Israel was forged out of ethnic cleansing and apartheid. The Greens have very belatedly recognised what should have been obvious all along

The government wants to find savings in the budget by cutting health care rebates for Australians over 65. Hey @albomp.bsky.social and @jimchalmers.bsky.social, how about instead you look for savings from the big companies that don’t pay royalties AND get massive tax rebates like FTCs?

People are claiming that Elon Musk messed with Starlink in Ukraine because Trump asked him. I think a more likely reason is that Ukraine damaging Russian data centers embarrassed Elon by showing how many of his Twitter followers are nonexistent and how much traffic on Twitter is driven by bots.
