Between '50 and 100 shots' discharged in Sydney shooting, man critical NSW Police say the alleged gunman had been "firing indiscriminately at passing vehicles including police vehicles".

There are more guns in Australia than ever before.

The gun lobby says it is "winning".

Howard-era promises remain unfulfilled and laws being weakened.

Expect more of this.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social, what would The Donald say if an Aus company exported $17 B of American gas and didn't pay any tax?

New government data confirms gas exporters continue to pay no tax

“It beggars belief that a company like Santos can spend a decade selling almost $50 billion worth of gas and not pay a cent of tax on it," said @rodcampbell.bsky.social. #auspol

Big congrats to Santos Ltd!!

10 years. $46.7 billion in sales.

Dan Tehan on #abc730 insists being smashed in a record election landslide defeat is no reason to stop pursuing Nuclear. Uses Dutton’s same debunked theories, claims Renewables don’t provide base load power. Rejects expert advice. Sorry to any Lib diehards but your party is dead.

Int. law expert Chris Sidoti says after ICJ ordered nations to act to prevent Israel’s genocide, govt should’ve conducted review to identify anything that could be aiding Israel

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.

✍️ PETITION: Fix Australia's Gas Export Problem ✍️Sign the petition: Fix Australia's Gas Export Problem

The solution to this is easy:

1/ Stop unrestricted gas exports.

2/ Reduce Australian domestic gas prices with uncontracted gas.

3/ Make gas exporters pay their fair share of taxes and royalties.

4/ Approve no new gas projects.

Here's the ACCC today saying that gas exporters are ripping us off. Again.

"gas being offered & supplied by the exporters to the domestic market has declined over time, while LNG export volumes have increased."

The NT government couldn't be more of a cowboy outfit if it had chaps and a hat.

...or at least in the mining data I was looking at recently, clearly it's in the overall ABS trade stats that Declassified are referencing. Will have a look! Can't believe I missed this.

Thanks, I hadn't seen this and it doesn't come up yet in trade data.

The costs of climate damages are rising and local government revenue isn’t keeping up.

The ACT would be wrong to copy new election finance rules which have been proposed federally and in South Australia.

Our research shows that a “reimbursement” model for public funding, as recommended by the ACT Electoral Commission, would favour wealthy incumbents at the expense of new entrants.

Today we remember 11 September 1973, where Chile’s democratically elected Allende govt. was overthrown in a military coup backed by Washington and facilitated by Australia’s intelligence services.

The result was Pinochet’s dictatorship that killed and tortured thousands.

Huh, thanks, I hadn't seen this. Still looking at that rail and port stuff you sent through, thanks.
