Trump puts tariffs of at least 10pc on imports, including from Australia The US will place tariffs of at least 10 per cent on foreign imports from Saturday, after President Donald Trump finally unveiled his long-awaited "liberation day" trade policy.

Trump is now waging economic war on Aus & Albanese and Dutton still want to give the US $368 billion for imaginary nuclear attack submarines. In just the next 4 years alone Aus will give Trump $18b. Why on earth would Trump back down in that context? Cancel AUKUS now. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

While millions struggle with rents and mortgages, the Commonwealth Bank has just recorded a massive $5 billion *half year* profit - up 7%.

The Greens are not going to apologise for fighting to make these massive banks pay more tax to fund public housing and dental into Medicare

I guess handing over $368 billion for submarines that will probably never arrive, signing up to whatever the hell US foreign policy is, and sucking up doesn't work.

I reckon it's time we start acting like an independent country, not a vassal state of America.

First Nations people make up 3% of Aus's population but 28% of people accessing homelessness services.

What sort of housing system is it that sees First Nations people homeless on their own land?

It's well past time to end the chronic underfunding of First Nations housing.

Rather than billions for property investors, the government should be investing in directly building hundreds of thousands of good quality homes and renting them to people who need them at prices they can actually afford. greens.org.au/campaigns/pu...

Thousands of pensioners and retirees are one rent increase away from homelessness, and many more are already having to make impossible choices between skipping meals or paying the rent.

In the long-term, home ownership will keep declining until the government winds back negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount. An entire generation faces economic destitution unless the government stops dishing out tax handouts to property investors with multiple homes

In the short term we won’t solve this crisis without limits on rent increases. Right now landlords can put up the rent by however much they like and that needs to change immediately.

Retirees who rent ‘really struggling’ financially, researchers say – and the problem is getting worse Two-thirds of retirees in private rentals live in poverty, Grattan report finds, with more than half reporting net worth of less than $25,000

Two thirds of retirees who rent privately live in poverty in Australia and its only getting worse.

In this wealthy country, nobody should have to retire into poverty just because they don't own a home.

Australia is at risk of going down the same path of destructive, Trump-style US political division. Labor should know that staying silent will only embolden people like Dutton.

Gaza is in rubble because Israel has carried out a genocide. During that time Australia continued to engage in two way arms trade with Israel and refused to sanction them despite clear evidence of war crimes. The least we can do now is oppose Trump’s proposal for ethnic cleansing

The Australian Government should be supporting Palestinians in their hour of need and being clear that we oppose any threats to their future existence. Instead the LNP are cosying up to Trump while Labor hides.

Trump’s threat to ‘take over’ Gaza and force out all Palestinians is ethnic cleansing, incomprehensible and beyond wrong.

That it’s been almost three days and Australia can’t even bring itself to say so is moral cowardice.

Albanese ‘spooked’ into ditching national environment watchdog – for a second time, critics say Labor’s own environment action network laments delay of EPA legislation, stating ‘terrible loss’ would allow illegal logging to continue

Big mining corporations run the government.

Once again, the PM has caved to the mining industry and broken his election promise on environment.

Instead of doing the right thing by the environment, Labor choose their mining donor mates again and again.
