The PM says taxing billionaires doesn’t “add up”. You know what doesn’t add up? Billionaires making 1300 times more than the average Australian. Massive corporations paying less tax than you. That doesn’t add up. The Greens will force billionaires to start giving back.

Australia’s billionaires raked in $67,000 an hour last year. While millions struggled to afford rent or groceries. It’s time to turn the tables. The Greens have announced our plan to tax Australia's 150 billionaires to fund cost of living relief. Join the campaign: greens.org.au/billionaires

There's just way too much to be very cross about, today. The Australian government investing OUR MONEY in EllenMusk's stupid space project and weapons companies is next level crap. I've disagreed with governments before but I've never been this disappointed in one.

I just had a traditional Aussie fish and chip shop burger and it was heaven I am not going to argue that America doesn't rule the burger But the patty was homemade seasoned with salt and some other magic subtle season. Juicy, simple and I don't feel ill after eating it 10/10

A new Powerful Owl pair! We had found the female in January at a new site. We'd seen and heard her a few times since, but only her, so we'd begun to think she was on her own. But last night we saw them fly out together, and today we found them roosting next to each other. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

the clear sounds of marching footsteps. "The Dentrassi?" whispered Arthur. "No, those are steel tipped boots," said Ford. There was a sharp ringing rap on the door. "Then who is it?" said Arthur. "Well," said Ford, "if we're lucky it's just the Vogons come to throw us into space."

I was today years old when I learnt you don't calculate dog to human years by x 7 anymore, there's some new formula that accelerates their first couple of years, slows down later years and changes with their size... too hard, fuck it, I'm sticking with x 7🤷🏻‍♀️🐶
