RIP Brian Wilson, the incredible person who wrote God Only Knows.. arguably the greatest song ever written. He helped define popular music with his haunting melodies.

I'm not sure why the President Trump is boasting that he's charging Americans a 5.5 times higher tax rate than President Xi is charging the Chinese people.

Patiently awaiting apologies from all the people who told me that describing Trump as a "fascist" was an overreaction.

this is your occasional reminder that every elite media outlet and editor that spent the last 5 years pretending Republicans were the free speech party is either a moron or a fascist and either way you should treat their every utterance with contempt

We always hear that farmers will be smashed by the super tax changes. But last year ASFA noted that "The reality is quite different" "nothing to do with primary production or the only connection is owning a boutique winery that is run at a tax loss." 😬 www.superannuation.asn.au/wp-content/u...

I was one of 450,000 Australians that were hounded for 18 months with a false Robodebt. I’m furious Morrison was awarded the highest honour for ignoring lawyers and illegally chasing us and allowing his ministers to call us criminals.

I can't even make a joke about this, it's a bunch of vicious and fascistic columnists scrambling to justify a genocidal state denying aid to starving citizens.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

In most locations in Australia, planning rules require a minimum number of parking spaces for each dwelling, costing up to $50,000 per space, whether the occupants want them or not. Time to ditch minimum parking requirements. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

If anyone tries to tell you Ange is the worst manager we've ever had, give them this. Despite the injuries and lack of squad depth, he still ranks among the best of our managers who lasted more than 100 games. And he won us a European Trophy. Legend.

It’s crazy that the marketing wing of an Aussie gambling company runs a large platform dedicated to radicalising teen boys into the alt-right pipeline as a way to get the kids illegally gambling, and it doesn’t get any coverage in Aussie media

Premiers are squabbling for $$ because Aus is a low-tax country. While the WA GST deal is bad, the bigger prob is trying to have Euro-style services while collecting US-like tax revenues. SMH piece here, @australiainstitute.org.au explainer below www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Gas companies are so desperate for applause for paying royalties. It’d be like Coles and Woolies expecting congratulations for paying farmers for the bananas they sell in their stores. Royalties are an input cost NOT a tax.

The Environment Minister Murray Watt will approve the 50-year extension of one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel projects, Woodside's North West Shelf. Along with releasing 4 billion tonnes of emissions, this decision will result in $215 billion worth of gas given away royalty-free. #auspol
