Peter Dutton’s line that having a strong public sector is about “pleasing the unions” is just wrong. It is about providing decent services to Australians, something he clearly doesn’t care about. He wants to return to mass outsourcing to their favourite consultants #insiders

Dutton said nothing about the hate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experienced during the referendum. Still today, Indigenous Australians cannot express an opinion without disgustingly racist responses on social media - almost always from Dutton supporters.

Today the Coalition made clear if elected they would sack public sector workers, cut their pay & return to funnelling our money to the big consultants. We lose jobs, pay, expertise, services & money spent in local communities. Good for consultants profits, bad for the country

The gender pay gap is the smallest on record because the Labor Govt:
1. Supported minimum wage increases
2. Banned pay secrecy clauses
3. Funded wage increases for aged care workers
4. Supported men to share in parental leave
6. Publishes gender pay gap of individual employers

How happy are flight attendants after getting pay rises because of Labor’s Same Job, Same Pay laws! Unions fought for over a decade to shut down the big business wage cutting loopholes. The Coalition voted against & Dutton is promising mining companies he will bring them back

Another gutful for Pauline, then...
Federal Court rules that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson racially vilified Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi in a tweet telling her to “piss off back to Pakistan”. smh.com.au/national/nsw/paul…

Gina Rinehart and Peter Dutton's 2024 (that we know of):
- Peter flies to her party in the Pilbara on private jet
- 12 hours flying for less than an hour at her party in Perth
- Gina's Brisbane mansion for Liberal fundraiser
- Gina buys a table for Peter's fundraiser last night

$7.5 billion dollars in subsidies every year, massive cost blowouts and years of delay……
“We should copy the Canadians” says Peter Dutton.
“You’re crazy if you do” say the Canadians.

Loved visiting Berry Public School to celebrate #WorldTeachersDay & speak to our students. I’m a proud alumni & wouldn’t be where I am without quality public education
We need to fully fund our public schools @AlboMP @JasonClareMP @PublicSchoolsAU @AEUfederal @PEFOZ @JaneCaro

When the Albanese Govt was elected workers had suffered a decade of wage suppression, growing job insecurity & a myriad of big business wage cutting schemes. The previous Coalition Govt made wage suppression a “design feature” of their economic management 🧵 1/2

Brilliant. And so true.
Dutton is creating uncertainty and division again in his own self interest.

If the media treats Dutton’s Nuclear Reactor policy like they did the Voice referendum, there should be headlines about him not giving Australians the detail yet, and right up until he announces where they will be, how much they’ll cost, & what year they will be built by. #auspol

Help us call on Cumberland Council to reverse the damaging motion that removed same-sex parenting books from libraries across the area!

Sam Kerr’s case has created immensely important conversations and exposed gaps in Australia’s knowledge, including mine.
I am not at all surprised to have got this wrong, apologise to Sam for reaching the wrong conclusion and am very pleased to be able to improve my advocacy.

Samantha Murphy was a business woman, an athlete, a valued theatrical community member, a mother, sibling and daughter who was so loved by her community that they searched for her for weeks - allegedly murdered by some #goodbloke whose parentage is totally fucking irrelevant.
