Shoebridge: As you travel around the country, the call that I'm NOT hearing is "What do we want? Gradual change! When do we want it? In due course..." that is the dead politics of Labor, its the dead politics of the coalition, and when you test it, its the dead politics of One Nation #auspol

The RBA governor claims they cannot do anything about productivity, yet they increase borrowing costs for technology that increases productivity and they also want to kill overall spending, which, via the accelerator, drives investment expenditure, which, in turn, drives productivity growth.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

“There’s a feeling today that Britain really only found out about the Holocaust at the end of the war. But in 1942, the year in which most victims of the Holocaust were murdered, you couldn’t really escape this information in Britain. It was in every newspaper. It was on the BBC.”
