A nice Treasury chart that shows who benefits from the largest tax concessions in Australia by income quintiles from the Economic Reform Roundtable's Budget sustainability and tax reform paper. Shows why these tax concessions need to be overhauled #auspol

Universities such as mine are making poor decisions, and we’re not allowed to know why UTS has announced a “pause” on enrolments in 100 courses. Vacating these critically important areas diminishes not only the brand of UTS but the state it was designed to benefit.

Aid groups say Israel’s new registration rules are ‘weaponising aid’ Lifesaving goods for starved people in Gaza blocked by vague rules on anti-Israeli activity, say humanitarian bodies

Israel is weaponising aid, targeting trusted humanitarian organisations with restrictive tactics that serve political and military agendas—not human lives.

Anthony Albanese defends Palestinian statehood decision after US criticism Mike Huckabee said the US was taken aback by the Australian government's decision to recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly meeting in September.

Australia's decision to recognise a Palestinian state, alongside Canada, France, and the UK, is going to be a great historic moment. The US should pull its fucking head in. Mike Huckabee wasn't worth listening to when he was running for president and he isn't worth listening to now.

Frontline staff get fired when revenue goes down but executive remuneration stays constant. Very interesting incentive structure.

This whole exchange was insane. I think it's apparent to all involved that Millan was deliberately targeted with an unreasonable level of scrutiny, intended to exert a chilling effect, and only after making public comments about Julie Bishop and Genevieve Bell.

The ANU exec have demonstrated that the organisation cannot be trusted to responsibly manage this investigation.
