There are many reasons to vote Labor on 21 May and justice for those devastated by the illegal Robodebt scheme is one of them.
“We’ll find you, we’ll track you down and you will have to repay those debts and you may end up in prison” - Alan Tudge 2016. Labor will hold a royal commission into the illegal Robodebt scheme before the year is out. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Smart Energy Council’s John Grimes has roasted the “Tin Foil Hat Brigade Poppycock” LNP over their Nuclear proposal saying it’s “all about attacking Renewables & boosting Fossil Fuels.”
Grimes calls out Dutton’s big list of fibs on Renewables inc his “1.4 Trillion Dollar Lie”🔥
What extraordinary Australians @LindaBurneyMP and @BOConnorMP are, what extraordinary contributions and sacrifices they have made, and what a privilege to share a small part of that journey with them.

Whether you’ve dedicated decades or minutes to the simple question being posed today, this referendum is a precious opportunity to move closer to becoming one country. Voting YES will enable much needed improvements in health, education and justice outcomes for Indigenous people.

How you vote is totally up to you but we’ve decided to run a radio advertising campaign urging people not to fall for all the bullshit that’s being thrown around by the NO campaign. Just don’t let anyone treat you like a mug - if you don’t know, find out! yes23.com.au/vote_yes

Amazon invited some parliamentarians who have raised concerns about Amazon to visit their site in Sydney. The parliamentarians wanted @SDAunion the local reps for Amazon workers to come too. Parliamentarians welcome…unions not #makeamazonpay

“The referendum by itself, from my perspective, from a human rights perspective, and from the jurisprudence point of view, is not about a race issue and ought not to be,”

Former Coalition minister for Indigenous Australians Ken Wyatt rejects Peter Dutton’s claims about the Voice being a “Canberra Voice”
“that's far from the truth… it's not a Canberra Voice. It is not elites. It is people from the grassroots”

We’re investing in our national museums, archives and galleries.
After a decade of neglect under the Liberals, we’re stepping in to help because cultural institutions belong to all Australians.
