I am so enraged that the Albanese govt is cutting the NDIS - kicking off 160,000 and shrinking it by an overall 300,000 by 2030 - yet refuse to tax gas exporters 25%.

Taxing gas revenue would collect $17b a year - more than enough to keep funding the NDIS!!!

But no. Screw disabled peeps 🙃

"The WNBA is losing money and isn't worth the investment."

Yes, that's exactly why NBA-backed investors are investing hundreds of millions of dollars into bids to get teams.

And why there is a new TV deal starting next year at $200 million per year.

And this is with ESPN trying to bury the WNBA for years!

What many don’t know is that when the W started, games were on NBC, Lifetime, local, and many arenas were full. Then the MNBA side of things decided women weren’t worth the effort of promoting or negotiating good tv deals anymore.
