This is the third credible attempt on Trump’s life. Prediction: This will make headline news for a few days. There will be conspiracy theories about this being an attempt to stop the slide in Trump’s popularity. And in a few weeks no one will care or even mention it.

Albanese poised to kill off move to increase taxes on gas giants
The government will not increase taxes on gas giants in next month's budget, echoing the industry's argument that exporters are already paying tens of billions of dollars in taxes each year.

The Australian govt promising Australians they will do everything they can to ensure supply of fuel has consequences. Consequences for our neighbours, consequences for countries whose economy is not as strong or as large as ours. We’re going to screw them over just to minimise our inconvenience.

While we watch the price of petrol and diesel rise thanks to Trump's stupidity what we're not noticing is the coming LNG shock. Australia is a major exporter of LNG but it's extraction has never been popular here. Global pressure is bound to rise on our govt which may lead to forced fracking here.

"Civilized nations look with horror upon offers of rewards for the assassination of enemies as relapses into barbarism." From Article 148 of the Lieber Code (General Orders No. 100, April 24, 1863), the military law followed by the Union army and ratified under Abraham Lincoln. Just sayin.

So anyway, with Trump and Bibi attacking Iran and Iran responding with "No oil for you" you know who is really going to win from this? Putin. Russia has a fair bit of oil that the west was sort of shunning through sanctions but not really, and will now desperately need that oil. Just a thought.

So Israel and the US have attacked Iran. Oh I’m sorry, I forgot when it was colonial powers it’s always a “pre-emptive strike”. Like the bully’s “look what you made me do” these tiny little limp dicked men need to send others to do the killing for them.

Client used a graphic designer to create some icons for him. All nicely laid out, all consistent with each other, it was a nice bit of work. The client now feeds those icons into an AI app to create new icons with the same style for a fraction of what the GD charged. AI is cancer.

My Auspol forecast: Nats successfully blow up the Coalition. Joyce moves to One Nation and becomes leader. ON wins lower house seats due to the Libs tearing themselves apart. Nats (with LNP ministers deserting Libs) forms coalition with One Nation. Entire country face palms.

Just curious but why does there have to be an official ceasefire for Israel to lift the aid blockade? The only ones targeting aid and aid workers has been the IDF so can't they just stop doing that and let the aid through? Do we really need a 20 point plan from Trump for this?

Albo on 7:30 saying he wants a demilitarised Palestine but Israel should be allowed to remain “secure”. So Israel keeps its weapons, Palestine can’t protect itself, why on earth wouldn’t Israel simply go back to occupying Palestine? Pathetic and par for the course with this government.
