everything would be less stressful for the ALP if they just fucking admitted to themselves and everyone else they are a right wing party with the goal of remaining in power through appeasing billionaires and business interests.

I guess we should let them pay no tax and just keep going until the world demand slacken off. If you or Poss think gas will be less used because it is not taxed you are ignorant to an extent I did not think possible. They approved a fucking coal mine, yesterday. Adani paid $0 tax in 2024-25

Households in pain – but our budget crisis has an obvious answer

Wilson says Coalition would find savings by cutting NDIS, aged care, childcare

By Emily Kaine

Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson says a Coalition government will seek to make savings by cutting back on NDIS, aged care and childcare, as he argues spending on the schemes is out of control.

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Did you know that 83% of Australia’s gas is used for exports? Australia Institute research shows that over the past 5 years the Australian government has allowed the export of enough gas to supply Australia for more than 20 years? A 25% tax on gas exports could end the gas shortages. #auspol
