Big Gas is taking the piss. Help us spread the word, and share this. 👇 90% of WA’s gas is exported. Big Gas takes 73% the gas for free. To add insult to injury, these gas exporters have never paid resources tax. Add your name to make them pay their fair share: theaus.in/collect_gas_... #auspol

It is madness that this, by Alan Kohler, needs to be said. If you sell tickets to a sporting event, you start by counting the seats and only selling that many tickets. For some reason, immigration policy under both parties assumes those rules don't apply. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

The lunatics are running the asylum.

An absolute bloody disgrace. Democracy for sale, rubber-stamped by the duopoly. I said if this was passed that I'd use my (tiny) influence to advocate for putting the majors last this election. It's locked in. Please, vote for your favourite independent/minor party. #auspol

Unbelievably gutless. 'What did you do to help problem gamblers and kids, dad?' 'I delayed for a term and said we'd look at it later, son.' Ban. Gambling. Ads. Now. #auspol

If you were a sports administrator (not the CEO of a 'product'), you'd: 1. Put games on at times that kids could watch 2. Make the fans your priority, not marks for bookies 3. Take care of your players 4. Take less money from broadcasters and sponsors if it contravened 1-3

The growth fetish that plagues not-for-profits always stuns me. Why do the NRL and AFL need to chase gambling money? They don't, other than to build an empire. And they trample their own fans in the process. A disgrace.

If you're going to make a loan, make it to a politically sensitive company. If it's going to go bad, hope it's in an election year. Another $50m of our money spent to shore up votes, this time in the regions. And what does the taxpayer get for it? Nothing. #auspol

I have zero idea how the federal election will pan out. But the government's pretense that it's been helping with people's problem is falling on deaf ears. Labor supporters can argue the reality, but Labor is losing the perception war. (And much of the reality) 1/3

The Federal election is shaping up as a re-run of the US one. MAGA-style 'Get Australia Back On Track', with a dose of identity politics and Laura Norder. And the retort is to go after the person saying it, as they did with Trump. How did that work out? #auspol 1/2

“If you ever get overwhelmed thinking about all the things you could achieve with a majority Government give me a buzz and I’ll give you some strategies for putting those ideas on hold until a 3rd term to ensure they never eventuate" Read more: tinyurl.com/4xr6hh2j

I call bullshit in this 👇

Time to move on from Steve Smith. #AusvIndia

This is brilliant stuff from Dave Milner. Seriously, f—- them both.

🤣🤣🤣 #Baggers

Labor was elected for two reasons; 1. Not being Scott Morrison 2. Hope of real, positive action in lots of areas. They might lose government, because 1 gets you elected but 2 keeps you on the Treasury benches only if you deliver. The LNP can't believe its luck. 1/4 #auspol

I've been accused, recently, of being harsh in my assessment of the Australian government. Some assume that's a political bias. It's not - the spin and inaction from this government have just been monumentally disappointing. Start there before assuming I'm biased. #auspol
