us politics has been beamed into everyone’s brains non stop for the past year - please remember & remind people you know, that ‘wasting your vote’ on minor parties doesn’t exist in australia. you can and should put minor parties at the top of your preferences and your vote will still matter

wait ngl what ideas does dutton have beyond building a nuclear reactor??

Well besides nuclear power that’ll take 15+ years to build and double power prices, he also is a big fucking racist who wants to cut immigration but that’ll cost the economy $34 billion and lead to a skill shortage.

His idea for housing is to allow people to access their super which has multiple problems in that it a) does not reduce housing costs but actually drives them up (a recent report estimated it’d drive housing prices up an average of $75,000) b) it costs the budget money because of lost tax revenue and c) robs many people of our generation of vital retirement funds, causing a greater reliance on the pension, which the Liberals have historically not been fans of increasing because “low government spending” often means spending cuts to services.

Of course he doesn’t want housing to be more affordable because most of his money he’s made in his life are from the millions upon millions of dollars he’s made buying and selling real estate. Being a politician is actually just a secondary source of income to his main business: having a property portfolio.

He also wants to abandon our 2030 emissions reduction target because he doesn’t care about climate change.

Oh, and he thinks it’s “divisive” to be inclusive and doesn’t want to stand in front of the Aboriginal flag.

He’s a racist idiot whose policies will literally just drive prices up and make us poorer. He does not want to make your life better or easier and none of his ideas are backed by economists. His strategy is so blatantly just an attempt to rile up xenophobia and attack poor people, immigrants, and people of colour to win over through fear and division.

He is a bad man whose policies are bad for the economy and bad for our society.

This is the kind of thing we need to get out there. People need to understand that the Coalition's promises are all smoke and mirrors. They don't have a good plan - they just want to be different to Labor's to have something to fight over.

You won't be able to get ALL the detail into every conversation but make sure you drop in whenever you can to discussions with friends, family, others, etc, at the very least a comment along the lines of "Dutton's only got a handful of ideas and all of them will drive up the cost of living" or "Good thing Labor's fixing the economy. It always goes to shit under the Coalition."

Create and reinforce that association that Coalition = bad economy again and again. Whenever you can. Stats, articles, and lengthy discussions help explain that and get people to believe it - but so does casually saying it over and over to give people a negative impression of the Coalition.

I do think with news of the ceasefire, everyone should read up on what the ceasefire actually means and what the different phases of the ceasefire are. here's a good source for what we know as of now:

Some of my initial takeaways are:

  • this ceasefire is temporary (as of right now, six weeks long). negotiations will continue but israel is not offering guarantees about continued non-violence. BDS remains important. be vigilant, keep pressure up
  • rafah crossing will open one week after the initial phase starts
  • israel will release 2000 prisoners
  • more aid will get to northern gaza, look out for ways you can help
  • if the second phase is initiated, israel will do a complete withdrawal from gaza. which means the initial phase will not include that. again i say: BE VIGILANT
  • if the third phase is reached, reconstruction will begin "under international supervision"
  • nothing is over, even if this is a relief. do not tape out, do not tune out.
  • pls still read the full article

📢Very urgent.!

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

My name is Inas Imad, from Gaza, and I am 30 year old wife and first time expecting mother living in the most unimaginable and dire circumstances for over a year now. Three years ago I married my best friend and have struggled trying to start a family. Even after this war began, my husband and I did not lose hope in starting our family and we continued in determination to live and to bring new life into this world. I am now currently pregnant with our first child, however due to the consequences of this war, I am faced with a high risk, dangerous pregnancy according to the doctor and I am very afraid that if I do not get get adequate nutrition, the medications, and supplies that I need, I will lose my child. The doctor has ordered medication to be given by injection throughout my pregnancy to help me carry my baby to term, however I do not have the money to purchase the medication and syringes needed, nor do we have the money to purchase adequate nutrition. Life here in Gaza is very difficult and we become more hopeless by the day. My husband and I had just started to build our lives together. We had a nice home where we had planned to start our family, and now we are subjected to living in a tent where there is no bathroom and we spend our nights just trying to get warm. It has been difficult being pregnant and not having a bathroom or even a bed to sleep on, but I want my child more than anything. The only hope we have left is in our baby and I am asking you to stand with us. Please, help us in any way you can to save our child. We feel very alone and abandoned, but we are determined to live and we want to see our child be one of the miracles that comes out of Gaza. Any amount you can donate, no matter how small, means the world to us. We will never forget you standing with us. Please, help me to evacuate from Gaza so that I can see my dream of being a mother and bringing my beautiful baby into this world to make it a better place and helping my husband and I be able to watch our child grow up. We will be forever grateful to you.

Please you are hope for me!

Don't make me lose hope.!

He is my first child.!😭😭😭

Happy Holidays but keep us in your thoughts

📢🚨 If you ignore this, you are condemning Adam to death 🚑🚨


I am speaking to you from the heart of a mother who is watching her son collapse before her eyes

My heart bleeds with pain for Adam whose weak body cannot bear the catastrophic environment in which he lives

He lost 15 kilograms of his weight due to the lack of special food for a disabled child who suffers from difficulty swallowing and digestion

image

Now he suffers from a health problem that has affected his respiratory system as a result of the dust, destruction and polluted environment surrounding him, as he cannot do without a vaporizer in light of the horrific high prices and power outages, as I walk kilometers in his wheelchair so that he can receive treatment in the hospital


Urgent distress call to help me buy a vaporizer and provide solar energy to save my son from the troubles he is exposed to on a daily basis

He suffers from muscle spasms due to the lack of medicine, as he needs a medicine called (Kepra) that he takes in two doses daily, morning and evening

Imagine with me, O human, that you have a disabled child and you stand helpless, unable to provide him with food, medicine or shelter, as we live In a tent that looks like a grave

Adam will enjoy health and wellness if you provide him with his food and medicine 🙏💔🫂❣️

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️
