Angus Taylor's migration policy has managed to unite the Business Council, the Chamber of Commerce, the Property Council and the Queensland LNP Premier- all against him. Instead of winning PHON votes, he’s just lost more Lib ones. Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

What a poor decision. Vaccines reduce healthcare costs by preventing more severe disease, not to mention reducing long term impacts.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

This was a satisfying read. First the RBA said our research on profitss was flawed, others even called for our research to be retracted. But we were right all along, and now the RBA's own research shows it. Better late than never I guess thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

if it safe for the community to release a white male adult facing seven charges after seriously injuring Aboriginal children with his car on bail then it is safe for the community to release children and young people accused of car theft and posting to social media on bail.
On Wednesday Andrew Brien, 56, faced
Mildura Magistrates' Court charged with four counts of reckless conduct endangering life, as well as counts of dangerous driving causing serious injury, intentionally causing injury, and driving in a dangerous manner.

The hilarious meta aspect of this story about used EV prices in the US rising is how long they take to reach the obvious (but repugnant to The Discourse) conclusion, that people really like the EVs that US carmakers don’t want to sell them www.cnbc.com/2026/07/31/u...

EV prices aren't following the 'law of used cars,' analyst says — what it means for buyers and sellers
The prices for used electric vehicles have risen this year, which is unusual, experts said. Affordability and high gas prices help explain why, they said.
