🧵A thread re; the $3.57 a day Jobseeker raise.

The TRUISM that u can judge a country by the way it TREATS its Least Fortunate is
🧵1/ a damning indictment on the way we treat our jobless.

A rise in Jobseeker of $25 a week – an extra $3.57 a day – is possibly the LEAST AMOUNT that could be announced with some maintenance of a straight face.

🌟Brittany Higgins exposes @ScottMorrisonMP's FAILURE AS A LEADER

The Prime Minister’s first instinct was to see the story of #BrittanyHiggins
POLITICALLY.

He sensed the issue would be DAMAGING for his Government, & took the short cut of DENIAL.
1/👇🏾 He wanted the public to know he wasn’t told by anyone in his office or his ministry [*clears throat*] before the news broke on February 15.

Now he's taken that argument to the strangest place of all, where he says he is aware of rumours on the Labor side, as well as his own

😱Tragic Story:

The woman alleged the sexual assault took place in Sydney in 1988, long before the man's [a current Cabinet minister] political career commenced...🕵🏻‍♀️🧐

🗣️Federal govt needs to own its mistakes

🔥The Federal authorities have taken a very minimalist approach to the aftermath of the Namadgi ACT Fire that threatened the southern suburbs & destroyed an estimated 80% of the ACT's iconic national park.

The recent $1 million plus
1/👇🏽 spend on restoration works in the Namadgi National Park in the wake of the Orroral Valley fire is another example of the ‘hands off' approach of the Morrison Government.

Despite the fire having been STARTED by an ADF helicopter crew, who then FAILED to report its location

Mr Trump has refused to concede his DEFEAT to President-Elect Joe Biden, & has instead repeatedly & WITHOUT EVIDENCE asserted widespread fraud

But his claims have been REJECTED by State & Federal officials across the country

🗣️Malcolm Turnbull has accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of working as "a team" with News Corp newspapers & Sky TV.

"They're not holding him to account for failings, & they're criticising his opponents. & yeah, they're operating like a team."
