Old Hippy that has to wear a suit for work. Still believe in goodwill to all. A hopeless romantic that hopes for real justice for those who aren't heard.

Tehan says on @abc730 Dutton deported record number of people after setting aside AAT revocations. Removals from detention fell from 7102 in 17-18; 5550 in 18-19; 3284 in 19-20 & 1034 in 21-22. Looks like a major fall in removals from detention!!

Why is it that people expect the ALP to have all the answers to fix a problem overnight that's been on going for centuries? #auspol

Why do people think compassion is meant to be rationed like a rare commodity? Concern for women is met with “what about men?” Compassion for Gaza is met with “what about Israel?” Empathy doesn’t have to be a childish contest like fighting over the last biscuit.

Replying to @australian
Cater seems to not understand it was Dutton (in conjunction with Pezzullo) that made a mess of the immigration system. See reports from Nixon & Parkinson.

It is amazing that the LNP is lecturing Labor about how they should run the government. What we learnt from nine years of LNP rule is how NOT to run a government. #auspol

I’m appalled by the racism that Peter Dutton and the #WhiteAustraliaParty is driving because they think a “No” vote will be a knockout blow to Albanese. Dutton is nothing more than a thug, stirring up the Twitter Brown Shirts. Australia deserves better than Dutton…

Liberal MP Bridget Archer says Labor took the Voice proposal to an election and it's time for the Liberals to get out of the way. #auspol #VoiceToParliament

Robodebt shows the extent to which the Coalition was unfit to govern. Multiple senior figures within the party: Morrison, Tudge, Porter, Payne, Robert - displaying incompetence at best, perhaps willful indifference or worse.

I avoid MSM a lot these days. Not that I tuned in b4 much anyway. I’m over the conservative political sycophancy & the ‘restructuring’ of propaganda & misinformation to look like news. I’m also over the fetishism of reality TV. How did we get so far down this rank rabbit hole?

ANTI-VAXXER influencer who harassed people waiting in lines for vaccines, said only “idiots” get vaccinated, and called for Dr Anthony Fauci to be “hung from a rope” has died of Covid-19. Cirsten Weldon, unvaccinated, said “vaccines kill, don’t get it” — now she's dead. #auspol

This video on the cynical opportunism of the Murdochs and News Corp is 9 months old. But events have only strengthened its currency. So, yep, going to send it round again. Check it out. And if you agree, pls retweet. #newscorpse #MurdochRoyalCommission #MurdochGutterMedia

Brittany Higgins took on power - some of Australia’s most powerful - to seek justice. Australians are deeply indebted to her for her bravery in face of vicious political attacks, trolling, and gutter-media coverage of trial. Let’s get this trending folks - #YouDidUsProudBrittany

How odd that the Murdoch press tell lies about Dan Andrews
Sorry Sky News, Herald Sun, 3AW, etc — only one party leader has been referred by authorities to IBAC over potentially criminal matters, and it's not Dan. No amount of mud-slinging, obfuscation or reimagining reality will change that. #auspol

Many of us saw through Scott Morrison’s godawfulness and unworthiness to be PM a long time ago, but not the media. Many breathlessly praised him and failed to hold him to account. The media should reflect on their failure to do their job #insiders #auspol

Barnaby Joyce racked up $675K in expenses in 3 weeks as drought envoy. He says he sent texts to PM Scott Morrison who blocks FOI requests & refuses to hand over phone records. Retweet if you want a forensic audit & a police investigation with all documents made public. #auspol

Asked today about the far right thugs storming the shrine - a building dedicated to those who died at war - LNP Sen Amanda Stoker said it reflected lockdowns and heavy handed approaches. Retweet if like me that disgusts you.
