There came a time when we understood that asbestos was a product that when you used it as intended would cause harm. That's now the case with coal and gas. We don't mine and export asbestos anymore. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Oh wow. This is proper fucked. That list of folks eligible for a free vaccine is *narrow*. So anyway, we gave BHP $600m in diesel rebates this past year. You know they really needed them because in the same year the company booked a $14b profit.

RBA news awful for the millions in mortgage stress. It's punishment for homeowners & profit for the banks already making $$$ on home loans. Tax the 1%, not hard working people. Rates hikes won’t fix the housing crisis but a government that treats housing as a human right will.

Agreed. Power has the privilege to say sorry and that’s the end of the matter. I wouldn’t receive that same treatment. I couldn’t say to the judge ‘sorry I hacked Medicare thanks for letting me off’. This huge difference between rich & poor foments anger to the duopoly. Work for us for once!

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.

Latest energy figures are out for 2024-25 - once again 83% of Australia's gas is exported or used to convert gas to PNG exports. There is no gas shortage. We do not need more gas. We need to #TAXtheGAS
Charts showing in 2024-25 4,862PJ of gas was exported or used in LNG plants, while only 1,016PJ was use by the domestic economy of mining, manufacturing, residential and gas power plants.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Farmers who intend to vote for One Nation should know that they are accepting that “climate change” is normal.By doing so they will negate any logical argument for taxpayer assistance when “normal” weather events occur. Don’t ask for help if you deny the very thing you need help to overcome!

Capitalism sees the natural world as nothing but 'resources' to exploit and profit from. When one is exhausted it moves on, inexorably, seeking out the next 'business opportunity' to wipe out. We won't arrest the murder of our living planet without recognising and acting on this basic premise.
