It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.
Never before seen footage‼️

And the fat piece of shit in Washington is apparently going to recognise Russia's claims on parts of eastern Ukraine.
You should all be totally ashamed, Americans. Absolutely disgusting. Once the leader of the "Free World", now nothing more than hypocritical farce of a nation that supports pedos.
Impeach and put the asshole in jail. He should die there. In disgrace. His presidency should be annulled and the rest of his corrupt administration should be put on trial and thrown in jail.
This is probably the only way the USA regains trust with its traditional allies.
Night and day difference with the replies here vs the cesspit of "X".
America is cooked. Really, really cooked.
How about that.
But America is winning! 😂
Epstein victim Maria Farmer: “Ivana was [Ghislaine’s] best friend… She’d drive by schools… get [girls’] phone numbers… Everybody knew what they were doing.” To shut her up, “they gave me one of those cheap bracelets Ivana was selling on QVC.”
You support fascists. Simple. Fuck off. Don't follow me either. Blocked.
Please change the flag then 👇
I'd be laughing so much harder if it wasn't so sad what is happening over there.
Assuming it is $3.1 million, with the $80,000 pension payment it becomes $3.18 million. If your balance on June 30, 2026, is greater than $3 million (say $3.1 million) then Division 296 tax will count a balance of $3.18 million in its calculations even if your balance at the start of the year was less than $3 million (in your case $2 million) One aspect of Division 296 tax where you have a greater than $3 million balance at the end of the year but a balance of less than $3 million at the start is that it will be calculated as if your year started with a $3 million balance. When determining your super earnings for Division 296 tax purposes you add together your year-end balance with pension payments and then deduct your balance at the start of the year from this. That’s $3.1 million plus $80,000 less $3 million. This will give you total super earnings for Division 296 purposes of $180,000. Despite the large increase in your fund from $2 million to $3.1 million, your Division 296 liability will be significantly less given it won’t include the increase in your total super below the $3 million threshold. The 15 per cent tax will only apply to the percentage that $180,000 represents of $3.18 million or 5.66 per cent. While 15 per cent of $180,000 is $27,000, 5.66 per cent of this results in a Division 296 tax liability of $1528. This assumes there is no change in the proposed tax when – and if – it finally becomes law.
Hilariously, the AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes.
They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year!
Yep a $1.18m increase.
How much extra tax?
$1,528!
OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all
Scientists recorded the sound of two helium atoms laughing.
HeHe.
Susssssan will be knifed inside of a year.
Anus Taylor will take over, lurch the party further to the right, the Coalition will be reformed.
Both Anus and Littleprick will take credit for bringing the Coalition back together.
They know they cannot win an election without being a Coalition.
Rest in peace to George Wendt, responsible for Norm Peterson, one of the most iconic sitcom characters of my lifetime. Cheers big guy. Rest easy.

The federal Liberal Party handed over sensitive voter information to the Exclusive Brethren as part of a mammoth phone campaign in which members of the secretive Christian religious sect made nearly a million calls on behalf of the LNP in the run-up to the federal election.

...it concluded since the landslide was triggered by the melting glacier, and since *that* happened due to rising global temperatures...
This was a signal - and a warning - from our rapidly changing world, heard in every single part of it.
Best we listen up.

Stylised image of the Earth with a bright blue glow around its daytime side.
For 9 days, the whole of our planet rang like a bell.
BONG BONG BONG.
We are all connected by bongs! (No, I don't mean....ok, I might try to disable the replies on this bit.)
And when the paper on all this was published a year later...

For 9 days, this seawater sloshed back and forth like disturbed bath-water, transferring energy into the bedrock of the fjord with every impact...
And that regular 90-second beat rippled out across the WHOLE DAMN WORLD.

But then the waves refused to dissipate. They pounded back and forth across the fjord again and again...
The technical term for this is a SEICHE, pronounced “saysh” - a standing wave in a large body of water - and it can be dangerous as hell.
(In 1844, one in Lake Erie killed 78 people.)

Unsplash photo by Tino Rischawy of a large wave crashing against rock.
The resulting cataclysmic backsplash of water - a MEGATSUNAMI - was around 200 metres tall, and sent 100-metre-high waves racing across the fjord to smash against the other side of it.
(This is still not the crazy bit!)

This is King Christian X Land in eastern Greenland - and outlined in red is Dickson Fjord, first surveyed in 1899.
On the 16th of September 2023, part of the glacier forming its back wall collapsed, plunging 25 million cubic meters of rock & ice into the waters of the fjord...

Instead, in the best collaborative tradition of modern science, researchers across the globe - 68 scientists from 40 institutions in 15 countries - joined forces to track down the signal’s source.
What they found was something astonishing!
(Yes yes, I'm getting there.)

A diagram of the proposed (and completely ludicrous) Hollow Earth 'theory' which claims (you guessed it) the Earth is hollow, aliens live there, and they pilot their flying saucers in and out of it through holes in each pole. Blimey.
In seismology, the term for this is a USO: an Unidentified Seismic Object.
And perhaps if this discovery had leaked into mainstream news in the way potential alien biosignatures tend to do, we’d currently be seeing a big comeback for the HOLLOW EARTH ‘theory’.
Thankfully this wasn't the case.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

NDIS added to Mark Butler's portfolio? Great! So we can expect fuck-all with any beneficial changes or reform then. How did he keep his job?
