A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australia’s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles. We don’t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports. @emmashortis.bsky.social went to take a look ⤵️

I recall seeing a reasonably well-known psephologist post a few months ago, that people thinking Dutton would borrow his tactics from Trump were completely barking up the wrong tree - almost borderline idiots in fact - which I think says a great deal about focusing solely on quantitative analysis.

Dutton's property investments... A reminder, on this property he made $3,675,000. But because you get a 50% discount on capital gains, he only had to pay tax on $1,837,500. That tax discount each year costs around $22bn - of which $18bn goes to the richest 10%
Photo of a Dutton property: "Palm Beach, Gold Coast: Bought December 2014 for $2,325,000, sold February 2021 for $6 million."Charts showing that the richest 10% get 81% (around $18bn) of the benefit of the CGT 50% discount

Very ironic that Peter Dutton is on TV in parliament emphasizing some of the things Kevin Rudd mentioned in his apology speech - the speech that Peter Dutton walked out. Anything this potato says regarding indigenous issues should be taken with a grain of chicken salt. #auspol
