Anthony Galloway from The Australian says you have to question One Nation’s priorities, to not let media into their campaign launch in Victoria—but welcomed in a Neo Nazi. 🙄 “How are they still letting these kinds of people in?”💥 They rely on the Nazi vote, Anthony.

I've created a motivational doomsday device. After dealing with awful customers, I send them an email calling them all sorts of profanities, but I add a 5 year delay. It's to ensure I quit this crap job & pursue my dream move to Perth. Got 3 years left from the 1st email I sent

When the Trump administration started dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system earlier this year, scientists, fishermen and Congress fought back. On Saturday, a 238-foot ship set sail to reinstall the first batch of monitors in the waters of the Pacific.

If #Netenyahu loses the election, who is most likely to win? and, do they share any of Netenyahu's beliefs re their right to #Gaza, #WestBank and war against #Palestine? Is there such a thing as an Israeli politician popular enough to end their war and rebuild Gaza? Anyone know?

“The political slogans will flow. Do I have to give up owning a home to control inflation? Why should I have to lose my job? The Coalition and One Nation will make much of the resurgence in interest rates without any hint of what they would actually do.” trib.al/3LKbMRk

Economic myth management

Does the Coalition really want to cut back on initiatives to ease the cost of living? This is a complex area with complex trade-offs that are hard to ‘explain’ to the public.
