Let's just be clear that avoiding a conviction won't mean he has cleared his name. There's already been a decision with a civil legal finding that he committed heinous acts.

We need to move past "budget neutral" tax reform. Offsetting new gas taxes with corporate cuts will ignore our structural deficit.
The real question should be What standard of living do we want & what tax/policy settings fund/enable it?
Can't deny/avoid the structural deficit.
Our co-authored Australian Journal of Human Rights article on the value of a Human Rights Act to Western Australia was published.
We highlight how a legislated and implemented HRA can achieve better outcomes for all.

It is unbelievable that corporate Democrats can say this.
Carvilles strategy is to play dead for midterms that won't be free.
Can you imagine how ridiculous people who said this of Hitler in 1933 as he corrupted the legal system, undertook political progress and dismantled democratic institutions?
It's unclear if they have the mettle for this, but the Democrats should be ousting Schumer immediately if they care about a Constitutional republic. He's completely unfit for this moment.

I would contrast McCullum with Geelong Coach Chris Scott.
While McCullum has fairly predictable/religiously consistent approach, Scott will always keep the other coach guessing and try to exploit weaknesses, giving them new looks, slowly deconstructing them.

The moral contortions we're forced into as we remain part of AUKUS.
Totally agree. Destabilising the globe and causing immense harm to a nation to distract from whatever is on those tapes and files.
Absolutely. Yesterday.
Yeah truly horrific. And so clearly aimed at distracting fun his domestic woes. Unsurprising, but still so depressing how comfortable he is destabilising the entire globe for personal gain.
Our closest security partner, flagrantly violating the "rules based order". AUKUS will go down as one of the worst, and most slow moving, policy disasters in Australian history.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.
The Cth Parlinfo website feels like it hasn't had a UX review since the dismissal.
I'd be keen to chat about this in the context of mental health — addressing the social determinants of mental health/suicide through reduced inequality/increased revenue base for core needs (housing, safety etc) and mental health supports.
The release of the mid-year fiscal and economic outlook (MYEFO) has revealed the cost of changes to superannuation tax concessions and the PRRT’s ongoing failure to deliver fair returns to Australians.

@mattgrudnoff.bsky.social, am reading the great paper on how we could raise more than $70B through relatively simple wealth taxes. Does this exclude taxing the resource (mining/gas) sector, meaning more could be raised?

“Existing tax settings allow for (and in some ways facilitate) growing inequality, mounting evidence shows the role of inequality in reducing economic growth,” writes Greg Jericho, Chief Economist at The Australia Institute.

Miners exaggerating tax. Again.
What's new is that this is so demonstrably false.
Will they take down false ads? If you see this ad after today, please let me know.

Leaving aside that its hard to believe her that "it was just about the jeans", her view that being silent was the justified result to "negative press" fails to grapple w the fact that she should have spoken up to clarify for the PoC communities impacted.

So, while the police gets new powers to stop and frisk whoever they want (it’s gonna be brown men and all kinds of women they want to harass) Nazis get to march across the CBD.
Cool beans, Victoria!
Didn't know that, thanks!
Unfortunate that Susan Ley's efforts to undertake collaborative leadership within her party are panned as weak leadership.
Collaborative leadership/governance of an org can work, but if bad actors prioritise their self-interest it crumbles.
Prompts calls for Dutton-style leadership.

The Federal Government has been trying to rush through a change that would allow police and the Home Affairs Minister to cancel someone’s Centrelink payment if they are suspected of a serious crime.
