Fix the budget with more tax on gas? The world has changed since Pocock’s viral video A popular campaign to force multinational gas exporters to pay their “fair share” for the nation’s finite resources is missing the new elephant in the room.

This is total bullshit.

"Australia’s fuel security is now directly tied to the nation’s gas exports."

Australians are being played by Rinehart and Hanson, and the media is helping – Amy Remeikis Legacy media's refusal to scrutinise One Nation is going to hurt the country

It should worry you that the One Nation candidate on track to win Farrer thinks it is "above his paygrade" whether Gina Rinehart is funding the party.

Kamala Harris Just Lit Trump the Fuck Up Three minutes on camera, no raised voice, full autopsy. Somebody finally said it.

You're hearing it more and more... it's time to tax gas exports!

More than 50 community organisations, including ACOSS and Oxfam, are calling for a 25% export tax.

Australians are fed up with the gas industry not paying its fair share.

The new head of the Australian military is taking his first international trip to the US as part of the $375 billion AUKUS scam.

While there, he will be the keynote speaker at a $ 5,000-a-head corporate event run by former Minister for Defence Industry Christopher Pyne.

The system is rigged.

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.

He’s just burning your tax money.

Friday, Brisbane protesters sing & dance to John Farnham’s Two Strong Hearts - ‘River to the Sea’
Saturday, 20 arrested for saying the exact same words in a chant.

So if you wear a wig & dance you won’t be arrested. The inconsistency is utterly humiliating for David Crisafulli.

"The whole NSW government, from Minns down, as well as the Coalition which voted with it, should hang its collective head in shame at having been party to attempting such a disgraceful assault on one of our most fundamental freedoms — to assemble and exchange views." @marquelawyers.com.au #nswpol

Australia needs an independent defence policy that makes us safer, not one that ties us closer to unhinged billionaires like Trump.

We should not be locking ourselves deeper into US weapons systems and dependence on a country whose politics can shift overnight.

A 25% tax on gas exports could end the gas shortages being engineered by the gas industry, cut energy bills and ensure there is enough gas for Australians.

Good week for freedom of speech in Australia, bad one for imperious governments and lazy legislators --

On Wed, High Court voided Victoria's unfair donation cap scheme because of major party loopholes.

Yesterday, High Court knocked back the latest round of NSW's restrictions on protest rights.

Ham-fisted embrace of 'Australian values' exposes a hollowness Angus Taylor’s latest attempt to grasp any sort of relevance has laid bare the raw politics at the heart of Australia’s conservative movement

Whose values, exactly?

Cowardly and racist: Paul Keating assails Angus Taylor’s migration policy The former prime minister has launched a scathing attack on Angus Taylor and the Coalition’s migration policy, saying it is racist and grounded in cowardice.

Great to see this from Paul Keating. Former Labor prime minister Paul Keating has accused Angus Taylor of cowardice and racism over his plans to overhaul the nation’s migration system, saying the Liberal Party is simply copying the “dumb bigotry” of Pauline Hanson.

The thing is... it's always been like this, even since the days of Oldfield and Etteridge. They've never been close to anything other than as a vehicle for grift, so there's never been pressure to professionalise...

NSW’s highest court strikes down anti-protest law introduced in wake of Bondi beach terror attack Court finds law – which effectively meant protesters could not march without risk of arrest – is unconstitutional

We said this law was unconstitutional, and it was unconstitutional. Not because we're clever, you could spot the invalidity from Jupiter. Politicians make these ridiculous laws knowing they'll be struck down, as a measure of their own cowardice and lack of seriousness.

Controversial laws to restrict protests in NSW struck down by top court The laws, rushed through parliament after the Bondi Beach terrorist attack, have been found to be unconstitutional by the state's highest court.

NSW protest laws brought in after Bondi Beach attack deemed 'unconstitutional' by NSW Court of Appeal…

“He cheated on the golf course. He cheated on his taxes. He cheated on his wives. He cheated the business contractors he stiffed. He tried to cheat in the 2020 election. And now he’s trying to cheat on the 2026 midterms - because he knows he can’t win.”

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

It’s breathtaking the hypocrisy of Angus Taylor to watch right now him demand immigrants uphold tolerance, equal opportunity and non - discrimination while peddling in the opposite with every breath. You cannot claim to have values that seek to discriminate.

When Pauline Hanson repeated the $300m false claim about Ben Roberts-Smith to Sky’s Chris Kenny, it was not challenged once.
No wonder she sticks to Sky After Dark, her safe zone. 🙄 #auspol

Look what arrived in the mail! One chapter in and can’t wait to devour the rest. Congratulations, @amyremeikis.bsky.social

Pauline Hanson in a trainwreck crucified on Ch10 after claiming it’s cost $300m to pursue Ben Roberts-Smith, then refusing to name her source🙄
“That’s not accurate — the entire budget of the office of the special investigator in its existence is $261m for 53 investigations”🔥💥

The world intelligence agencies have a two week window to leak the complete Epstein Files. It’s actually a very prudent and economical act of national defense. We can’t keep letting him put us through this.
