social licence: politicians attributing their neoliberal priorities to the public
pub test: journalists attributing their political opinions to the public.
social cohesion: police violence against the anti-genocide public.
the public: pays their mortgages.

I can’t find the CPG narrative about Gina’s money following Joyce. They know, right?

Selective incrementalism

Many others will follow Evelyn A out of UQP. Randa A-F already has. Another Gaza-related cultural tragedy for Australia

This is Evelyn Araluen (UQP’s most successful recent author) not fucking around,
Via Lamestream:

Former President Obama and his family are welcome in Australia ANYTIME. As for the Pedophile who is now in the Whitehouse and his family . Never welcome.

"UQP has indulged the complaints and outrage of lobby groups actively complicit in laundering Australia's economic and political investments in genocide, causing extreme distress to your staff and authors."

Shamefully, UQP has put #ZionistMcCarthyism ahead of integrity. #auspol

I could be wrong but I suspect the widespread anger over gas companies profiteering at the expense of the Australian taxpayer may see the Labor government finally do *something* about it. A half -arsed measure like their gambling ad reforms, but enough to say to voters they did *something*

The fucking contempt of these people.

Sometimes I think journalists are really missing certain simple way of expressing large numbers.

Cost of Submarines: $368bn
Population of Australia: 28m

Cost per living Australian?

Roughly $13,000 each.
Per family of 5? $65,000

Seems like a lot now, doesn't it?

The Point Live: Business and gas companies have their say on gas tax proposals. Representatives from the Business Council, Shell and ConocoPhillips are among those fronting the gas tax senate inquiry today, while the health minister lays out proposed changes to the NDIS.

Today the Gas Tax committee is hearing from Gas industry companies and lobbyists and @amyremeikis.bsky.social and her company of soldiers is on it!!! (Get ready to have a lot of bullshit being called) #PointLive

"Stephen Heydt’s reference to 'the six-word phrase which I can’t say' epitomises the extraordinary damage that is being inflicted on the public sphere by a political class as it seeks to buttress support for Israel." #qldpol #auspol

What gives, @albomp.bsky.social
@jimchalmers.bsky.social? Why are we being cheated out of *our* national wealth?

Medical Research Matters

For months, I have implored the Albanese Government to back the medical research sector by fully disbursing MRFF funds. You can too -- it's not too late. Join my campaign and tell the our federal government that 'Medical Research Matters' - today www.moniqueryan.com.au/medical_rese...

Medical research delivers almost $4 of economic value for every $1 invested, with clinical trials producing even higher returns. The governement has money put aside for this industry already. That money is sitting unspent in the Future Fund while the sector struggles.

So, you've decided to write a terrible EV piece. An early column, because I'm away this Friday.

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

The Australia Institute suggests a flat 25 per cent export tax would raise $17 billion and bring domestic prices down.

"An export tax solves all those problems," co-CEO Dr Richard Denniss told the inquiry.

In 2001, as Australia argued over refugees, borders, and national identity, John Howard delivered a line that would come to define an era:

“We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come.”

Howard’s legacy: Whenever the Coalition finds itself under pressure the reflex action is to invent border anxiety, migration tension, and questions of who belongs here and on what terms. It’s all they’ve got.

Politicians, media hacks & anyone claiming AFP "overstepped" got a reality check today. Court heard evidence BRS had “advanced plans” to scuttle overseas & made a “deliberate decision” to hide this from authorities.

Time to stop making excuses for the elite.
