Trump steers America into a ditch but shush, don’t tell the media…

Make Gas Giants Pay Gas corporations are making record-breaking profits, and paying almost nothing in tax. It's time to change that.

Because Australia gives so much of our gas away for free, Japan gets it so cheap that it makes a profit selling it on to other countries!

The scourge of short-term thinking

“Planning has become a dirty word in our politics, which has tended to rely on market forces, rather than interventionist government action,” writes former Liberal Party leader John Hewson. satpa.pe/K8kANlJ

The scourge of short-term thinking

“The current war-induced disruption to oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz is the kind of predictable, high-consequence event that Australia’s fuel security analysts have been warning about for more than a decade,” writes John Hewson. satpa.pe/sC6x0AL

The scourge of short-term thinking

"I must also say how disappointed I have been in the responses of both the government and the current opposition to this war," writes John Hewson. “What was urgently needed was an outright condemnation of US–Israeli actions.” satpa.pe/yt5iAXq

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert showing an assembly of renewable energy solutions - solar panels, battery storage, high speed rail, electrified truck freight, EVs and charging infrastructure, wind turbines, and bicycles - put together in a shape that resembles a military tank. A different approach to a massive increase in military spending that would increase Australia's security and sovereignty in times of global unrest.

Best defence.

Has $TRUMP pulled off the world's most brazen crypto scam? Both of the US president's main crypto ventures — $TRUMP and $WFLI — are down 90% from their highs a year ago, leaving investors holding the bag.

"Despite the president’s best attempts to keep the token afloat, $TRUMP has lost over 90% of its value, trading below US$3 for most of the past month after reaching highs of around US$75." www.crikey.com.au/2026/04/16/t...

Is Donald Trump mentally unwell? Does he have dementia? Most psychologists are banned from giving a verdict. But these experts are prepared to speak out. www.theage.com.au/interactive/... via @theage
