Oh wow. This is proper fucked. That list of folks eligible for a free vaccine is *narrow*. So anyway, we gave BHP $600m in diesel rebates this past year. You know they really needed them because in the same year the company booked a $14b profit.

Anthony Galloway from The Australian says you have to question One Nation’s priorities, to not let media into their campaign launch in Victoria—but welcomed in a Neo Nazi. 🙄 “How are they still letting these kinds of people in?”💥 They rely on the Nazi vote, Anthony.

Not to be outdone by Kim Dotcom, I asked Chat GPT to roast Elon Musk. I got a lot more than I bargained for:
Musk could stride onto a stage, shit directly into a Dyson Airblade & announce he'd invented "high-velocity fecal
aerodynamics," & within eleven minutes some dickhead with a blue checkmark would post:
"People laughing don't understand what Elon is actually building here. This changes everything."
Tesla devotees would start taking preorders for the CyberTurd, delivery promised next year.

Petrol price surge sees inflation hit 4%, but yesterday’s rate rise won’t help
Inflation in August rose from 3.5% to 4.0%, which might make you think the RBA had a point in raising interest rates yesterday. The problem is that all of the increase was due to petrol prices.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

We (rightly) talk a lot about gas, but we should not forget we export a hell of a lot more coal and most of it is for burning for electricity rather than being used to produce steel. And all of it destroys the planet. #NoNewMines
