"with Angus Taylor's rise to leadership of the federal Liberals, the party's new-look front bench has seen a number of former think tank staff from the Atlas Network ecosystem win important portfolios." Liberals are now the political arm of #AtlasNetwork. More🎯analysis by Gareth Hutchens. #auspol

Gah! Old school friend mindlessly sending around a pace of Islamophobic rage-bait recorded by Channel 9.

More details in Lisa Cox's report Watt says he "used an existing national interest provision" in the EPBC laws @biodivcouncil.bsky.social says, it "appears to be the first time that a commercial activity has been given an exemption on economic grounds since the commencement of the Act in 2000"

🧵Note #Auspol.
