A Friendly Reminder.

How absurd are complaints against the super changes? Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000. So they earned $250,000 in a year. Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability. How much? $2,884. That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.

Can't believe millions of Americans are about to lose Medicaid and SNAP benefits because they couldn't vote for the Black lady.

“Trump’s rhetoric: his obsession with labeling critics, especially Black individuals, as “low-IQ.” This pattern is not just a political strategy; it’s a deliberate psychological weapon rooted in America’s painful legacy of racialized intelligence narratives.” #MomSky

He’s just won the largest Labor majority since WW2, destroyed the leaders of two parties and run a government where there have yet been *zero* scandals… so perhaps claims Albo was “weak” were somewhat fanciful? I have never seen an #auspol leader covered in so much blood that wasn’t theirs.

Tonight, Australia voted No to ignorance & Yes to Acknowledgement; No to xenophobia & Yes to Welcomes; No to regression & Yes to progress. Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, the IPA & Advance henceforth have no mandate. They’ve been thoroughly told NO.

I think a lot of Liberals will be working from home

OMG two fabulous pieces in one day, I am not worthy!

The man vying to become Australia’s next prime minister has spent weeks trying to distance himself from comparisons to US President Donald Trump.

Here's @instanterudite.bsky.social. "Everyone, even The Australian, is over Peter Dutton"

Peter Dutton wants to: Cut our refugee and humanitarian intake by 31% down to 13,750 places per annum Give politicians the power to strip citizenship from Australian dual citizens Most likely scrap the envoy for Islamaphobia Defund Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Programs within FederalGovernment

He is a certified moron.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer: We stand with #Ukraine for as long as it may take, and I hope you heard that cheering in the street - the people of the United Kingdom coming out to demonstrate how much they support you and Ukraine,and our absolute,unwavering determination to stand with you ⤵️ 1/2

⬇️ This cannot be repeated often enough. Never forget, never forgive.

🇪🇺 EU chief diplomat: The free world needs a new leader, and today that became clear

1986 — moving America towards a fascist theocracy was in the works. Should’ve listened more to Frank Zappa 👇🏼

Donald Trump, Scott Morrison, Boris Johnson, Tony Blair, Liz Truss, David Cameron, Tony Abbott and John Howard – were all endorsed by Murdoch and given the required publicity.

Gen-X knows 🤣

#BoycottAmerican #BuyCanadian #FuckTrump

People, they have done good things. You don’t want Dutton anywhere near the top job in this country.

Today’s rate cut shows the progress we’ve made on inflation together. It won’t solve every problem, but it will help. Under Labor, inflation is down, wages are up, unemployment is low & now interest rates have started to come down too. #auspol #ausecon

President of the EU Commission 👇

Love them all

You cry babies. Whinging about 4.15% intetest rate - We lived thru this fucken beauty under the greatest Treasurer ever. What John Howard did not want to admit then, is that when he was the treasurer in the Fraser government the interest rate was as high as 21.4% - in April 1982. Yes fucken 21.4%

And Laura Tingle showed just how much integrity and guts she has to go out on a limb for another journalist, not knowing if writing to the big boss so fearlessly would bring reprisals, retaliation and retribution her way

Listen up ladies, they're trying to hit us again. I'm pretty sure menopause triggered something in me because I'm mad as fuck and don't give a shit what anyone thinks of me. I'm fighting like hell for my rights, my daughter's and potential granddaughters, and all who identify as women.

Says it like it IS! *insert mic drop here* youtu.be/u49-8NDGdrc?...

I understand Ita Buttrose will be cross-examined in the Antoinette Lattouf trial at the Federal Court tomorrow

Yes!
