this story is paywalled, but the gist is the US authorities are talking up delivering the Virginia class submarines with no real mechanisms to do so - it's a bit pissy and windy, as you'd expect...

Millions of Australians will get a $1,000 instant tax deduction under a new law – here’s how it will work
Graphs showing how little Tax Australia gets in comparison to Norway.
Australia and Norway both have highly profitable resource industries – but Norwegians receive a much larger, fairer share.
Norway taxes oil and gas at 78% and has used that revenue to build the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, now worth $1.9 trillion […]

Greens say community has ‘no confidence’ proposed savings from NDIS will help disabled Australians Jordon Steele-John, the Greens’ spokesperson for disability inclusion, said there is “no confidence” in the community regarding proposed savings from the NDIS, set to be revealed by health minister Mark Butler today. Steele-John told RN Breakfast this morning: People cannot understand, quite rightly, in my opinion, why a government facing a budget, which is ultimately always about choices, would choose to cut their services rather than make the gas exporters pay their fair share of tax, tax Gina Rinehart or Clive Palmer a bit more, or maybe … buy one fewer submarine from Donald Trump rather than take away their ability to connect with their community or get the absolute basics they need to live. Steele-John went on to say disabeled people and their families are “sick of being used as political footballs”. We’re in a situation right now where the state government is saying we cost too much. The federal government is saying we cost too much. And in the middle are disabled people and our families who will end up receiving Less services and support. We will end up without the supports that we need to live. photo of a man in a suit with glasses talking at a mic

07.19 AEST NDIS savings redirected to aged care Tom McIlroy Tom McIlroy The health minister, Mark Butler, will detail savings from the NDIS on Wednesday, and reveal that some of the savings will go to help older Australians with the provision of essential services like showering, dressing support and continence management. Labor is winding back elements of its aged care reforms, removing out-of-pocket costs for non clinical services in the Support at Home scheme. The government has faced criticism from advocates for elderly people, experts and aged care providers, who said these personal care services are essential for people’s independence and ability to stay at home. The minister for aged care, Sam Rae, said the changes will be effective from 1 October this year. Showering, dressing, continence care – these aren’t optional extras. They’re the basics of ageing with dignity, and no older Australian should miss out because of cost. Older Australians, their families and providers told us these services needed to be protected. We’ve listened, and we’re acting.
Don't you fucking dare pit one group of disabled Australians against another

As they fucking should! Implementing punitive measures on vulnerable people is a crime! Saving money at the expense of people's health,well-being & lives is unconscionable-but govt haven'tgot a conscience.

Not a word of this is true
Watching Sky News and the hate being dumped on the NDIS by Laura Jayes and Jane Hume is gross AF.
They only want "profoundly disabled" on the NDIS. And they really want to be the ones who decide who that is.
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

All these little towns are of course one day’s horse-and-cart apart, so a farmer in the middle can do their day trip into town to get supplies. Now that all farmers have a helicopter and orbital-grade whinge generators, they can be demolished.

Pretty much a given, that it can only be used once.
But great news, it will be forever forgotten, just like human existence once it's used.
Mark-up on anything labelled NDIS is a huge issue. Need a new bolt for your four wheeled walker? Couple of dollars at Bunnings. Twenty times as much at Independent Living Specialists
Better NDIS? Free Uni and TAFE?
Seems worth running the gauntlet of lobbyists, donors and spin doctors, don't you reckon?

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.
a. F-37 was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 "Unite the Right" event in Charlottesville, Virginia and attended the event at the direction of the SPL.C. F-37 made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees. Between 2015 and 2023, the SPIC secretly paid F-37 more than $270,000.00. b. F-9 was affiliated with the neo-Nazi organization, the National Alliance and served as an F for the SPLC for more than 20 years. F-9's activities included fundraising for the National Alliance. Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid F-9 more than S1,000,000.00. In 2014, F-9 entered the headquarters of a violent extremist group and stole 25 boxes of their documents. F-9 coordinated payment for the copying of the materials with a high-level SPLC employee who had knowledge the documents had been stolen. The original stolen materials were returned to the violent extremist group in a second illegal entry by F-9. Thereafter, the high-level SPIC employee utilized the documents, in part, as the basis for a story published on the SPLC's Hatewatch website and authored by the employee. Another F. F-39, was blamed for the theft and was paid approximately $6,000.00 by the SPLC to falsely take responsibility for the theft. c. F-unknown was the Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America. In an article published on November 22, 2013, the SPLC described the group as a "millennial reboot of what was once a serious domestic threat. In its prime, the United Klans of America was responsible for, among other things, the 16° Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Ala, which resulted in the deaths of four little girls in 1963."
The Trump administration is big mad that people infiltrated literal Nazi groups and passed docs to the SPLC- and likely FBI agents that work in domestic terrorism. This is exactly the same method the FBI uses with their informants. This indictment is insane.
the extremists the govt alleges have been paid snitches for the SPLC for years are not named in the indictment but there is enough info to identify them if you have some knowledge of the organizations involved... a couple of racists are about to get a lot of angry phone calls from their friends
The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted Tuesday on federal fraud charges alleging it improperly raised millions of dollars to pay informants to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
