Labor in #SouthAustralia needs to understand that a simple measure like free or 50c public transport for at least a couple of months is not optional. It keeps PHON on the sidelines and better (can't say good) policy in the frame of reality. They learnt nothing last weekend I guess?
Interesting read. The transition to renewables is getting harder to stop in spite of the major parties pushing gas (and coal in the case of the #LNP)

Nothing is sacred to these people, except silencing any criticism of Israel it seems

Machado offered to share her Nobel Peace Prize with Trump if she could run Venezuela.
Maduro’s VP offered to give Trump 30 million barrels of oil if their regime could remain in power.
Trump took the oil.
The AFR's 'No backward steps' article on Chris Bowen is typical right wing media slop that misses the point entirely and intentionally.
Reframing the climate "debate" in right-wing terms and demeaning what amounts to the little the ALP has done shows just how this system works.
No link even.

I presume Barnaby will be resigning from his seat post haste #yeahnah #hypocrite
The only reason the people are laughing in the clip is because they recognise themselves and can't believe the audacity of the monkey to call it in.
The answer? Unions I expect...

100% agree. The fact that generations of knowledge and thinking can be "vacuumed up" and used as a reason to suppress the poor (which is all of us at this point) speaks to a disconnect from humanity
Didn't Wilson also use the franking "campaign" to illegally gather contact information of rich retirees to market his funds to them? Maybe some of those people that invested have seen through it and he needs fresh victims?
Angie McMahon's Like A Version of this song is SO appropriate for the times
So good that Thelma Plum came in higher than Sticky Fingers

How do you get to distance yourself from politically/ideologically loaded donations made by your husband, while wanting to directly influence the funding of institutions that have nothing to do with you?
Either Albanese knew about Segal's relationship with Advance, in which case his judgement is atrocious, or he failed to apply basic due diligence, in which case his judgement is atrocious.
But, no doubt, there'll be zero consequences. Most media won't even report it.

Jillian Segal and her cohorts, constantly reference something called "legitimate" or "acceptable" criticism of Israel.
Define exactly what "legitimate" or "acceptable" criticism of Israel is?
Where? When?
If you demand to legislate it, then you should be able to show examples of it - what is it?
But they generally 'exclude' effects such as house prices from their decisions (at least that's been the MSM excuse in the past for some questionable decisions)
"First, as an indulgence taken purely on behalf of readers, let us agree that the federal Coalition can be put aside. That seems only fair, given that the Coalition seems so determined to be irrelevant." #ouch

Approving this would be the greatest giveaway of Australia’s natural resources ever.
$200 billion +of Australia’s gas given royalty free to Woodside.
It is against Australia’s national interest.
Selling Australians out to corporate interests.

Other countries tax their oil and gas industries. Australia subsidies ours.
Our research found while gas prices boomed in 2022, LNG companies made windfall gains of up to $40 billion. PRRT take increased by less than $1 billion.
It's time to fix the tax loopholes that Big Gas exploits. #auspol
I think it is partially due to the Senate not changing until 1 July. They will want to wait for the new Senators so legislation is easier to pass (theoretically). I'm hoping the Greens will hold them to account at least a bit
Canada sub proposal: 12 large Air Independent Propulsion subs with first delivery in 2032 for AUD$27B. Low US dependence.
Australia #AUKUS sub scheme: 8 nuclear subs with (an unlikely) first delivery in 2035 for AUD$368B. Total US dependence. 🤦♂️ #auspol
The absolutely beautiful thing is that she will not give a flying f*ck about Dutton now he's no longer useful to her. I expect Dutton to slide into obscurity with his ill gotten gains from nearly 10 years of LNP rule...
Seeing Dutton trying to smile while casting his vote was hilarious
This is going to make for a very interesting count on election day as they are not counted until well into the evening. Will this mean we won't know the winner (unless it is a landslide) until these votes are counted?
