That was a quick resignation.

Kind of weird how many press gallery types are surprised that spending political capital actually leaves a govt with less of it. That's not a shock. The point is that if you *don't* spend it, it evaporates anyway.

"If you had a $50,000 share portfolio five years ago...then that person would be about $1,000 over five years worse off because of the tax changes." "But also, over those same five years, house prices have been increasing by about $60,000 a year." @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol

He's so close to self-awareness it’s painful. Who wants to tell him which "regime" is actually pushing the propaganda here? 😐

Very good from @lucyham.bsky.social for @theshot.net.au #auspol > theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

wonder what "Something" is

Prominent economist Saul Eslake demolishes LNP’s ‘aspiration’ myth saying their 1999 CGT discount failed to build a nation of entrepreneurs & shareholders, in fact, those rates only fell since 1999, while “disproportionately favouring richer & older Australians”💥 #auspol

WA EPA...adding insult to injury

Why did WA EPA recommend approval of Black Mountain Energy fracking plans when an independent expert scientific comm found BME made a “limited & disjointed assessment” & reached “largely unsupported” conclusions" abt potential impacts to surface water, groundwater & groundwater dependent ecosystems❓

I wonder if when Spanish people visit here, they marvel at & romanticize the highway interchanges, the 4 lane fast boulevards through our cities, the beg buttons.

A cartoon by Cathy Wilcox — depicting Australian media and political figures marching to the beat of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s drum — has breached the Australian Press Council’s standards. We took a look at the council’s history on such rulings. www.crikey.com.au/2026/06/11/a...

It never ceases to amaze how the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism is so regularly absent from the discourse when it comes to Nazis doing actual, hate filled, violent antisemitism. If you can't do your job etc www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...?

Appalling Aust Press Council determination that this cartoon by @cathywilcox.bsky.social is in any way inappropriate. Rather I find the APC, who have long been so woeful when it comes to racist white blokes (Laws, Jones, Sandilands et al) & their adjudication “causes offence, distress & prejudice”

Pretty sure even the worst democratic strategist can’t screw up the gift of “I love the inflation” 😳😳😳

KPMG show us who they are - despite PwC’s masterclass in how not to behave & coverup. Labor has failed to act & this is now on them: to end Big 4 special treatment – on tax, reporting, liability, whistleblowing. Get unethical greed out of govt contracting. Time to break them up.

Labor must end their special treatment — on tax, public reporting, professional liability and whistleblower protections and regulate the Big Four like other large Australian firms. KPMG audits the RBA and runs its hotline. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

So basically just a bunch of whiny racists, wish I was surprised, but this is Straya, one of the most racist nations in the world.

The biggest misconception: Low rates of walking, biking and transit don’t mean people prefer driving, it means cities have been designed for car use at the expense of safe, convenient and practical walking, biking & transit. Via Propel Bikes on FB

This article never actually addresses who Joyce is talking about, which is people who are not visibly white / Caucasian. It also doesn't mention that One Nation is a racist, white nationalist far-right party and that they're saying as part of that agenda

When a journalist finally pushes back on your lies to your face

Pretty drafty space there

The Australian Foreign Minister says she believes these women who were assaulted by Israeli forces. While Penny Wong’s government continues to arm this genocidal rogue state who routinely tortures detainees, her ‘belief’ is the worst sort of tokenism. #auspol

When the cognitive decline hits, anger follows

One of Israel's most important beliefs vis a vis the region today is that it has the innate right, the right, to bomb any of its neighbors as it sees fit as a "preemptive" "defensive" measure. If the Iranians are able to respond to such "measures" vis a vis Beirut, then this right has collapsed.

Greens defence spokesman David Shoebridge says it is "ridiculous" to think Australia's military could defend the nation's global trade lanes, and acquiring nuclear-powered submarines under AUKUS only invites Australia to a conflict between the United States and China.

The CEO of Volvo is on record as saying that if someone invented the car today and tried to get government approval it would fail. A 2 ton box that would probably be used to move only 1 person but collectively they would kill over 3000 people worldwide a day. Puts it into prospective.

Anyone who followed the media over the years could see how far Uhlmann fell away from sanity to a pit of delusion. But even this came as a mild surprise. But then maybe he was always just a white supremacist under all that bluster.

I always knew someone would come after Peter Minack, toiling all those years in a Catholic school while being in TISM. But it was the Zionists who finally got him. TISM should now do a whole lot of Pro Palestine material, just because.

The IPA pretending to understand outer suburban people is one of the most sickening things I have seen this week.

You could replace Pickering with a better undergraduate law student at any law school in Australia. Glib takes with lazy depth of knowledge? Australia has more of this resource than iron ore.

Try these swaps: “environment” → “our health and safety.” “emissions” → “clean air, lower energy bills.” “climate justice” → “who gets left behind.” Same truth. Far better reach. Language is not optional.👇 1/2

Imagine what a different place Tasmania would be if the likes of Boag's, Cascade, Blundstone, Huon Aquaculture, Tassal, etc were cooperatives and not corporations (in most cases now owned by larger multi-national corporations). #politas

The cowardice and reluctance of most of the mainstream media to call out, in clear language, what Pauline Hanson and One Nation stand for, based on their past and current behaviour, is an utter disgrace. We will remember the Fourth Estate's role in this Trumpian, fascist, and racist shitshow.

ABC MD Hugh Marks had clearly been recruiting his new director of news before Justin Stevens even resigned. Job wasn’t advertised, there was no open, merit-based process, and internal staff had no chance to apply. The whole thing stinks.

They can’t point to a single instance of antisemitism by an arts organisation, while there are dozens of cases where official pressure has silenced pro-Palestinian voices. This is pure political intimidation by the govt and its official pro-Israel lobbyist.

“An assault on aspiration” = Rich people should aspire to a tax-subsidised investment portfolio. "Broken promise" = How dare you try to alter the status quo! "Death tax" = Labor better not even THINK about implementing actual inheritance taxes...

It says everything you need to know (none of it good) about the Australian attitude to housing for the last few 25 odd years that THREE WEEKS of data about prices from about 0.25% of our housing stock getting sold or turned over is pored over like a revelation of the gods.
