Hey @dyrenfurth just fact checking your latest podcast.
We’ve contested every federal election except one since 1977. We just submitted our application to register in Victoria to contest the state election.
We’re definitely not dead.

We also want to see the unfair 'Job-Ready Graduates' fee hikes scrapped, with a long-term transition back to fee-free public university and TAFE.
Let's fix the indexation loophole now—and then let's fix the broken system. 🤝🎓

The media is focused on the minimum wage announcement, so the Albanese government announces that they're going to start cancelling Centrelink payments again using the exact same unlawful tool.
Millions of payment suspensions are still happening, the system is not offline.

All too rare. @FinancialReview should ask permission to reprint it
A well-argued rejoinder to the bilious tide of saint-claiming going on right now. From a business owner/originator who clearly knows what he’s talking about. Bravo

The NACC resignation could be a turning point.
Integrity agencies exist to hold public power to account. But recent controversies show they also need strong safeguards of their own.

Today is National Sorry Day. It is a day of deep reflection for all as we remember and honor the Stolen Generations - the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed from their families, language, culture, and Country.
🖤💛❤️

This bill attempts to rewrite the Sex Discrimination Act to strip away hard-won legal protections for transgender and gender-diverse Australians.
Everyone deserves to live authentically and safely. Let’s stand together against hate and division. 🏳️⚧️❤️

1. Share this post to raise awareness about the legislative push against trans safety.
2. Contact your federal MP. Let them know that you support a fair, inclusive Australia and they should reject the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Sex-Based Rights) Bill.
3. Sign the petition 👇

Don’t cry over possible changes to capital gains tax discounts without knowing how it even applies please.
You pay CGT when you SELL a house that is NOT your main residence AND you make a PROFIT on the sale price.
How often are YOU selling investment properties?
