Australian governments are meant to represent the interests of Australians, not multinational gas corporations.

Australians are tired of rampant gas exports driving up their power bills.

The United States is a joke of a country. How many 'shared values' does Australia actually have with it? With Donald Trump's America showing zero commitment to democracy, the rule of law, human rights or free trade, is it time to admit things have changed?

How many shared values do Australians have with Donald Trump and MAGA Republicanism? Virtually none — despite what shills for the US defence alliance insist, writes Bernard Keane.

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Nope.

Adding an S to her name is as punk as joining the LNP. Nothing says smash the state like extra letters and right wing conservative politics.

Incompetence and corruption were hallmarks of Morrison's government.

Turnbull knee capped it for Abbott. Bit rich of him to comment on its state when he was the architect of its demise.

Heard the NPC speech today. With her 100%

Smug, nasty, falsely superior, and, woah, the audacious hypocrisy.

I listened to Hanna Ferguson at the NPC today. Pretty much everything she said.

The horse race style of reporting and poll saturation. Needs to be more focused on policy analysis. We don't care who is winning until the votes are counted.

Philanthropist?

The spamming of unsolicited, unstoppable garbage from these idiots should be illegal.

Voters deserve better than spam texts and misinformation.

I've long called for truth in political advertising laws and a ban on unsolicited political messages. It's time our electoral laws caught up with community expectations.

New report: Peter Dutton's nuclear power plan to cost $4.3 trillion - Michael West Peter Dutton's nuclear power plan would cost more than $4.3 trillion, says a new report, way above the Coalition's touted $331B

Coalition's big fudge on nuclear power.

Dutton says cost $331B, Labor says $600B, but leading energy analyst @timbuckleywx.bsky.social estimates $4.3 trillion!

They don't know how to follow the cards either.

Isn't it a criminal act? But if it was just a bad joke, I guess that will slide.

Early mark all my life. Gen X NSW. Still hear it.

Today, in the Australian and the Canberra Times newspapers:

Big Gas is taking the piss.

They export 80% of our gas then tell us there's a shortage.

Kinzinger: Donald Trump threatens our allies because he's small, he's scared, he's a coward. And you can threaten your friends because you know you're not going to start a war over it, and it makes you look really tough

Did we just witness the USA becoming part of the new Soviet Union?

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it:
Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin.
How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?
