New Nationals leader Canavan vows to 'fight back' for Australians With a populist economic message, the new Nationals leader said local manufacturing and higher birth rates were key as he rejected the labels of "left" and "right" politics.

The ongoing joke that is the Liberal-National coalition continues as the Nationals elects new leader, wait for it ... Matt Canavan! 🀣🀣🀣

Brimming with policy ideas, Canavan said: "All we need to do to revive our great nation is to have more Australia." ... MAGA? πŸ€”πŸ™„πŸ€­πŸ˜Ž

Docked boats, idle tractors β€” the Iran war fuel crisis is hurting Australia Dozens of fishing trawlers have been stranded as a result of Australia's worsening fuel shortages, which some have described as the worst they have ever seen.

"ACCC deputy chair Mick Keogh said he wanted to know if there had been any illegal activity, like price gouging, or anti-competitive behaviour."

Well hello! How can a 40 cent price increase overnight not constitute price gouging ... open your eyes Mick!

Not only do I agree with Mr Dibble, I'm still completely baffled why self-respecting people, companies and non-profit organisations continue to post on Herr Musk's evil-X platform ... humiliation is an understatement!

I strongly advocate boycotting anything to do with crazy & psychopathic Musk. πŸ€ͺ😎

Migrant myth: Research pinpoints real housing crisis culprit Cutting migration is often touted as the solution to improving Australia's housing crisis but researchers say there are more effective ways.

β€œPopulation growth alone does not produce today’s housing shortage. The shortage appears when governments ration land use, delay approvals, cap density in high-demand areas, and then act surprised when prices rise.”

Anti-immigration sentiment is misguided! 🀨😎

True justice is to become a distant memory for consumers as Ticketmaster does a deal behind closed doors, usurping the powers of the courts.

Ticketmaster is the antithesis of what consumer choice means, scamming us all with their hidden fees and monopolistic practices! ... hard to boycott though.😎

WA subs base the only reason for AUKUS It is tempting to label the AUKUS project an exercise in self-delusion and self-denial. The number of commentators who believe the project’s core promise will actually be honoured – the transfer of Vi...

By agreeing to the farce called AUKUS "The Australian government has placed a bullseye on Australia’s back and it isn’t clear if our leaders understand this," writes Prof. Albert Palazzo, adjunct professor at UNSW Canberra.

Exclusive: Joyce on Rinehart’s support for One Nation The former Nationals leader has confirmed Gina Rinehart is among many β€˜substantial supporters’ he has brought to the far-right party.

Will One Nation become Gina Rinehart's political vehicle similar to Clive Palmer's illfated Trumpet of Patriot party? ... if Blowhard Barnaby has any say in the matter it certainly will as she uses Barnaby to get her messages out. πŸ€¨πŸ€‘πŸ˜Ž

Anthropic’s Ethical Stand Could Be Paying Off The AI company gave up a $200 million contractβ€”and might be getting something more valuable in return.

"Even Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO,Β concededΒ that the deal was β€œdefinitely rushed” and that β€œthe optics don’t look good.” ... but he still went and signed the deal.

Highlighting the ethical difference btw Open AI and Anthropic: one driven by profit, the other ...😬😎

Apologizing while still resolute to punish their aggressors, the Iranian President Pezeshkian also dismissed Trump’s call for Iran toΒ surrender unconditionally.

β€œThat’s a dream that they should take to their grave,” he said. 🀯😡😎

Pic of petrol station fuel prices showing diesel at $2.07 per litre & premium unleaded at $2.19 per litre ... disgusting example of price gouging!

Thanks to the "Peace Maker" paedophile POTUS, his lust for war has sent our fuel prices rocketing almost 40 cent in 3 days.

The diesel price at this servo in Albury was 169.9 cents per litre last week ... obviously there's massive price skimming occuring using the war as excuse to price gouge! 🀬😱😎

Speaking of "Piggy", is anyone watching the new remake of "Lord of the Flies", the 50s classic by William Golding ... now that little "Piggy" is way smarter than paedophile POTUS Piggy by a country mile.

Indeed, he's ordered, compassionate and intelligent ... everything Trump is not! 🀣🀭😎
