In light of the exposè on #Coles and #Woolworths this week, I’ll be removing all superlatives and referring to them simply as ‘markets’
#ColesWorth
Truth-telling is almost impossible for Indigenous Australians with a media industry more and more comfortable with propagating lies and misinformation

Anyone who voted No because of the threat to our constitution and democracy has no place to complain about the cost of the referendum because that is the price of our constitution and democracy in action.
#Referendum2023 #Auspol2023 #VoiceToParliament
A NO vote explicitly says “No, we shouldn’t listen to First Nations communities about what they need.”
Every other argument for NO is either a baseless aversion to change, a needless projection of fear, a sad manifestation of ignorance or a veiled expression of racism.

Think of the The Constitution of Australia as the menu you get in a restaurant. It doesn’t give you the recipe. That’s for the chefs in the kitchen… (politicians in Parliament) to decide on.
This #referendum is asking if the menu
is worth serving. The recipe will follow.
All this talk about the Voice creating an Us vs Them division fails to recognise that it ALREADY EXISTS! Closing the Gap is evidence of that.
15 out of the 19 recommendations have still yet to be achieved or have failed completely. Why?
Because we have lived, since federation, with governments that have made laws FOR Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, not WITH them.
It’s time we started to listen.
Vote smart.

Rant 1 of 3 /
Cricket just isn’t the same anymore.
Throwing a ball and hitting the stumps to get someone out (by the book) and it being called “not cricket” is just not cricket.
Having some old privileged white racists throwing barbs at the only brown skinned team member …
Rant 2 of 3 /
When three other white players had already passed them - yeah that ain’t cricket. And then an English tailender who refused to walk only a couple of seasons ago have the hide to tell Carey his legacy is ruined…
Could the #Logies2022 get any more cringey? Our TV industry talent deserve better than this
Lyrics to ‘$10 lettuce’
Ten dollar lettuce
How could you let us
Down?
Like knife through a cabbage
Your price is so savage
Frown
My burger is Leafless
My salad is Chiefless
Sigh
You cost more than my salmon
I curse lettuce famine
Cry
😥🥗🥬#lettuceshortage
I posted this just after 6pm. Might have underestimated ‘Others’! #auspol #ausvotes #scottsearlyretirement

Viewing the current Australian Federal election campaign through a brand strategy lens, it's alarming to see how benign political tacticians have become in pitching their brands and products to the public. #auspol #AusVotes2022

This is the stuff that will forge a stronger, more prosperous and liveable future for ALL Australians.
But where's the vision? Where's the courage of conviction? Where's the leadership with clear purpose and passion? #auspol #AusVotes22
Thread/12
Ambition, power and fear have replaced representation, integrity and courage in our political system. We need more than a plan to get us out of this rut. We need visionaries who dare to lose so that all of us may win. #auspol #AusVotes22
