Great to wake up to news of Viktor Orban’s defeat in Hungary! 🎉 This (gift) article points to how it happened. The opposition campaigned hard on the grift, graft & self-enrichment of Orban & his cronies. Big pointer for the US Democratic Party in that? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/w...

A Millennial, a Zoomer, and a Boomer (in spirit) walk into an excellent episode discussing, among other topics, the dire straits (including Hormuz) that this world has been further plunged into, causing more and more suffering.

When I was growing up, I remember my parents scraping together $5 for fuel to make it to work. We couldn't go to friend's houses because we couldn't spare the fuel, and every trip needed to be accounted and planned for. If the petrol price went up, we stayed home. (No public transport) (cont)

Jim Chalmers: Make Gas Giants Pay! getup.to/mzNK7qC1CpyoSJ

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

It’s always been about the oil; the world economy I mean. Well, ever since they figured out how to drain the earth of its riches to embellish their own wealth. All those leaders in love with power and money, who have no connection to nature or humanity. While the wind and sun shone and blew 😞

Australia’s gas resources belong to Australians, not the gas companies. A minimum 25% gas export tax is only fair. It means Australians get a return on the extraction of our resources and we can fund public programs for the benefit of all. 📷 Credit: Mike Bowers #auspol #politas

Just remember - the right wing nut jobs don't care about being hypocrites. It's a major reason why no one (esp the media) should *ever* buy into their statements about how people should act/speak.

Libs’ Ashton Hurn should not be treated as victim this election. Her first vow as leader was to scrap SA’s Indigenous Voice. Let’s not forget it was Libs’ No Campaign which unleashed the politics of hate, grievance and division on Australia. Libs let loose this ugly One Nation beast and it ate them!

CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government. We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... I think if the federal govt was actually willing to tax things like our gas exports, to potentially bring in a windfall profit tax, because we can we know gas exporters, potentially fuel companies, making windfall profits off this war in the Middle East.

Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal-funded disinformation network “Advance” is now attacking one of the nation’s best and most respected journalists, over doing his job and pointing out the bleeding obvious regarding Israel and the US. This is where we are, Australia’s MAGA.

Australians don't want to get dragged into Trump & Netanyahu’s illegal war on Iran. Labor shouldn’t be sending troops to help a military that’s killed 150 schoolchildren in a primary school bombing. To keep civilians safe we should be urging peace, not sending missiles.

Listening to Trump's SOTU address... it's not the roll out of his demented "greatest hits" that's appalling... But the rolling, thunderous applause after every one of his vile utterances and flat- out lies. Feeling for American friends right now. How to come back from this?
