Of course they’ll act like that. When being selfish and cruel are held up as national values…..

Iran’s 1950’s Mosaddegh govt was progressive, using oil nationalisation to fund social welfare, land reform & secular democracy.
UK & US orchestrated a coup (Ajax) to regain oil control, citing fear of Communist influence & loss of colonial power in the Middle East.
Our war. Oil war.

I wonder if those two women know each other socially. Canberra isn’t that big.

The NACC robodebt report: A heartbreaking work of staggering incompetence Rick Morton wrote the book on robodebt. He delivers a damning verdict on the NACC's long-awaited robodebt report, which exonerated Scott Morrison and Kathryn Campbell.

The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...

What if we just gave people money? The economics of time and freedom The idea that there’s only so much money to go around makes a bastard kind of sense to the poor. If impossible decisions abound in their lives, it must be true of governments, too. Certainly, that’s h...

Capital gains tax discount ‘overwhelmingly’ benefits investors in Australia’s richest electorates, analysis shows Chief executive of Acoss, who commissioned the study says ‘it’s clear this tax break funnels billions into the wealthiest parts of our country’

Did anyone REALLY expect this not to be the case? #auspol I didn't know there was a discount!

Am I the only one who thinks part of these guys well developed psychopathy is linked to the fact that no one will willingly sleep with them?

Trump’s attack on Iran and the plot against your vote Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms.

Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Sigh. ‘Oh no. I never thought it could happen to me’.

Big win against Adani even though it may look small.
Big long fight too save thier sacred life giver. Water.

The Australian govt says its worried about Iranian drone and missile strikes on UAE, and is sending military hardware and personnel.

Yet oddly quiet about Israel's bombing of Beirut and s. Lebanon.

Could it be something to do with Australia's arms deals with UAE?
And the Israel lobby? #auspol

Nathan Cavanaugh Deposition in ACLS-AHA-MLA Lawsuit About the NEH, Part 1 of 6 YouTube video by American Historical Association

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.

Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

Millenarian Fantasies In Lebanon, Israel seems to be following the same logic it deployed in Gaza: emptying out entire areas through what amounts to ethnic cleansing.

South Lebanon is under threat of total ethnic cleansing

Let’s be grown up here. There can be bad players on both sides of a conflict, but Albo and Penny seem to have enmeshed us with one of them.
We could always sit down and STFU but instead we OFFERED HELP.

🤦‍♀️

Poor fvcking Ukraine. This is where being friends with the US and Israel gets you.

Oh yes. Absolutely. I think I heard Michalea Cash actually say that the government moved too fast and without a plan unironically in response to a journalist who was obviously in on the joke - because no one said ‘Hang on ….’

Richardson's exit reinforces questions about royal commission As soon as the royal commission was announced, Dennis Richardson must have known his situation was going to be tricky.

I now read that Albo was pushed into instituting an RC into antisemitism by political and ‘public’ pressure in both the Guardian and the abc.

Was it ‘public’ pressure or media pressure?

How come more of us seem to have a better idea of the risks than our actual government?

Poor Lebanon.

Israel attacks central Beirut in escalation of deadly assault on Lebanon Israel targets centre of Lebanese capital in escalation of military campaign that has killed nearly 700 people.

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America? The AI surveillance state is real — and it's being built by Palantir.

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America.

The minister of defense said "Legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas."

Saying out loud the sexual assault of Palestinians is legal

Anything can be art. It should be honest about its origins and who it stole from though.

See how much people in your area are gaining from housing tax breaks The Albanese government is mulling property tax changes. Two new reports show the scale of property tax breaks and who gets them.

“It was clear that the CGT concession funnelled billions of dollars every year into the wealthiest parts of the country.” Wentworth alone got $1.75B in property investment tax breaks. They don’t need it. The money should be going to public housing #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

I hope no one ever sleeps with them. Ever.
