www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... Here is a targeted idea to help families with Cost of Living. Fund Public Schools properly. The subsidies for private schools must stop. Outrageous place for people to be wasting money. @janecaro.bsky.social

It is literally the people who said "you can't say anything anymore" who are getting people arrested and harmed for saying things they don't agree with. Perhaps we misunderstood. I thought they were complaining, but maybe it was a warning/instruction

To all the women and girls,

May you have the strength , determination, and courage to live a life that gets you labelled, "difficult," by privileged men.

Someone was recently trying to convince me how great AI is and Musk says people won't have to work & govs will save $ and look after people.
I was horrified. Maybe it CAN do that, but it won't....
Govs already fail to look after people, when they could by taxing the likes of Musk

After witnessing the unprovoked police violence at last night's #HerzogNotWelcome rally (incl. against a Muslim woman beside me who was being completely cooperative & respectful), I now understand what Albo & Minns mean when they say we have "shared values" with Israel and the USA. 😔 #auspol #nswpol

“Labor caucus represents more Australians than any other group in parliament. They are hearing about all sorts of expectations on climate, inequality, housing.

Every week in parliament they deliver speeches on policies that will do nothing to fundamentally address any of those issues.” #auspol

Australian billionaires increased their wealth by almost $600,000 a day on average over last year, report shows Data collected by Oxfam shows 48 billionaires hold more wealth than bottom 40% of the population – 11 million people – combined
