Greta Thunberg, a brave 22-year-old woman, is once again standing up to the bullies, this time drawing international outrage towards the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Of course she is a threat. independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

10 years after gas exports from Queensland began, all of the gas companies involved, bar one, have not paid a cent in company tax. This is despite them selling $125 billion worth of LNG out of Queensland, and reporting $330 billion in total Australian revenue. #auspol

The NACC has now been in operation for almost two years and it has made headlines, not by tackling corruption, but from repeatedly stumbling over conflicts of interest. That cannot be allowed to continue.

And in your final year, your super grew from $2,861,301 to $3,017,016. So it went up $155,715. How much tax would you now owe due to the super tax changes? $60,000? lol $25,000?? roflol $10,000??? oh please. Cripes, only $1,000?????? Try $14.40.

Think you might one day have $3m in your super & be affected by the super tax changes? Ok, you are 18yo, you just got a job - it pays... $150k! Give yourself a 3.7% annual pay rise. Never take time off for study, kids or illness. You will retire with $3,017,016 moneysmart.gov.au/how-super-wo...

How absurd are complaints against the super changes? Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000. So they earned $250,000 in a year. Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability. How much? $2,884. That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.

How much coal would the French have to find under the Louvre to destroy it? How much gas would the UK need to find under Stonehenge to knock it down? Australia must be the richest country in the world willing to destroy its ancient heritage for one more gas project #climate

They’re coming for birth control next. And if you’re one of the inevitable clowns who will claim that’s hyperbolic I encourage you to look at the list of dystopian shit that progressive women have been telling you the government planned to do and see how much of it hasn’t been crossed off yet.

It's been almost 6 full days since polls closed and no-one in #auspol media has likened the trumpet of patriots to a rusty trombone.

As 2 million traumatised people are on the verge of forced starvation it is breaking my brain that the main discourse in Aus media is that the Greens are rabid antisemites for saying what Israel is doing is wrong

What I like about role-playing games is that they allow you to act out power fantasies that you could never achieve in real life.

Every election, we've made a video to help voters understand how our preferential voting system works. This is for the 2025 election. If you find it helpful, pls share with your family, friends and pets. Good luck Australia! 💛🗳️ 📌 ICYMI: this is satire, NOT official electoral advice!

I mourn for every single person slaughtered in this needless genocide, and I mourn for the souls of those in my own community who have been following Israel down into the moral abyss. Full statement on this shameful saga brought to you by the Israel lobby and gutter journalists at Murdoch 1/2

The Coalition are claiming that their cut in fuel excise will be worth $14 per week. But that's only if you fill up once a week. Two thirds of people fill up once a fortnight or less. For them it will be worth less than $7 per week. australiainstitute.org.au/post/fuel-ex...
