TL;DR Labor + Greens = majority. Coalition + Greens + any independent/minor party senator = majority.
Labor + Coalition = majority.

Reduce the power of the major parties.
Make them LISTEN.

This is not the kind of person we need in the Senate. Labor, the Greens and David Pocock are left to do all the heavy lifting. The rest is mostly dross who have no idea what their job is.

Sharma thinks gender inequality will be solved by giving flowers to ladeez at railway stations. It's depressing.

Today, Tuesday, the #AustralianSenate's Community Affairs References Committee, chaired by Senator Janet Rice (Greens–Victoria), holds the Brisbane public hearing for its Inquiry into the nature and extent of poverty in Australia, at the Hotel Grand Chancellor on Leichhardt St. I am one of four witnesses, as is one of my Twitter mutuals, David Wakeham. The event is audio livestreamed, will be transcribed in the Senate Hansard, and was livetweeted by the #AntipovertyCentre.

The government appears to have secured the support of the Greens and Senator Pocock on the secure jobs better pay bill.

#AustralianGreens have reportedly secured protections for the better off overall test (BOOT), and an enforceable right for workers to demand unpaid parental leave.

“Last night I secured an agreement with the government on the IR Bill. I have been able to negotiate a stack of changes to the legislation that address key concerns raised with me over the last month.”
