Seriously, what a load of bollocks @abcnewsbot.bsky.social, you find a couple of social media active farmers who are whinging bc their parents are about to be taxed an extra 15% bc collectively they will have more than $6M in super? Way out of touch. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Super changes will hit those with millions but they say the impact could be devastating
This farming family has millions in super but proposed reforms have left them in a position where they may have to sell the farm.

Lord! Someone must have put a bomb under Speers, or taken the muzzle off him. The Israili deputy PM got a fair grilling from him re Gaza. Of course, she ranted on about Israeli safety. Everyone else to blame. None starving in Gaza. All Hamas propaganda. She was the epitome of dreadful.

This morning I noticed the interview Nasser Mashni gave to ABC yesterday was quietly pulled from the ABC website without explanation. As the horror in Gaza escalates, it looks like ABC has chosen to supress a crucial Palestinian voice. The ABC should explain why. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/27/n...

ABC pulls interview with Palestine advocate from website and iview
During the interview, Nasser Mashni made a pointed remark that it was time 'for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea'.

What is the point to these weak responses? Why do Labor keep trying to avoid the inevitable? Australia is a signatory to upholding human rights & international law. The Australian people do not want to be made complicit in genocide! Labor have the mandate ... divest from the US & Israel already!

I see Littleproud is now alleging the failure of the (then) Coalition's nuclear policy was down to a lack of "agile" messaging. No, David. It was a shit policy that was comprehensively rejected by the electorate. Let it go.

The Labor govt has massive political capital and is facing a pathetic opposition. If Albanese and Chalmers fail to lead the nation on the need for genuine tax reform, that will not just be unforgivable cowardice. It's criminal negligence. #auspol

And as of July 1st, if you are aged and require help and are just a couple of thousand dollars over the savings limit, you will pay up to 50% of all wages, sometimes + to $60/hr . This is an inheritance tax. Just watch everyone splash out in June and reduce their savings. 1/2
