Thanks JD.

Maybe it’s time to swap overlords. I mean, if you must swear fealty to a corrupt genocidal dictatorship why not go with the one that has fast charging and isn’t trying to destroy the planet?
@australiainstitute.org.au is counting how much revenue Australia has missed out on by failing to tax gas exports every second.
It's up to $68 billion and rising!

Rules-based order.

Cut-price Costello Tim Wilson on Sky just now: "It’s very clear to me that when there’s an increase in petrol prices, Jim Chalmers collects more excise revenue."
Excise is not based on price changes. It's indexed twice a year in line with inflation.
Cutie!

Political monogamy? These are louche days now where fringe parties look more interesting, and they probably feel more interested, too.
I feel like we’ve seen this movie before….

Title: Vetting the ISIS brides. Two frames. 1. Man with clipboard inside entrance of tent talking to woman in full burqa nursing baby with two small kids playing beside on the dirt floor. Man says: “Just a few questions…Are you: bigoted? Lacking compassion? Have you scant regard for due process and the presumption of innocence?” 2. Same scene, man continues: “If ‘yes’ to all those, you satisfy the “Australian values” test as demonstrated by our political class, and we look forward to bringing you home.”
Vetting the brides.
