It’s one of the most impressively managed places I’m aware of now. Thanks Mike. I’m staggered by its beauty and all of its logistical feats. 🙌

It’s certainly on The World Heritage List (and, I’m glad to say, managed as such). From my last trip:

Thank you. I do recognise her face. I didn’t have a name before. Curious that she was chosen as Deputy over others who were hoping for the top spot. I wish them all well, and a strong message that better is possible with a left wing progressive government. They do need the ALP for this.

So exciting. Lord Howe Island looks like it should be listed as a wonder of the world. So beautiful. I’ll be enviously thinking of you. 😁🙌❤️🌺 And can’t wait to see the photos.

Famously praised for her "fragrance" by the judge in the 1987 libel trial, she once said: "We've explored the further reaches of 'for better and for worse' than most couples." - Mrs Mary Archer. It appears she did her best to maintain grace and decorum. I bet she has some stories to tell.

The expression, “What I would say…” is a sure-fire introduction to a non-answer and has reached plague proportions among the political class.

Exactly. And we don’t care what they would say, what we care about is the policy that lands. And if it supports us in our living standards and health outcomes - more than overseas and local corporate private profits. It’s epidemic levels of tax evasion and corruption and gluttony now. #auspol

The work is what matters.

Is company tax just like completely optional for any new industries these days?

We need regulators doing the job of regulating.

51% of all resources and companies profiting from them should be Aussie controlled. That would fix the economy quite nicely I think. Alongside ensuring domestic supply was always affordable.

I thought the basis was SHY not being elected leader and the fact of a new Greens leader due to Larissa Waters stepping down due to illness.

yup, they are doing everything they can to ensure an alternative party gets a serious grip - here and now aka One Nation.... how stupid can they be?

Makes me wonder too. Yeah. What is hard about calling for what’s good for everyone? Why isn’t that in the calls we see? #auspol

Obviously the stress reduction of such a move would be beneficial.

Indeed we do. Inflation rising, rates and unemployment increasing. They pick us off as they just pick up and start again.

Restructuring needed asap - give Australia at least 51% control of all resources that come from our land. Right across the board. Seek to regain the wealth of our nation explicitly to ensure Australians always do well for it, and help others after helping ourselves. #auspol #commonsensepolicy

And it’s time they insisted on owning at least 51% control of all resources mining and extraction and production and ensured Australia benefits “the most” from our countries resources. Japan can have 49% share. But we control it. That’s a far better outcome I think. #gas #auspol #resources #auspol

Australia’s sovereign wealth boosting another nation more than us? What the? Seems people still aren’t understanding everything that’s wrong with this. Can we please move to control 51% of all resource, mining, corporations removing any of our resources? Now. #auspol @albomp.bsky.social

The news is filled with so much drama. 🎭 our governments use doublespeak and language designed not to answer, not explaining, not assisting. We understand already, don’t they know this? Even without the words? Doing the job means taking us with you. 🤔 #auspol #democracy

Return on Investment seems important. Meanwhile there’s Australians wishing governments hadn’t been so shortsighted as to place data centre nobody wants near them twenty meters away from their doors. Australia is fudging this and harming its own, for what? US Corporate profits? 😳 🤦‍♀️ #auspol #AI

So the only tool the RBA can use is to up interest rates so the poor can't spend, go out, eat etc? Why aren't the billionaires hit in any way whatsoever? What about a tax on unjustified price increases? Share profits? Why only hit the poor?
