Commonwealth Ombudsman already smashed them and now not even govt's chosen auditing firm can say if the house of cards system of punitive mutual obligations is legal. Quite literally, they say, it is indefensible. Yet it persists. Even after Robodebt. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic...

On this day 50 years ago, Gough Whitlam and Vincent Lingiari made history. In returning land to the Gurindji people, it marked the first time an Australian Prime Minister acknowledged Aboriginal land rights.

La Trobe went to ground as soon as this blew up, haven’t done one interview (not for lack of trying let me tell you) and left it to Bendigo Council staff to clean up their mess. At least council put someone up, in the first interview in this broadcast. Have a listen 👇 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Governor Newsom declares today “A SUCCESSFUL LIBERATION DAY!”

Stunning! A pigeon doing backflips.

From taunting police, escaping prison and commanding political pressure for an early release, charm and intelligence was the secret to Queensland's "elite" bushranger.

When Trump doesn’t like the message, he shoots the messenger and replaces the messenger with someone who will come up with messages that he approves. So we’re left without credible sources of information about what is really occurring. [Cartoon by Nick Anderson]

Now this is sensible reform the ALP should embrace…. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

I imagine the politicians he was protesting against wouldn't have approved

George Razay has been elected in Bass, just narrowly outpolling the second and third Labor candidates. Jess Greene wins the seventh seat, with Geoff Lyons missing out by a few hundred votes. Final seat count: -14 Liberal -10 Labor -5 Greens -1 Shooters -5 Independents

#politas election finished Lib 14 (=) ALP 10 (=) Grn 5 (=) IND 5 (+2) SF+F 1 (+1) (numbers compared to 2024 election, one MP elected as JLN at that election recontested as IND, 2 as Nat)

It was all smiles & photo-ops on Tuesday as David Crisafulli boasted he'd fixed Qld Police wages & conditions. Now QPU President Shane Prior is copping it from members for agreeing to the dud deal & the premier has vanished leaving the president to deal with officers. #qldpol

#Lyons count over. Elected: 6 Mark Shelton (Lib) 7 Carlo Di Falco (SF+F) First ever Shooters Fishers and Farmers MP in Tasmanian parliament #politas

This is brutal Queensland politics meeting Qld journalism. No one is taking a backward step here. The journalists have a whiff of corruption and they're in Russ Hinze's face. #qldpol

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Rupert Murdoch – arguably Donald Trump’s greatest enabler – is suddenly the surprise darling of social media, writes John Hewson. “I’m tempted to wonder, is this the ageing mogul’s come-to-God moment? http://satpa.pe/EjuVFL5

"We can’t trick voters into thinking we care about the climate," says Matt Canavan, while single-handedly reminding every teal voter why they left.

Remember that odd story before the election about a neurosurgeon tearing down Monique Ryan’s campaign corflute, talking about burying the body under concrete? I decided to investigate. Turns out that behaviour did not exist in a vacuum. Watch #4Corners 8.30pm, ABC TV. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...
