Some good news…👇 For the RICH, that is. 😎✨

This Pope is great.

Mark Kenny nails it “No one mentions the fact that Israel is also a nuclear power, that it’s not even a signatory to the Non-proliferation Treaty. It doesn’t observe the safeguards of the IAEA.” “I mean, that just doesn’t get mentioned.”💥 #ABCInsiders

Today marks 2 years since the Murphy Report on the harms of online gambling. The crossbench has been calling for a ban on online gambling ads for two years. The Government has remained silent. In those 2 years Australians have lost $50 billion. It’s time for our government to act.

Coalition happy to have quotas for Nationals on frontbench but not for female Liberal MPs, Tanya Plibersek says

Is "careless" the new word for "corrupt" ?

Only just caught these arresting stats from @markgkenny on women in Libs; - more women in Labor caucus than LNP members - more women Independents than female Libs - more women Greens than female Libs So quotas & affirmative policies really are so unnecessary then!?!?

Encouraging to see so many varied professionals in this intake. Hope it augurs well for policy development when they are no longer “newbies.” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21027/...

I’m a Jew who lived in NYC for a decade and decided to leave due to affordability issues. The idea that Zohran doesn’t take Jewish safety seriously is ridiculous and racist. It’s so harmful to conflate support for Jewish supremacy in Israel with concern for Jewish safety in the United States.

Syria and Israel hope to reach a peace deal by the end of the year, a Syrian official tells Channel 12. It would require complete Israeli withdrawal from Syrian territory. The Golan Heights would be turned into a “peace garden”.

BREAKING: “Nigel Farage isn’t interested in Wales. He’s interested in Nigel Farage and he takes people for fools” says Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Next week is 13 yrs since I started at @cuanschutz.bsky.social & opened the Siegenthaler Lab...very grateful for every trainee, every colleague & collaborator, every grant/foundation $$ that contributed to our discoveries. Even now, over a decade in, I am happy to be @ the 🔬 & imaging the meninges.

UK launched huge operation to find suspected Russian double agent in MI6 Exclusive: Operation Wedlock lasted up to 20 years and took MI5 teams across world amid panic about ‘another Philby www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

US tech giants Amazon, Google, Meta, Netflix, Disney took $A15B in revenue from the lucrative Australian market yet paid only $A254M in local tax through creative (profit shifting) evasion. David Chau ABC finance. Hey @jimchalmers.bsky.social

91 millionaires paid no tax in 2022-23.

TAX THE MOTHER FUCKING RICH!!! #auspol

“If..aspiration is to have any meaning..they need to rebalance the tax take of income & capital so it is possible to get ahead by hard work..And they need to stare down.. indignant roars of wealthy..Australians whose wealth is the result of asset inflation” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Good sense, but would any Australian Govt have either the vision or the courage to implement it? if only fortune, and voters, favored the brave!

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal. It’s a bookstore. Barnes and Noble fills their store display windows with Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale.

Powerful piece. “The men now working to rehabilitate Heydon – many..the same ones who once drank in his chambers – never saw his predation. They weren’t his targets. His charm & wit never came with a proposition. That behaviour was reserved for young women like me.” www.theage.com.au/national/i-w...

In the end, the importance of Zohran Mamdani's win in New York has resonance for the whole country. We need change. Change in our leaders. Change in our thinking. And the elections ahead will prove that in more ways than one. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Brexit was a disaster. Most people know it now. We gave up frictionless trade, freedom of movement, and economic stability, all for lies sold by snake oil salesmen. Leaving didn’t free us, it cost us. Let’s stop pretending otherwise.

There was a column in the SMH about how a couple with $8m in combined super wanted to avoid paying tax. The columnist pointed out if one super balance went from $3.0m to $3.4m the liability for the new super tax would be.... $7,056. Yep on $400,000 earnings www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

I assume all pro-Israel Trump idolators, supporters, and rationalizers will rush to denounce the horrifying moral equivalence an American president has drawn between our friend Israel and our enemy Iran.

Touché.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Don’t. Get. Distracted. By. Trump. 😎✨

PM Carney: "Think about what's happening in the world now in terms of the threats financially, the threats geopolitically, and the stability and resilience of the EU. And the fact that the EU is looking to build positively—we're honoured that part of this building is with Canada." #cdnpoli

Damn right!!!

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Sen. Bernie Sanders held a "Fighting Oligarchy" rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when he received news of President Donald Trump's strikes on Iran.

#Auspol It's a shakedown and they expect everyone to buy from the US Defence Industries.

“Around-the-clock solar is no longer a distant dream; it’s an economic reality of the world. It unlocks game-changing opportunities for energy-hungry industries like data centres and manufacturing.”

Canada is facing a housing crisis. Could it take a page from Europe? In the Austrian city of Vienna, more than half of its residents live in some form of subsidized housing www.cbc.ca/news/world/e...
