Not even law yet and yet the tax changes are bringing house prices down. Lowering clearance rates = lowering prices. #auspol

The national debt just crossed a once-unthinkable threshold: It now exceeds 100% of America’s GDP. But there's an important piece missing from the conversation about the debt that you should know about. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-no-one-will-tell-you-about-the

Trump has told the same lie about being close to a deal every week of the war, and the market still responds as if this is the first time he’s told this lie.

Trump is now trying to pass the FISA spying act, using his 'assassination attempt' as 'evidence' it is needed. The act will allow the US (and Palantir) to collect unlimited information on any non-US national, anywhere in the world without a warrant OR any reason to do so.

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

Old bone spurs. #trump

How weird that the Federal Government is baulking at levelling a super profit tax on our gas exports in this environment. The best opportunity in decades and the feds are equivocating. What the … ! #auspol #abc730

Soo on point! @cathywilcox.bsky.social #auspol #trump

Lonely heart. Did someone lose their heart? Give their heart away? (On the footpath). ❤️

This is literally one of the most profoundly stupid and ignorant things I've ever seen written about executive level public sector behavioural incentives that I've ever read - from X The Everything App at 1:00am on a Saturday morning, right through to <checks notes> the fucking NACC.

The community independents are “ Some of the smartest people who have ever gone into parliament”. - Malcolm Turnbull at today’s “The New Climate Wars” … and some of them should be on the front bench. #auspol

“It’s a bar brawl over there” Annabel Crabb on the chaos in the Middle East and maybe the rescue of the visiting Iranian female soccer team is a job for that guy who sees himself as a peace prize recipient. #insiders #auspol

Melania Trump presides over UN Security Council !

Trump 2011 “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate.” Trump 2026 “ a short time ago, the US military began major combat operations in Iran” #auspol

So this guy who was arrested today & charged for allegedly planning or preparing for a terrorist act ( inc. throwing Molotov cocktails on the Gold Coast on Australia Day) was doing a PhD on drone navigation and precise landing. #auspol

Imagine having the entire news media, the entire opposition and a bunch of former Olympians attacking you literally non-stop for a month, and the outcome is a poll which matches your 2025 election landslide. #auspol #newspoll

Unfortunately for Malinauskas, the internet remembers. Instagram user beccilove dug out this quote from a few years ago.

Bye bye Adelaide Writers Festival. You were great once.

Would the last writer to withdraw from Adelaide Writers Week please turn off Amanda Vanstone. Thank you.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

So many motivations for the US action in Venezuela are not talked about including access to heavier crude oil which is needed by US refineries and also the threat to US dollar financial domination as Venezuela (& BRICS) are increasingly selling oil in Chinese Yuan. #ABC730

Wondering whether any highly paid CEOs, sports stars or other non-experts now calling for a RC into Bondi said a word when the LNP rejected calls for a Banking RC or a Robodebt RC. 🤔

It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

Psst - Gaza … the elephant in the room.

Thomas Keneally putting into words exactly how I feel. “Attacks such as these are designed to shut up debate; to drive one side to a rancour, & serve to make government more radical, while encouraging acts of radicalism from one’s own side so that the cauldron boils over, stoked from every side.”

Just one of the many lies by distortion told by Frydenberg last night on #abc730 - his insinuation that Jewish schools have armed guards due to a failure by Albo. In fact armed guards were initiated in 2015 - when the LNP was in power & Frydenberg was Asst Treasurer. #auspol

Irrelevant, side-lined man with ambitions far greater than his abilities sees mass-murder as a golden opportunity to re-establish his profile through faux apoplexy and dishonest drum-beating. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It is shocking Josh Frydenberg is trying to restart his political career off the back of this nightmarish terrorist attack in Bondi. #ABC730

Disgusting that Frydenburg is saying that the PM is personally responsible for #bondi As he always was, Frydenburg is 100% divisional politics. #abc730 #auspol

I would rather listen to this ex-PM than those politicising #bondi like John Howard. #abc730
