Many Australians this week have broken bones, are battered, bruised & hurt - as they attended a peaceful protest against a Genocide - all because Anthony Albanese yet again showed flawed judgement by asking the head of State of the country committing the genocide 😩 #auspol

A Facebook post offering women $55,000 to build their first home looked like a scam. But 15 women took the chance to go from homeless to home owner.

Boost your productivity! My @smh @theage cartoon.
Four frames. Title: “HOW TO BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY” 1. “Profits down? Workers slacking off? You need a productivity stick!” Be-suited chap whacking person at desk over the head with a stick. “Work harder!” (Whack!) Worker: “Ouch” 2.”Lack the imagination to innovate? You need an IP sucker, to monetise other people’s genius” Machine called OPEN AI like a vacuum cleaner attached to wall and to worker’s computer. Worker looks vacant. Machine goes “Chugga chugga”. 3.”Taxes eating a hole in your company profits after all that whacking and sucking? You need a tax break!” Boss in suit salutes tax man as he passes tax envelope over - while tugging string - “yoink!” - pulling bundle of cash out of envelope. 4. “Remember, productivity is all about making more from less. Just like when your workers have to water down their soup.” Scene man woman child at table with bowls, holding spoons and looking bleak.
