The RBA raised interest rates on Tuesday, seemingly because they decided they were expected to, as Chief Economist Greg Jericho told The Guardian Full Story. And December inflation figures skewed by end-of-year travel gave them the excuse they needed. #auspol @grogsgamut.bsky.social

Did you know #Big4 firms are protected by a law that shields them from damages they cause taxpayers? After repeat scandals, KPMG whistleblower Brendan Lyon has had enough & is taking them to court. It’s coming soon👍 Thank you Professor Lyon. One man, huge task. But he can do this.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

Why has the $30 million not been recovered? If it was someone on the dole owing a fake debt it would have been recovered, even if they died in the process. Isn't that right, scotty from marketing? 'A subsequent deal netted the Obeids around $30 million, which has not been recovered by authorities'

UN special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese condemned Israel’s ban on Doctors Without Borders (MSF) from Gaza, saying “Israel has NO authority to block anyone from entering the Palestinian territory it illegally occupies.”

Re-posting because it's on the $. A real PM would close the US Embassies/Consulates and send the Ambassador home until that creep is removed from office in the US.

Abortion bans in Europe are pushing Polish and Maltese women to seek risky or costly alternatives. The European Union now faces a decision. Will a new solidarity fund guarantee safe access across borders, or will politics block women’s rights again?

Crypto-gambling billionaire Ed Craven is the biggest individual gambling industry donor in the latest round of electoral disclosures — and all of his $315,000 went to the Labor Party.

"Even though the system’s illegality has finally been exposed, the political commitment to bludger-bashing keeps it operating—this ideological thirst for punishment overrides any concern with trivial matters like common sense, evidence, or the law." #auspol thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...
