The Knesset (Israel's parliament) elections panel has voted overwhelmingly to exclude all the Arab majority parties from participating in the upcoming national election. The decision will be reviewed by the Supreme Court. We couldn't possibly suggest that this sounds a little like apartheid.

The US situation is what will happen here if One Nation & a lot of Lib/National Party politicians get their way. Pregnancy is the biggest statistical risk to women's health - after ex- and partner violence. The next politician to say a version of 'feminism has gorn too far' should be abyss-hurled.

The AI companies want to gobble up Australia’s creative properties for free - so APRA AMCOS (who handle Australian music licensing) are demanding an urgent study by the govt to establish the value of those properties. Every sovereign economy should do the same. www.apraamcos.com.au/about-us/new...

Interesting analysis. I would also expect volume of sales to contribute to either higher or lower prices. Popular coffee shops in Australia are satisfying a continuous stream of customers with little time between orders.

Also reflects the hollowing out of the Public Service, with consultants on ridiculous rates engaged to do what should be, and once was, undertaken by public servants. Funds wasted on companies that send profits off shore and advise others on how to avoid paying taxes.

The type of enterprise the tax system should reward is not the “make a startup, sell to private equity, then buy a yacht” type but the “build something that creates employment and shared prosperity long term” type. All this CGT whinging is just amorality being treated like it’s something good.

Same with electric buses they keep trialing them while continuing to buy noisy diesels. When they do order them NSW Transport will forget something important in the tender which will cause endless contract disputes and delays.

In my view the Hare-Clark system, as used in the ACT and Tassie, provides a good compromise between the benefits of both local and proportional representation.

"The government might be wishing Australia taxed its LNG exports as much as the royalties on iron ore, and better still, coal. "LNG prices are soaring, but we only get 2% of that on top of the company tax, compared with 7% for iron ore and 13% for coal." 👏👏👏 @alankohler.bsky.social #auspol

Chris Minns' authoritarianism is appalling, deliberately criminalising peaceful protests, supporting police thuggery, considering allowing armed militia, and ignoring the advice of the ombudsman concerning prisons. He is a disgrace.

@jimchalmers.bsky.social great news. Just do it rather than allowing the endless debate to continue when everyone knows it is an awful tax break that needs to be significantly wound back. The rorts associated with family trusts also need to be added to the list of dodgy tax minimisation practices.

This is completely untrue. He said "if there was any misinterpretation, then I certainly apologise", which is not an apology. He then went on to dissemble about what he had meant when he called her "difficult", and he offered no apology at all to Grace.

Cathy your cartoon is brilliant as usual. Rather than attempting to criminalise people associated with their repatriation the Government under Morrison and then Albanese should have facilitated their return. Surely our legal and justice systems are capable of dealing with them appropriately.
