"We've got to stop having these momentous decisions taken by small groups of people in private." @TurnbullMalcolm & @EmmaShortis discuss Australia's AUKUS disaster. "The government sacrificed sovereignty to get security & it looks like we're going to lose both." Link🔽 #auspol
Just to be sure Australians fully grasp how much our governments are letting Chevron rip us off. Chevron get all the gas they export FOR FREE, and pay NO PRRT. They’ve pay a pittance of royalties for some oil over 40 years … and now our government is giving half of that back!

This the Guardian editorial - that is, the official voice of the newspaper. It's happening slowly, but surely: Israel's genocide is becoming an undeniable, incontrovertible fact in the West. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
In 2023-24 Australia collected more than four times more from HECS repayments than the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. “In Australia, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.” - Richard Denniss, Executive Director #auspol
The ALP in the Senate right now showing that they are more angry about people protesting genocide than the actual carrying out of genocide
Truly pathetic stuff from the Govt attempting to censure @MehreenFaruqi.

Cripes, Ted O'Brien as shadow Treasurer is going to be hilarious
It is so late, Ms Kallas. Only sanctions can stop Israel. Suspending the EU agreement with Israel is a must. Anything less will be just performance, which the millions of Europeans who are grieving for the genodice in Gaza, would much prefer being spared from.
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
"Can the Assistant Treasurer clarify how Labor's super tax on unreal capital gains would operate for a farmer who has their farm held in a self-managed superannuation fund when they've had a failed season with no income?" Why is your farm in your super, you tax bludger? #QT
Thank goodness this guy isn't negotiating the percentages we pay in tariffs.
Trump: This is somebody nobody else can do. I can get the drug prices down… 1000% 600% 500% 1500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.
Turns out our governments aren't just giving most of our gas away for free to foreign owned gas corporates They're also handing back the meagre royalties they do bother to collect! Big Gas has captured out governments. boilingcold.com.au/governments-se…
So the CIS report cis.org.au/wp-content/upl… doesn't actually give the numbers behind this estimate. On page 5, what they say is .."when we add public and quasi-public employment to the pop'n that relies heavily on ... welfare payments ... it is likely that more than half ..." 1/n
“More than half of voters now rely on governments for most of their income through public-sector wages, welfare benefits or subsidies.. “ afr.com/policy/economy…
Warning Canada! Big Gas promised Australians LNG exports would mean plenty of low cost gas and enormous economic benefits. None of it was true. Instead we got gas shortages, manufacturing closures higher energy bills and few economic benefits. theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…
