Dutton's property investments... A reminder, on this property he made $3,675,000. But because you get a 50% discount on capital gains, he only had to pay tax on $1,837,500. That tax discount each year costs around $22bn - of which $18bn goes to the richest 10%

This was very good and I liked how they channeled current affairs by carrying on in a sensible fashion despite the barking dog, dodgy internet and general chaos. Back to you, Dyery.

🚨When people are struggling with high household costs, facts matter. Here is the data: the only way for power prices to come down is with more renewables & electrification of households. Govt needs to help people get off expensive gas. #smartsolutions #auspol

We're never going to get anywhere in this country if the media keep publishing these sorts of headlines. Is what Peter Dutton saying true? If not, that's the story. #auspol

Yup. Utterly daft decision. Whoever makes the hiring and firing decisions at the ABC is the one who should be fired. Oh & whichever numbskull it was that axed The Drum. I still get asked about it.

What's funny about Bluesky being like Twitter back in the 2009-2012 era, is that it's just people being able to be people. What killed it was the audience becoming the product for firms that realised the generation of artificial conflict would be advantageous to them. Nothing ever really changes

Big day for NACC Commissioner Brereton who’ll be in the hot seat from 12:30pm today. There’s prob nothing he can say or do that will restore confidence in the NACC. His response to his failures scream of incompetence & arrogance. Will he at least have the decency to say sorry?

The head of the NACC, retired judge Paul Brereton, is incapable of leading a public service organisation of over 260 people with a very forward facing and very public role He appears either unwilling or unable to accept that he does not have the skill set required for such a vast undertaking #NACC

Rick Morton on the money here, but it goes further. Justin Gleeson was due to be announced as the eminent legal person last Mon 4 Nov. But Brereton pulled the rug on it all terrified of Scott Morrison's reaction. Scott Morrison is the unnamed minister, the 6th person in the Robodebt 6. #NACC
