My husband reading with 6 yo and explaining “Miss, Mrs, Ms”: “Isn’t it wild that we created all these different words to tell the world whether or not a woman is married, but not for a man?”

Greetings from a Finnish leftist! The international situation has apparently left many people in the English-speaking countries confused. I write this thread in the hopes of sharing a perspective I believe is widely if not unilaterally shared in Finland, most leftists included.

Liberals trying to make it harder for people to vote: demanding photo ID on polling day. Who will miss out? Homeless, older people who’ve given up driver’s license, remote community residents. How many prosecutions for multiple voting last election? ZERO #auspol

Wow.
It’s just been revealed that $19.7 billion of taxpayers’ money went to firms with rising revenues as part of JobKeeper.
That’s $2000 💰 for every Australian household.

BREAKING: I have confirmed Dr Chant did not endorse this new roadmap. The Chief Health Officer warned the new Premier these changes come with risk, but the decision was ultimately a matter for the government. A shift from Perrottet away from “the health advice.” @9NewsAUS

About 80% of Australians support a 2050 net zero emissions target. About 9% of Australians voted for the National Party at the last election.
For goodness sake, will Barnaby Joyce get out of the way so the rest of us can get cheaper cleaner energy and the jobs that come with it?

Craig Kelly is introducing another anti-vax bill to Parliament today. This time, it's being seconded by George Christensen, a Liberal National MP.
Will @ScottMorrisonMP finally show some leadership and stop this dangerous misinformation coming from his own party?

We will no longer be tuning in for the daily 11am gladyslighting ceremony, it's only causing harm now. We recommend getting the data from the @NSWHealth tweets and forming your own conclusions.

Destroying 124,000+ brand new items every week just to keep prices up?
The planet just can't take any more of this insanity.
Our future is being murdered for rampant, gluttonous greed.

Australia has never seen public waste on this scale. New figures suggest that $13 billion in JobKeeper was splashed on firms with rising earnings. That's enough money to build a dozen hospitals, and more than the federal govt spends on public schools. @ABC730 @DanConifer #auspol

PM: "All states need to lift their vaccination rates".

If you steal from your boss, you can face jail time.
But if your boss steals from you – well, it feels like they only get a slap on the wrist.
That's not right. At all.
So we did something about it.
