RETWEET if you stand with ABC News reporter Terry Moran against Stephen Miller!

Another spectacular Coalition backflip: now they’re dumping EV tax incentives.
EVs ⬇️ emissions, save drivers $$ & are good for 🇦🇺 fuel security. Incentives help create a second hand market to make EVs more affordable. Scrapping support makes no sense.

LNP are predictably talking big on defence. They’ve done that before. Yet they’re the folk who spent $4B not buying French subs and presided over a long parade of other procurement disasters, including starting the #AUKUS shambles. No credibility. #auspol afr.com/politics/federal/dut…

Pezzullo was sacked for breaching the government code of conduct and Dutton wants him back. That tells us everything we need to know about Dutton's respect for morality, decency and the law. Dutton is unfit for public office, let alone the PMship. #auspol

In 2022, the Coalition lost an election in which the biggest issue was climate change.
In 2025, they’re going to the election without a single policy which would decrease our carbon emissions in the next 10 years.

Aside from "who decided what & when", I'll remind you what Melbourne faced. A new, highly infectious virus, with high mortality rates & terrifying overseas experience. If you're looking at #COVID19 through a purely political lens, you won't understand.

Two decades on, former prime minister John Howard considers the lack of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a "setback" but stands by the decision to join the United States in its invasion. ow.ly/hcCz50UyrRK

Howard has learnt nothing. He still tries to justify immoral spying on a friendly neighbour, Timor, as ‘in the national interest’. That’s false. It was in Woodside’s interest and it poisoned relations with Dili for over a decade. Dumb and shameful! #auspol afr.com/politics/federal/eas…

Hey dogwhistlers @PeterDutton_MP, Peta Credlin: just ask any forensic pathologist. There is only one race - the human race. Characteristics like skin/eyes are infinitesimal. In DNA/genomic terms we humans are all related including our indigenous brothers and sisters.

For decades, Australia has failed to collect enough income from our mineral and fossil fuel resources.
We’re still collecting more on HECS than from the PRRT, the super-profits tax on oil and gas.
Successive governments have failed the next generations. This needs fixing.

Remember when the Pharmacy Guild’s Trent Twomey cried over 60 days scripts? 665 pharmacies would close. 20,000 job losses. The end of civilisation as we know it (ok, I made that last one up). So I checked with the Health Dept. Here’s what REALLY happened: smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Editorial: Peter Dutton is convincing the electorate he is brave by vandalising the environment and harassing the country’s most disadvantaged. He has learnt to say the stupid thing and tell people it is smart. satpa.pe/9UNS3jw

Disclosure standards for members and senators are necessarily high. @PeterDutton_MP sets the standard for the whole coalition and so MUST disclose the high level nature and value of the pro-bono advice he’s received from Arnold Bloch Leibler. #test #auspol smh.com.au/politics/federal/…
