ALP too scared to take on the gas industry that strips billions from our country each year; but not shy about kicking the crutches out from under hundreds of thousands of disabled Australians. So gutsy Albo.

Headline from the AFR "Time to end welfare for the wealthy, says big business"

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?
You mean the tax dodging trusts? No?
You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No?

No you mean the NDIS FFS

I’ve no idea how he thinks of anything to say. Fifty something interviews a season, every season. There’s only so much you can say, even less after a loss. I’d be well past “no comment” every week by now.

When we look at way #GraceTame & #BrittanyHiggins have been treated by by politicians, media & social media trolls it will be a miracle if a majority of women who have been abused will ever try to seek justice. The cards are absolutely stacked against them.

How will history regard the Albanese government? On turning a blind eye to war crimes in Iran, Gaza and Lebanon

Australia has done nothing while Israel has assassinated journalists, medics, aid workers, diplomats, foreign & spiritual leaders. Through the war crimes & illegal invasions, Albanese has done nothing even to dissuade Israel – no sanctions, no support for arrest warrants.
Is there even a red line?

MY OPINION: I don't want the LNP or Labor to "rule," ever!

"Same mining multinationals. Same four banks. Same supermarket duopoly. Same media owners. Same property speculation engine. Same gas exporters paying almost no resource rent."

SAME RACISM!

We need to smash the duopoly. #auspol

Single frame. Man standing in front of woman in wheelchair says: “Instead of complaining about the expensive nuclear subs we may never see, or our increasing expenditure on war machinery, maybe think about how properly funding YOUR NEEDS makes us LESS SAFE as a country…”

Priorities.

Sydney summers are now hotter and nearly 50 days longer, study finds For every 10 years since 1990, Sydneysiders have experienced an extra 15 days of summer, new research has found.

Trump as Jesus. He posted this on Truth Social

How are we to take seriously a religious movement that is furious about Trump’s blasphemous AI jesus post but totally chill with all the pedophilia, all the genocide, all the fascism, all the extra judicial murders, all the ecocide, all the rape and blackmail?

Yesterday Israel bombed an ambulance in Lebanon, killing paramedic Hassan Badawi

Over the last two & a half years Israel systematically targeted healthcare workers in Gaza, murdering hundreds, and the failure of the world to take action means Israel is free to do it again.

Status in academia is often associated with number of papers published, conferences addressed.
The academics that follow that path are already inclined to seek attention.

Meridionally consistent decline in the observed western boundary contribution to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Western boundary observations in the Atlantic suggest a meridionally consistent decline in the ocean overturning circulation.

New study finds the "canary in the coal mine" for the #AMOC: a consistent decline of the western overturning circulation, down from 20 to 15 Sv during 2004-2023 at 26° N. 🌊
AMOC "could be at or near a critical tipping point, potentially leading to its collapse".

What needs to be done can be quite simple.
Start a fire in the laundry… block the toilets…

I understand that oil paid for in yuan is allowed passage. But I hadn’t heard of the ‘tollbooth’. Is it true, or just another yankee fiction?
OTOH, the charge doesn’t sound too different to the insurance premium they are no longer paying due to the war.

Under a proposed gambling shakeup, children will only be able to access their Sportsbet accounts at recess and after school.

“Go about your business” but also “think of others” are two diametrically opposed statements when it comes to the vast majority of Australians

More assertive on China? Will they even notice a flea bite?

I often wonder if Israelis know how tired the world is of Israel.
I’ve had Israel and its atrocities on my tv news for 60 years. It’s a never-ending horror show.

A disgraceful move by the National Press Club to platform Israel’s ambassador to Australia today after Israel overnight introduced an apartheid death penalty regime for Palestinians.

Can’t touch him. Diplomatic immunity.

Yes, definitely suggesting the charge-out rate is the pay rate.
Same old story. Telling lies to foster discontent.

A statement on behalf of the Australian Cartoonists Association regarding James Hillier aka Nordacious and the QLD Government:

How the Iran war compels a rethink of US alliance ANALYSIS: As the world wrestles with a crisis of the United States’ making, now is the moment for Australia to rethink its alliance.

Iran war is #Trump Vietnam. Iran will win war on economic grounds. Australia must get out of #Aukus as USA is unreliable partner & has diminishing world influence.

Congrats, you were right!

That would be a good result. I was thinking normal service might resume. Orient win games they’re supposed to lose… and lose games they should win.

There was nothing wrong with the French nuclear subs that we were paying extra to convert to conventional power. More suited to our needs than the ones we might get in 20 years.
No idea why we need subs, we’ll be getting by without any for quite some time.

“Trump and Big Tech have formed a diabolical union” @rbreich.bsky.social

Immense power for oligarchs, surveillance technology abused for fascist control, and AI development with almost zero regulations. #Panorama #FourCorners

I like how I can choose to prioritise Aus websites using DuckDuckGo. Tyre deals in California aren’t much use to me.

Pleased that #ABC has rejected crude attempts to fire #JohnLyons who reports with quality and dignity and honesty about all issues relation to USA and its international impact. Keep going strong John.
