Seems like the #Catholic church sends Oz taxpayer money back to Rome... the Australian financial crime watchdog AUSTRAC reported $20.6 million was transferred from Australia to the Vatican. The funds were for unknown purposes, and Australian bishops have denied the transactions. #auspol

Int. law expert Chris Sidoti says those coming to Australia who served in the IDF & had “any involvement in the war in Gaza” should be treated as a “suspect” “A suspect who should be investigated & if the evidence warrants it, prosecuted & if a court is satisfied, convicted!”💯 #NPC

Why hasn’t this cult been shut down? Listen to threats a snr member of Plymouth Brethren Christian Church made to a fmr member who had crossed him “Do u want to go to hell?” “You’re a stupid, dumb, naive idiot!” “You’ll end up with ppl like Pilate in a lake of fire!” #4corners

Mehreen Faruqi asks Penny Wong why the Israeli ambassador hasn’t been expelled, after he had the gall to deny that Israel is starving the people of Gaza. “Why is he still here?” Penny Wong says the govt disagrees with his comments but for diplomatic reasons, he can stay🙄 #QT

It is an obscenity that this woman sits in judgment over Australians while she defends the perpetrators of this atrocity. Palestinians deliberately starved of food by the Israeli govt while this taxpayer funded, multi-millionaire sits in her govt office telling us what we should think about it.

Tax breaks for huge US-style utes cost Australians over $250m in foregone revenue in 2023. Removing the luxury car tax exemption will not affect most ute drivers, particularly tradies. Instead it targets those buying large luxury vehicles for personal use. australiainstitute.org.au/post/big-ute...

Swedish furniture retailer jumps aboard the balcony solar craze, launching its own range of panel and battery kits in a booming European market and typically save households about 30% on energy bills. Great idea for social housing #auspol onestepoffthegrid-com-au.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/onestepo...

So which party in Australia, or anywhere else, promising to so reduce air pollution, that affects everyone in cities & so contributes to global warming? Cutting car use, speed, increasing public & active transport, & greening compact cities. Hello #auspol? Anyone paying attention to real solutions?
