Guardian Aus headline: Terrorism charge laid over alleged attempted bombing at Invasion Day rally in Perth WA Premier Roger Cook says police allege the act was motivated by a 'hateful, racist ideology' ABC News headline: Invasion Day bomb declared terror act, as accused's 'pro-white ideology' probed

Word choice matters. It shapes perception. I notice the Guardian Aus headline refers to "hateful, racist ideology". Yet ABC News reports it as "pro-white ideology". 🤔 #InvasionDay #BombAttack #Terrorism #racism #auspol

Capital gains tax discount to cost Australia $250bn over next decade with retirees and high-income earners to benefit most Parliamentary Budget Office figures show top 1% of taxpayers will receive nearly 60% of the benefit this financial year

Rid us of negative gearing, capital gains tax discount, force the wealthy to pay their fair share of tax, cut the corporate handouts aka 'business welfare' (this also applies to Mr 'JobKeeper' Gerry Harvey). #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Finally the Invasion Day Bomber has been declared a terrorist.

It’s past time for authorities to explain his ideology. Hiding this is not in the interest of protecting his safety.

Trump, ICE set to be handed access to Australians' biometric data, ID documents

Exclusive | The Albanese government is handing access to Australians’ biometric data and ID documents to US agencies like ICE, and not telling anyone. @keanebernard.bsky.social reports.

Submarines were the cover for the establishment of military bases. Need to demand their removal as they could be a hostile force against Australians.

AUKUS is a toxic package, not just hundreds of billions to maybe get a handful of US nuclear subs, it’s expanding US bases here, taking the nuclear waste AND going to war with China whenever the US demands it. Paying to surrender sovereignty and join the next US war! End AUKUS.

Breaking: Invasion Day rally attempted bombing declared terrorist act The attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally in Perth's CBD last week is declared a terrorist attack by authorities.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

US congressional report explores option of not delivering any Aukus nuclear submarines to Australia Report offers alternative of the US navy retaining boats and operating them out of Australian bases

@albomp.bsky.social, this is your opportunity to “renegotiate” AUKUS and get us out of it.

It’s what Australians want, we want out of AUKUS.

Isaac Herzog is accused of inciting genocide in Gaza. He shouldn’t be welcomed to Australia | Chris Sidoti Anthony Albanese should recognise he made a terrible mistake in inviting the Israeli president to Australia and put a stop to this divisive political visit

"The (UN) commission of inquiry has found that Herzog has incited genocide... Someone who incites genocide does not satisfy the good character test for entering Australia. On the contrary, a person who incites genocide should be arrested on arrival and tried under Australian and international law."

Anti-corruption boss given 'please explain' by government over Defence ties Attorney-General Michelle Rowland asked Paul Brereton to explain why his ongoing ties to Defence had not been "adequately" disclosed in a letter sent last year.

Great reporting here, but it’s absurd that we’re learning about this 4 months later.
The NACC and its related parties are spending $millions - and years - investigating themselves and their failures.
Still zero major corruption findings tho 💩

Sturt's desert pea Meaning: Have courage, take heart Swainsona formosa | Inland Australia Malukuru (Pit.) are famous for distinctive blood-red, leaf-like flowers, each with a bulbous black centre, similar to a kangaroo's eye. A striking sight in the wild: a blazing sea of red. Bird-pollinated and thrives in arid areas, but very sensitive to any root disturbance, which makes it difficult to propagate.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Deliberately.

Good to know although I doubt it makes much difference under the current regime. And I’d still prefer the sites to be Australian owned, and not even leased to foreign powers of any sort despite the defence arguments.

Defence to sell prime Perth riverside land to help pay for AUKUS The Department of Defence announces plans to sell off both Leeuwin and Irwin barracks, freeing up dozens of hectares of residential land in prime Perth suburbs.

I guess they’ll be sold to the US. Do many US bases along WA coast already. Sack of beans? #auspol

Thank you Professor Lyon.
One man, huge task. But he can do this.

it's pretty fucked trying to figure out who random people in donations data are now without the detailed PDFs the AEC used to publish. like "Firstname Lastname" is now all you get for some of them

lotta rich people screaming about government spending. Easy solution, Ted. Stop giving billions of our dollars to expensive schools, franking boomers, and landlords. Nothing more inflationary than free money for the rich who produce nothing but speculation and bubbles.
