Dave Sharma on Capital Hill saying ALP shouldn't be scared of a debate. I have only seen LNP shut down any attempt for a debate on anything "I move the member not be heard" at each attempt to debate something.

@ShazbuzJames A father & son approached me as I handed out Yes flyers. The father says "no way" & kept walking. His son returned & said "I'll take one". His father started ripping into him. His son said "if you took the time to read it, instead of listening to Fordham, you would vote Yes too".

@murpharoo @mpbowers I was impressed with @BridgetArcherMP for supporting the suspension of standing orders so the Federal ICAC Bill could be debated. Bridget represents her constituents. Bullying is not an appropriate in any workplace, even if the LNP has a lot to hide from ICAC.

@Merlinman10 @yasmin_poole When friends complain that their young daughters are outspoken to the parents, I tell them that they are just stating their dislike at a request or event and not to knock it out of them because in years to come, you want them to stand up for their rights and own beliefs.

Totally agree. If you think you are too well off to accept it, donate it to a charity.
If you genuinely feel you're doing OK & don't need $300 off your power bill then donate $300 to a charity. Cost of means testing would chew up a lot of money which would be false economy. The rich are always on about 'taking responsibility', so do that & donate it.🐝.#auspol.
