The history-making floods in outback Queensland are disturbing. It should be a wake up call to all the climate change deniers in that part of the world, but it won't. #AusPol

i owe the #ALP an apology — i thought they were completely useless, but <same job same pay> is in principle an important leap forward.
since forever women and other marginalised people have been underpaid, based on the assumption they are less productive. now, employers can no longer use bias about productivity to discriminate in wages. (of course, they can continue to do what they have always done which is to simply not give jobs to women and marginalised people, but same job same pay does remove an excuse for ripping people off if they do have a job)
so… what does #LNP plan to do about it? if the party says they will repeal it but Dutton says he won’t, whom should we trust? If dutton doesn’t back down to party demands, how hard would it be to depose him as leader after the election?

For context:
Lebanese Muslim leaders couldn't even refuse to allow Dutton into their places of worship, the day before Eid, despite him saying Lebanese Muslims are terrorists for fear of the media backlash against the Muslim community.
Yet the Jewish leaders feel so empowered they can exclude candidates from forums to give their favoured candidates a leg up.

Polls are easy to spin, but the real salient facts here is that the duop are only two points apart and #Independents are the only contenders who have enjoyed an increase in their primary vote. That is my spin for true, participatory democracy #auspol https://michaelwest.com.au/dutton-approval-unplugged-as-work-ban-policy-hits-home/
Michael West · Dutton approval unplugged as work-ban policy hits home - Michael WestPeter Dutton’s approval rating among voters has plunged to its worst level since becoming opposition leader, polling shows. The first YouGov poll since the federal election was called for May 3, provided to AAP, shows Mr Dutton’s satisfaction rating plummeting to minus 15. His net satisfaction among voters slumped by 10 points in the two […]
It's kind of crazy that Jewish leaders would not only import conflict into a candidate forum, but would clearly pick a side in politics.
This is just further increasing animosity toward Jewish people at a time when antisemitism is at an all-time high:

'It's not just a question of who puts on reciprocal tariffs. It's that countries that might not necessarily even like each other very much are talking together about rewiring their trading systems to essentially deal with a USA-less world.'
ABC News · We've all talked about potential economic consequences for Australia of Trump's policies. Now they're happening
The ConversationNo, that’s not what a trade deficit means – and that’s not how you calculate other nations’ tariffsTo calculate its ‘reciprocal tariffs’, the Trump administration has opted for a crude formula with no basis in trade theory. We are all going to pay the price.
