Also other comments; "doesn't pass the pub test" is excessively overused by pollies in Australia
Also fuck mortgage brokers, if ever a job had its certification obtained by pulling from a cereal box it's definitely realo brokers. Just deal directly with the financier imo

Growing frustration in real estate industry over Qld seller disclosure laws Real estate experts say Queensland's seller disclosure laws, which were introduced in August, are fuelling 'gazumping' and leading to unnecessary costs.

As someone going through the (painful) property buying process & had 5 offers knocked back, it's interesting how diff realo's differ when submitting offers. The good agencies don't leave the option of being 'gazumped' to be possible

A Reddit user has meticulously kept a diary of Trump’s daily victory claims.

It should form part of every historical archive on the planet.

Brace yourself, here goes 🧵👇

The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity.

It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030.

Taxing the rich is a global necessity.

He literally had the nickname in New York circles of 'Don the Con' back in the 90's.. It's amazing how being a celeb or on tv can erase memories. I also believe he went under several pseudonyms when dealing with the press to push narratives, the first name often being John. Con artists never change.

So utterly grotesque. The people coordinating this can stand protected by the Moreton Bay Council in name but it is still humans making these decisions. I don't know how they sleep comfortably at night.

Former NRL star Chris Walker charged with alleged DV offences Former Queensland State of Origin player Chris Walker is due to face a Gold Coast court tomorrow after his arrest last night.

Bloke, maybe 25 years ago now, once grabbed my then girlfriends arse when at the Goldie casino after a big win at the blackjack table. Cobs always been a grub of a human.

A backpacker who killed a Tasmanian sex worker now runs a cafe in Germany In 2020, a German backpacker strangled a Tasmanian sex worker, then fled with her mobile phone and cash. His version of events was accepted by an Australian court, which jailed him for manslaughter. N...

Seriously don't read if you don't wish to be deeply saddened. Absolutely wild that prosecutors in Tasmania failed to, in any which way, adequately do their job. And gross of the courts when they treat ones profession as if that makes them less of a human

‘Worst thing I’ve ever seen’: CSIRO slashes climate modelling jobs Australia’s science agency is cutting more than 100 jobs in its Environment Research Unit, which critics say will crush our capacity to predict climate change.

CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government.

We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists.

Most certainly not cynical. It's a great way to get the ear of a pollie. I've seen it firsthand.

"If the public must pay their fair share to see the Twelve Apostles, why don’t multinational fossil fuel companies have to pay more to drill for gas in the waters around them?” writes Louise Morris, Advocate at The Australia Institute.

I'd argue Australia is decidedly more realistic of becoming the next state of the USA over Canada given how placid the man running Aus has become. I genuinely don't think I can name a PM that has been as underwhelming as Albanese. That's what I get for having hope of any sort.

The unwinding of the damage caused in the (short) amount of time Elon Nazi Musk was given free rein in Donald "Phoney Soprano" Trump's administration will be excruciatingly long if not impossible. That's even if the Dems would bother given their complete lack of backbones

So then what is the point of the National Anti-Corruption Commission if nobody is punished for undertaking actual corruption when found to have done so? Let's just let all these public "servants" pilfer and fuck over ordinary citizens of Australia then. What bullshit!

Lol the best the Nationals can throw up is Matt Canavan???? The LNP is an utter joke. A country is only as strong as its opposition which at a time of global conflicts & uncertainty economically equates to Australia being in an ordinary spot. Do better you useless wankers

Up to $1.4 billion in medical research remains unused under government cap Researchers say securing funding has become increasingly tough, with many left with no choice but to spend a disproportionate amount of time applying for grants.

In 2014 Ross Gittins described the MRFF as an accounting trick (www.smh.com.au/business/med...) to hide deficits rather than fund more medical research. How right he was www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

Reducing inequality means taxing capital more — including inheritances Intergenerational inequality will only be dealt with by taxing the people that have the money, not by cutting the taxes of those who don't have it.

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

I'd like to start proposing, instead of naming the faceless corporations, we in fact name CEO's or Chairs or Managing Director's in their place. They sit behind a company's name but it is still humans that make the decisions behind a businesses directives.
