fortunately for the minister's husband, he is too wealthy to be affected by the move to cut centrelink payments for people accused by police of a serious offence before they have appeared before a judge

Is it too soon to point out that the Minister's own partner once committed a crime that in many countries would attract the death penalty

A "serious power" is not an acceptable euphemism for breaching the right to due process.

The list of groups opposing this move is growing, with NATSILS, the Australian Council of Social Services and Economic Justice Australia speaking out today.

Thank you @joshbutler.bsky.social for reporting.

The PM once championed a nuclear weapons ban. What happened? Anthony Albanese and Richard Marles once pledged Labor would sign a treaty to ban nuclear weapons. Why have they walked this back in government?

Australian Labor government must sign & ratify UN Treaty on Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons! No ifs or butts. @ican-australia.bsky.social @publichealthaus.bsky.social #auspol #MedicalAssociationPreventionofWar @paulbongiorno.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social

There’s a global boom in solar—except in the United States The economic case for solar power is stronger than ever.

It's free energy that falls out of the sky but morons have decided it's "Woke".

I remember, during the lockdown period of the current pandemic, when the government doubled the job seeker payment

There just seemed to be this massive *exhalation* from recipients. As if a massive weight had been lifted (temporarily) and they could do more than just _exist_

Cop out? Anthony Albanese wants to host the next global climate summit – so why isn’t he attending this one? The Australian PM’s non-attendance at Cop30 would ‘raise questions’ about his seriousness about co-hosting Cop31 in Adelaide

Listening to Barnaby Joyce in parliament and all I have to say is: people of New England, get yourselves into adult education and start reading books ‘n shit.

They give aid and comfort to the Coalition by negotiating with them rather than consign them to irrelevance, because they want to keep ignoring actual progressives.

There in a position where they might *gain* seats from their absurd majority. You can take a risk or 3, Albo!

He just wanted the job and to hang with the big boys. Useless pretender. But at the same time he is endangering us.

Albanese is lazy, has no policy drive and rather enjoys coasting

Well, to be fair, Albo’s policies on gaslighting are world leading.

That's the trouble, there is no incentive or threat for Labor to do anything. Albanese just spends all his time overseas doing what the Foreign minister should be doing, remember Penny Wong anyone? They have become quite quickly a shit government with no positive vision.

Nothing? You mean steadily moving us towards all that is wrong with the USA. Fairly certain the vote was largely against the stupidity of Morrison and AUKUS yet Albanese is bending over backwards to turn us into their military client state.

What is it with Albo and Starmer in the UK. Why are they so afraid. They could be so progressive and really make a difference.
Am so disappointed

Disgusting Zionist genocidal vulture ghouls ready to descend on Gaza's carcase. A feast prepared for them by the "democratic" governments of Israel, the USA & fellow travellers.
The West Bank is being opened for bids too.
Trump must be salivating.

Why Electric Cars May Soon Become Cheaper Than Gasoline Cars Industry insiders are calling it the EV price collapse—and for the first time, electric cars could soon be cheaper to buy than their gasoline counterparts.

Lithium prices down 60%. Tesla slashing prices. BYD and others flooding the market. EVs are no longer “the future.” They’re the cheaper option. Sorry petrolheads, i guess now you can stop "waiting for the tech to develop" while continually paying for fuel. www.forbes.com/sites/peterl...
