No one wants to arrest or convict the wealth class. The entire system avoids it. So, if you are wealthy and the only reason you’re not in jail is because the “acting” AG stopped it from happening… that’s not the flex you think it is.

PSA: the federal government cannot borrow a currency it issues and size of deficit is not a valid policy targeted. Federal spending is constrained by macro conditions this year, not tax receipts last year

No one in govt is talking about before the budget, but just FYI, the level of Jobseeker is now 42% below the poverty line - worse than it was during the Howard years... live.thepoint.com.au

Chart showing level of unemployment benefits relative to the poverty line. It's now at 42% below. In 2007 it was 43%, in 1996 it was 25%

Australia's charged a drone operator who worked for Ukraine, no Au IDF soldiers participating in genocide, or female IDF invited here to enjoy rest between genocide. He has contempt for Au women & children who have committed no crimes? This isn't rational #auspol michaelwest.com.au/okay-ben-rob...

A reminder that the adoption of the IHRA definition - as pushed by Australian Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal - is part of a coordinated global effort to suppress any criticism of Israel's genocidal policies. And the Australian government has caved in. #auspol

It’s not just timid incrementalism. It’s incrementalism designed to limit what seems possible. It’s intended to make the bold reforms we need seem radical. We can’t have nice things, we can only have slightly less shitty versions of nasty things.

Is there anything more modern-day-Labor than Richard Marles defending Australia troops against slander without mentioning the slander was committed by Donald Trump? Surface level concern underpinned by utter cowardice and complicity.

The tweet reads: Today, I want to be very clear -

The more than 40,000 who served our nation in the 20 years of the war in Afghanistan did so with extraordinary bravery and made our nation proud.

The 47 who made the ultimate sacrifice will forever have their names etched on our nation’s most sacred roll of honour.

For those who were injured physically, and mentally and emotionally, our nation remains in your debt.

The brave deeds of each of these people now form part of the history of our nation. And in thanking them for their service, all of us- in knowing they carried our flag- feel an immense sense of pride.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Australia Day is such bullshit. NSW proclamation day at best. At worst a celebration of the crimes of colonisation. If you have to acknowledge that the day is a source of pain for many, that’s a damn good sign it’s a shit day to have as your national day.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Labelling the present green FDI boom led by Chinese firms as BRI 2.0 only undermines the value of that project and adds geopolitical connotations that are unnecessary and, it appears, quite unwarranted. #auspol #china #BRI

China’s FDI, not the BRI, drives a global green transition

Over the past few years, outward Chinese foreign direct investment commitments in green manufacturing have grown rapidly and now dwarf the Marshall Plan in their scale.

Thinking about Charlie Kirk and the Australian reaction. First of all, the Australian media's first response was to repeat the propaganda they'd been fed. Several outlets used the same photo of Kirk throwing MAGA hats to the crowd. A right-wing politician who'd lost her public role...

If batteries are so good Chris why is gas at the heart of of ALP's energy policy, as approval of the massive Woodside "carbon bomb" out to 2070 shows? You could have gone with cheap renewables but chose fossil-fuels (& the donations) instead, and all Australians are now paying the price ... #auspol
