Human Rights Watch has questioned Australia's three major political parties about their positions on a range of human rights and foreign policy issues

It is good to see parties forced to answer questions such as whether they support the use of Magnitsky sanctions against Chinese officials for severe human rights abuses. Mainstream media coverage of the election tends to focus on just a few issues and doesn't ask these type of questions

So did Dan Tehan make a mistake? Great follow-up questions from the journo on the topic. Not letting Peter Dutton off the hook or letting anyone talk over the top of her. #ausvotes

It gets worse for Peter Dutton as Dan Tehan pledges to "cut" skilled migration from 132k to 150k. Yes, you read that correctly. The alternate immigration minister proposes cutting upwards.

I'm not sure the name of the journo but she's sharp & what the nation needs. #ausvotes

As you know, Peter Dutton is from my home state of Qld. Our police commissioner told us mid-2024 that DV was the number 1 callout for officers. So why is Dutton cobbling this together after pre-polling has commenced? He's had years to put DV policy together. #ausvotes

Respectfully, I disagree with Dr Monique Ryan, Teal independent Member for Kooyong. She said: "There's no place in Australian electoral campaigns for violence and aggression."

Matt Trihey is a neo-Nazi.
He is a member of neo-Nazi organisation.
He interrupted a public meeting with Monique Ryan to spread neo-Nazi hate.
One should not tolerate intolerance.
The justified response is to punch a Nazi.
Thankyou to the righteous woman who punched the Nazi!

The opposition leader says he ‘won’t be able to get to all’ of the seven locations earmarked for flagship nuclear policy, while #Labor says he has not been within 50km of any during election campaign.

The media isn’t asking about it.

The major party candidates aren’t talking about it.

That shouldn’t stop you thinking about it.

A vote for Labor or the LNP is a vote supporting the ongoing genocide of Palestinians by Israel.

We can do better.
We don’t have to support genocide.

Use your vote to condemn Australia’s support of genocide.

What I love about Australia's electoral system is that I cheer on stories like this, while in the US it would be terrifying.

STV, compulsory voting, and the AEC, mean that a vote for a Muslim third party, isn't a vote for Temu Trump.

They may not win, and that's cool, but it'll send a clear message to Labor:

Dutton's DV policy was literally cooked up over the past week or so. It's so obvious it was.

New offences (unsurprising from Mr Cop), but the register of offenders to be shared among state police is the kicker.

3 things:

1) a register of offenders is a register of victims

2) this will be weaponised by cops against (their) victims

3) cops are among the largest group of DV perpetrators and love to leak shit from their systems to other cops
