Angus Taylor caught fabricating immigration numbers in a shocking trainwreck on #abc730 - Taylor’s 500k claim is not only false, but Ferguson “The 500k figure was put in place by policies that were agreed on by the cabinet that you were part of”💥 Well done Angus🙄 #auspol

Speaking on an Australia Institute webinar, Nobel Prize-winning economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz has urged the Australian Government to “follow the money” and start imposing a “a very, very high tax rate” on the country’s natural resources. Read more on The Point: https://theaus.in/4qEs0bO

Stop spinning it like some scandal BBC. It’s dishonest Reform UK bias. Most of these councils won’t even exist in a year because of reorganisation. So these votes are basically a pointless waste of time and money. Councils asked for delays - most of them under Tories. The Government just agreed.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

It's the world view of rich white men who employ nannies and send their kids to boarding school

Would Angus Taylor ever endorse cuts to constituents Coalition traditionally support ? Concessional tax for high super balances. CGT discounts ? Negative gearing? Fuel tax credits ? Of course not. This is just idiot theatre. #auspol

Minerals Council spread disinformation on climate Also exaggerated and therefore inaccurate claims of how much tax the industry pays And claims royalties come from mining - which is the reverse: their wealth comes from Australia's resources bsky.app/profile/prof... While their tax is small beer

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

The UK was declared measles free in 2017. Vaccine programs completely eliminated it. Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.

The launch of How To Launder Money, written by Cottrell - who was jailed for money laundering - was attended by Farage, Tice, Candy, Cunningham and Brexit Party MEP Daubney. For critics, the symbolism could hardly be clearer: a gathering that feels less ironic than simply taking people for mugs.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

When Labour came to power in 1997, a staggering 283,866 people were waiting 6 months or more for an operation. By 2007 the number was down to 199. Just one astonishing fact I came across while recording this and it's a reminder that government really can change things - for the better.

The coalition/throupolition would need to win 20 seats at the next election to be competitive, 28 to take government. Why is anyone pretending this leadership change will change anything?

BIG NEWS

Yeah, Angus Taylor seems to forget that one of the Bondi terrorists was born in this country, raised in this country, educated in this country - just like the Australian terrorist who committed mass murder in New Zealand, just like Port Arthur murderer, Martin Bryant.

Trump is threatening to block construction of a publicly owned bridge connecting Detroit and Canada, despite supporting the project in his first term. A billionaire who privately owns a competing bridge met with Howard Lutnick just days before Trump announced his opposition. Funny how that works.

This is NOT a controversial assertion. That it appears to be so in Australia is bizarre. But perhaps it’s gaining common acceptance, as the fact of the current gifting away of resources becomes more widely understood.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Very sad to share the news of this legend of Australian political cartooning, and art. Dear Jon Kudelka has died, and we will be the poorer and more dull for his passing. Sending love and condolences to his family. What a legacy of scorching wit and joyful capturing of life he leaves.

In the worst news, the great, the amazing, the wonderful @kudelka.bsky.social has died. A great friend, and an amazing man. This is shattering.

Reform UK’s mid-level governance is an utter disaster. Nevertheless, the media are pushing the idea of them in national government as if it would be any better. All of this happened just this week, yet journalists are obsessed with a fabricated ‘scandal of the century.’

The media are so hacked off with Starmer’s successes because they’re for the people and not the elite. The rich don’t care about your Town or High Streets. They don’t care about your rent or living conditions and definitely not about your job. They don’t want your equality or women safe either.

Let's get this straight. Adani donates $600k the Qld LNP before election. After the election, Qld LNP ends legal action over $400 MILLION in unpaid royalties. Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy. Thread. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

People who make billions out of billions are invariably horrible, vicious, abusive, nasty, bitter human beings who think very highly of themselves and their needs and their pile of money and absolutely nothing of other human beings. If the Epstein scandal has reminded us of anything it is that.

Clive Palmer’s electoral involvement has never been about getting himself elected; it’s been about 1) keeping Labor out of power through disinformation and preferencing, and 2) making the Liberal party beholden to the pro-billionaire far right.
