What do people think of the idea of having a flat rate of income tax - no deductions - say 15 or 20% - with the first say $40,000 not taxed? Would make things much easier and stop all the b@stardry around tax evasion.

It seems like Trump has violated every section of the American Constitution and all of the Ten Commandments - plus a few extra that God seems to have not thought possible of a human being.

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

@ronunited.bsky.social I follow people who post on issues of concern to me. Let me know when you’re doing that and I’ll follow you back.

"You're not alone in thinking Australia is getting taken for a ride." Other countries are making a fortune from our gas exports, while Australians pay a premium price for our own gas. @richarddenniss.bsky.social with @punterspolitics.bsky.social 🧡 Our EOFY appeal: theaus.in/support_EOFY25

In February Premier David Crisafulli gave himself a tick of approval & a thumbs up for his first 100 days. He also pledged to cut Queensland's long established power bill rebate system. Now power price rises are predicted & the budget is due. #qldpol

“NSW Nationals passed motion state conference Coffs Harbour that calls on party to “reinstate our full support use coal power generation”, keep coal power stations open and explore building new high efficiency, low emissions coal fired power stations.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne....

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

In case you missed it on msm . So much work done in 3 yrs to reduce waiting times and work still to be done. LNP wanted to cut public service numbers which would have led to more blow outs . Partner waited 12 weeks for OAP . I waited 2 yrs to get mine sorted properly. Thanks to great C/L staff

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... “Monash University is under fire for an event at its Italian campus jointly organised with Woodside Energy, as staff criticise the institution for hosting “shadowy conferences paid for by fossil fuel corporations” & lack of transparency around the relationship.”

Men’s health matters. But too often, we don’t talk about our needs & the challenges we face. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. We need to be there for each other & we need a government that’s here for us & & the people we care about. #ableg #MensMHDay

‘The NSW Nationals have passed a motion at their state conference in Coffs…to “reinstate our full support of the use of coal in power generation”, keep coal power stations open & explore building new high efficiency, low emissions coal fired power stations in the future.’ 🙄 #auspol #LNPSplits

Because of course they did.

Excellent article by Rock Morton in the Saturday Paper this morning, on consultants Nous. These guys are so endemic in university managements I ended up writing a whole paper about them. They're basically vampires www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

Today wasn’t about a U.S. Senator, it was about an American citizen asking questions of their government and being met with force. My friend Alex Padilla — and every American — has the first amendment right to free speech.

The unending ironies of pure racism ...

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Tasmania is in a mess. The AFL stadium seems to have priority over fixing chronic homelessness, the worst educational and health outcomes in non-Indigenous Australia. A debt crisis is worse than that of Victoria. #auspol #TasPol

The savage irony is, by their actions,#Biden and his team eased #Trump’s path to victory. Americans and the rest of the world are left to deal with the second Trump administration. #auspol #USpolitics

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

The honours system is important. It is generally treated with great respect. It is, however, not respectful to seek public opinion on this ( at all) or any other matter and then ignore it. #auspol #honours

Australian Conservation Foundation video. We cannot allow the psychopathic big toxic gas company, #Woodside to expand its dirty, polluting, climate destroying business on the Burrup or on our the North West Shelf. Who want 45 more years of THIS?!

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

The unprovoked war with Iran provides, like many of Trump’s daily antics, a useful distraction from a genocide that repels anyone who can be be deemed human, but that seems to exclude most Western governments. #auspol #Iran #Israel

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Every elected Democrat - not just in California but nationwide - should be on TV and radio today telling this story to the American people and condemning Trump’s DHS agents for trying to round up first graders in elementary school.

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Lutnick has pivoted from “90 deals in 90 days” to Trump “writing a letter” to countries and dictating trade terms to them

Minns Govt has promised to get political parties out of the postal vote process in NSW state elections. AEC says this is the number one source of complaints across the country. Opportunity for the Albanese Govt to follow suit for national elections. australiainstitute.org.au/post/postal-...

I wonder why the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California 🤔
