The Liberals even want to say no to the same referendum format used by John Howard!

Jason Clare 'the weakest, laziest argument I've ever heard .. why didn't you raise it in the Parliament?'

Sussan Ley 'well we're raising it now'

That's lazy, Sussan.

All the Republican candidates for president agree climate change is not real. It’s a hoax. And not caused by human activity. Even as heat waves sweep across continents and the hemisphere burns in mega fires. This is the main reason Biden must prevail, even enfeebled and befuddled

The gulf between the 79 brave female players refusing to accept the misogyny & non-consensual contact & the spineless, mostly males clapping Rubiales’ refusal to resign, is cavernous.

That includes UEFA as Rubiales is VP.

There can be no gender equality without basic safety.

Look at this advertisement from 1973. A 3 bedroom house in Kew could be purchased for $26,000, or about 4 times the average salary.

Today the Kew median house price is about $2.85 million.

Has the price of anything else increased so much faster than wages?

“We’ve lost perspective on this whole conversation….at the end of the day, this is just a generous invitation to recognise First Nations people in our constitution & to give them a voice on the policies that affect them.

It’s a very simple question.”

Well said Zoe

Great thread. Thank you! If you watched Landline, or even if you didn’t, here are some facts about logging in Victoria. 👇👇👇

The scale of the Matilda’s achievement can’t be overstated.

While some will be disappointed with 4th, they entered the Cup 10th in the world and as unknown athletes in their home country – and left having secured an unprecedented victory for women’s sport.

The energy transition is on its way and yet the LNP is stuck in its own time warp. After nearly a decade of resistance, their voices are getting fainter and fainter.

Victoria's integrity framework needs strengthening:
- parliamentary oversight committees are dominated by gov members
- IBAC is hamstrung
- lobbying is weak
- independent code of conduct non existent

The Voice is a simple idea to create practical change.

Labor's 'commitment' to emissions reduction & extinction prevention are weasel words.

A Government committed to climate action & environmental protection would end native forest logging now.

Instead, they're delaying to keep a union boss happy.

Denise Shrivell #VoteYes It's always intrigued me that the national psyche is one that expects Australia to punch above its weight in sport, but not in humanitarian endeavours or action on climate.

If only we could change that.

Whatever happens tonight, congratulations, and thank you.

The Matildas have been *awesome*.

Time to break the deadlock on housing.

The National Cabinet meets tomorrow. We need fast-tracked planning approvals, higher density housing, more protections for renters and a substantial increase in Commonwealth rental assistance.

I’m proud to work with some incredible people to bring this initiative to life.

We know electrification is the future and we’re working together to help Boroondara lead the way.

Kudos to Reuters' breaking news team for including not just the role of climate change, but of fossil fuels, in the Maui wildfires.

It is so meaningful and easy to include a graf like this in breaking news coverage of climate disasters. Yet so few do it.

David Littleproud, leader of The Nationals, says we need to take the politics out of the energy discussion.👀

A really important week in Canberra.

85 doctors held meetings with 45 MPs where they sounded the alarm over the health effects of Middle Arm.

The Federal Government must protect the health of our children and grandchildren and stop funding the project.

1969: Melbourne's vision was paved with freeways, driven by a US car-centric dream. People rallied against it, halting the full scope. Imagine if it went ahead - the F6 straight thru Kew, Melbourne choked by roads, not vibrant neighbourhoods.

People power reshaped our city.
