We haven't seen budget decisions like this since Joe Hockey in 2014 As far as tough budget decisions go, we haven't seen anything on this scale since Joe Hockey's ill-fated 2014 effort.

If only Speers had shown the courage and integrity to be this critical of the Morrison clown show. Maybe he wouldn’t be considered such a joke (privately) by actual journalists. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

I drove an EV for three days. It saved me money but cost me time With no end in sight to soaring fuel prices, 7.30 decided to take an EV for a test drive to see how far it could take our reporter, and if Australia's EV charging network stacks up.

An ignorant article from “our” ABC. Why this individual’s feelings about EVs and his ignorant impressions are of relevance I really don’t know. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

The inability of most journalists, even in “our” ABC, to report on the multiple assassinations of fellow journalists by Israel is a shame that all should carry for the rest of their lives.

It’s always fascinating to see the crimes someone thinks are forgivable, vs. those for which they cannot extend any forgiveness. With the far right, sexual assault always seems to fall into the “forgivable” category. This speaks volumes about Joyce and the rest of the One Nation cesspool of scum.

Abbott exists as an object lesson. He shows us that no matter what, being 100% wrong 100% of the time is absolutely no impediment to advancement in conservative Australian politics.

Anger, mistrust and relief: The mood inside Iran after the ceasefire While the bombs may have stopped falling on Iran for now, Iranians who've been speaking with ABC News say the mood on the ground is anything but happy.

Trump Derrangement Syndrome doesnt exist, but trusting Trump to do anything he says should be classed as a mental illness. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

It is inconsistent for people to venerate companies which are heavily data driven, lauding their success, but think governments somehow make decisions using entrails or “the feels” and that’s okay.

Scientists thought there was a black hole at the centre of our Galaxy. It turns out it may be something even stranger | BBC Sky at Night Magazine Could Sagittarius A* at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy be not a black hole, but dark matter instead? A new study suggests so.

A new study suggests the Milky Way’s center may not host a black hole but a dense dark matter core that mimics its gravity, explaining star motions and even the observed “shadow.” If true, it could reshape how galaxies form

Do you think we could convince JD Vance to come over and campaign for Hanson and Taylor? He really did wonders for Viktor Orbán, Iran etc.

Kennedy is a eugenicist.
His words and choices to date provide ample evidence of his deep hatred for disabled ‘weaker’ people. All his ‘policy’ is driven by one goal: make the population ‘fitter’ by ‘weeding out the unfit.’
Speak of him as the open, rank eugenicist he is.

In the 80s Australia’s entire Internet connection was mostly paid by JPL, connecting from Melbourne University (munnari) to the U.S. All universities and researchers hung off this tiny little link, which from memory was 128k for the entire nation. Memories.

BRS finally arrested. I will not comment on his guilt or innocence: that’s for a court to decide. I will comment that this arrest has taken far, far too long, and I hope the cowardly War Memorial will finally remove his VC until this matter has been resolved.

I’m a bit late on my 2026 resolutions, but here it is: anyone who says “let’s take this human focused task which requires empathy and judgement, and get an AI to do it” gets punched in the throat.

Is anyone sick to death of ABC leading with Trump’s criticism of Australia? I don’t give a flying fuck about what a senile orange paedophile thinks of our response to his war crimes in the Middle East, and if he doesn’t like it, cancel AUKUS. Do everyone a favour.
