year since the @AlboMP @AustralianLabor Government came to office - getting wages moving again is a key part of our plan to ease cost-of-living pressures #auspol #ausecon news.com.au/finance/work/new…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Despite a 3.6% rise in wages over the last year, inflation has run at 6% meaning wages in real terms have declined during the same period.

Murdoch media made Americans look like morons, made Brits kick themselves between the legs and now is going to make Australia look like one of the most racist in the world. Can’t we please do something about the RW capture of Aus media? It’s killing us.

What’s funny is this has nothing do with free speech and everything to do with the fact Elon is probably one of the most blocked people on Twitter
