Friends,
Regardless of what political party you support - when an elected member of our fed gov can be unlawfully sexually harassed & bullied out of parliament, while 25 mil of us watch on - the reality is our gov is no operating democratically

(Thread) If a woman can have sex weaponised against her, used to bully, humiliate and attack her credibility and character, while the ppl who run our country watch on & take no action - it means sexual harassment is now an acceptable practice in Aust, with zero consequences

Dear @MarkMcGowanMP ,
Youve done a great job protecting West Australian lives during pandemic, however there is an epidermic thats killing more ppl than a virus & we need your help....

Sir, why is the specific act of domestic violence not a crime in WA?
(Thread) Physical abuse is a crime yes however non physical abuse is not ie:Financial, social, systems, emotional, legal abuse, gaslighting & coercive control.
There is more of a penalty for catching a fish that is too small - than there is destroying the life of another... why?

Thread: Wholeheartedly agree @vanOnselenP
But we don’t need a royal commission, we all know what went wrong, we watched it unfold. Everyone l was telling gov this was wrong & hurting ppl, they failed to act.
It was arrogance, incompetence, over reliance of bureaucrats..
1/7 & a deep prejudice held against welfare recipients, with assumption ppl without money are below them; assuming ppl would rort system, assuming gov could bully ppl & no one would fight back - it’s EXACT same behaviour & cash grab by @ato_gov_au that @Richard_D_Boyle exposed 2/7

Why is Twiggy Forrest buying Gov influence? (see thread)
1) Purchase of COVID19 test kits gives Chinese diplomat access gov briefing
2) China being biggest customer for FMG iron ore
3) Former FMG CEO Nev Powers appointed head gov COVID19 committee

apple.news/AhFy9lAqjT2-B4… 4) Remembering Twiggy was banned by ASIC from being CEO for misleading the sharemarket in regards to value of contract with Chinese steelmills.
5) Influencing gov policy over cashless welfare card with charity work with Aboriginal communities

Mr Albanese, @AlboMP
There are 25 million Australians who have watched on, in utter disbelief, as members of @AustralianLabor bullied a talented, committed & lionhearted women,@emmahusarmp , out of her job serving as an elected member of Aust Gov .... cont 1/7 2/7 Why? @emmahusarmp had too much potential? Was too popular? Ask the mediocre, megalomaniac @AustralianLabor boys club who did it.
Any other workplace in the country, this would never been allowed . The ALP is in violation of the Fair Work act & Anti discrimination act @AlboMP
