So though I’m loathe to give ley any extra attn- I keep coming back to her statement on gov spending /dependency culture….( Grattan podcast I think) she made comment about size /cost of public service… it’s not just welfare she’s after…She’s keeping the public service cuts imo Learnt nothing #auspol

The complete opposite is happening. Secrecy, eroding of education, punishment of whistleblowers… Our task is to build social, educational and political environments in which thinking feels safe, discomfort is tolerable, and the search for truth is less frightening than the maintenance of illusion.

Chrisafulli gov ignoring women’s deaths …. If they’re well behaved little women, they’ll have more babies and make more scones #auspol #qldpol

ANU: “Widely circulated claims of out-of-control mass immigration in Australia are false and misleading and stem from the incorrect reporting of tourism and travel data that has nothing to do with migration”👇

Immigration should be viewed as a good, positive thing. It keeps our economy up. Not only to fulfil labour needs, but because our population demographic would otherwise be getting much older. Older people tend not to spend much. Without immigration, our economy would tank. #auspol

Wilcox strikes again 🤣 #auspol

ANU Professor Alan Gamlen explains that net overseas migration (NOM) — the number of migrants arriving in Australia minus the number of migrants departing Australia — is in fact falling sharply and has been since June 2023. #auspol Keep it on repeat
