@Kristyg1@PeterBo49858290@mjrowland68 How about talking about the 900 items REMOVED from #Medicare by the Morrison government from July 1st 2021. These MEDICARE CUTS are hurting low income people & Pensioners right NOW! They must choose between food,rent, gas & electricity bills,medication or tests & scans. #Auspol
@Kristyg1@PeterBo49858290@mjrowland68 2. Our “free, fair and fearless media” is yet to go out in the streets or to a medical centres/hospitals or Radiology practices to interview patients,GPs or specialists to find out how #MorrisonsCuts to #Medicare are affecting REAL PEOPLE RIGHT NOW!! Instead like 4 yr olds they
@Kristyg1@PeterBo49858290@mjrowland68 3. fall for Morrison’s circus act and distractions like @KatherineDeves in Wentworth who is creating controversy with her statements on Transgender sportswomen. Wake up journos and do YOUR JOBS DAMMIT!! Deal with he real issues that matter to the VOTERS!!

@SophieScamps@KulskiTina 1. The National party under the leadership of #BarnabyJoyce are one of the major reasons for holding back progress, innovation and development within Australia.The Nationals price for supporting a minority Liberal government are expensive economically unjustified rural/regional
@SophieScamps@KulskiTina 2. pork barelling.For example the Beetrooter’s dams without environmental studies or approval by Infrastructure Australia,the experts. Trade deals that focus agricultural sector exports as if the manufacturing sector in Australia did not exist. The biggest insult of all to rural
@SophieScamps@KulskiTina 3. folk is the shady deal between the Liberal & National parties. The Liberal party agrees to NOT CONTEST rural seats if they are held by a National party MP. People living in the regions of NSW,Victoria, SA,WA & Tasmania are denied this choice at Federal elections. They can
3. If people and @AMAGenPractice want more cuts to Medicare,hospital and aged care funding then vote Liberal. However if people want increased spending on Defence and the purchase of American military hardware to further integrate the ADF into the US military then vote Liberal.
Read this comment and sign the petition. This is a very cruel act by Josh Frydenberg that sends a message to all voters not to challenge sitting MPs under S44. This is similar to the tactic used by other LNP ministers including … chng.it/mcsKGMqvXb via @ChangeAUS@AP@vmp9
2. Before the 2019 Federal election, a number of Federal Parliamentarians had been caught by Section 44 (i) of the Constitution, which among other things bars dual citizens from being MPs. Josh Frydenberg’s name was raised as being entitled to dual citizenship by descent from
3. his Hungarian mother. On the face of it, there was a case to be made. Frydenberg did not refer himself to the High Court to sort it out, nor did the Parliament. Instead, he twice asked the Hungarian Embassy to confirm he did not need to apply for a renunciation of any
2. their Children at Home while COVID is still out of control.
Peter Vogel,a public interest solicitor,is running a case against the idea that it is compulsory for children to go to school in the pandemic and that parents will be fined it they do not comply.
His argument is that
3. the government cannot guarantee the children's safety as they are not yet vaccinated * 2.
He wants to run a court case for parents to have the right to choose when they send their children to school.
You might note that QLD has put the start of school back by a fortnight.
2. NO RELATIONSHIP to its population. Each state has 12 Senators and 6 are elected at each general election.The Territories have 2 Senators each for a total of 76 Senators.
Tasmania with a pop of 525,678 people has far more say in the Senate than NSW pop of 8.2 million or
3. Victoria 6.7 million, Qld population 5.2 million, WA 2.81 million, SA 1.78 million, ACT 380,000 and the NT 251,396.
The number of Senate seats allocated to each State or Territory should reflect the size of their respective populations.
For example:
@SenatorWong@AlboMP Hi Penny and Anthony please read this: 👇👇👇👇counterpunch.org/2022/01/07/six… Western media & their political analysts have cast Putin’s demands that NATO not expand further east to Ukraine & that NATO not establish military bases in former Soviet states nor use them to carry out
@SenatorWong@AlboMP 2. military activity as bold and impossible. Here are six crucial pieces of background that the western media will not tell you. 1. February 9, 1990, Sec State James Baker assured Gorbachev that if NATO got Germany a huge concession NATO would not expand one inch east of Germany
@SenatorWong@AlboMP 3. The West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher made the same promise to his Soviet counterpart, Eduard Shevardnadz. Earlier, on January 31, 1990, Genscher had already publicly declared in a major speech that there would not be “an expansion of NATO territory to
