It's called widespread fraud. It's called gerrymandering. It's called paying for votes. It's called installing Republicans in the electoral college. This feels so dirty! All I know is that Merrick Garland better spend the next two months with a microscope up the election commission's ass and verify every single last vote Casted. And it probably wouldn't hurt to remember that Joe Biden is our president now and thanks to the supreme court that Trump installed, the current president has the power and can keep it.

How do you explain the bomb threats at elections offices! That was straight up election interference and it worked!

We will be told “ the voters never get it wrong “ and “we can work with any President”. I beg to differ. Electing a President with Trump’s record is appalling, beyond belief and not in Australia’s national interests. We have sacrificed our independence to a dysfunctional nation!

So @abcnews have daily, on all news/current affairs, bashed @AlboMP for buying a house. This is stalking and harassment. The behaviour of management to allow this sht to continue is deplorable. Kim Williams do ur job or get out. Enough is enough.

Like millions of everyday Australians, I'm thankful I have super. The #LNPPrivlilageParty want to destroy super, not for our benefit but for theirs.

For too long, the narrative in Australia has been dominated by the interests of big business. Corporate lobbies exert enormous influence, often distorting public debates and leaving the needs of workers sidelined.

Close correlation with CEOs who cosplay homeless people for their annual 'look at me I care about the poor people' media opportunity

Perhaps @TheRealPBarry & @ABCmediawatch could ask The Australian why they chose to feature a photograph of an Aboriginal man to accompany a story on an evil crime in the Northern Territory, when in fact the unspeakable crimes were committed by this white fella #auspol #NTpol
Deeply disturbed by the @australian today. The excellent journalist Paul Toohey has written a powerful piece on NT Crime. Here is how it appears on the app. Note the wild-eyed Aboriginal man…/1

Everyone should read this thread from Hugh Riminton. It highlights once again the depraved agenda by the Australian newspaper to paint First Nations People in the worst possible way. Albanese claims social media is a threat to society. This shows Murdoch media is a greater threat

From Australian cartoonist David Rowe tonight. David Rowe is brilliant, unlike 90% of the Australian press.

Queensland Premier Steven Miles will be attacked for comments on CCTV, nightly news bulletins & youth crime. However, there's research here on what he's saying & the impact it has on all young people to be constantly thought of as a criminals. #qldpol theconversation.com/why-the-…

Did you know that from the time Angus Taylor entered parliament in Sept 2013, companies & organisations the Taylor family have managed, directed or are directly associated with have benefited from over $113,000,000 in fed & state government funds? (crd Jommy T, Ronni Salt)

"Farmers" - ahhh, it used to have a special ring to it, a special kind of gritty respect. But now, I think of Barnaby Joyce and Angus Taylor ripping off water rights and those pieces of ... who wreck the country, abuse vulnerable workers & rest on the laurels of the past.
Replying to @JJKALE2
A Vietnamese tourist over stayed and was not really allowed to work here. She had 10,000 in unpaid wages and the Farm said if they pressed for it they would tell immigration. They did, and sure Immigration booted her out but only warned the Farm. Zero deterrent not to break law.

The Taliban issued a ban last week on women’s voices. They have created the worst women's rights crisis in the world today, distilling their hatred of women into the perfect patriarchy, a template for the total control of women. feministgiant.com/p/fist-in-…

The Coalition have just announced that they are planning on $100b of CUTS! What are they planning on cutting? CUTS to Health! CUTS to Medicare! CUTS to Education! CUTS to Bulk billing! CUTS to PBS! What will it be this time? Or will they RAISE the GST Rate?

BWI condemns the Australian government’s takeover of @CFMEU_CG. Workers have the right to elect their leaders, as protected by ILO Convention 87. Accusations aren’t proof; presumption of innocence matters. Return CFMEU to its members! #Solidarity Read: bwint.org/cms/bwi-condemns-a…
