The gap between the HAVES and HAVE NOTS is widening further

The HAVE NOTS are being told by the HAVES that it's the fault of the other HAVE NOTS...but is it really?

Don't let democracy die for a lie

Are the buoys connected to the framework via a pulley system? Could that be also generating energy, or at least gathering wave data or something?

I just saw this on earth null school showing the wind patterns coming 😰
Screenshot from https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=137.48,-28.46,1071 Looks like a major front coming across Australia, currently just west of Adelaide and spanning right up through the centre of the continent

FOR A BALLROOM

Is that going to help everyday Americans with their living expenses? Or for entertainment for the elites...

If I was Kevin I would be wearing it as a badge of honour. Trump only likes sycophants, so Rudd has shown he isn't a pushover

Sussan sounds like she wants a groveller to represent us!

Australians pay 4 times more in HECS repayments than the gas industry pays in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax!

Australia Institute analysis shows replacing the PRRT with a flat 25% tax on gas exports, as suggested by the ACTU, would raise over $17 billion a year.

Who cares what the US President thinks about Australia. Have you heard what he thinks about women?

Sussan Ley has lashed out at Kevin Rudd saying now that it’s clear that US President Trump doesn’t like him, she wants him immediately sacked.

How about taking Australia’s side for once in your life Sussan? Inexcusable, unelectable. #auspol

🚨 Another massive AWS outage just took down Roblox, Fortnite, Coinbase, Snapchat, and all Supercell games.

Half the internet has gone dark because of one Big Tech company. This is not innovation, it is monopoly risk.

💡It’s time to choose alternatives.

Proposed changes to Australia’s Freedom of Information (FOI) laws would make a repeat of the Robodebt coverup more likely according to new Australia Institute research.

Anthony Albanese is heading to the White House to meet Donald Trump. Here’s what he hopes to talk about
While the PM’s trip will be short, his agenda is long, as Australia sweats on US reassurances on tariffs, trade and Aukus

At least Peter Hartcher is stating it up front that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in democracy. It’s time our media and our government started acting accordingly. #insiders

It's at the playground and picnic area of the lovely state park 'Wattle Park' which is in Melbourne's East. The number 70 tram goes past the north boundary of the park. They've recently updated everything including a walking track around the park

The Australian Government makes more money from HECS repayments than it does from the PRRT.

It’s hard to believe federal politicians think it’s fine to be members of a registered lobbying organisation sponsored by the peak body for gambling.

They’re like frogs in hot water.

I’ll be reintroducing my Clean Up Politics Act on our first day back.
