3 yrs on & Yates finally takes the fall. For gross, systemic failures, clumsy coverups & attacks on whistleblowers. These guys laugh at Parliament. Time to change the rules. Time for Labor to act on unregulated massive partnerships - who laugh all the way to the bank 🏦💸💵
This article by @abcnews should be retracted in full, and an apology should be issued.
8 million Australians are not receiving 'income support'. The study relied on here openly counts accessing sick leave entitlements as a form of 'income support'.

Jeering and heckling at an Anzac Day service scrapes the depths of the gutter. It is disgusting, grossly offensive, beneath contempt, an insult to the living and the dead.
Gas companies are under pressure and are peddling absolute BS to Australians. But we're seeing through their spin.
Tragically the major parties keep using the industry’s lines and putting multinational gas companies interests ahead of the interests of Australians.
We deserve a fair return on our offshore gas exports. Simple as that.
A 25% gas export tax won't stop investment overnight or destroy the gas industry (all these arguments were used in Norway when they decided to tax their gas exports) - we’ll just have more revenue to pay down debt, put some in a sovereign wealth fund and fund cost of living relief Australians desperately need right now.

🚨 MAJOR NEWS: Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust.
Called it a war crime. Said it is “not solving anything.”
And told Americans directly — call Congress.
End this war.
If the Israeli ambassador is indeed addressing the National Press Club in Canberra tomorrow I hope there are trenchant, well-researched, insistent, questions about the number of journalists Israel has killed in Gaza and elsewhere.
The gas cartel has swiftly rolled out a campaign to preserve their wartime profits from OUR gas. @AlboMP has the numbers in the House and the support of Greens in the Senate to ensure struggling Aussies benefit from high international gas prices. #auspol https://t.co/IADjxXkBfU
If the Albanese government had introduced a 25% gas export tax when it was first elected, it would have raised more than $63 billion!
Free childcare or free uni shouldn't be a pipe dream. If big gas paid their fair share, Australians would be better off.

Ed Husic is calling on Dr Jim Chalmers to consider embracing the ACTU’s proposal for a 25 per cent tax on gas exports, which would raise $17bn a year.

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
“We’re in this ridiculous situation where as one of the biggest gas exporters in the world, we have the Petroleum Resources Rent Tax collecting less revenue than beer tax,” Senator David Pocock said.
“This needs to change."

Pretty telling that Cathy Wilcox has become a more effective political commentator with her powerful sketchings than most of her non-cartoonist colleagues who expend thousands more words every week but somehow manage to say very little or gutlessly avoid the issues altogether.
