I could be wrong but I suspect the widespread anger over gas companies profiteering at the expense of the Australian taxpayer may see the Labor government finally do *something* about it. A half -arsed measure like their gambling ad reforms, but enough to say to voters they did *something*

Also worth noting that wind had the largest effect in cutting power prices here - a very good reminder of the importance of a diverse mix of non-fossil energy sources :)
We had our flu shot today… grateful 😊
A small Australian 2026 #flu update.
22APR2026
🦠It is *not* an early start to the 2026 season. That is a really nice change from several past years.
In the ~12 days since my last update (10APR), detections have risen by 1,602. That's a daily rate of 134.

It's Tuesday, so the markets are open.
That means today is a "Peace Day" at the White House: a day in which our sociopathic president pretends to be reasonable.
But actually he's deranged, and the markets should be going haywire. But their wishcasting—and greed—knows no bounds.
Well said. 🎯

Every day Albo et al frustrate & disappoint Australians with decisions, or lack of them, that fail to support us.
We elected them because they convinced us that they would act in our interests. They lied!

Longer summers are not just more time to spend eating watermelon. No! It’s far more sinister!

“This is important relationship” he says
Pathetic
He’s running around the East trying to avoid the consequences of leaders like him not standing up to Israeli genocide regional aggression and blood-lust
He is a dullard. A supporter of a country which uses dogs to rape & dehumanise
FFS remove him!!
Spot on!
Well done Cathy 😉
Trump TS post featuring an illustration of himself as a Christian faith healer
I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.
Fark!!!!

New in PN: America learns about "personalist regimes" the hard way
"Trump’s second-term swath of destruction doesn’t only prove that the fascist moniker is apt. It also shows that America is living under a personalist regime, and it’s wrecking us."
Apparently child care and Medicare are ‘little scams’ now in the USA .
That not one member of the NPC board has resigned is pretty damning.
Absolute shit being uttered by the Israeli Ambassador at the National Press Club. Disgusting lies and filth. Every journalist there should walk out.
When Trump accidentally DOESN’T lie…
The #SaveAct will rig all future elections for the GOP.
Also pharmaceuticals I think.
