It’s rare to have such stark differences in a budget – people with disabilities suffering some of the biggest cuts on record while the wealthiest in society lose some tax breaks and they are apparently the group most deserving of our concern. #NDIS #tax #auspol www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Australians with disabilities copped the biggest cuts in the budget. Yet conservative media’s heart bleeds only for the wealthy | Greg Jericho
The reaction to the budget has revealed Australia’s warped priorities, with the appalling inequality in dental care among the issues actively ignored

Hiking rates is such a blunt instrument. There are other, better ways to target inflation
If the RBA unleashes further painful interest rate hikes, we risk severely hurting the economy and plunging into recession without reducing inflation at all.

Antisemitism: “It’s a trick. We always use it.”
Public debate about genocide in Gaza is increasingly dominated by claims of antisemitism. The result is a political climate where outrage at Israel’s actions is recast as prejudice.

"Not all men."
Just 150,000 German men sharing themselfs raping drugged women.IN GERMANY, A
27-YEAR-OLD DRUGGED AND RAPED HIS GIRLFRIEND.
Then he sent the videos to a group chat.
In his room, they found hidden torture devices, sleeping pills, and tools to open her mouth when she was drugged.
The victim had
no memory of the rapes.HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE GROUP CHAT
"DRIVING SCHOOL FOR EXPERTS IN GERMANY," ALONG WITH 150,000 MEN.
An international network.
They called women "vehicles,"
and raping them when they were drugged "driving."He was charged with attempted murder in multiple cases, as the
dosage he used to drug her could be lethal, as well as dangerous bodily harm, aggravated rape, and attempted rape with potential fatal outcomes.
THE VERDICT IS EXPECTED IN MAY.
