This was a massive failure of private sector outsourcing resulting in a myriad of dodgy providers getting paid bucket loads to kick people off the dole. The Greens will abolish mutual obligation and bring employment services back into the Australian Public Service.

Jillian Segal was on the board of NAB while it ripped off customers and faced scandal after scandal. She has criticised calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and defended bombings of hospitals.
Why does she have any sort of government role?

BREAKING: The PM has announced the appointment of a pro-Israel advocate as special envoy on antisemitism. We are concerned this will undermine important work across racial lines to address all forms of racism.

I hate to be the one to break this to you all, but there are an awful lot of people this past week who are paid to be journalists/reporters/whatever who really aren't that bright and have been talking utter bollocks.
Yet apparently social media is the problem.

The fact that western media no longer talk about Israel's #GenocideinGaza and the oppression of Palestinians anywhere under Israeli rule, does not mean that genocide and oppression have stopped. It means they are being NORMALISED.
#Humanity wake up!

Biden’s name NEVER appeared in Epstein’s flight logs. But Trump’s name appeared 69 times. 69!

Utterly disgraceful and extraordinary that Labor has suspended a first term, young Muslim woman for standing up for Palestine. This Labor gov has done more to sanction Fatima Payman than Israel for committing a genocide. Over 40k Palestinians murdered and this is what Labor does.

Bernie Sanders holding a rally in Stevens Point, WI - first since debate. Starts by condemning Trump’s lies onstage, but says he must be honest: “I think the president was not terribly articulate, to say the least, and he was not focused. He did not defend a very strong record.”

The CNN staff will rue the day they chose to let Trump lie with impunity. If Trump wins and fascism takes hold, it will be partly the fault of CNN. What an absolute disgrace…and what a horrible and disturbing legacy.

Then why not just have interns ask the questions? What need for @jaketapper and @DanaBashCNN ?
