German Chancellor Merz: Tomorrow is June 6th, D-Day, when the Americans once ended a war in Europe
Trump: “That was not a pleasant day for you."
Merz: “This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship” (2025)
Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.
That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/
What a fucking joke.
#ASIC CEO Scott Gregson gave contracts to #KPMG after ASIC started an investigation into them
Gregson said its important that its separate from the investigation and that has no impact on hiring KPMG
Who employs crooks your investigating

At last! An independent public inquiry into the fiasco that is AUKUS.
A great team of Commissioners led by Peter Garrett. As days go by the problems, changes and complexities multiply.
Why are we spending $368b to appease Trump and attack our most important trading partner?
Just a reminder: when Barnaby Joyce joined One Nation, Pauline Hanson received a $100,000, 42.5% pay rise, due to One Nation getting enough MPs to be classified as a minor party.
Yesterday, she stated that she would not support a 6% raise to the minimum wage.
One Nation says they want to tax gas when it gets them a headline. But when it comes to putting your money where your mouth is, they’re missing in action.
It seems to have escaped Marching Michaelia that Abbott is ‘a former Prime Minister’ because his own colleagues thought he was such a fuckwit that they axed him. The good voters of Warringah then did the same. Back to the future !!!
@MichaelPascoe01 At his presser he called Hegseth "Secretary of War", referred to Australian "war fighters", talked up how well AUKUS was going, & seriously praised the US commitment to the "international rules based order". Embarrassing to witness.
Pauline Hanson: “I’ve been a business woman most of my life.”
Hanson sold her fish and chips shop 30 years ago. Her new ‘business’ is being a dole bludger who specialises in racism.

Some of Australia's largest mining companies receive hundreds of millions in diesel fuel tax credits - BHP alone received $622 million last financial year.
At a time when the budget is under pressure and Australians are feeling huge cost of living pressures, these subsidies need to end.
We should be capping fuel tax credits to look after farmers and small miners but make the biggest miners pay the full price for diesel like everyone else.

@alisterberkeley Once again, the complaints are coming from the vested interests, pretending they're only concerned for imaginary working people. And to be on the top tax rate of 47%, you have to already earn over $190K . All her investments are grandfathered.
This is deliberate misinformation.
In 2029–30, students and graduates will pay more in HECS indexation than multinational gas corporations pay in tax on our oil and gas. Let that sink in.
Australians deserve a fair share of our natural resources, and a government with the courage to stand up for them.
Past Govts have squandered our resources, with revenue flooding into corporate bank accounts while only dripping into public bank accounts. We can’t let that happen for emerging critical minerals. I’m fighting for transparency around this future national opportunity. #FOI#auspol
