I imagine Grace is more disappointed in Albanese (a most of us are) than vice versa.

The royal commission already looked rushed. Now it’s β€˜embarrassment all round’ Dennis Richardson could have carried on for a few more weeks and done his best. If he felt overpaid, he could have taken a pay cut. But there’s plenty of blame to go around.

The premise of the this Royal Commission in Anti-Semitism was a embarrassing sham anyway. It was to done to appease a few but powerful foreign state lobbyists. #auspol

RATM
Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D, the E, the F, the I, the A, the N, the C, the E
Mind of a revolutionary, so clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The "land of the free"?
Whoever told you that is your enemy.

I've read accusations that Donald J. Trump is a pedophile from thousands of people.

Odd, how the notoriously litigious Trump hasn't filed even *one* lawsuit for defamation.

It's almost as if a lawyer told him that truth is an absolute defense in defamation cases . . .

Even worse....an admission
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, described the leak of the video, not the incident itself, as perhaps the worst β€œpublic relations attack” Israel had ever faced.

β€˜Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push Layoffs to affect 10% of workforce amid Australian company’s restructuring plan to push into artificial intelligence and enterprise sales

β€œBut that doesn’t mean it’s easy,” he said. β€œFar from it. I know this has a huge impact on each of you, and it weighs heavily on me and Atlassian today.”
I really feel your pain, Mike. Honestly. It's tough being a billionaire with a [cough] conscience.

This is literally one of the most profoundly stupid and ignorant things I've ever seen written about executive level public sector behavioural incentives that I've ever read - from X The Everything App at 1:00am on a Saturday morning, right through to <checks notes> the fucking NACC.

Labor must stop juicing house prices and make buying a home the Australian dream – not negatively gearing one | Greg Jericho The rumours of action on the capital gains tax discount and negative gearing are louder than before any budget this century. But is the PM up to the task?

Right now, the CEO pays less tax on that $400,000 profit than does the minimum wage earner doing an extra shift.
Will testicularly-challenged Albanese have the courage to do something with the mandate other than dragging us to war or sham Royal Commissions #auspol

In today’s game of Make Millions With Market Manipulation:

1. Energy Secretary posts that a tanker has been safely escorted through Hormuz.
2. Oil price falls 10%, friends buy.
3. Energy Secretary deletes post.
4. Oil price rises 12%, friends richer.

Thank you for playing, see you all tomorrow.

Canada Is at War ... With the United States Pete Hegseth took time out from the chaos of the Iran war to make an announcement that Donald Trump has renamed the region from Mexico to Greenland as β€œGreater North America.”

Trump is once again denigrating our PM and ignoring the sovereignty of our border. This isn't "Trump being Trump" it is Trump being Putin.
We are subject to constant psyops and economic pressure to attack our right to exist.
