Every boat that arrives brings a question along with the migrants: what kind of world have we built, if so many brothers and sisters must risk death to seek life? Human dignity demands legal and safe pathways, rescue and assistance, real cooperation against traffickers, effective protection for victims, serious processes of reception and integration, and policies that allow every person to live with dignity in their own land. We cannot grow accustomed to counting the dead. Human dignity has no passport and does not lose its value when crossing a border. #ApostolicJourney

Sexism just has no place in our political debate, full stop. A billboard truck using sexist language has been driving around Melbourne as part of a secret and well-funded political campaign. People are entitled to disagree with me. That’s democracy. But I care that this attacks women. And I care about who’s next. The political debate in this country has become corrosive over the last few years. So much so that behaviour which would once have been condemned is now just another part of life. Media don’t call it out. They report on this like it’s fair game, like it’s normal. But nothing about this is normal. If you don’t take a stand against this creeping culture, it has a tendency of taking over. You only have to look at America to know that. I cannot stand back and let Victoria become a place where this sort of language is fair game against any woman at work - or any woman in leadership. If we don’t draw a line, the line will keep moving. At the end of the day, I just want my kids to grow up knowing that women deserve the same respect as men. I want girls to know that they should never need to aim lower just to feel safer. And I want boys to know that they don’t have to put women ‘in their place’ to make their own way in the world. Sexism hurts everyone. If the media won’t call out it, I will.

My white dad died of prostate cancer. 1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer. That’s twice the rate of white people. This policy will save lives - and mean more NHS resources for others. This opportunistic race baiting is disgusting.

On the day the whole political establishment claims we do not live in a two tier country, they announce this. Note, the NHS makes NO drugs available exclusively to white people.

“But many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” — bell hooks

tragic doesn’t even begin to describe this

D’Angelo has passed away at 51 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. A founding father of neo-soul, his music redefined R&B intimate, spiritual, and unapologetically Black. From Brown Sugar to Voodoo, he gave us art that breathed. Rest in power, Michael Eugene Archer. 🕊️

A Perfect 10 pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

It all started here. Growing up, mum was in and out of hospital. Rheumatoid arthritis crippled her joints and she was on the invalid pension. We lived in public housing. And having a safe, secure roof over our heads meant everything. For me, politics has always been personal. I know first hand the powerful difference governments can make. I believe everyone deserves the best healthcare regardless of their status in life. And everyone deserves the security of a roof over their head. In this election, I'm fighting to defend and strengthen Medicare, for more affordable housing, and for a better future for the next generation.

Today’s decision by the independent Reserve Bank to lower interest rates is very welcome news for millions of Australians. This is the rate relief Australians need and deserve. It’s a demonstration of the substantial and sustained progress we’ve made on inflation together. It won’t solve every problem in our economy or household budgets but it will help. Under Labor, inflation is down, wages are up, unemployment is low and now interest rates have started to come down too. #auspol #ausecon

1 out of every 30 people in the world is a migrant. People move for a variety of reasons: to seek a better life, to find safety, to reunite with family. No matter where they are from, no matter where they are going, the rights of migrants must be protected.

PASSED: Labor's legislation to make multinationals pay their fair share of tax in Australia. This will help us pay for the things that matter most to Australians like healthcare, housing and help with cost of living. #auspol
