The lack of affordable and #socialhousing is causing a 'grim and desperate situation' as rent rises of up to 22% and evictions to sell rental homes lead to #homelessness says @ACOSS CEO @cassandragoldie abc.net.au/radio/programs/pm…
Christian misogyny is still misogyny. "When did feed the hungry, heal the sick, and liberate the oppressed become 'subjugate women, vilify the poor, and demonize the LGBTQIA+ community?'” #auspol #religiousfreedom #marchforjustice #Christianity jacobinmag.com/2021/04/austr…
Dear @ScottMorrisonMP, After nearly 8 years, it is time we let people move on with their lives, so they can resettle, rebuild and recover. It’s time to call #GameOver.
Lets be clear: They're not words of 'salvation' if they're words that compromise the well-being of others. You can't hide hate speech behind Xn mission. #ACLdoesNOTspeakforus

The ACL don’t represent Christians, they represent the lowest common denominator of a very specific set of right-wing talking points to whip up their supporter base and grow political power #qanda
Any person endorsing "a good war to sort this out.. because society would not be so concerned about climate change or gender identity if we were at war with China" does NOT represent mainstream Christianity. #ACLdoesNOTspeakforme

One way to combat the likes of the ultra Conservative Christian political movement is to follow and amplify the voice of @APCVA - A Progressive Christian Voice Australia - a group of church leaders who support social justice.

We need to keep the pressure up. Rates of payments below the poverty line entrench poverty. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Look how poorly Australia stacks up!! Time to permanently increase Jobseeker and student payments to above the poverty line. We can afford it easily. It is a foolish right wing ideological decision not to increase these payments.
Just look at how poorly the UK's social security stacks up against other major economies, even with the £20 uplift
Families in Britain are struggling. #KeepTheUplift but also improve the system for good bit.ly/ipprtuc
We look forward to the Conversion Practices Prohibition Bill being debated and passed in Vic tomorrow.
