People are complaining the government won`t tell them to get covid booster shots or wear masks in public places or even social distance
The hospitals are over-run with cases, so too aged care facilities, schools also will be when the re-open 2
The last govt got it`s "let it rip" wish around 6 months prior the election
Reporting of cases pretty well ceased both by govt & media & 2022 saw the most deaths from covid
I spent several months in Kalgoorlie & Perth going to the hospital daily to visit my patient wife

A message to @Greens supporters who want to keep the Climate Change War going & keep enabling LNP/IPA/Murdoch interests👇

You better get yourself a conspiracy theorist friend, you're going to need one to understand what's about to take place. Rudd/Labor 2009 ETS was based on the EU ETS using the Kyoto Protocol as the yardstick
Kyoto said a 20% reduction target was needed At That Time
The reason @Greens gave for supporting the LNP ETS rejection was the target was too low [wanting 40% in 2009} ec.europa.eu/clima/eu-actio…

This is why I tell people I’m a ‘Green’ by name only.
I’m in Parliament to get things done not to oppose things for the sake of wreaking havoc or creating a meme. We need an end to the politics of division so we can overcome a decade of damage, denials and delays.
One more thing, if the @Greens don’t respect the mandate of Government & want to ‘upend the agenda’ that’s their decision but they’ll have to vote with the Liberal Nationals

The proposal announced today to develop a major hydrogen project in the south-east corner of our State is an exciting prospect.
As we all know, Western Australia has plenty of wind, and plenty of sun. We're the perfect spot for major renewable projects. 2
In particular, the emerging hydrogen industry presents a great opportunity for our State by converting renewable energy into a clean fuel that can be transported or exported.
Hydrogen has the potential to help our State, and the world, towards a clean energy future,

Scott Morrison has neglected aged care. He's cut billions from aged care. And he's shown zero contrition for any of it.
He should be ashamed.
Morrison's decisions as Treasurer in 2016 stripped billions of dollars out of the aged care system. 2
This is funding that would otherwise have gone into this vital sector - a sector that's currently in crisis - to look after our frailest citizens.
At Labor’s request, the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) independently costed the effect of Scott Morrison’s Budget changes to

Grace Tame. Brittany Higgins. Dhanya Mani. Their stories remind us that women in Australia are not safe.
Violence and sexism is rife, and our leaders are failing to address it. 2
We need major cultural change, and it has to start at the top. Sign the petition calling on Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese to ensure every woman and girl in this country is safe.

I know for as fact that so many Western Australians discussed #walabor & @MarkMcGowan`s response to #Covid19WA with their neighbours, workplace colleagues
I also know as fact that most of the speak was about how the @LiberalsWA tried to undermine McGowans #covid19 response 2
What came up with the far greater majority of people of all political persuasion was how federal @LiberalAus had demeaned all States {except NSW} handling of #covid19Australia

Australia`s parliament is to resume on March 15th

An auspicious calendar date that saw Julius Caesar killed by Senators in the Roman Senate 2,065 years ago

The Australian Senate can do the same the to Scott Morrison Liberal lead government 2
How can this be done?

By using parliamentary privilege to out the #CabinetMinister named in the letter sent to @SenatorWong & @sarahinthesen8

The governments presumption of innocence line they using with the help of their media mates

What else can be said that has not, concerning this corrupt #Kakistocracy & their equally corrupt #MSM ?

The only reason these @LiberalAus lead criminals are in power is because of #newscorpaus criminals keeping them there 2
But hey, let`s revamp some social media goings on

We also have a cabal who despise this corrupt LNP gov but this cabal has been undermining the only #SocialDemocratic that can replace them = @AustralianLabor

My thoughts 👇🏼
Facebook restricts Australian audiences, publishers from sharing, viewing news

It began two day`s ago for me on FB when I tried to share @MarkMcGowanMP #covid19 daily reporting
My shares each day were [taken from public viewing? 2
FB told me only I could see them & they were against FB community standards

I used their box ticking to complain of their decision

I now see that news sharing has stopped on FB for Australians

As a male I have always despised @LiberalAus for it`s treatment of workers
Libs hate universal healthcare, public schools, blue collar superannuation & equal rights for women
The ABC has returned to 60`s style of @AustralianLabor bashing 2
In the 60`s, Labor was "that other lot" according to @ABCaustralia
Menzies used the McCarthyism "Reds Under The Beds" which he & the ABC linked to Labor in order keep them out of power
In the 60`s the #ABC was the doyen of televised media

From @Tony_Burke {worst}
1. This is very telling. Scott Morrison isn’t out spruiking his industrial relations changes. He isn’t making the case for them. He isn’t even defending them in the Parliament. Instead - bizarrely - he’s pretending they don’t exist. 2/1
The Coalition’s slide into Trumpian black-is-white up-is-down post-truth politics continues.

From @Tony_Burke
1. This week Labor’s focus was jobs. Not just any jobs: secure jobs with decent pay. That’s what Australians need coming out of this pandemic, that’s what the Labor Party wants to deliver and that’s what Scott Morrison’s industrial relations changes fail 2
to deliver. We used almost every question this week to pursue the government over their IR scheme, which will allow huge pay cuts for workers. Penalty rates, shift allowances and other entitlements: they’re all on the chopping block for millions of workers.

For all thinking people it appears the we are now in an undeclared Federal election campaign
The impact of the Opposition`s attack on all of Morrison`s failures 2
has finally cut through
Media cannot find positives to promote this LNP government any further
A further eroding of the Democratic process in shutting down debate in #HoR question time cannot be defended by the #MSM, nor can it be glossed over
