When politicians talk about unemployment as a single number, they erase this reality. The barriers facing older people, the single parents juggling caring responsibilities, people with disabilities still battling discrimination, & people who don’t have qual, & money for transport. #Auspol #Jobseeker

Independent media has a future when young authors have opportunity, support, mentoring, and resources to share their fresh perspectives and inventive solutions freely and fearlessly. P&I supports young writers. Can you help? #auspol #fundraising

Friends, can I ask a favour. Our latest Honest Government out is a serious warning to Canada from Australia, which acts as a cautionary tail about the harms of the gas (LNG) export industry... Hence the cameo (spoiler alert) from our own aussie climate criminals, Woodside Energy 1/🧵

Rent doesn’t differ if you're 19 or 21. So why should your wage? Same work, same rent, same bills — same pay.

People are like “the problem with you leftists is you’re annoying” Yes. We know we are annoying. We annoy each other all the time. We are insufferable but we are also correct.

This is such a hunbling read. We're all just one or two life events away from losing everything. Never assume it can't be you. Heart goes out to Alison and anyone else living in financial hardship. Govt priorities are out of kilter with realities. Not good enough. #auspol #poverty #AntiPovertyWeek

Shameful. 12 First Nations people have died in NSW custody this year - the highest annual total ever. These are not just ‘profoundly distressing’ statistics. This devastating loss of life continues Australia’s history of colonial violence through the ‘justice’ system.

Brilliant speech. 👏👏👏

They really are…

So AWS and NU are choosing to defend the indefensible (using public money), rather than admit to this error and fixing it? Seems to be something of an organisational reflex in Australia in the 2020s, and surely an indicator of leadership failure & ethical corruption. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
