A thread:

The PM said he wanted women to rise but not at the expense of men. It's time white men stopped governing our country.51% of our population are women. It's time women were better represented in parliament.

The government won't fly the Aboriginal flag in parliament - the same institution that stole land from the first peoples, stole children, culture, committed genocide. It's time Aboriginal people were better represented in parliament.

Immigration keep an innocent family locked up on an island and treat refugees with cruelty. It's time we had settled refugees represented in parliament.

Australia was ranked the worst country on climate policy in 2019. If the world continues the way it is, our kids won't have a world. It's time scientists were represented in parliament.

The university sector was one of the worst hit sectors in the pandemic with rises in humanities degrees - the same degrees that teach critical thinking. Education from early childhood to uni needs a bigger voice, it's time teachers were represented in parliament.

1 in 5 Australians have a diagnosed mental illness. Historically treatment has been cruel and the illness is stigmatised. It's time people with mental illness were better represented in parliament.

18% of Australians have a disability. That's nearly 1 in 5 people. It's time people with a disability were better represented in parliament.

White men think they deserve the majority spot at the table, the majority voice. But they don't. Our country is full of diversity who need representation. The table needs to change. White men don't own the table. It's time parliament represented all.
