Even better, all that money actually goes to the bank because the rent doesn't quite cover the mortgage. You do get to claim the difference as a tax write off though.

A quick scan seems to add up to effectively being what the voice was supposed to be. With the assumption being that more treaties will follow. If so it gets my thumbs up.

I would be happier about it if I knew what was in it. News reports seem to gloss over that. That's on me I guess. Presumably I can find it with Google.

Good luck with that.

What if she let the coalition split, stuck all the rwnj on the back bench where they all get a massive pay cut and lead with conviction for bit. What's the worst that could happen?

Oh, lead in petrol as well

Fortunately that's highly unlikely. The God botherers have taken over and they have no positive vision.

Not if you consider who is paying them. Mining companies, gambling industry, military etc contribute almost as much to Labor as the coalition.

What are they paying them for? So they don't change anything. That's what they are for - to prevent change that might make life better.

The point is to safely suck up progressive votes without the danger that politics might become progressive.

Oh no you don't. He's your problem now.

I don't understand this joke, but it's a very pleasing image.

Nationals' net zero review has not undertaken economic modelling Nationals Senator Matt Canavan will present parts of his and Ross Cadell's net zero review to the party room when parliament resumes on Monday.

"Sure, there's a role for modelling, but the old saying is also true that if you ask an economist how to open a can of tuna, they'll say: 'Let's assume that we have a can opener'"

What the fuck are you talking about!!? #auspol

Pretty lousy trade in for a motorbike😔

But from his perspective, the Jedi were the bad guys... And he brought balance? to the force. Not to mention a death bed redemption cleared all that up and he became a good force ghost. I love star wars but its morality is all over the shop.

Australian Christian Lobby says any new laws protecting people from cults could be ‘very dangerous’ Lobby groups tell Victorian inquiry legitimate churches could be caught up in any proposed crackdown on coercive practices

The ACL finds it difficult to distinguish between mainstream churches and cults. At last we agree on something. #auspol

Well I'm calling for it now... Probably not loud enough for any one to care. I hate those things.

Interesting thing about non partisan groups. They tend to be made up of the status quo and therefore reinforce it. Then if, for example, one or more political parties get captured by fossil fuel lobbies, it's very hard to get legislation passed that deals with climate change.

I'm not a electoral scholar, but I think the intention was to safeguard against one party having full control of government without any check on their power. See also that the senate only elects half it's members each term. There's also the intention that states have equal representation.

In the house, you are represented by the person the majority of people dislike least. This makes it difficult for extremists to win.

In the senate we recognise that if you only have 16 percent of the vote, that's still a lot of people who deserve a voice.

This has short circuited my doom scrolling brain and I can't thank you enough.

Not Anddrew?

Milowl... Naarm adjacent.

Since I’m already throttled for being a truth teller, screw it.

This is a thread about what people do when the government turns fascist. 🧵 ⬇️

We'll be ok. Thanks for your concern.

How many shares in Tesla do you reckon this "cyber expert" has? #auspol youtu.be/KwjMo4LgFCc?...

Would that include all the escaped methane from mining? Any of the gas we dump on the freeway of the world?

Trump can't even fiddle. Just an awkward dance to YMCA.

Yes

If you are worried about world population, then you should be worried about poverty and empowerment of women. Those are the two things that are proven to keep populations in a cycle of giving children.

Want foreigners to have fewer children? Bring them here and give them a good quality of life.

Sigh. The thing about climate change is it effects the whole planet. You can't just seal a bit off and then claim you're doing your bit.
We need to show that climate action can work and that it can work at scale.
