Just received the 'please vote for me' email from my local (Labor) MP.

I replied, politely explaining that I cannot vote for him because his government has chosen not to take any action in response to the recommendations from Peta Murphy's gambling inquiry

Shit-ton wrong with Labor's social media thought-bubble ban made legislation, and subesquently rammed through parliament, but perhaps the worst is that it's little more than a smoke screen for the Albanese Govt's communications portfolio dumping gambling ad reform.

After spending my day “feasting” on #nfl 🏈…
It occurred to me…as I pondered the BS shoveled by the far rights & THEIR idea of…
“Traditional #familyvalues ”…how #drag #books #college #lgbtqia are destroying the country…
Has anyone considered it could be the corrosive levels of #Gambling ?

It’s so normalized!
So pervasive.

Isn’t that the plot of “Guys & Dolls” for crying out loud!

No seriously…where are the “#church folks, #evangelicals”
How about #MomsforLiberty ?

Gee…I wonder 💭why?
