It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations.

A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes.

We are completely lost.

If the UAE enters the war, Australia needs to pull it's E7 out straight away. It was there for a purpose to protect civilians, and energy infrastructure in third party nations. If you're not a third party, mission should be over.

Mockler: If we’ve won so decisively, how come gas prices are very likely to still spike?

Just caught up with Albo's gambling ad restrictions - what a cop out. Just f**king ban them!
Exactly the same as tobacco advertising, just harms the community. Pathetic.

Every week the federal government delays a 25% gas export tax costs the Australian public around $350 million in revenue.

That's $350 million a week that could have gone to funding essential services!

Glad to hear it. I was freaking out and thought other people might be too. Chatting to Richard and Matt helped me put things in perspective a little better.

It’s not OK, it’s just reality. Low income earners will bear the brunt of this price shocks

This is what corruption and wasting taxpayers' money looks like

Good.

“If this truly is the decisive decade for climate action, philanthropy should rise to meet it – with more capital flowing, and flowing faster. Because in the end, the pace of capital shapes the pace of change,” writes Arielle Gamble, CEO of Groundswell Giving.

1/Helpful piece on how 🇦🇺's philanthropic Private Ancillary Funds work

Turns out a donor can put $1M into a PAF & claim an immediate tax deduction.The Govt gives up the tax revenue straight away. But at a min distribution of 5%/yr, it can take ~15 yrs before charities receive an equiv amount of $$🤯

If the govt had brought in a 25% tax on gas exports when it came to power in 2022 it would have raised $68bn by now and the missed revenue is growing every second.

This is normal under authoritarian regimes.

“I was expecting an attack on climate science,” Dr. Marvel said. “But actually, who they went after first was pediatric cancer research, Parkinson’s research, & childhood vaccines. I was completely unprepared for an attack on science, because it is a means of finding out and telling the truth.”

Like ex-PMs Tony Abbott and John Howard did for George Pell?

Are we sensing a pattern?
