From the AFR's analysis, the Government's superannuation tax changes would result in someone who increased their super by $1,180,000, to a total sum of $3,180,000 would be paying an extra...$1,528 in tax.

The superannuation tax changes are a good idea and would make our tax system fairer. #auspol

Nicole Rose doesn’t have a law degree which is very unusual, if not scandalous, for a quasi-judicial body like NACC. $612,980 yr Deputy Commissioner.

Why is Gina Rinehart speaking at an ANZAC Day event? Where did she serve?

Why is Gina Rinehart speaking about politics at an ANZAC Day event? Which seat is she MP for?

Love this response from Sally McManus. Going to university is not elitist. Getting educated and learning about the world is not elitist. Gaining skills that you contribute to society is not elitist. The Liberals’ anti-intellectualism anti-university “elitism” crap is totally Trumpist #DontRiskDutton

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Peter Dutton has revealed another astute share trading move confirming he dumped his BHP shares in 2008 two days before the mining giant slashed 3,300 jobs.

But he’s denied any inside knowledge on the decision that sparked an 8.5% slump in the share price.

AUKUS exemption to U.S. defense trade controls doesn't cover nuclear subs, officials say The controls create hurdles to defense industry collaboration on U.S. Virginia-class sub production.

So, surprise, surprise, it turns out that the USA isn’t as open to sharing technology under #AUKUS as Defence Minister Richard Marles has claimed. Another reason why we need a no-holds-barred Senate inquiry to lift the lid off this radioactive can of worms. #auspol

Liberals are putting Family First 2nd on their Senate how-to-vote.

Family First will:

– Allow religious schools to fire gay teachers
– Deny women reproductive healthcare options
– Strip rights from gender diverse people

What are the Liberals doing?

There has been criticism of Peter Dutton's relationship with billionaires like Gina Rinehart and what that would mean for him standing against them if he was prime minister.
Like clockwork, there is a story from Coalition 'sources' that the relationship between Rinehart and Dutton has cooled

Here's how to write a headline

Retaliatory tariff ideas:

how it started… how it’s going…

two elections in a row, the liberal candidate has been a last minute no-show for the #kooyong climate forum.

too afraid to address the community in the town hall where sir robert menzies once proudly stood.

Imagine any other world leader saying this about another country.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit?

Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Pete Hegseth allegedly having a Russian email address is the least surprising thing I’ve read today.

Screenshot of the Atlantic Signal exchanges, including Michael Waltz saying "the first target - their top missile guy - we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend's building and it's now collapsed".

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Ossoff would make a brilliant minority leader.
