Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Plenty of public schools in Canberra have demountables instead of permanent buildings, but Canberra Girls Grammar received nearly $4m in tax-deductible donations in 2023. Why are we subsidising swimming pools for private schools instead of fully funding education for every student?

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

"The vast majority of Australians have got less than $200,000 worth of super." "We're having this entire media obsession about a small increase in the amount of tax that will be paid by people with more than 15 times that." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

There’s a simple reform the federal government could introduce to bring house prices down. Directing APRA to force banks to limit loans given to investors would make it easier for people to buy a house they actually want to live in. @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol

If you kidnap and disappear a 4-year-old with stage 4 cancer, you should at a minimum spend the rest of your life behind bars. If you do it as part of an ethnic cleansing program, you should do your hard time at the Hague.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
