Dear @TamePunk, I do believe you have unlocked a new level of legendary status today. Few have reached it. #notyourphotoop

- I wonder how many Fed Govt MPs would still be standing if we had a national ICAC?
- It is disgraceful that is is easier to get Covid than it is to get a Rapid Antigen Test at the moment
- I just saw Peter Dutton accuse me of acting because I “want a job on the Reserve Bank board”! He doesn’t understand that not everyone acts in grubby self-interest. I’ve already got a job thanks! #insiders
- I can announce that in order to ensure balance after the first leaders debate hosted by SkyNews, the ACTU is prepared to host the second debate. Instead of Peta Credlin & Paul Murray commentating, it will be @MicheleONeilAU and myself.
- Yet another flight cancellation from @Qantas who can’t find staff to clean planes or unload baggage because they unlawfully sacked their loyal staff by outsourcing them. People won’t work for poverty wages & insecure jobs. Customers suffer. Who’s accountable?
- Top 10 Countries for #ClimateStrike as a % of population: 1. New Zealand 🇳🇿 2. Austria 🇦🇹 3. Germany 🇩🇪 4. Italy 🇮🇹 5. Australia 🇦🇺 6. Canada 🇨🇦 7. Ireland 🇮🇪 8. Sweden 🇸🇪 9. UK 🇬🇧 10. Finland 🇫🇮 #FridayForFuture
- So Ken Wyatt the Liberal MP for Hasluck says he should get a pay rise when he is on $426K. He says he works hard. Well so do aged care workers on $24/hour who can’t afford rent or food. If there is a list of ppl deserving pay rises, he is at the bottom.
- The Morrison Govt will not agree to paid leave to allow women & children to escape domestic violence, but there seems to be endless paid leave for abusers & harassers within his party.
- There is not a company in Australia more in need of a change in leadership & direction than Qantas
- A terrible fact: The $40B in JobKeeper that went to companies that didn’t need it equates to $8/hour increase for the 2.6mil workers on minimum award wages
- “Don't be too polite girls, don't be too polite, Show a little fight girls, show a little fight, Don't be fearful of offending, in case you get the sack Just recognise your value and we won't look back.” This is Australian union song, 1969
- Today’s front page of The Australian is running headlines that are entirely made up, saying unions have launched a pay rise blitz threatening to undermine the economy during the Omnicron crisis! Shows how desperate they are to distract from Morrison’s failures
