South Australia's Premier Peter Malinauskas and Treasurer Stephen Mullighan are handing down their last budget before the 2026 state election. Follow our live updates.

The government promised to make gas giants pay their share. Instead, we're missing out on billions in tax income. We have to stop giving our futures away for free, and damaging our country and climate in the process.

In defiance of President Trump’s announcement last Friday that he was firing her, Kim Sajet — the director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery — has continued to report for work.

Our statement tonight on Trump’s new discriminatory travel ban.

Come to my exhibition in Melbourne that previews on June 10 (below) and has its fancy opening on June 11. Runs until June 26.

So sad. And yes the changes to super do defy everything the LNP believe in, which is ensuring wealthy people get wealthier at the taxpayers expense

For the second time in 15 months, Tas Labor decides it would rather not be in govt than have to govern with the Greens.

The Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) is unfit-for-purpose. Currently the govt raises significantly more revenue from HECS repayments than it does from PRRT. I’m calling for sensible, overdue reforms: • Reduce the PRRT deductions cap from 90% to 80% • Remove the 7-year exemption period #auspol

Who agrees with Elon here? Do what he asks please!

🚨 Did Littleproud bother to check the legal & financial implications of a split? The Queensland LNP, of which he is a member, is a unique beast. This is well worth watching(10 mins.) Kicker near the end. Makes you wonder how a LNP MP can constitutionally be leader of the National Party. 🤔 #Auspol

Right? I'm so angry. And tired. And tired of being angry.

"This is the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history."

According to Kristi Noem, America is now "promot[ing] freedom and liberty" by banning college students from attending the school of their choice

It was not immediately clear why the Trump-appointed justice recused herself from the case.

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall. It didn't have to be this way. But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall. Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

The Royal Children's Hospital says the two primary school-aged children injured in a house fire in Chadstone on Wednesday night are now in a stable condition.

WTH?!? Dementia

Trump: "The drug companies are very worried that they're gonna fight. And that's ok. If they fight, we'll just say, 'We're just not gonna let you sell any more cars into the US or wine or liquor or alcohol' or something that's actually way more important to them than the drugs."

in case you needed a little pick-me-up

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Liberals & Nationals are likely to push on with the nuclear power plants policy. As part of their get-back-together strategy the Nats will press the Libs to help remove the ban on nuclear power. Coal will still be burnt & exported bc start on nuclear now another 6 years away at least.

David Littleproud, Feb 2024: Leave people alone once they leave work. May 2025: Littleproud pesters Sussan Ley as she tends to her her ailing mother. #LNP #auspol

USA is seriously ill

Do these look like ICE agents to you?! Fascist cowards are stalking Seattle’s courthouse halls, snatching people after their cases are dismissed. No crime. No warning. Just terror and deportation in hours. This is a war on due process & POCs —and we will fight like hell to end it🤬 #OnYourSide

Most of us in higher ed in the US are going to lose something over the next four years (opportunities, or funding, or time). But if we believe universities exist, in part, to preserve historical memory and create a space for dissent, our primary job right now is to fight and take the hit.

The leftovers fighting over the scraps. Sad really!https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/21/after-the-coalitions-very-public-split-i-can-only-offer-this-time-honoured-breakup-advice-work-on-yourself?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

The utter horror and the bravery of one Jewish journalist and owner of Haaretz newspaper tells us of the disgusting tragedy being done on innocents for no reason!!!! johnmenadue.com/post/2025/05...

"Internal proposals to release the food remain on hold, awaiting sign-off from the Office of Foreign Assistance, now headed by 28-year-old Elon Musk appointee, Jeremy Lewin." Call your representatives.
