How much $$ is left on the table by not selling India merch at games this summer in Australia? #cricket #AusvInd

Just another reminder that the government *and* opposition banned 15 year-olds from social media, but are happy for my 11yo to be bombarded with gambling ads. Because... well, I have no idea. #auspol

Raise the rate of unemployment benefits or shut up. #AusPol

A gutless PM who has no understanding of power. Doesn't know how to lead... not sure he wants to. Was much more happy as Leader of the House where he could just play student politics with Chris Pyne and it was all meaningless. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

‘Deaths of needless poverty and despair’: homelessness report reveals surge in fatalities

If you paid any tax in 2022-23, you paid more than all of these multinational gas corporations did on $36 BILLION income, exporting Australian gas from QLD. Really makes you think. #auspol

This all-consuming book has been out for a month, as of yesterday, and is off to be reprinted. I have been too scared to ask for numbers, but I know people are buying and reading it. Thank you. The best feedback is a review like this one because it was my exact hope for this thing. Don't stop now!

COMEDY PODCAST OF THE DAY @thebugle.bsky.social Influencer Repeatedly Punches Sick Old Man #theBugle #ComedyPodcast @alicefraser.bsky.social podcastaddict.com/the-bugle/ep...

@podchris.bsky.social locked bugle episodes on Spotify that users can't play/remove from their playlists. Any ideas?

Labor’s Social Media Ban for kids bill is a masterclass in incompetence. The bill tells social media companies to take ‘reasonable steps’ to determine age without ever defining what that means. That’s not governance, that’s a dereliction of duty. Look at some of this mess.👇

Why are they called ‘dry eye drops’ and not ‘moistyoureyeser’?

Ripper article @satpaper.bsky.social: Simon Holmes a Court approached Senator Don Farrell, complained proposed changes "would entrench the two-party system and lock out challengers." “I mean,” Farrell quipped, “that’s the fucking point!” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...
