While the new 5% house deposit policy sounds great, it's actually going to push soaring house prices even higher.

Democratic Governors Have the Legal Authority to Arrest ICE Agents. They Should Use It. Even failed prosecutions would force federal agents to think twice before breaking down doors.

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Trump is a monster holding the world to ransom.

Trump is conducting a coup d’état on the American people and American democracy, and intends to take the world to war.

A dangerous moment in time right now. #auspol.

The Albanese Labor Australia government has flogged and abused the phrase “deeply concerned”.

The non-actions of Labor government on big critical issues it’s legacy. “Deeply concerning”. @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social

Your reminder that it turned out this guy (@albomp.bsky.social) is a complete and utter fraud with nothing but self-interest and a lust for power in his heart.

Handing Trump a stake in Australian mining companies would be a disaster — and may be illegal as well The Albanese government's desire to hand control of Australian critical minerals to other countries is a huge strategic risk, not to mention completely inconsistent with our foreign investment policy.

The return of Donald Trump didn’t give the Albanese government pause. He has only doubled down on Operation Indispensable. In particular, he has been keen to offer the US a China-free critical minerals supply chain.

The number of large companies paying no tax in Australia has declined, says ATO The proportion of large companies in Australia that paid no tax in the most recent income year has declined from 36 per cent to 28 per cent over the past 11 years.

Just imagine a world observing that 36% of companies bringing in over $100m a year pay no tax, and seeing it reduce to 28%, and thinking that’s a huge win. Both figures are shameful. Here’s the aim: 0%.

All. Profitable. Companies. Should. Pay. Tax.

Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, dies aged 91 Jane Goodall Institute says ‘tireless advocate’ for natural world died in California during US speaking tour

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know.

Always remember - gas companies hate selling gas to Australians and none of the proposals for new gas fields (which are not needed) will be for domestic use.

So do not buy any of the spin.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
