Gina spends a proportion of her company's profits on sport too.
That doesn't make her a good person. Or her other actions good or in the public interest.
Sports washing a reputation is a real thing.
"After 35 years reporting from 18 different war zones, veteran journalist Janine di Giovanni thought she had seen the worst of humanity. But Gaza changed everything. From Sarajevo to Syria, she witnessed horrors, yet she says nothing compares to the tragedy in Gaza ..."

This is a GREAT point
think on it
He cannot comprehend people with principles, people with empathy and compassion. People with courage and dedication to things other than themselves.
It is beyond him.
He is a sick sick individual who should be nowhere near the levers of power.
Now it will be the price of petrol ....
Trump administration set up DOGE, cut Govt programs & aid, disbanded & shrunk government departments, sacked 10s of thousands of workers, all because they claimed Govt spent too much
Then they waste BILLIONS on dodgy Trump actions, ICE, wars, gilding & renovating Govt buildings, leadership largesse
$11b in six days and for what? What a stupid venal world.
New donations laws are designed to punish independents and reward the existing parties, writes Mike Seccombe. An unexpected byproduct would be if they encourage the formation of new ones. satpa.pe/zrww9xW
At least two people have been arrested in Queensland for saying "from the river to the sea" today at a protest. I think we all knew this day was coming. A dark milestone in our homegrown authoritarian decline.
This is important listening for #Auspol
That long list of fascist moves by Döpfner is critical for us. He’s got the UK Telegraph but also Politico Aus. What is Ryan Heath’s protection from this far right owner?
Alongside other profoundly stupid and ignorant things in that report.
"We don't believe Morrison would act dishonestly, because he was a member of parliament for many years"
That'd be the same guy who gave himself multiple Ministries without telling anyone else.

You can rid society of one group forever. Who do you get rid of?
- tech oligarchs
- politicians
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.
The whole country is becoming more authoritian - bit by little bit.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
"at least 7 people were killed & 21 injured in an Israeli strike.. there was no warning of the attack in central Beirut where displaced families were sheltering"
Oh & Matt, if it was in an area with a Hezbollah presence does that make it ok to murder people as they sleep?
As pro Israel, pro Netanyahu, pro Zionism cheer squad of the LNP Coalition bleats about fuel insecurity, and ignores the cause, perhaps it should reflect on its EV scare campaign about EV utes spoiling ‘tradies’ weekends.
It’s not just their weekends at stake today, it’s their livelihoods

okay, well, good luck to them on pivoting away from Trump over the cause nearest and dearest to his heart - hurting people of color - when so far they haven't been able to pivot away from Trump on the matter of him making them walk around in shoes that don't fit
I'll believe this when I see it
Correct me if I'm wrong...
Aren't raping children and bombing a school in another country killing over 100 young girls considered criminal offenses in America?
Remember this next time anyone in the govt says they can’t afford to raise the rate.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
Labor trumpets that they’re rescuing the soccer players for the headlines, while ramming through laws which racially profile and punish everyone else in the same boat.
Cunning stunts.

Amazing they refurbished the water wheel hotel by removing the waterwheel that obscured the view. They left the massive window frames intact . . Lake Tyers
