Santos Limited has racked up its tenth straight year of paying ZERO corporate tax, despite posting $48 billion in sales. We need a new export levy so these energy giants pay their fair share.

I thought it was illegal to ship freight (i.e. unaccompanied baggage) on passenger flights.

There is no good justification for our Mutual Obligations scheme.

Successive reviews have determined that the systems underpinning it can't be trusted to make good decisions.

Participants continually call out its punitive, abusive nature.

Way past time to end it.

Karoline Leavitt should be a worthy candidate for excommunication. I too had a Catholic schooling, but don't recognise the values displayed by Donald Trump's number one professional liar.

Damn. This is amazing. ยฃ325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Republicans posting fake news again. So much to do and so little time to do it convincingly.

Four Corners: So, obviously, the Australian political duopoly leadership is as corrupt af, which would be why they cooperated to block action on gambling regulation (aot), which would be why they ganged up to neuter the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

Don't reckon? Naive, aren't we.

Yes. Quite overtly so, according to several sources on the net.

Seriously, "leftie" journos in that room, where. the . fuck. are. you? It might be time to put ethics and morality ahead of your career prospects. This is a holocaust and a fascistic assault on democracy in the West. And you're just gonna sit there quietly? Go fuck yourself.
