So they locked up David McBride for blowing whistle on war crimes & are trying to lock up Richard Boyle for blowing whistle on unethical ATO practises but Peter Dutton who is neck deep in an Insider Trading scandal not only walks free, but is also running for PM? That’s crazy.

Portfolio. My @smh @theage cartoon.

2016, 2020, 2024—and they still don’t realize they’re on the menu…

Trump has replaced the head of the military, FBI, stacked SCOTUS and stated “He who saves his country does not violate any law”. He’s sided with autocrats above allies and is purging the public service of non-sycophants. AUKUS? Still beyond questioning? What would it take?

This cannot be posted enough!

How the fuck do we live on a planet where Peter Dutton can call Donald Trump a “big thinker” and not ONE mainstream media outlet has pushed back to him (or their audiences) about Trump’s stupidity, dangerous criminality and blatant unfitness for the office he holds? #NewsCorpse

I hope Savva is right. Great column. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

If you’ve got more than $3m on your super and you don’t want it get a smaller discount? Ok spend some of your fucking super then. If you want to keep it for inheritance- fine, but you don’t get a big tax break for that, because it’s not the govt’s job to make rich grandkids richer.

But of course… never forget that these are the lying scoundrels who brought you Robodebt.

I see Dutton is ‘reintroducing’ himself to the Australian people….again. When will the Coalition accept that the reason people don’t warm to Dutton is not because they don’t know the ‘real’ him, but because they do? #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In Australia its a cheaper to cause an oil spill than to get a nursing degree In Norway they tax their oil industry and give kids free degrees while in Australia we subsidise the oil industry and charge kids a fortune to go to uni Priorities matter

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work. We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

Only two nations are in budget surplus, have triple A credit ratings and have reduced debt to GDP two years running: Australia and Denmark. Interesting that Australia's mainstream news media (incl. the ABC) doesn't report this news. 🤔 #auspol #journalism

No nation state is above criticism. You can criticise Israel's actions and policies without it being anti-semitic. It does not make Jewish people safer by conflating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.

Divide or unite? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Here's an idea for tax reform: 1. stop subsidising gas and coal mining 2. start making them pay their fair share of tax You can help by adding your name to our petition to increase the PRRT: theaus.in/increasePRRT #auspol
