Been speaking about this for years. The Nats love a quota when it elevates mediocre blokes - how did Barnaby Joyce or Mike McCormack et al become Deputy PM? The leader of the Nats is always Deputy PM in a coalition govt. That’s a quota, gents. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Coalition happy to have quotas for Nationals on frontbench but not for female Liberal MPs, Tanya Plibersek says

'Careless' is polite for corrupt. David Crisafulli found to be ‘careless’ in not declaring $200k in payments related to company he ran. This follows a 2020 inquiry that found he failed to disclose interests as director and secretary of a company www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol

ICYMI- my #publiceducation cartoon from yesterday's @australia.theguardian.com
Scene is the sandstone entrance to an elite school, "St Exclusivus of the Overpriveleged"
Two state school kids are walking past the entrance, one saying "My mum says none of her kids could EVER go here but some of her tax dollars already do"

New essay from me: The End of Reality, published by @theshot.net.au thanks to @davemilbo.bsky.social 🙏🏽💜 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...
Two years into the US-Israeli genocide of Palestine, which includes invasions into Lebanon and Syria, the bombing of Yemen, and most recently Iran, it's difficult to summon any kind of language to describe the age of barbarity and horror we've entered. I just watched another video of a screaming Palestinian man holding a headless baby. Earlier, before putting my toddler to sleep for his day nap, I kept seeing the blood-drenched face of a martyred little girl flash over his. Whenever I prepare food, I see again the images of American and Israeli soldiers firing into crowds of starving Palestinians, which are not only images, but recurring daily violences. The killing fields of genocide are brought to us live hourly, and each new atrocity appears worse than the last. What could be worse than firing indiscriminately into a crowd of people you have starved near to death? I ask myself, only to read about tanks firing into the crowds. And then jets. What could be worse than starving babies into the earliest grave? I ask myself, then read about the orphaned toddlers eating sand. Then watching another flaming torso in the rubble, another person made into an inferno, this endless holocaust. With answers like these, I now fear asking the question.

The rot started with John Howard. Boomers may be the main beneficiaries of his policies but it's the Silent Generation, for the most part, who kept him in power over a decade. My MIL, now 93, adored him. I can say my late Dad, born in 1917, despised him though. #auspol

Zoe Daniel labelled "embarrassing" for asking for (and 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈, because it was 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒅) a recount. By whom? Bolt? Murray? Credlin? Panahi? No, it was IPA crony Adam Creighton. If Zoe loses, and puts an 'MP' after her name on social media for the next two years, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 would be embarrassing, Adam.

Actually, Gen Z stands to be biggest winner from the $3m super tax
Amid debate about the plan to lift tax on earnings on super balances over $3 million, it’s worth revisiting why we offer super tax breaks.

Sorry to hear Tim Wilson looks to have beaten Zoe Daniel. That’s a massive shame. If this means Tim is front runner for Liberal leader then he’s the Steven Bradbury of the Liberal Party. As an ex-IPA hack who rose to fame denying climate change, he will do nothing to solve Liberals’ electoral woes.

Asked a reasonable question about AUKUS and Trump. Was told it’s “not wise” — not “in our national interest” — to even ask. $368 billion on subs, no Plan B, and bipartisan silence? Yeah, right. Vote Independent. Because questions matter. #AUKUS #Goldstein #IndependenceWorks
