Good point.

The bottom 90% have got just 7% of economic growth from 2009 to 2019. The top 10% got 93%. Our research shows inequality has been supercharged in the last 20 years, and it will only get worse unless we fix it. A super profits tax is a good start, and cracking down on tax rorts. #auspol

Yes we need more of this. Challenge every shadow minister. I highly doubt you’ll get any takers though.

Also just going to leave this here. Remember Mr Bolt used his strange obsession with my journalism to retraumatise a vulnerable victim (Paris Street of St Kevin’s) of a convicted sexual offender? Bolt was later forced to apologise when Paris stood up for himself. www.theguardian.com/media/2020/f...

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

January 20: FAA director fired January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years. Rest in peace to the 67 souls

I’m not even remotely worried about a trans woman being in my bathroom, but I’m fucking sick with worry about a serial sexual abuser being in my White House.

This is a good piece by Sean Kelly but knowing most people only read the headlines, why create this misleading one? Is the SMH out to get rid of the Labor Govt? It’s beginning to feel a lot like it! www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

With the LNP solely focussing on Israel’s right to defend itself at any cost & completely ignoring the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians who have been murdered by the Israeli gov, it shows that the LNP has no regard for ALL human life, showing how it will divide Australia if elected.

I will donate to a development fund for Bluesky to build a Facebook equivalent. Please share this skeet if you would, too.

Anthony Albanese has called for fixed four year terms. Makes sense to me. If you agree, RT. Disagree, "like"? #auspol

A friend in Chicago just sent me this . . . In your wildest dreams WHAT HAVE YOU DONE AMERICA?

What the fuck do they need the money for? Another archery range? Rowing tank? Meditation centre? Get fucked. Get fuuuuucked.

“Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours”

Strikes me as bizarre that ABC Sydney - a talk radio station - is under the thumb of a refugee from a commercial FM music network. Chalk and cheese. A classic ABC fuck up.

Does anyone know if Sarah MacDonald abc is on here?

1000 people — maybe even more — had their welfare payments unlawfully CANCELLED because Dept of Employment / Services Australia can’t read their self-defeating legislation that dictates mutual obligations to jobseekers. Latest in a series of bungles. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

OL Peter Dutton and Gina Rinehart's Christmas card this year is terrific! #auspol #renewables #nuclear Artwork: @signtst.bsky.social 🎨

this is a metaphor for something… just not sure what…

Sending hugs to @Sarah MacDonald this week! It must be so difficult juggling contract termination for a job where she is receiving so much love from colleagues and listeners. I really think abc will live to regret this!
