Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

There are renewed calls for a ban on Airbnbs as a new report shows holiday homes vastly outnumber permanent rentals in small regional communities.

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has vowed to amend the Sex Discrimination Act after the Federal Court upheld a landmark ruling that the exclusion of a transgender woman from a female-only app was discriminatory.

Having lost the argument on property investors, the AFR is now trying to say investors in shares etc should be able to get 50% tax free because… “innovation” lulz. Chalmers has been very clear he wants to even up taxes on wages and passive income

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Rupert's campaign against this budget will resonate extremely well with voters at the upcoming 1950 federal election

Multi-millionaire Pauline Hanson is very upset with the budget tax changes because they "redistribute wealth!" (Video credit: Mike Bowers)

My heart breaks for the student, a 19-year old trans woman; for her family; for the LGBTQIA+ community at UW; and for all affected by this horrific loss. Trans people deserve to live without fear, free from the rhetoric and actions that fuel this kind of violence. She deserved so much better.

Incredible community note.

🚨NSW Police and its watchdog the LECC have closed ranks over the anti-Herzog rally, refusing to say what evidence Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon has formally moved to keep secret. Refusing to say how many “secrecy notices” he has issued, hiding evidence from public... theklaxon.com.au/wzff

Monetary policy trade-offs are getting worse. The Reserve Bank of Australia is confronting rising inflation and downgraded growth forecasts. And there's nothing it can really do about it.

Horrendous performance by Michele Bullock Saying raising rates won't affect inflation but need to do it so we don't spend more later if oil prices come down. live.thepoint.com.au

The economic equivalent of cutting off your leg to save you from the risk of future sprains. Diabolical. Admits there is nothing this rate raise will do to stop inflation, but doing it anyway just in case there is increased spending in the future. But it's fine for businesses to increase prices.

Michele Bullock thinks real wage growth falling after COVID was a good thing and she's worried they might go up this time. Brain dead belief that it is always 1979. Please resign and get someone who is not an RBA lifer. live.thepoint.com.au

This is a First Amendment violation. This is very illegal! A politician using the power of his office to silence criticism is EXACTLY what the First Amendment was designed to prevent. I hope Kimmel sues the hell out of Trump and wins a ton of money. Yes, it’s a real tweet: x.com/whitehouse/s...

If you spent the Morrison years furious at his secrecy, at his obedience to the corporate death cult, and at his fawning to American ruling class power, but you're not bothered by the identical caricteristics in Albanese, you're not into politics, you're into team sports
