Alan Kohler today on failure to curb global warming... "One of the key reasons for that failure has been the cynical opposition & denial by Rupert Murdoch & his media companies in order to make money, which has meant that the issue became a totem of right-wing politics" #auspol

I criticise Labor because they often say they're better than "the alternative". Such a very low bar. Coudn't even limbo under it. How about a bar, so high (as third richest country on earth), that others could never hope to reach?

Fox Propaganda wanted President Obama in jail for ObamaCare and called President Biden a dictator for trying to erase student debt, but haven’t said one word about the orange felon trying to fund Jan 6 terrorists, protecting pedos or committing money laundering. Funny how that works.

Angus Taylor has completely wedged himself now. He can't bring himself to say the word "multiculturalism" nor can he say "monoculturalism". He needs to win back those city seats but he's taking on water rapidly. Perhaps a slogan will fix it. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A few weeks ago we broke news Thales and the Australian gov are making explosives for the IDF. I assume you've noticed mainstream press hasn't followed this up? Anyway, I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but Thales is a sponsor of the National Press Club.

Famously, if you force Airbnb's out of your city it hurts the local toilet paper supplier and the soaps.
"I support local businesses, down to the toilet paper supplier and the soaps. That's why I think the conversation around [short-term rentals] is more complex than simply hosts versus renters," Lorigan said.
