This has killed Jane Humes ambitions of a diplomatic post 😂
Shows the contempt and disdain the Tory Liberals have for the bush.

“Qld LNP government decides to increase power prices over the next decade to protect stranded assets of its coal owning donors”.

Doug. Glad you’re back on Blue Sky. Im in Oz but won’t make it to Tas.

Absolutely wild. Israel targeted and massacred 31 journalists and media staff in Yemen. The second-deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded. The Israeli regime is built on war crimes.

I 100% agree with this comment.

MSM commentators are blaming social media for the emergence of the far Right. Blaming social media is a diversion from the real culprit Neo liberalism. Neo liberal policies have for 40+ years hollowed out government services reduced government support for marginalised people and bred billionaires.

This is what we need in #australia #auspol - not effing land clearing

In all the recent kerfuffles over whether the coalition should split or not, there was no discussion of what impact the / parties contesting Nat seats would have. Assuming Labor would preference Libs it’s likely that the Nats would lose seats wholesale. A great result for Australia.

Every time the Liberals bleat about the deficit Labor should respond by proposing the abolition of the FTCS and save $15 b.

I’m sticking to my prediction that once the necessary Stadium enabling legislation is passed the Tasmanian parliament, Willie will become premier following some manufactured pretext which obtains support from the Greens and 4 independents.

This is a furphy in that “it aint never gona happen”. It’s simply part of the western hand wringing

'The automated penalties are applied in Australia with almost no discretion for individual cases despite legislated requirements and in complete contrast to the other nations’ high levels of human intervention.'

Can Australia’s electricity market finally be truly efficient for consumers? The energy transition offers a rare opportunity to retrofit markets for genuine efficiency: more competition, greater transparency, ad real consumer choice.

Australia’s biggest gas advocates are quietly swapping out peaking gas plans for big batteries Big batteries are displacing plans for peaking gas generators, even those that are fully permitted, because they’re cheaper and faster to build.

Pro-Israel group lobbied La Trobe and Bendigo Writers Festival over Palestinian academic's institution A leaked letter reveals pressure from a pro-Israel group in the lead up to the Festival

And there you have it.

A leaked letter shows an astro-turf, pro-Israel group pressured Bendigo Writers Festival + LaTrobe uni.

The group claimed the inclusion of a Palestinian author was "antisemitic" and that organisers should "implement immediate measures".

Seems the GOP is now a party of pedophiles and rapists

Tasmanian Greens withhold support 'at this stage' for Labor's bid to form government Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff announces the party cannot lend its support to Tasmanian Labor's bid to form minority government "at this stage".

Whether the Greens vote against the motion of no confidence or abstain is of no consequence because Liberal plus shooters is 15 votes enough for Libs to survive www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Maybe the Greens will sit out the motion of no confidence which would mean it fails in the hope that Labor might change leader. Mr Lennon’s poodle is the problem.

Never mind pedophiles, Jeffrey Epstein etc. Netinyahu having killed 60000 Palestinian children is by far the worlds worst abuser of children.
