A #coalition representing nearly every fmr #president from Herbert Hoover to Barack Obama issued a collective call on Thursday to protect the foundations of American #democracy & maintain #civility in the nation’s #politics.

The alliance of presidential centers & foundations for U.S. ldrs dating back nearly a century, both #Democrats & #Republicans, is a historic #first. Never before has such a broad coalition of legacy institutions from former administrations joined together on a single issue.

Alliances across national borders are going to have more of a force in the future."

@guardian_bot The #Coalition as "better economic managers" strike again, with another multi-billion boondoggle. Almost half a billion spent with precious little to show for it, while projected costs have blown out by a factor of five and project originally slated for delivery next year has its projected deadline pushed to almost the end of the decade.

*Better Economic Managers*

✔️ Better at delivering & defending policies that benefit the kelptocracy/plutocracy

✔️ Better at having a massive propaganda machine supporting them & confusing the average voter via the corporate media

✔️ Better at funnelling public money into private hands while bypassing anything much that actually benefits the public

✔️ Better at corruption, obfuscation, and failing to follow their own laws.

#Robodebt #qt #parliament Bill Shorten moved a motion for the House of Representatives to accept the RC findings and apologised to victims of #robodebt. Naturally the #LNP voted against the motion and called it point scoring. During #qt Bill has given the #coalition a massive clip each time they pop up to excuse the inexcusable and to deny any wrong doing in this “political witch-hunt” #FFS #Auspol

#FunFact: The #coalition #government containing the most parties among all EU member states was #Italy's second cabinet Amato. It had ministers from eight parties, plus three independents, including Amato himself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amato_government

"Old" news. Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #climate #ideas.

#Countries comprised of 85% of the #world's #population formed a #coalition and demanded at #COP27 that the #rich countries, we who are most responsible for the harms of #ClimateChange, create an #ExtremeWeather #recovery #fund.

"You cannot adapt to extinction"

"3 drops of moisture"

"The...fund is not about dispensing #charity, it is clearly a down payment on the longer #investment in our join #futures"

@n3wjack @GrueneBundestag It's supposed to be. Interestingly: after some digging I found this commitment on page 98 of the @RegierungBW #coalition agreement between #Greens and #CDU:

My translation: "We will limit video #surveillance in public spaces, (...) We will evaluate the use of intelligent video surveillance after the finalisation of the #Mannheim test project. We reject suspicionless automatised #biometric video surveillance."

'Coalition of corrupt parties', says PM Modi as Oppn meets #Coalition # # #PMModi #Oppn #socialnewsxyz

‘ Nationally, Australia is an international laggard on education equality among our peers — we are 30th out of 38 OECD countries when it comes to fairly funded high schools, a 2018 UNICEF report found. So what went wrong? Gonski’s landmark reforms were watered down when the Gillard government promised Catholic and private schools they wouldn’t lose a dime, The Guardian explains. Then the Abbott government scrapped the 2017-18 public school funding boost. Then the Turnbull government created a 20% funding cap for public schools, leaving state governments to foot the bill. They didn’t. For private schools, the cap was reversed.’

#Dutton says voters in #Fadden will look to the future.

He has dismissed a Labor campaign in the Fadden #byelection, saying he expected voters would “look forward, not back,” AAP reports.

Labor’s social media advertising targets retired MP for Fadden and former minister Stuart Robert, who was mentioned in the robodebt royal commission report as having made misleading public comments about the unlawful scheme.

“Voters shouldn’t look back at #crimes the #Coalition has committed in the past - it should look forward to crimes we’ll commit in the future!” he meant to say. #auspol

#Millennials aren't following this #voting trend, and it could be bad news for the #Coalition.
