The @Greens welcome legal action being brought by @savechildrenaus against the Australian Government for failing to retrieve Australian mothers & children who have been detained in Syrian camps for far too long. #auspoI
@savechildrenaus has described the camp conditions as ‘the worst place in the world to be a child’. Labor have had over a year and still 40 are suffering there. #auspol
It is a disgrace that both parties of government have failed these Australian citizens over the years. It's wonderful to see @savechildrenaus taking this action and the @Greens will support them every step of the way. #auspol
1. I am going to start an endless thread calling for the uni fee increases to be undone.
It will start very respectful. I’m very hopeful @JasonClareMP et al will do the right thing, on this and many other issues.
But I will not let the issue slide away like last time.

2. My welcome to government let’s get it done greeting belongs in this endless thread:
3. And this one. That the LNP did this to our kids and young adults despite what they went through the past couple of years was intolerable.
But I know Labor know this and anticipate a fix is close.

A thread 🧵(not exhaustive by any means) about the appalling conduct of media during this entire election & those who have called it out. Starting with @timdunlop & a scorching analysis of both the LNP & media bastardry. #auspol #AusVotes2022

Former trade minister Andrew Robb has quietly ceased his controversial $880,000 per annum consultancy with a company closely linked to the Chinese government, as the deadline looms for lobbyists for overseas state interests to sign up to Australia’s new foreign influence register
Mr Robb’s consultancy with the leaseholder of the Darwin Port, Landbridge, was trumpeted by the Chinese-government aligned company in 2016, but became intensely controversial. Why isn’t #ScottyTheCompletePsycho talking about this. It seems very relevant now.
It’s estimated that Mr Robb pocketed more than $2 million plus expenses from Landbridge. A company document revealed that Mr Robb’s consulting contract was so vague and ill-defined he would be paid even if he did nothing.
NSW Media Conference with Perrottet, Hazzard & Dr Chant 10am today. I'll watch & live tweet below. It's way better with good company, so set an alarm for 9:55am, pop the kettle on & join me, if you like.

Okay I'm standing by. ABC's YouTube link for the NSW Media Conference is here. I wonder if they'll delay because the PM is speaking?
Given everything that’s been happening in the world, I think it’s time to revisit the subject of #ActiveMeasures.
Not just for Soviets anymore.
A 🧵.

When the Kremlin launched its weaponization of social media prior to 🇺🇸 2016 election, there was great concern that other malignant actors would quickly adopt these techniques.
They did.
They did.
Now, not only state-actor operations, but for-hire malign influence operations are reaching epidemic proportions as well, in countries around the world. (nytimes.com/2021/07/25/wor…) #disinformation #propaganda #ActiveMeasures
Thus far, Treasury & RBA have shown a lack of imagination, the small scale of their actions indicating they didn't grasp the size of the crisis & were behind the game even as they announced their first steps. They've realised their mistake...

big question now is how far they are prepared to go tomorrow to correct it.
Do they have both the imagination and nerve to make the big leap to instill a some confidence by getting ahead?
Odds are RBA will be predictable and mimsy - 25 points and QE bond buying. That's not...

Weary?
I am.
There’s so much I don’t like going on, stuff that scares me.
To cheer myself up I thought I’d write a list of things I’d like to happen, in #auspoI and the world:
1. An emissions trading scheme.
2. Indigenous voice to Parliament
3. #changethedate
4. Federal ICAC

Here’s you - 6 months ago, as our Energy Minister! - launching an off grid, solar powered, battery powered school. Yup. You!

If the video doesn’t jog your memory, here’s your own quote from it...
“Put simply, this is a classroom that has solar cells on its roof. It’s got a battery and that means it doesn’t have to connect up to the grid.
The reason this is so important is it delivers very significant savings.”
Couldn’t agree more, and apparently...

So do you, as you issued this press release on your own website as Minister environment.gov.au/minister/taylo…
You even quantified the savings as $3k/classroom/year and a $30k connection fee!
And then you went and stole @ScottMorrisonMP’s favourite line about the sun not shining...

Hi! I thought it might be useful to start a #AusVotes19 welfare thread pulling together some of the interesting news and analysis that emerges during the election campaign. There have already been a few great pieces. (I'll also shamelessly plug my own work.) #auspol
.@DawsonEJ makes the case for making the best of Labor's "root and branch" #Newstart review. Demand it is fast, wide-ranging, and the increases it delivers are sufficient, she says smh.com.au/politics/feder… #AusVotes19 #auspol
@DawsonEJ Waleed Aly today argues that, despite all the talk of a fair go from Morrison and Shorten, "#Newstart remains stalled because, for now at least, our notion of fairness is tied to the worker." theage.com.au/politics/feder… #AusVotes19 #auspol
