voting 1 Labor tells them that you like them moving further to the right. Voting 1 green and 2 Labor has a dual effect, it lets Labor know u want them to stop giving tax cuts to the wealthy, open more coal mines etc AND if Greens don't win it goes to Labor at full value anyway

I still don’t think people understand what it means for 33 million people to be displaced. That’s 6 times more people than those internally displaced in Ukraine from war, that’s roughly 90% of the population of Canada. That’s how many people are internally homeless right now

The Project is dragging itself further in the dirt each time Steve Price appears. Price should never get any air time on a show that suggests that it is contemporary, good faith and considerate. The other panelists should also take a stand and refuse to work with him.

Let's be clear: the Pakistani people did not do this to Pakistan –– we all did, and the high-emitting nations are most responsible. Unless we end our species' addiction to fossil fuels, every country in the world will remain in the crosshairs of the climate breakdown.

The Safer American Plan, aimed at reducing gun crime, is based on a "simple notion," says Pres. Biden: "The answer is not to defund the police; it's fund the police." He adds, "We expect them to do everything...to protect us, to be psychologists, to be sociologists."

It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.

Imagine if this was a white nation where 50 MILLION PEOPLE were affected and 1/3 of their entire country was under water. How much international aid do you think would be flooding in the country? How much news coverage would this have? Staunch RACISM

Labor's Stage 3 tax cuts will give as much to the richest 1% as to the poorest two thirds (65%) combined. These tax cuts will turbocharge economic & gender inequality - stripping $244 billion from the budget that should go into public services. They must be scrapped.

#EmmettTill was brutalized, dehumanized, and murdered 67 years ago today. This heinously racist lynching was in response to a lie. But even if it had been true, Emmett should still be here. There’s no justification. The work for justice continues. Emmett would be 81.

Labor: we care about the climate Also Labor: let’s open up vast new areas to extract more fossil fuel There is zero justification or rationalisation for this. Our democratic systems are incapable of dealing with the climate crisis. It’s time to rebuild them from the ground up.

BREAKING: The Labor government has just released 46,758 square kilometres of new ocean acreages for oil and gas exploration. Labor likes to talk big on climate, but when it really matters they’ll do exactly what their fossil fuel donors demand.
