By leaving interest rates on hold, the RBA has failed to do what is right for Australians & what is right for the economy. Australians have suffered unnecessarily for too long. Cutting rates would have provided some sensible stimulus to an economy that has almost ground to a halt. Media release:

News Corp are biased towards right wing politicians and ideas, and always has been. But bias is just part of what Albo is referencing here. News Corp are a campaign platform - a propaganda machine - using the facade of journalism as a political campaign. News Corp should be transparent about this.

We have an AFP operation & a special envoy for antisemitism but no AFP investigation into femicide. No people have been killed in antisemitic incidences, but we’ve had 94 incidences of femicide associated with domestic violence. 0.46% of the population vs. 50.7% Am I missing something? #auspol

The tired and tedious “anti-Semitic” smear again. And again. Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Has Peter Dutton ever heard of renewable energy storage? Batteries? He's still going on about 'if the sun doesn't shine, the wind doesn't blow or it's night time" FFS How does he think water comes out of the tap when it's not raining? Fucking storage, Einstein 🐝 #auspol

Peter Dutton claims Australia voting with most of the world to uphold the rule of law is the Albanese government damaging its relationship with the US (who voted against it) at a time Australia should be "strengthening" its US relationship. He's truly happy for Aust to sink all the way with the USA

Cripes did Massola even write any word of this, or did he just add his name to Andrew Bragg's prose?

I see a junior economist in the AFR keeps trying to argue that government spending made inflation worse. Problem is the year in which inflation peaked public sector demand was as low as it'd been for nearly a decade.

I’m listening to Rick Morton’s Mean Streak - it’s about Robodebt saga. It’s a true crime thriller where we all know who the perps are. Honestly, Australians need to see some consequences from this mendacious cruel policy assault on hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people. We are owed that much!

NACC Inspector Gail Furness corrects Commr Paul Brereton’s incorrect evidence & says Commr Holmes did delay referring to NACC “in order” to make referrals & that Brereton was wrong to say legal advice stated there “could” be corruption, it stated there “would” be corruption🙄 youtu.be/s9OqV9oBVpo?...

When asked why she voted against a ceasefire in Gaza, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition said "It's not good...if we don't have a positive relationship with the US" Do we want our elected MPs to make decisions for us based on appeasing the US, instead of acting in Australia's interests? #auspol

Arthur Sinodinos, our former Ambassador to USA, told a defence/arms forum Australia, US, UK should put Elon Musk in charge of AUKUS N subs project “and I’m not joking”. There goes any semblance of Australia’s sovereignty. Arthur, a majority of Aussies (57%) don’t want AUKUS.
