'Revolving door' between politics and lobbying rings transparency alarm bell
Lobbying has become big business, with around 727 lobbyists registered in the national capital, more than three times the number of elected officials sitting in parliament.
This is how broken our lobbying laws are.
Every resources minister since 2001 went on to work for fossil fuel companies & 8 ex-ministers & senior advisers now lobby for gambling๐ฐ
It's time for complete reform of lobbying rules + independent watchdog.

The festival has been going for 13 years and not felt the need to police and restrict attendees' language.
Why now?
What is it that's happened recently in the world that's brought this on? ๐ค
Did they think all the speakers would suddenly this year of all years, erupt into paroxysms of racism?

Such a disingenuous, false narrative. Nobody is suggesting this. Nobody except Minns is talking about different groups running protests on the bridge every week. He's trying to create an antagonism to protesting in general with this crap.

Iโm confused: did a memo go out this week saying itโs finally okay for politicians and the press to be outraged that Israel is starving Palestinians?
If so, I didnโt see the memo. But I did see the evidence of this war crime back in late 2023.
Where are we at? Starving is bad, bombing is ok?

Live: Wong says Australia supports US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities
Foreign Minister Penny Wong says the government supports the United States' strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities but says the next steps should be focused on dialogue and diplomacy. Follow live.
Every international legal expert: Israeli and US 'pre-emptive' strikes on Iran are a violation of international law and further undermine the so-called global rules-based order.
Penny Wong: We're fine with that. As long as it's our genocidal allies doing it. #auspol

Trumpโs Fury at Gavin Newsom Backfiresโand Reveals His Own Weakness
The media has it wrong. Trump is not coming across as fearsome and strong. Instead, his watch-me-play-fascist-on-TV routine is self-evident overkill.
Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/

We were never likely to get any submarines, and all the deal does is tie us ever closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America.
