In case you were wondering why Peter Dutton is against the $3.6 billion pay offer for childcare workers, it’s because it’ll affect his profit margin.

Announcing my Aust first paper on Indigenous youth mental health & suicide behaviour clinical norms that reveals 1 in 4 Indigenous youth have attempted suicide and 42% have suicidal thoughts (N=1,266). This research has all been SELF FUNDED. WHY? Because this is the FIRST STEP

Reminder: In May 2021 then Liberal MP Tim Wilson joined a run in support of Indigenous Australians, leading the pack ... for the first 100m as it left Parliament House. Then, when the tv cameras stopped filming, he turned and went back to his office.🙄 #auspol #GoldsteinVotes

NT latest stats for children in detention. 99.5% are Indigenous and many 12 & 13 year olds. How many more children will be locked in cages under the CLP promise to lower the age to just 10? tfhc.nt.gov.au/youth-justice/…

I ask again: if we can afford to over fund virtually every private school in Australia according to their SRS, why can’t we afford to fund every public school to at the very least their SRS? There can only be one answer. Class.

If parents are worried and unsure what to do, have an expert offer advice. This does not require legislation! Australia has far more pressing concerns! Parents should decide and implement their own decision about what’s right for their family. When you take on the

This is either a desperate attempt to gain right wing votes Or Part of a deal with Dutton to get something else passed Or One of the worst, paternalistic policies I have seen in years. Parents can make their own decisions, paternalism encourages a lack of capacity. Ridiculous.

Anthony Albanese was clearly behind this. He climbed the flagpole, shredded it, chuckled maniacally, and waited for this canny genius to discover his secret plan to desecrate all flags. AFP were unavailable for comment.

FFS. The flag at Parliament House has nothing to do with the government. Nothing. And Tehan well knows this. He’s trying for cheap political points. Pathetic.

An articulate woman speaks & she must be cheating, she was fed the answers, she wasn’t fact checked, it’s a conspiracy, she’s not smart, she slept her way to the top, she’s not pretty, a puppet, her earrings were high-tech spy-ware micro-transmitters giving her the answers…

As Senator Price continues to cry foul that the Albanese gov fails to listen to marginalised Indigenous people and fail on Indigenous policy, it feel like a good time to share some thoughts.... The Voice to parliament was never going to be the silver bullet to closing the gap

Everyone wants to lock up a 10 year old Until it’s their 10 year old But those making these decisions know it will never be their 10 year old Ask Aboriginal parents what it’s like parenting Aboriginal kids. They have to teach them to “make themselves small (Cassius Turvey’s

Gov says under 16 years old - not mature enough for social media. Yet all Australian jurisdictions apart from the ACT allow 10 year olds to be incarcerated. The NT has taken a small step for government but a giant leap for mankind - BACKWARDS. With presumption of remand over
