Can the banks, who dare I say make a healthy profit, drop their charges by the amount small businesses are out of pocket.

South Australia's power grid will be decarbonised next year: “The most striking thing about this transition is how mundane it has been,” David adds. “In contrast to the forecasts of doom, South Australia’s economy hasn’t lost out from the decline of fossil power.”

It’s not a response to banned card surcharges - they’re the excuse for unmitigated greed - and if #theirABC had a journalist worthy of the title, it would have been called out as such! #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Coffee prices at some cafes rise by 10pc after RBA card surcharge ban
A ban on card surcharges has led some cafe owners to lift coffee prices. It's an unintended consequence of the Reserve Bank's card surcharge ban, which was intended to lower prices for consumers.

Who would have thought, after the 2025 election, that Hanson and her clowns would become more popular with voters than the LNP, and we are in a very delicate situation with the media's hatred of labor, challenging the very democracy that is Australia

The state of our political media
Phil Coorey op-ed

“Taylor’s middle ground on migration might be the safest course”

“In a belated, yet noteworthy, contribution to the immigration debate, the Coalition has tried to reconcile two competing interests: how to slash the number of arrivals without hurting the economy.”

I think I just really need people to remember how bad Nazis were. The death camps, Imperialism, eugenics and phrenology as medical policy, the literal breeding factories (did you know the lead singer in ABBA was born in one of those?), the gestapo. How there's a reason Nazis like PHON #auspol.

Sky News is free in regional Australia. Here is why that matters at the ballot box.
BYV: Media ownership is more concentrated in Australia than in almost any comparable democracy. In the regions, with fewer local voices left, one channel is filling the gap.

Households in pain – but our budget crisis has an obvious answer
Australia is at a tipping point. Choosing the brave route – taxing gas and raising revenue – would also, in this case, be the right one.
