NFF and Service Stations: Whatever you do don't run a fear campaign about fuel supply: Every LNP question: We're running out of fuel!! OMFG!!! What will you do???!!!!! live.thepoint.com.au

An Iranian general learns Australian sailors were on a sub which sank his warship. He's lashing out everywhere, bombing embassies, hotels, airports. Is Australia now a target? Does it even matter that our dumb politicians think it's not significant our military personnel helped sink his ship?

Big gas is law unto itself. It owns most of our politicians. But don't the gas fat cats look uncomfortable when they finally get called out? Greedy bastards fracking our kids' future.

“The gas export industry already gets most of its gas for free. This conference is gas companies saying they want publicly-subsidised infrastructure as well,” said Rod Campbell, Research Director at The Australia Institute. Read more: https://theaus.in/4cahXYz

The Vic election is 9 months away. Front page of today's Herald Sun is practically a Liberal how to vote card. If the Libs lose a 4th straight election, what does that say about the influence of the Hun? Could it be that all the beats ups and lies actually drive voters the other way?

Do beer drinkers pay more tax than gas companies? Yes, they do! Beer excise > PRRT Beer drinkers' income tax > gas company income tax Thread below, full details here: australiainstitute.org.au/report/tax-b...

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

A 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17bn every year. Aussies pay more tax on beer than the gas industry pay on gas exports. End the scam: https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/fix_gas_export_problem_b?utm_campaign=petition&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky&utm_term=CLI_FossilFuel&utm_content=0

"Injured outrage" and "sulky resentment". This is the bloke the Liberals think can win back female voters. independentaustralia.net/politics/pol...

"Best qualified idiot" Put that on your business card, Angus

Liberals Vice President Fiona Scott said, just minutes before the spill ... "I hope this is rock bottom" Then they elected Angus Taylor as leader. And Jane Hume as deputy. Two of the great success stories of the 2025 election.

Senator James Paterson just said dumping Sussan Ley and making Angus Taylor leader was a case of "change or die." He's wrong. It's both.

Seeing as we don't have a federal opposition, it's up to independents to hold the government to account. @davidpocock.bsky.social asks why the world's 3rd-biggest gas producer gets more tax from Australian beer drinkers than foreign companies exporting OUR gas. www.instagram.com/reels/DUm_rB...

I've covered a lot of protests: Save Albert Park, Richmond Secondary College, the 98 waterfront dispute. Some were rugged affairs. Shields, batons, horses. But I don't remember punching. 3 or 4 officers laying into a pinned victim with fists. Without uniforms, there'd be jail terms.

Next time a politician offers their "thoughts and prayers" after a tragedy, will Karl Stefanovic ask them if they're trying to pick a fight? How can praying be provocative? Karl's been dismissed as a dumb autocue reader today. My gut feeling is that he knew exactly what he was doing.

Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing - during the last election the former Liberal MP (in my seat) Jason Falinski fronted what he called a grassroots movement to attack Teal MPs who advocate climate action - turns out it was entirely funded by the Coal Industry. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

This is indefensible. Calls for people to lose their jobs and livelihoods are overdone in Australia. But how can these officers continue to be employed? Surely they must be charged with assault.

For all the PM's talk about our "Pacific family", Australia is a neighbor from hell. We burn and sell the fossil fuels which put their futures at risk (yet promise "meaningful action"). We pillage their labour force then mistreat workers when they come here (yet call it "win-win scheme").

So the going rate for a $600k donation is a $400m payback, with taxpayers picking up the tab. What a return.

There’s a real opportunity for sensible reform to the CGT discount on investment properties to incentivise the new housing supply. It’s something Senator Lambie & I had the PBO model years ago & will keep pushing the govt to implement. It won’t solve housing affordability on its own but it’ll help

As this new Aukus report outlines, Australia has committed, in USD: $3 billion to our own sub industry $3 billion to the US industry $3 billion to the UK industry And zero dollars of that *US$9 billion* is refundable. We don't get our money back when the stuff we ordered doesn't arrive.

The only winners out of today’s interest rate increase are the big banks. And they don’t need the win. They’re already making 200k profit off the average mortgage! This government is choosing to let ordinary people cop the pain, while corporate profits soar.

My guess is he'll say one thing and do the opposite.

A poetic explanation of the weakness of today's politicians. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

So, Albanese still miles in front even if he defects to the Liberals. Makes sense.

And as @mon4kooyong.bsky.social suggests, we should name these disastrous heatwaves after the corporations which fuel them. I know they shamelessly trash the planet and pay no tax, but they deserve to be shamed nonetheless.

Triple J Hottest 100 out tomorrow! Last year just 27 Aus songs made it. Lowest since 1994!! Why? – Streaming favours the USA Thankfully, DJ Albo is in the house and can turn this around! Thread on how.

All those nasty cheap shots, lies and misinformation post-Bondi have come back to bite poor old Sussssssan. "Senator Bridget McKenzie, Senator Susan McDonald and Senator Ross Cadell have each offered their resignations from the Shadow Cabinet, as is appropriate, and I have accepted them"

George Conway: “Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all”

Why in god's name is the government even negotiating with the opposition on hate/gun laws? Labor has the numbers in the House. In the Senate, surely they'd start with ten progressive Greens rather than 27 Coalition dinosaurs. The Libs and Nats are irrelevant. IGNORE THEM.

Andrew Hastie politicising deadly bushfires. Fresh from Libs politicising Bondi massacre. Gutter politics at its most gross. Little wonder voters are abandoning them in droves.

I'm sure all the stories in the Herald Sun are really helpful, too. The Hun's pathological obsession with Dan Andrews is pathetic.

The federal opposition may be desperate and irrelevant, but the way it has politicised the Bondi Beach shootings is a shameful low, even by Liberal/National subterranean moral standards. www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

He didn't have the ticker or the talent last time. Even shamelessly cashing in on a tragedy, who's to say anyone would elect this lightweight back to Parliament?

Miners exaggerating tax. Again. What's new is that this is so demonstrably false. Will they take down false ads? If you see this ad after today, please let me know. Debunked on @thepointau.bsky.social here, more below: thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

I know they're damned if they do and damned if they don't but the political posturing at Bondi is making me nauseous. Hanson, who's done more to stoke the hatred and division which has led us here than anyone, knows nothing more than slogans, stunts and stupidity. What an awful, awful person.
