Engulfed by The Brown, what a grim way to go.

These laws are unconstitutional and they deserve to be chucked out.

Listen to Executive Officer, Bart Shteinman on PM overnight discussing why the anti-protest laws in QLD and NSW are anti-democratic and it's a good thing they've been struck down in NSW!

Gas tax fight escalates ahead of budget as inquiry begins Calls are growing for a new 25 per cent tax on gas exports to increase the petroleum resource rent tax on windfall profits, but companies have warned any changes would jeopardise Australia's energy su...

As the govt weighs options to raise revenue, balance the budget & confront the global energy crisis, one solution is staring them in the face: replace the broken PRRT with a fair tax on gas exports. It's long overdue, and has widespread support… www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Within 5 years time somebody in an inner urban area is going to open a cafe where you can book a table and an EV charger at the same time. Probably at converted petrol station

Lilydale is useful primarily as a starting point for the Warburton rail trail.

Hell yeah, looks good and I bet it tastes incredible.

Ka pie?

I made smoked lamb Kiwi-style (with short crust bottom and flaky, puffy tops) pies from scratch. #kai #food 🥧🍽️🍜

I need to put this to the test, but it sounds absolutely plausible.

obviously they would have; but they would have done it very badly, if that mitigates things at all

love that energy

living in a melbourne cbd high rise, you could spot the locals dropping down for a coffee (wandering around outside in dressing gown, sometimes slippers, while everyone else is at least moderately formal)

few activities in life are higher paid, for most people, on an hourly basis, than refinancing your home loan

(I'm aware that some sort of generational change has happened; certainly my 12yo nephew is very unhappy when I refer to it as soccer, so somewhere in between my 35yo baby sister and the nephew the terminology changed)

and you were doing so well until soccer

I start by telling them that eating kiwi is illegal in NZ.

i will never stop getting furious at foreigners calling kiwifruit "kiwi".

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’m BEGGING people from the USA to take a look at the context of political threads. Not only do other countries exist, other English speaking countries exist. There are even people discussing non-English speaking countries’ politics in English. THIS IS NOT HARD & WILL AVOID YOU LOOKING LIKE A DICK

Rents fell in Austin when they built more homes. Good things are possible when you do planning reform 🏗️

I don’t believe in the horrific types of gender testing that they do for the Olympics BUT I do think Barnaby Joyce should be genetically tested to see precisely how much of his body by volume is liver.

You're hearing it more and more... it's time to tax gas exports!

More than 50 community organisations, including ACOSS and Oxfam, are calling for a 25% export tax.

Australians are fed up with the gas industry not paying its fair share.

This is an opportunity for bold generational reform, not tinkering around the edges.

Momentum is growing for significant tax reform in the May budget.

Dozens of groups are today calling for a tax on gas exports of at least 25% - a move that would raise $17 billion each year.

I would eat these pies.

“It’s okay if I’m getting scammed because I feel bad about the world” is another example of the political hairshirt that a lot of people are wearing right now
