Australia wants social media to be ‘safe by design’. What does that actually look like? theconversation.com/australia-wa...

What's the point of a being the first trillionaire if as a person you are more like Dr Strangelove than Nelson Mandella?

For the Press Club How many more times does Pauline Hanson think Donald (her hero) Trump will announce the impending end of the Iran war followed by announcing the resumption of American strikes? How would One Nation keep the fossil fuel flowing?

Does it not matter to the Australian media or the Australian people that Pauline Hanson, a contender for Prime Minister, and Gina Rinehart Australia's richest woman, whole heartedly support Donald Trump, a convicted felon and a rapist? Any questions on that at the Press Club? Not holding my breath.

Prepare for the politics of the gutter aimed at the uncouth, the angry, the ignored, the racist, the jealous, the bitter, the ignorant, the ones who feel powerful kicking a sick dog and Pauline Hanson. The American style media, look away, inflame, promote and hear the till ring, have arrived.

What One Nation can raise in a day is really of no consequene whatsoever when Gina Rinehart, the richest person in Australia, is happy to back her. We are watching the propagandisation of the Australian media which has become a One Nation advertising agent. America has arrived with Lachlan Murdoch.

There's no such thing as climate change and sea level rise, eh? Pauline is right. Really?

DeAdder is relentless. 💪🏼 #Platner

Do Australians really want reform? It’s a reasonable question to ask as the Albanese government weathers trenchant attacks on its federal budget. Australia’s far right demagogue, Pauline Hanson, is being canvassed by some as a possible prime minister in 2028. theconversation.com/reform-is-ha...

Great piece from @chriswallace.bsky.social #auspol theconversation.com/reform-is-ha...

ZELENSKYY: Russia losing more than 30,000 soldiers killed or wounded per month. Our long-range strikes on Russian logistics, oil refining, military production also very effective. Russian budget full of holes. We need to keep up pressure and bring Russia onto diplomatic track.

When have you in 30 years seen Pauline Hanson smile, or appear really happy? When have you heard her speak of generosity, kindness, loving care and compassion? A country cannot run on rage, fear, jealousy, outrage and ridiculous ideas alone nor for long. Be warned. America didn't listen.

Stymied in her efforts to gain influence at Fairfax, Rinehart responded by selling her shares. She has since sought influence elsewhere. Earlier this year it was revealed she had donated $900,000 to the right-wing lobby group Advance … The Saturday Paper

Whoa! The West is a brutal reminder that you can’t negotiate with climate change. 70% of the West’s water supply depends on mountain snowpack. This year, record warmth and the “March Meltdown” turned that natural reservoir into a trickle.

Hating on Zionism and Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing and Apartheid and Illegal Occupation and Illegal War IS NOT hating on Jews and/or Judaism. I am very tired of the lengths some people are going to in their efforts to conflate these very different things. It needs to stop.

Two-thirds of Australian households own their own home. 60% of Australians’ wealth is tied up in real estate, higher than the OECD average. Australians also hold one of the highest levels of household debt, due to the large mortgages required to keep pace with property prices.

So your children can't afford a house? I blame the Greens. Here’s why: As a party it cannot help itself shooting themselves in the foot; the reasons they argue about the immediate change of the Capital Gains Tax are ridiculous and frighteningly stupid. theaimn.net/your-childre...

So what do Australians shut out of the housing market think of properties, even in remote areas on the Murray River, soaring in price by 50% from 2022 to 2026? OK for some. Others just keep slogging away at work.

As America marks its 250th birthday, Trump not only wants to render history glorious, he wants it to be vainglorious. The White House is also whitewashing US history. A weekend essay on Trump’s assault on history: open.substack.com/pub/historyn...

"For decades now, we have asked, urged, exhorted, pleaded with our politicians to bring about tax reform. So Treasurer Chalmers does it in this budget – and look at the hue and cry and the cries of woe and doomsday that have flowed."  Graeme Samuel theconversation.com/politics-wit...
