When money makes money, you couldn't spend it fast enough at just $1,000 per day
If you had a billion dollars and invested it, what would the interest be on 1 billion dollars per day?

If you invested a billion dollars with the interest rates below, here's how much you would earn each day:

1% interest = $27,397 per day.
3% interest = $82,191 per day.
8% interest = $219,176 a day.

Shame on channel 9 for calling this FREE SPEECH BATTLE Hate speech comes at a cost - it's not free and it's dangerous. Especially as a Parliamentarian, her words set an example and could very well incite violence

I was never going to vote for Pauline's party, but now I'm thinking about telling all the other parents at school/sport/party pickups and drop offs exactly why she's so dangerous for our kids And don't forget her party was trying to secure NRA funding for weaker gun laws a wee while back too

One Nation’s polling surge, which has pushed it above Labor and the Coalition, has focused attention on the right-wing populist party’s policy platform.

Has anyone seen this retraction from the Australian Financial Review? Does anyone know what parts were wrong, like is a significant portion of our fuel still overseas but just not in the USA? Added 2022 fact check for context: reneweconomy.com.au/factcheck-en... #auspol
This AFR opinion piece headline says: "RETRACTION: We could run out of fuel – and our reserves are overseas"

In the body of the article: "This article which was originally published on March 10, 2026 has been retracted.

correction —The Australian Financial Review has retracted this article because the author’s claim that a “significant portion of Australia’s strategic fuel reserve is held offshore, largely in the United States”  was factually incorrect."
