In 2010, the Aus and QLD governments allowed a handful of multinational gas giants to begin massive exports of our gas — a decision that's making Australians poorer today.

‘Our gas prices tripled, then tripled again...electricity prices doubled as well.’

Compared to the total population, a far greater number of Indigenous Australians die in custody 😨Living standards above the poverty line are demonstrated to be more effective in reducing (all) crime but our governments consistently choose incarceration. Why?

Israel is untrustworthy & seldom enters or completes negotiations in good faith.

“Palestinians gathered in the West Bank to reunite with loved ones set to be released as part of the prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas. But many were devastated to learn that Israel had deported them instead.”

Adam Morton: “Queensland is Australia’s top polluter – even worse than Western Australia, which has no climate target and adores its fossil fuel industry.”

“QLD treasurer and energy minister, David Janetzki, confirmed Qld government plans to repeal the former state Labor government’s target of 80% of the electricity coming from renewable energy by 2035. That target included now abandoned commitment to shut state-owned coal power plants by that date.”

Lunch time. I could buy this lunch for 40,000 people for the cost of this report nobody has written nor read, commissioned and then buried in the desperate thrashing of a department bargaining with the reality of what they've done to hundreds of thousands of welfare recipients.

I am holding up a banh mi sandwich in front of the sign outside one of Deloitte's offices in Sydney.

It as clear from the outset that it was going to be extremely difficult if not impossible for Hamas (or anyone) to find, let alone retrieve, all the dead hostages from under the tons of rubble which resulted directly from the excessive level of devastation waged on Gaza by the IDF.

Editorial: A decade ago, it would have been unthinkable for a man who led the country to go and shill for a foreign military. Decency and clearance would have restrained it. AUKUS is less a security partnership and more a one-man superannuation scheme. satpa.pe/2kRfq9r

The one-man super scheme

Of all the things Scott Morrison does not understand, and the list is long and often embarrassing, somewhat in the shape of his prime ministership, China would rate very close to the top.
