Oh no, one of Australia's biggest companies doesn't like a proposal that would see Australia's biggest companies pay more tax. What a blow.

Norway taxes their fossil fuel industry and gives their kids free university education.

In Australia, we give more than half of the gas we export away for free, and charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.

The story of how Trump sells access to the White House - to benefit himself and his family financially and to benefit his political operation - is shocking and sordid.

No President has ever monetized access like Trump has.

1/ It's a story you need to know.

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert depicting an obliterated Gazan landscape in the background and a sundial in the foreground. The arm of the dial is depicted as the outline of Gaza. The time markers read "DO SOMETHING", "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH", "INTERVENE NOW", "TIME IS RUNNING OUT" and "TOO LATE". The shadow cast by the sundial arm has past "running out of time" and fast approaching "too late".

Thank you, columnist David Leser (Comment, 1/8) for pointing out that if we are are horrified by the atrocities of the Holocaust we cannot turn a blind eye to the brutality of the Netanyahu retaliation after October 7, 2023.
