Scandalous that big oil companies are pocketing $700k a minute profit while some families are going without meals & pensioners are forced to choose between filling the car or a prescription. Australians aren’t fooled by the economic jargon trying to hide price gouging #auspol

A petition with 124,665 signatures says we don’t want our weapons, components & resources contributing to war crimes or genocide. The Red Lines Package gives Gov an opportunity to restore Aus's leadership on international law. I urge the Gov to act. #auspol #politas Amnesty International Australia 🕯

I successfully moved a motion to recognise the importance of bringing Julian Assange’s extradition to an end. The Govt voted for it in an unprecedented show of political support for Julian. The US must heed these calls & drop the extradition. #FreeAssangeNOW #auspol #politas

Gambling regulation in Aus is a national disgrace. The govt has ignored the Murphy Report & repeatedly blocked my bill to hold gambling giants accountable. If they won’t listen to evidence, experts or the crossbench, they should at least listen to the community. #auspol #politas

The ICJ has ruled that govts and orgs are obliged not to lend any form of support to illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine. So I again implore the Aus Govt to take meaningful action to hold Israel to account. To do anything less makes us complicit. #politas #auspol

This gambling reform bill is a betrayal of the Australian people. We have a blueprint for real, meaningful action to reduce gambling harm. But instead, the Government and the Opposition are moving in lockstep, balking at the chance to deliver it. #auspol #politas

I’m no fan of the Iranian regime, but the attacks on Iran are patently illegal. It’s galling that rather than standing up in defence of international law, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister have as good as cheered the US and Israel on for this latest illegal action. #auspol

MPs are elected to serve Australians, not the vested interests that profit from gambling harm: gambling companies, media companies & major sporting codes. These corporations are directly responsible for this harm & this Gov is complicit in allowing it to continue#auspol #politas

Aus is supposed to be a country where the rule of law & natural justice applies. The Gov’s sneaky attempt to strip welfare from people before they’ve been convicted of any crime is a fundamental breach of these principles. We may as well dissolve the court system #auspol #politas

Israel is engaged in an intentional and systematic military campaign against the people of Palestine. The Fed Govt must rule out any further arms trade with Israel until it's clear no Australian materiel can be used to perpetrate genocide #auspol #politas

That at least one salmon farming company in Tas has been in the practice of processing dead & diseased fish for human consumption is appalling. There must be an independent inquiry because it’s clear we can’t trust the fish on our supermarket shelves #auspol #politas

The housing crisis was fuelled by overly generous CGT and negative gearing concessions. I supported today’s changes as I’ve long campaigned for reform. As things stand at the moment however the Gov has much work to do to get the rest (e.g. trust changes) done right #auspol

My Human Rights Bill tabled today spells out in plain terms, the rights and freedoms that everyone in Australia is entitled to. It requires that fairness, respect, dignity and compassion must be put at the centre of all government decision and polices. #auspol #politas

The Electoral Reform Bill should be renamed the Funnelling Public Money to the Major Parties Under the Guise of Transparency Bill 2024. The major parties have the gall to push this reform, so they should stand up and call it for what it is. #politas #auspol
