Oh er......not sure I should read this.....

IMHO, the programme was designed to reduce consumption of coal sourced electricity. It was not designed to achieve income redistribution. But it should have been.

Alien vs. Predator

Imagine this was a Jewish person who wasn't left-wing or pro-Palestinian.

Support for Israel in the United States continues to weaken — both among all young voters and especially in Democratic circles and even amongst Jewish Americans. Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to reduce Israeli dependence on US military aid to zero within 10 years - is that realistic?

Demands to surrender and disarm, are not a "peace plan".

No surprises here.

Using a 1930s trade law, Homeland Security targeted the man—who hasn’t entered the US in more than a decade—following posts on X condemning the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Texas pasta. Yup.

The pair was abducted by Israeli forces from the aid flotilla in late April and held in Israel.

Luna? Tick

The U.S. counterterrorism strategy, detailed in a memo released Tuesday, identifies three main terror threats, including narco-terrorists, legacy Islamist terrorists and violent left-wing extremists, but makes no mention of right-wing extremist groups. https://to.pbs.org/4uGEq5u

Outlaw state. Everyone needs to heed the warning,: there are no rules when dealing with this regime.

Stalin would absolutely approve.

This is a new definition: a defensive pre-emptive attack during a cease fire. This is even more treacherous than Pearl Harbour, IMHO.

"While the national mood seems to be veering away from President Donald Trump as his popularity drops, Republicans are trying to squeeze every possible advantage out of a recent Supreme Court decision," writes Zachary B. Wolf | Analysis https://cnn.it/3R6tGP9

Tosh on stilts.

I'm reading a book and really enjoying it. I already knew almost all the words but they're arranged in an order I've never seen before.

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... So....why would ICAC not advise the Electoral Commission of the serious allegations? Smells VERY suss.

Delivering DIY crystal goblet kit.

STILL not a peep from the Albanese Gov't objecting to Israeli piracy and torture of civilians on the aid flotilla.

Plus a higher literacy rate and a better public health system than its westerly neighbour.

To be fair, there at least is objective evidence to be considered. Not just a wish to have a supernatural being to blame for everything.

Good. The alternative is to allow the defence:" The car did it. Not me. Pity about the kid/pram/dog (insert killed entity here).

Kyle Rittenhouse was bitten by a Brown Recluse today. Sure hope the spider is OK. Welcome to the resistance my Arachnid friend. 💀

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... Homeless AND stateless..FFS. This country has been gutted.

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... This country's successive governments have gutted our moral courage in the name of appeasing xenophobes and racists

Should have moved to Monaco the moment he got the dough.

What a government: 5 $50 billion plus for attack submarines on loan from the US, with all funds going offshore,but won't do a $45b rail infrastructure project where the funds stay in Australia, to be reclaimed as tax.

youtu.be/HnDeR-dniwE?... A thoughtful, calm view of how compromised Oz is by this gov't slave-like obesience to US policies - even where those policies represent a real threat to Aust's national interests. Indonensia now controls the ocean trade route between Oz and Asia. Great. Not.

No idea who this is. Should I care?

Fat Cat Salaries: They’re supposed to be there for service, not profit, yet most of our federal departmental secretaries get paid between $900K and $1M (twice what their US equivalents get paid). 👇HAVE YOUR SAY👇 before 10 June. 1/2 #auspol

Today, we will be getting to the bottom of the rot at the heart of offshore detention. Billions spent to brutalise refugees. It's a toxic system.

When radio became popular, people worried children would sit around listening to it instead of playing outside. The same happened with TV, the internet and smartphones. But none of those stop children playing outside. Only cars do that.

And that's just based on the unredacted documents they've released. There are probably even more.

Picked this up at the library today. 2 chapters in and I LOVE it.

Sitting on a high 6 figure salaries (at least) and cosseted in the Ivory Tower in Martin Place, these people are utterly disconnected from the results of their outmoded economic theories.

I am SO trying not to laugh. The poor passenger didn't deserve that. The rider? Yup.

Talking points on US-Israel strikes on Iran prepared for Albanese and Wong reveal fears over legality questions If one wanted to see the effect of Foreign Influence on Australian government policy and function, look at this pile of moral turpitude. www.crikey.com.au/2026/05/05/d...

youtu.be/sHQm-pLBeMw?... Good god. This really is Dracoian.

UNTIL THEY ARE REQUIRED TO GENERATE THEIW OWN POWER, THEY ARE ALL BEING SUBSIDISED BY "US" SO WE GET A SAY ON WHAT THEY GET FOR FREE OR AT A HEAVY DISCOUNT.

AND THEY DON'T DECLARE PROFITS IN AUSTRALIA DESPITE GROSSING BILLIONS.

European interference being sent to counter Russian interference. Oh for goodness sake. Let the bloody county make up its own mind.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...? An industry predicated and dependent on public funding but which can systematically avoid corporate tax because of appallingly bad tax laws.

I can't believe the closure of the Straits was not foreseen. If so, why provoke it? Maybe the pan is to make the EC dependent on US petroleum and gas? The gas pipeline was maybe just the 1st step?

I'm becoming increasingly of the view that the attacks on Iran are part of a much bigger geo-political plan. Innocents have and will continue to be killed because of decisions by the Epstein Class to get wealth.
