This is seriously misleading. Migration is still high but it is not ‘exploding’. Net migration in 25-26 may not fall as far as Treasury has forecast (ie 260k) but it will be lower than in 24-25 (ie 305k). www.liberal.org.au/2026/04/15/m...
Seriously misleading indeed. We should expect better from the Liberal Party.
The Strait of Hormuz crisis is doing something a decade of subsidies and mandates struggled to achieve:
making millions of people want an EV who previously discounted them.

As Jewish Australians, we are devastated to learn of the Israeli assault on Lebanon yesterday. We urge @albomp.bsky.social and Foreign Minister Wong to speak out against Israel's violent escalation and call on the Government to take decisive action by demanding an immediate ceasefire.
It seems that this disgusting attack on Lebanon has been timed to wreck the peace process. This should be obvious to everyone. Lebanese deaths are just collateral damage to this immoral state.
Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu
He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli
So sorry to our Australia’s Lebanese communities who must think all we care about is the price of fuel. 😔

With the US’s eager support, the Israeli military has killed over 1,500 people and displaced over 1.2 million in Lebanon since March 2.

Jean Baudrillard's work on terrorism and symbolic exchange is useful for understanding why Trump and his allies are losing, and Iran are winning.

Australia is missing out on over $2 million EVERY HOUR without a 25% gas export tax.
While massive gas export companies are making a fortune on skyrocketing gas prices, everyday Australians are paying the price.

Manipulation of financial markets only favours the richest people in the world.
This confirms that Trump is either Red Skull or HYDRA himself and has been reanimated or cryogenically preserved to keep civilization from reaching peace and kindness
Fed Chair Powell was asked if the world is in an era of frequent supply shocks. He responded by dismissing recent shocks as "one-offs."
That's not where my thinking is. As outlined in the book "Permacrisis," there are reasons to suggest that we're in a world of more frequent and more violent shocks.

Australian beer drinkers pay more tax than gas companies pay in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax.
A 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17 billion every year! #auspol
Four frames. Title: “The rules”. Albo and Penny Wong at a lectern. 1. Albo: “Some of you have asked if rules still apply, so we’d like to clear things up.” Wong: “Obviously we shouldn’t kill!” 2. Albo: “However, if you hurt or kill someone and enough people agree they were bad, then the rules aren’t up to us.” Wong: “It’s a ‘matter for them’” 3. Albo : “Also, if you get someone else to do the killing for you and someone accuses you of it, that’s ‘a conspiracy’” Wong: “Against the rules!” 4. Plus, if thousands of innocent people get killed when you kill the bad person, you must focus on the six people you saved.” Wong: “That’s the rule!”
The rules.

Iran's strikes on the Gulf Arab states could backfire. They could reverse their policy of refusing the US permission to strike Iran from their soil — or even join the fight alongside the US. https://bit.ly/4chtkOm
"We live deep in an era of what I call “angertainment”, fuelled by the reality that our opinions are formed on platforms that mine our attention with algorithms that reward outrage and shock-value: social media."
The scurge of social media is upon us? 😱😖😎
