A prime-time TV report on renewables and EVs fell apart at the first fact-check.
Misinformation is distorting Australia’s energy debate – and being amplified in mainstream media, Giles Parkinson writes.

Peter Thiel's "Palantir," The Company That Owns The Trump Regime, Just Published Their 22 Point Manifesto For America And It's Terrifying.

Being anti-Netanyahu is not anti-Semitic. It’s anti-corruption, anti-genocide. It’s pro-peace.
Thiel and Palantir are a danger to all we value: privacy, human rights and a check on billionaires who wish to rule the world! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Submarine agency external spending hit record high amid 'secretive' culture review Ray Athwal Ray Athwal Data Journalist. Published 08 April 2026 Australia’s submarine agency is committing record funding to external firms for management and support services while maintaining a “secretive” stance on internal assessments of its own workplace culture. While AUKUS was framed as a means to establish sovereign industrial capability, an analysis of procurement contracts showed the agency has relied on a small group of private providers.
Wtf???
So, no money for NDIS but all the money for AUKUS - and they're outsourcing $$$ to external private firms?!

Sarah Ferguson asks if we should ‘give something back’ to gas giants in exchange for a tax.
David Pocock “why we bargain with them?”
“I don’t think we need to give anything back. We just want a return for our gas!” 🔥 #auspol
Wait what?

134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.

Don't believe the empty threats from the gas industry that they'll leave if Australia taxes its gas exports properly.
Inpex are looking to invest RIGHT NOW in high-taxing Norway. They're taking the piss.

Larissa Waters asks former Treasury chief Ken Henry if it’s too simplistic to say wartime gas profits from the war on Iran can either go to Australians, or to overseas investors & shareholders.
Henry “That’s not simplistic, that’s how it is!” “It is as simple as that.” 💥 #auspol
Media should stop saying Israel is “demolishing” villages in Lebanon. It’s misleading.
The accurate term is ethnic cleansing.
youtu.be/qEMEE6d7nHQ?.... Proof that NO Country should have Nuclear Weapons. I currently fear the USA more than anyone with nukes
Occupied legislators in Australia ban the use of the term "river to the sea" as Israel steals land and mass murders.
You vote Zionist? Then you lose your free speech.
That’s it.
Vote for candidates that support registering AIPAC as a foreign agent.
Remember when middle managers Wong and Marles we called into Head Office and met their Divisional Boss, Hegseth
They came home with an American Flag as a souvenir, all hyped up on the company motto - "Full steam ahead!"
That's when Australians smelt RATS!!

It's been noted before but always bears repeating. The submarines (either US or UK versions) Australia is being offered under #AUKUS are already obsolete. The prospect of continuing to pay the US $2 billion a year, up to a total of $368 billion, is simply absurd.

A renewed US embargo on Cuba is worsening conditions on the island.
It reflects a longer pattern of intervention shaped by ideology as much as strategy, Richard Broinowski writes.

Israel is irredeemable.
It stands for nothing but death and destruction and hate.
It will not stop stealing land, killing civilans, destroying homes and villages, sniping children, lying and raping.

So let’s take the hint. Let’s talk about AUKUS. Let’s talk about why every single Australian with a pulse and a pay packet should be screaming at the government to pull the ripcord on this thing before it becomes the most expensive lemon in the history of the country. "
