The usual suspects are out attacking Labor’s policy to invest in building Australia’s manufacturing resilience and independence.
Under Banks “leadership” the PC promoted neoliberal ideology that resulted in job losses, and reduced industrial capacity. 😳 apple.news/AD9Luyt7SS-aBQ…

The ANZ/ Core Logic report confirms the housing “market” has failed. More Australians are forced into rental and mortgage poverty with huge social and economic implications.
“Smart”, modular homes help reduce building and running costs we need them here! theurbandeveloper.com/articles/corel…

“A robust and forceful speech” says David Speers as he describes the universally condemned Dutton speech comparing Opera House demonstrations with the Port Arthur massacre.
FFS Dutton’s speech was divisive stupidity from a desperate, despicable politician masquerading as a leader

Modern, environmentally sustainable modular housing costs less to build, less to heat and cool can make a significant contribution to technology, productivity and jobs.
We need a sustainable, productive and fair Australia that delivers for all not just executive salaries!

The smug and disdainful critique of Labor’s strategy to increase our manufacturing independence is typical of the narrow minded neoliberal claptrap that dominates our media.
No wonder politicians are hesitant to take steps to ensure we can make things and create jobs.

The Productivity Commission and the Murdoch press mount an attack on Labor for having the gall to propose we invest in Australian manufacturing jobs.
The bean counters in the PC want us to be a quarry with no downstream processing and no downstream jobs.

That was a great Labor speech by Anthony Albanese
Challenging the status quo, presenting a vision for the future and offering an alternative to Australia continuing as a quarry, farm and tourist destination.
That was Albo and Labor at its best!

My union ⁦The AMWU⁩ has always argued for more intervention by govt in creating high skilled, well paid and sustainable manufacturing jobs.
Markets left to their own means manufacturing decline and job losses. Hope it’s not just about nuclear subs! theguardian.com/australia-news…

Great to see ⁦Julian Hill MP⁩ reject the media and LNP claptrap on Gaza.
Julian nails it and explains the logic, humanity and common sense behind ⁦Senator Penny Wong⁩ and ⁦Australian Labor⁩ supporting recognition of Palestine and the need for a two state solution.

It’s painful watching Simon Birmingham parrot Israeli govt talking points while ignoring the history of the Palestinian conflict.
LNP refuse to condemn the systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure and the slaughter of innocent Palestinians by the IDF.
This did not start on 7 Oct!

So Richard Marles new line is that AUKUS is a “technology sharing agreement”.
This spin downplays the fact that we are subjugating our independence to the USA and its goal of continuing worldwide military dominance.
We should be pursuing peace not military expansion.

Remember when Simon Birmingham was supposed be a Liberal “progressive”?
His unequivocal support for the Israeli govt and his failure to recognise the history of conflict in Palestine demonstrates that “progressive “ and Liberal are an oxymoron.

Australia has subjugated our independence to the USA.
Makes it difficult to demand Biden stops arms shipments to Israel that slaughter civilians and aid workers. Labor must call on Biden to stop arming Israel and killing civilians.

Access to safe,, secure and affordable housing for all is one of the great political challenges.
I am honoured to be asked by Everybody’s Home to be a joint commissioner along with Professor Nicole Gurran on a People’s Commission into the housing crisis.

So Peter Dutton say people in Gaza are “in a very difficult situation”.
Being slaughtered by the IDF is not “a difficult situation”, it is an abomination.
Weasel words do Dutton and the LNP no credit as the world reacts with horror and condemnation at the ongoing brutality.
