Yep

The ‘Adult crime, Adult time’ LNP slogan was a load of shite. A Broncos player crashed a car while high as a kite and unlicensed, injuring others. Walks out of court with a fine that is less than a ‘failure to wear seatbelt’ fine.

One rule for the famous, another for the rest of us idiots

Coal billionaire Gina Rinehart has called for slashing the public service.

With both major parties paid by fossil fuels, it’s public servants doing their jobs that can get in the way.

It’s also worth remembering she’s a full conspiracy theorist (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/home-rinehar...

Can't believe he didn't foresee that nobody would attend or buy his book

thought I'd re-up this one, given the nonsense is ongoing

‼️EXTREME HEAT WAVE

Yep apparently it's a famous Canadian landmark according to Trump.

What do the latest GDP figures tell us? That the RBA is still getting it very wrong | Greg Jericho It’s time the reserve started undoing the damage it’s done before even public spending can’t keep the economy growing

Article on Australian economy which makes sense.

What doesn't make sense is why the RBA is punishing such an efficient Treasurer who, unlike other countries has kept the economy on an even keel while 'Conservative media [with Dutton's help] claim income going ◀️'

‘We’re not going away’: the man who led NZ’s biggest Māori rights march vows to fight on Eru Kapa-Kingi has become the most recognised face of a movement against the government’s policy direction for Māori Māori activist Eru Kapa-Kingi may have just led a historic march on Indigenous rights in New Zealand but he is reluctant to take credit for it. “We just opened the door, and [thousands] stepped through,” Kapa-Kingi tells the Guardian from his Auckland home, two weeks after a rally he helped mobilise became the largest protest in support of Māori rights and one of the biggest demonstrations in New Zealand’s history.

WA peak bodies urge PM to kill off EPA deal Labor and the Greens are edging toward a shock deal to create a new Environment Protection Agency as they look to pass the bill in Federal Parliament’s frantic final sitting week of the year.

Payman's meeting w Minerals Council of Aust was reported by The Nightly 6 days ago - 'Fatima Payman looms as a potential kingmaker' for Nature Positive bill. Other media chose to ignore Payman's key role & instead ran an inane 'Albo v Plibersek' soap opera #auspol thenightly.com.au/politics/aus...

Kind of weird how as profits are falling so too is inflation.

Almost like there might be a connection…

He wasn't. That was my point

AFR article headline: Exclusive How big super is spending your money on sponsorship and marketing

Can the AFR also do an "exclusive" on how "big super" delivers much better returns than retail funds?

I’d like it if Australian political commentators could find a way to not draw on the US election when discussing the approaching federal election here.

There is no “could”

When making a MAGA cabinet, it's very important to strike a careful balance between billionaires, sex criminals, Russian assets, anti-vaxxers, and just plain unpleasant people.

Geez the scammers and grifters are coming in thick and fast with the following.
