This is set to be the @albomp.bsky.social govt's 38th 🤯 new/extension Coal/Gas project APPROVAL Just as he tells #ClimateWeekNYC it's the turn of politicians to match the "bravery" of survivors of climate devastation—“There’s no avoiding the scale of our responsibility – or the cost of inaction.”

Congratulations, News Corp, on celebrating 11 years of not paying a single cent in tax. But per new ATO data released today, the Murdoch company isn’t even the worst offender. A slew of corporate entities made a motza off Australia and paid zilch in tax. www.crikey.com.au/2026/10/01/n...

News Corp celebrates more than a decade of paying zero tax in Australia
News Corp continues to make serious money in Australia while paying no tax. But even the Murdoch monolith isn't the nation's worst tax dodger.

Fair enough to judge Trump on what he has achieved. Entanglement in a costly forever war, high gas prices, high interest rates, ballooning national debt, loss of free press and respect for courts of law. But he and his friends did get very rich.

CNN may not need to be shut down to lose its bite. As the Ellisons move to take control of the network, the danger is that journalists will face pressure to avoid challenging Trump, Robert Reich writes. #MediaFreedom #CNN

The danger for CNN isn’t being shut down. It’s being silenced from within
CNN is set to join CBS News under the Ellisons’ ownership. With Trump openly hostile to critical coverage, the concern is not that the network will disappear, but that its journalists will face pressure to stop asking difficult questions.
