www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... I think if the federal govt was actually willing to tax things like our gas exports, to potentially bring in a windfall profit tax, because we can we know gas exporters, potentially fuel companies, making windfall profits off this war in the Middle East.
Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal-funded disinformation network “Advance” is now attacking one of the nation’s best and most respected journalists, over doing his job and pointing out the bleeding obvious regarding Israel and the US.
This is where we are, Australia’s MAGA.
We require a universal basic income (UBI) now more than ever. It’s our only chance to escape dystopian servitude in an AI future where the oligarchs buy their robot workers, and discard actual humans.
Arguments for UBI are gathering:

‘Alternatives to this vassalage exist. Indeed, Spain offers clues as to what a more independent course would look like.’
Keep going, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez!

The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...
Yeah right, so you smash down an inquiry into the gas industry’s exploitation of Australia. Hollow words from Labor on the fossil fuel industry.
He said we were all the sons and daughters of God and we all had the divine within us. It’s the church after him that changed his message. He had a revolutionary message, but it wasn’t the one that many who claim to follow him now, follow
Remember this next time anyone in the govt says they can’t afford to raise the rate.

It is not part of our alliance to participate in illegal war crimes. And I assume that is why our government is refusing to be involved in the attacks on Iran. Quite rightly. We haven’t sunk to the moral depravity of the US regime quite yet.
Australians don't want to get dragged into Trump & Netanyahu’s illegal war on Iran. Labor shouldn’t be sending troops to help a military that’s killed 150 schoolchildren in a primary school bombing. To keep civilians safe we should be urging peace, not sending missiles.
The US will only defend us if it’s in their interests. If Trump or someone like him stays in power – alliances are not worth the sheets of paper they’re written on. If it’s in their interest to help, then they may help. If it is not then they most certainly will not. Ukraine was an airtight ally…
Our solar has still produced on these cloudy and rainy days; and has still filled up the battery. I was surprised the system is do sensitive! I’m very happy, and we want to change our second car to electric now as well.

Trump ‘is learning the hard way that swarms of cheap drones can quickly exhaust the US arsenal… a form of asymmetric attrition known as “firing gold at plastic”. The US is reportedly wasting Patriots worth $4m…to shoot down $20,000 Shahed-136 drones.’

China and Russia are looking on as U.S. depletes its arsenal for a war that doesn’t even benefit itself. If they keep going this way, let’s see how long it takes for China to attack Taiwan, knowing there’s just an inept U.S. drunkenly tripping around the globe, losing its defences and its power

Interviewer: "What's your take on how he's framing the economy?"

And every one of the owners of the biggest platforms has allowed or ensured the severe enshittification of its service, & in many cases an increase in the abuse and disrespect of women & the endangerment of children. Boy billionaires, making the world worse for everyone else as fast as they can.

Pathetic sycophants.
And this is what the once proud democracy of the U.S. has sunk to. Once the envy of the world, where all over the globe ppl wanted to support America, *be* America. Now U.S. is just another ruthless dictatorship, nothing special or new. And it’s the GOP that did it
Listening to Trump's SOTU address... it's not the roll out of his demented "greatest hits" that's appalling...
But the rolling, thunderous applause after every one of his vile utterances and flat- out lies.
Feeling for American friends right now. How to come back from this?
Albo doesn’t require loyalty of the media, judiciary, public service, comedians, tourists, students….. you get the picture.
But Albanese will pay the ultimate price if he keeps stifling his colleagues who represent us. He’ll lose, leaving us to live with the lying lunatics of the Far Right
Call their bluff and let them F-off, as they contribute very, very little to Australia.
Independent Senator David Pocock has added his voice to calls for a 25% tax on gas exports.
