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%

Ita Buttrose reminds me of Scott Morrison at the #Robodebt Royal Commission. When he was reminded of his failures while being at the very top, he started to throw everyone else under the bus. Not looking good for Buttrose or the racist ABC at the moment. #IStandWithAntoinette

Even now, just four Republicans in each House of Congress would be enough stave off the Trump dictatorship if they had the will and courage. They won't do it.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

Mark Butler says LNP promising not to touch Medicare is like 2013 when they promised “no cuts to health” & then slashed hospital funding under Dutton who also “tried to abolish B/Billing altogether” “Why on earth would u trust the man who created this mess in the first place?”🔥

Peter Dutton's promise to match Labor's Medicare commitments reminded me of this 2014 column I wrote. The Commission of Audit, an Abbott invention, wouldn't have recognised an accurate number right under its nose. I felt its numbers weren't right. So I checked. www.smh.com.au/opinion/tony...

God, even Crikey is reporting that Dutton has "taken the wind out of Albanese's sails" in regard to the Medicare announcement, just because Dutton has said he will match the funding dollar for dollar. The ABC did the same thing yesterday. The framing is pathetic.

"'The kind of propaganda and disinformation that we see now is not particularly new & not dependent on the internet,' said Benjamin Carter Hett, a historian of World War II at Hunter College. Exactly the same kind of thing happened in the very diverse & lively German press of the 1920s and 1930s.'"

In 2013, Tony Abbott said the Coalition was on a “unity ticket” with the ALP for 100% school resourcing standard funding for public schools. They lied. Is Dutton more trustworthy than Abbott? 😜🤯🤬 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

According to the ABC radio show (which I just turned off) Long Service Leave started in the 19th century because employers wanted to let long serving workers take a ship home to see family - which may be the most ahistorical take about Australian labour relations I have ever heard.

They realize they can’t dismantle public agencies and get the same services. So many ignoramus fools are trying to re-hire people they traumatized and fired because Musk’s Incel Army of BigBalls can’t do the damn job.

If you are concerned about the rise of the far right but spending your days hammering strongest group on the centre-left, you don’t seem that concerned about the rise of the far right. You seem to be a fucking idiot.

Why is media accusing Labor of running a Mediscare campaign without first checking with Peter Dutton that he can promise not to make the huge cuts to Health that he made as Health minister & promise not to bring back his GP tax? Australians obviously should be scared.

Bad News for Peter Dutton as RBA says it will cut interest rates. This confirms rates started going UP under the LNP & only started coming Down under Labor (like inflation). After their Trillion dollar Debt & no surplus for a decade, LNP are now economic hacks in every measure.

Peter Dutton has threatened to split up big insurance companies in response to rising premiums. The problem is, as Greg Jericho explains, this won't solve the main issue, which is climate change, and it might actually make the problem worse. @grogsgamut.bsky.social on the Project:

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

Really feel like this story hasn't gotten enough play given people spent a week or two freaking out over it. Would be good to hear Dutton asked what he thinks about the "biggest terrorist plot on recent memory" turning out to be a scam by run-of-the-mill crims to get reduced sentences.
