Funny that. John Kehoe happy to mention that the taxpayer is picking up the tab for the solar battery subsidy while not making the same point when the topic was negative gearing or CGT - where the taxpayer also picks up the subsidy. 🙄 #insiders

I really hope the new news director at ABC takes a good look at #Insiders. David Speers’ interview style is awful. It’s a politics show where he stops guests from making political points. 🙄

Having Alan Kohler on #insiders is making Phil Coorey, Samantha Maiden and David Speers quite uncomfortable. Alan is a knowledgeable person pushing back against the panel’s usual shallow focus on politics. Go Alan. You love to see it.

Watched riot women on SBS . Outstanding

Every fucking question so far by @fergusonnews.bsky.social is about politics not policy. Maybe she should do a story on the number of adult children who still live with their parents. Or the growing number of homeless people. But she’ll probably choose to interview a housing investor instead.

The Whitlams with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra. Magic.

All right, pick your marble and... Let's roll. 🎱 #marblerun #fun #race

Hard relate

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

Just in case you're wondering why the gas industry hates the idea of a 25% gas export tax and wants to keep the PRRT

Hey @albomp.bsky.social… why not ditch AUKUS and enjoy the same rapturous applause. @australianlabor.bsky.social

This is precisely where David Shoebridge is headed

Idea for the budget @jimchalmers.bsky.social

We need to be more like Spain

holy shit

I love this mosaic that I saw in Egypt. It’s like the angel is about to slap the sleeping old white man. I bet he deserved it.

Yet another amazing Australian to be super proud of 🇦🇺 #Straya

i can’t stop laughing

Next time you hear someone ask how will the govt pay for <insert new spending on services> just remember right now the richest 10% get $27.5bn in tax breaks on just super, and negative gearing and the capital gains discount on housing www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Hahahaha the Bald Archies are priceless #auspol

If the cap fits. My @smh @theage cartoon.

@chrisminnsmp.bsky.social is gutless. I just tried to call both his ministerial office and his electorate office. Both have voicemail activated so you can’t provide direct feedback on what a shit NSW Premier he has become. Quintessential cowardice from the right faction of the Labor Party. #Shame

Doesn’t help any of us that a ‘Sky News guy’ is currently president of the National Press Club. So much for being “an impassioned personal champion of media freedom” 🙄 #SkyNewsSucks

Here's @instanterudite.bsky.social . "Why is a Labor Premier silencing a writer?" (In case you're only familiar with her work on The Shot, Jo used to run the AWW.)

Australians: we don't like guns. This is excellent.

Are runny egg yolks a scourge on our nation? #Tathra

Put it down. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today have probably never heard of.

I wouldn’t overlook the influence that a Sky News journalist has as President of the #NPC

Oh my god lol This Dutch late night host absolutely eviscerates Trump and Disney- you gotta watch how

truly. it only takes one piece of misinfo being in a highranking search result for it to then ripple into every future article on topic. nearly irreversible at that point😭

The huge difference I notice between Twitter and #BlueSky is the massive amount of Trump/US posts that I get in my feed. I live in Australia and on Twitter I’d mostly get Aussie content. Not sure whether it’s my settings, the algorithm or the bias of the platform? @bsky.app @askbluesky.bsky.social

I miss ‘The World Today’ on ABC radio being an hour long. And I especially miss Eleanor Hall hosting the program 😔. I’m not normally one for looking back but they truly were the good ‘ol days. #ABCradio @abcnewsbot.bsky.social

Just remembered this vid I took in 2021 of my cat doomscrolling. She’s off Twitter now 😅 #catsofbluesky #pandemicpet

I bought a small bunch of cut flowers from the Capital Region farmers Market just over a fortnight ago. Three roses are still going. What absolute troopers 😍 #roses #bloomscrolling #Canberra

“the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker is a mensch.

There's a lot of fearmongering about a potential modest change to super tax concessions. As Greg explains, the changes would only marginally affect the very wealthiest; those with over $3m in super, less than 1% of all Australians. It's a good idea. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

People reacting to the She Matters mural in Hosier Lane, Melbourne. The mural contains the names & faces of 128 Australian women killed since Jan 1, 2024 This is the work of Sherele Moody of #FemicideWatch Donate: australianfemicidewatch.org/support/ Shop: australianfemicidewatch.org/shop-2/

I therefore feel behooved to share this. Let the satire & meme games begin.....👇 I give you Angus Taylor Swift....
