When Russia’s invasion of Ukraine turbocharged gas prices, Albanese said a windfall tax wasn’t needed because they had a policy solution. It turned out to be electricity bill subsidies (now ceased), to be funded by multinational tax reforms (never implemented). Now the answer is just “no”

what why

the Matildas watching Japan easily dismantle South Korea 4-1. #AFCWAC

I continue to be right, Kerr has been incredible this tournament

The Tillies have somehow, incredibly, gone all the way in this contest. I was heart in mouth the whole time. They’ve won the highest honour possible (losing to Japan)

"War spiralling in the Middle East. A death toll now in the thousands across Iran & Lebanon. Energy prices soaring. The Gulf seized up w/ Iranian strikes. There is, at the heart of it, a simple logic: everything that is unfolding is a result of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians." No pay wall.

Well that’s fucking awful timing

Australia play a China side tonight that’s more tired and missing their best striker but also in better form than the Matildas. I think they’d need to fix the midfield or get very lucky (again) to get through this. #AUSvCHN #WAC2026

What the fuck

Excited to watch the Matildas play China tomorrow night. Can’t wait to find out whose turn it is to get bonked on the head

Rebecca Knaak has been a great defender for Man City but I’ll forever see her as Alanna Kennedy with angry eyebrows

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

I thought the current username was a joke but it keeps happening. we’re living in it

Great result for the Matildas. Pretty nervy, still huge problems in the midfield, got it done somehow against the odds. Sam Kerr’s ability to create a goal out of nothing maybe this nation’s greatest natural resource. #AUSvPRK

PERFECT FINISH FROM SAM KERR!! 😮‍💨

It’s a good plan. Make North Korea worry about Kennedy and take their eye off Sam Kerr #AUSvPRK

#Matildas #AUSvPRK

Alanna Kennedy are you kidding me

Bravery is not the absence of fear

@thefarpostpod.bsky.social what are the tie break rules in this tournament for the group stage?

jesus could you take Raso off please, the second head hit is brutal to watch #IRNvAUS

Won't be long until we regard some of this technology with the affection we have for Tetraethyl Lead.

oo ee oo i am making siren noises oh oh now i'm backwards santa claus

I thought #CHNvBAN was going to be one-sided but this game actually fucken rules #WAC2026

Seconded, I’ve been watching a lot of films this year and The Secret Agent is exceptional

Ooh I don’t think that the camera crew for #KORvIRN are aware that the flags those supporters are waving are not the current flag of Iran #WAC2026

When you gain the admiration of actual fascist supremacists, it may be time for for some self reflection. #auspol #ALP

I know this isn’t the main tragedy of today’s events but my heart goes out to Iran’s women’s soccer team who are in Australia with no way to contact their loved ones back home

If FIFA did, for some reason, regularly give out a Peace Prize, you’d think #1 on the list of criteria for potential winners would be “do not start a war with another nation in the World Cup, directly before the start of the World Cup”

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Houseguest was just explaining to me that putting your hand in the toaster is safer than a knife because your hand doesn't conduct electricity

I’ve been so addicted to this funny little game that I’m terrible at

Tired of people saying Sam Kerr’s not in form because Chelsea haven’t been giving her many minutes. Very clearly a tactical shift from the coach away from relying on true strikers. Kerr has consistently been Chelsea’s top scorer all season despite only getting 20mins per game, how’s that not form?

look at his face after he says difficult. Does that look like the reaction of someone solemnly acknowledging someone's hard life?
