Denying hungry kids and women’s rights with David Crisafulli et al via @IndependentAus

Denying hungry kids and women’s rights with David Crisafulli et al

There is something wrong with our national priorities if we allow Crisafulli's LNP to prop up mining and development interests, and decide women's reproductive choices while denying hungry children.

So to recap: AG Porter is accused of rape — steps down as AG but stays in ministry. NO inquiry. Then accepts $1 million that has fallen from the sky —resigns to backbench. KEEPS money. Still NO inquiry. Porter is NOT sacked & PM pronounces matter closed. Sounds legit.

Um, some of the demands Pharmacy Guild presented to parliament: -Pharmacists are to be allowed clinical judgment to alter the quantity of 60-day prescriptions for patient safety. -Opioid treatment payments to be doubled. Perhaps they've been sampling the merchandise...

If not prison, maybe at the very least parliamentarians who break the law should forfeit their pension and the right to ever stand for public office again?

What a farce on #Insiders - for the record, the people who have been moved for medical reasons off Nauru and Manus have been moved by court order, which the Govt fought all the way! #KidsOffNauru #Nauru #Manus

Still waiting for the outrage from the mainstream media cabal over #friendlyjordies . But then, it is only arson and attempted murder - not bullying from the Twitter sewer, after all...

Friendlyjordies’ dangerous work met with firebombing attacks

The concerted attacks against comedian Friendlyjordies are simply not funny.

Every few years, Aus suffers a severe collective mental breakdown and forgets the shambolic previous Lib Party performances in govt, as evinced by Tony Abbott & Scott Morrison's election. No self-respecting democracy deserves Dutton via @IndependentAus

No self-respecting democracy deserves Dutton

Can Australians really be considering electing Peter Dutton – Australia’s Donald Trump – as our next prime minister?

Is it good for democracy, or for the country, for the media to keep beating up imagined disunity with the Opposition while ignoring the shambles within the Government?

My take on the Antoinette Lattouf sacking: Something stinks at Ita’s ABC and it’s not just the journalism via @IndependentAus

Something stinks at Ita’s ABC and it’s not just the journalism

Will ABC staff threatening a walkout following the sacking of journalist Antoinette Lattouf be a wake-up call for the national broadcaster?

As I was writing this week’s editorial, about the Liberal Party bonk ban and the ongoing problem Australia’s conservatives have with women, I felt so proud to be part of @independentaus and its dedication to fairness, equality and equity.

Every time I suffer through another excruciating #insiders episode under Speers – now basically an ad for the Government's talking points with a couple of criticisms thrown in for "balance" – I feel a little more violated.
