Jim Chalmers’ deft economic management continues to break records. The jobless rate in April marked 41 months below 4.25%, the longest streak since records began. Australia is the world’s only economy with jobless below 4.2%, inflation below 2.4%, and continual GDP growth for the last 3 years.

Now that serial slithering, Tim Wilson is back in Parliament- it’s time to reacquaint you with the insidious Wilson of old. This is a story I wrote in 2021 abt Wilson when he was in govt. He hasn’t changed. Expectation continuation of his superannuation lies. shiannonlc.wixsite.com/mysite-1/pos...

Nationals Leader David Littleproud says taxing $3m+ super hits farmers’ “cash flow.” But isn’t super for retirement, not hoarding business assets that evades paying the appropriate Tax? With $3 million in super & a 5% return over 20 years, a person could withdraw about $19,799 per month. #auspol

XFP is the latest recombinant variant to be classified and incredibly it is the third of a recent set of recombinants with identical spike mutations. The earlier ones were XFJ and XFM. I think of them as the "Doppelgängers". #COVID19 #XFJ #XFM #XFP #Doppelgängers 🧵

I see @zoedaniel.bsky.social has finally conceded defeat in Goldstein but she will recontest at the next election - it is candidates and politicians like her that makes us better people and a better country.

Hong Kong was the first country to report a wave driven by the new NB.1.8.1.* "Nimbus" variant. Including it’s sub-variants, Nimbus has made a clean sweep of the landscape there, accounting for 100% of 50-odd recent samples collected since mid-April. #COVID19 #HongKong #NB_1_8_1 #Nimbus 🧵

There is no “climate war” between the Libs and the Nats. Christ on a bike there isn’t even a climate war between the LNP and Labor. There IS a climate war between ordinary Australians and the fossil carbon multinationals and the major parties are allied with the multinationals.

‪@anthony-albanese.bsky.social‬ government’s decision to extend the life of one of the world’s biggest liquified natural gas projects from 2030 to 2070. Seems an extra 40 years of gas is something which should of been announced before the election. #auspol

Albo claims the NWS gas extension is needed to “firm the grid”, but WA exports 90% of its gas. Yet just 2.5% of that export total would cover the WA coal transition. It’s not energy security, it’s energy industry spin for profits. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social #TaxTheGas

Deliberate starvation is not the same as natural famine. "Dozens die" needs to be "entire families of civilians murdered." "Inhospitable" was always "deliberately destroyed." "War" was always "one-sided mass extermination." "Controversial" never to be applied to "ethnic cleansing and genocide."

For all those banjo twangers whining about the costs of regulated power increases in QLD.. ..they might want to do a bit more whining about the QLD LNP cutting their power bill rebates as well. QLD LNP take away rebates from ordinary QLDers to give massive “rebates” to their donors.

Time for a climate damage compensation levy on the companies who are exporting fossil fuels from Australia. As VIC debates how to fund emergency services such as the CFA & SES, a levy like this would mean we would never have to ask a farmer to pay a contribution for emergency services ever again.
