Did you know that 83% of Australia’s gas is used for exports?

Australia Institute research shows Australia exported enough gas in five years to supply the country for over 20 years.

Time for the ALP backbench to put their electorates before subservience to the Cabinet. Failure to call out neoliberal economic policies, militarism and the plight of working the working class will see the loss of many seats at the next election.

The world faces a grim reality, even if Trump exists in a different one The world is stuck watching a performative series of announcements about meetings that could, may, will happen, involving a president not dealing with the reality that he is in a weak and confused bar...

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation banks millions in public funding. Where does all the money go? Exclusive: Former candidates accuse party of enriching itself at their expense, while insiders lift veil on chaos in Brisbane HQ – and staffers’ contempt for rank-and-file members

Great journalism from Sarah Martin - www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Migration numbers explode under Labor as standards slip - Liberal Party of Australia New data released today shows Labor has no plan to address Australia’s migration crisis.

This is seriously misleading. Migration is still high but it is not ‘exploding’. Net migration in 25-26 may not fall as far as Treasury has forecast (ie 260k) but it will be lower than in 24-25 (ie 305k). www.liberal.org.au/2026/04/15/m...

What is the difference between God and Donald Trump? God knows he is not the president.

Four frames. Angus Taylor and journo. 1. Angus: “We need to decide who we let into this country...” Journo: “We already do, through our immigration process.” 2. A: “Yes, well we need to make sure they respect our values…” J: “They already have to pass a values test.” 3. A: “Well, we need to ensure they don’t breach these values…” J: “We have laws, and consequences for people who break them.” 4. A: “Something something people from Gaza…” J: “It’s hard coming second to Pauline, isn’t it.”

All he’s got.

Angus Hanson

Taylor has only 'vibes and fumes'. no answers on migration You can’t solve today’s problems with racism. Beyond the short-term sugar hit, people see through what the Liberals are saying.

Angus Taylor falling back to the tired dog whistle tactic of claiming migrants for the system Coalition governments put in place

Single frame. Left: Trump at his desk in the Oval Office, MAGA hat on, Macca’s drink cup beside, posting obscenities on his phone. Centre stage Vance with hands in pockets and shoes too big. Blonde functionary bringing huge bunch of flowers to Vance says, “Vice President Vance, the people of Hungary would like to thank you for your invaluable interference…”

Thanks JD.

The latest executive order from US President Donald Trump slaps a 100 per cent tariff on imports of patented drugs

John Lyons has slammed Donald Trump’s nonsense claim that the Strait of Hormuz will “naturally” reopen.
“Surely the logic of that is strange.”
“The Americans haven’t been able to reopen it by sheer force along with Israel.”
“Rambling Trumpism…” 🔥 #Iran
