Members of The Coalition, including former PM John Howard, signed an open letter to the PM wanting stronger action on gambling reform. It’s patently clear that the only thing standing in the way of gambling reform is the PM himself. #auspol #politas
The Albanese govt loves to say job done on climate change, but today’s report by @australiainstitute.org.au shows the Safeguards Mechanism just isn’t working. Dodgy offsets mean big polluters continue to pollute, and even increase their emissions. This must be fixed. #auspol #politas
CGT and negative gearing concessions were overly generous and helped fuel the housing crisis. I supported today’s changes, as I’ve long campaigned for reform. As things stand at the moment however the Gov has a lot of work to do to get the rest (e.g. trust changes) done right. #auspol #politas
These are just some of the reasons the Parliament should get to work on passing a national Human Rights Act like the one I tabled this week #auspol #politas
The Government and Opposition are avoiding meaningful gambling reform because, in their heart, they have no humanity #auspol #politas
Australia has much more to do to address men’s violence against women. This Gov is doing better than its predecessors, but women are still being attacked and murdered. We must listen better to advocates, survivors and families because they know what else must be done #auspol #politas
The ICJ has ruled that govts and orgs are obliged not to lend any form of support to illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine. So I again implore the Aus Govt to take meaningful action to hold Israel to account. To do anything less makes us complicit. #politas #auspol
The NDIS changes were debated in Parliament last night and I made a point of giving voice to a family that would be impacted by the proposed reforms.
Yes reform is needed, but not like this. This bill will be detrimental for many NDIS participants and unless it's amended I will oppose it. #auspol
AUKUS is the biggest defence project in Australian history and yet it still hasn't been properly scrutinised. Good on the Australian Peace and Security Forum for establishing the AUKUS Public Inquiry. Submissions can be made here aukuspublicinquiry.netlify.app #auspol #politas
