A U.S. citizen detained for 18 hours. Jailed, shackled and threatened. Even upon release, ICE is still threatening to deport her. A U.S. citizen. This is unacceptable.

“…alas, the NSW Premier Chris Minns has now reached the Joe Hockey level of economic ignorance.” (Source: The Point)

I’ve never been a fan of #ChrisMinns, even back when I was a #Labor party member. I don’t like him at the best of times because he peddles the #NeoLiberal lies about economic prosperity and doesn’t appear to be clever enough to head a govt, even a State one at that. You’ll forgive me if I’m dismissive, but #Minns ‘ past performance, including his latest #Authoritarian attitudes, in what is a fast changing society, is reflected in knee-jerk reactionary policies and rammed-through legislation which proved to be #Unconstitutional. The man is not too bright from a social licence perspective. He is also #Captured by anti-social interests.

#Victoria's #politicaldonation system remains a free-for-all ahead of #election.

The #JacintaAllan government is working to devise new donation laws after the #HighCourt last month found previous laws #unconstitutional.

Ahead of the #stateelection in #November, there are no #donationlaws in place - no laws banning #foreign donations, no #limit on donations, & no requirements to #disclose them.

#Labor sources say proposed laws will be brought before parliament next month. #auspol #VICpol
