I have created a special news thread on the soft - side and big heart of Peter #Dutton that you can share with relatives who start believing it after being inundated with months of this via #Murdoch press. Let's go! #auspoll #auspol

The #UluruStatement sequence is key. A Voice to Parliament protected by the Constitution, then a Makarrata Commission for treaty & truth telling. This was settled by the USFH process & should not be re-litigated. Below are some points on why this is key for Voice & Treaty #auspol
Questions have been asked about the advisory only nature of the Voice, implications about its lack of power, and about it ceding Indigenous sovereignty or rights. None of this is correct (has been disproven multiple times) & misunderstands challenges faced #UluruStatement #auspol
Treaty has been the important goal for the Indigenous community for a reason. It remains part of the #UluruStatement for that same reason. But Treaty, because of our local circumstances & history, cannot deliver on the expectations that are attached to it. #auspol

An Albanese Labor Government will be on your side, but they need our help to win the next election. I have donated to fund their campaign, WILL YOU? Australia simply cannot afford another term of a Morrison led government. No effective action on global heating, death of the GBR,
2. more frequent and far more dangerous bushfires leading to death & property damage, more frequent and violent hail & rain storms as a consequence of rising av global temps. Extinction of more species i.e the koala, parrots, frogs etc due to fire, flood and over development.
3. Austerity measures that will hurt those least able to afford it (Pensioners, the disabled & the unemployed) more cuts to Medicare & hospitals and the list goes on.

A fella could despair over the reporting of the crumbs the Morrison has tossed the ABC today - it seems almost nobody can work out a percentage, let alone divide a figure by 3 when it's a triennium. And as for going back to Budget papers to check, hah. #OurABC #auspoll
To be clear, the "increase" being reported as some sort of victory is 2.7% - SFA after the years of freeze - $29m a year. It'd barely cover Morrison's photo ops. And that's going off Fletcher's questionable media release. The alleged return to indexation "outlined in the May 2021
Budget papers" is by no means clear - indexation at what rate? Perspective on the universally reported "$87.2m increase over the triennium": it's only a $74.6m increase on the 2021-22 Budget's relevant figure multiplied by 3. Add the annual increase of $29 to the Budget's

My best buddy, a lawyer in London, spoke to me today about the debacle. I’m surprised, she said, the Australian government did the right thing in regards to Djokovic. My answer:
hey are like Boris; they have no basis upon which they do the right thing; they always act according to political stuntism. Everything they do is for the wrong reasons. They are in there just to rip off the system of democracy for their own benefit.
So, if they ever do the right thing, it is to fix a mistake.
