Albanese poised to kill off move to increase taxes on gas giants The government will not increase taxes on gas giants in next month's budget, echoing the industry's argument that exporters are already paying tens of billions of dollars in taxes each year.

Remind me again what's the point of a large parliamentary majority? Maybe it really is just to protect corporate interests

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Screenshot from ABC News site this morning. "Albanese 'devastated' by scenes at protest against Herzog visit." Quotes a radio interview on Triple M Hobart in which he blames protestors for not obeying police instructions about 'a particular route'.

Albanese says he was "devastated" by clashes between police & protestors, but implies it was protestors' fault.

He wasn't 'devastated' by the genocide his government is complicit with in Gaza.

He wasn't 'devastated' by the massacre & mutilation of Palestinian children. #auspol

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

2. ...& that such demonstrations "undermine & delegitimize...my nation's right of its mere existence, & it's contradictory to whatever was said & done by Australia."

So: to mourn massive numbers of Palestinian civilian deaths is unAustralian.

Please don't tell me how to be Australian Mr Herzog.

1 of 2:
Isaac Herzog is told that today's demonstrations in Australia will mourn 70,000 dead Palestinians including 20,000 children, and is asked what his message to the demonstrators might be.

Remembering an interview with Thatcher when the interviewer asked Thatcher what her greatest achievement was, she replied that giving Britain Tony Blair was a great achievement as he didn’t alter any Thatcher policies.

Albo had a chance to wind back Morrison’s regressive policies but had no courage

The people lining up for aid , potentially to be shot, to feed their families, have shown more courage than our leaders waiting for everyone else to agree before they speak up.

Oh Albo, what do you think we have been looking at and speaking about for the past 500+ days?

Sadly we witness our own PM choking on his words, unable to say that the starvation of civilians in Gaza is a breach of international law.

It’s so obvious that Israel does not want those 50 hostages back, so that they can keep blaming Hamas for their genocide on Palestinians.

It’s coming.

The Israeli Ambassador to Australia should not still be here.

A whole LOT worse.

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day.
Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.
