Konrad Benjamin nails the root of the problem: to stop large industries from ripping us all off, politicians need to stop “going to work in the industries that they literally wrote the rules for”🔥
Rules that as Dr Denniss points out, see gas co’s “pay more in PR than PRRT”💥

Apparently there was a "proetst" in Brisbane today & police acted decisively in their first test under the Premier's ban of phrases. (That happened weeks ago with Liam Parry). There was also some swooping. #qldpol

Good way for ColesWorth to capitalise on the current situation.

So, Trump has "prohibited" Israel from attacking Iran and Lebanon...🤔.......meanwhile the Genocide in Gaza continues. Trump is happy with this.

So that's where all

If the numbers fall enough (as planned) they will withdraw it like the UK did.

Trump loves to brag how other people are weak on crime.

In the meantime he's pardoned over 1600 Insurrectionists, DOZENS of sexual predators, and DOZENS of some of the countries biggest drug traffickers.

He also loves to blame fraud on Democrats and he's pardoned DOZENS convicted of fraud.

He's an evil piece of shit, and after 10 years we're closing in on everyone seeing it

He's *dismissing* hundreds of raped kids—and I bet a lot of people who hear him do so will imagine that he's doing something so otherwise unthinkable because some of those kids were his victims

Australian Values compliance for One Nation voters? Well done Angus! Angus Taylor's social media vetting of Australian values for visa holders will be costly, labour-intensive and ultimately untenable.

Abul Rizvi, former Deputy Secretary of the Department of Immigration, has calculated that Angus Taylor’s proposed social media visa check would require 15,000 extra processing staff. Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus 😳

Queenslanders unappreciative: Newman blames Dr Chris Davis for Stafford loss YouTube video by David Marler

Stafford is always an interesting seat to watch in Qld politics. The mid-2014 Stafford by-election stemmed from Campbell Newman's unfair doctors contracts. LNP MP Dr Chris Davis took at stand & vacated the seat. The Stafford people unleashed hell. #qldpol youtu.be/dBNJ3i4kPHM

The Normalisation of Contradiction There are moments in politics when language is no longer used to describe reality, but to overwrite it. This week, Donald Trump declared that the United States has a “very good relationship” with Iran...

Most of what Trump says clashes with reality, yet it easily passes without serious challenge.

The media bears significant responsibility for the normalisation of this warped reality
