There's a huge new gas rig looming over our 12 Apostles
YouTube video by The Australia Institute There's a huge new gas rig looming over our 12 Apostles

A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australiaโ€™s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles.

We donโ€™t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports.

Live: Albanese to announce $10m program to protect Great Barrier Reef Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in Far North Queensland to spruik a new $10 million Reef Educational Experience Fund to protect and promote the Great Barrier Reef. Follow live.

This is laughable and disingenuous.

How on earth will such a piecemeal effort protect the reef while the very same government continues its love affair with coal and gas?

I recall seeing a reasonably well-known psephologist post a few months ago, that people thinking Dutton would borrow his tactics from Trump were completely barking up the wrong tree - almost borderline idiots in fact - which I think says a great deal about focusing solely on quantitative analysis.

Yep I know this - I won't be voting for either of them, and keeping the coalition out and having a minority govt to force Labor out of their position is what is needed.

Dutton's property investments... A reminder, on this property he made $3,675,000. But because you get a 50% discount on capital gains, he only had to pay tax on $1,837,500.

That tax discount each year costs around $22bn - of which $18bn goes to the richest 10%

The new BYD Han L goes from 0-100 in 2.7s but I'm not sure it's coming to Australia. It's a more practical sedan but I can certainly understand the attraction to a sporty looking little speedster.
