@MicheleASheldo1 @JonesHowDareYou @ABCaustralia Agree - it was very odd.

Our Government makes more money from HECS repayments than it does from the PRRT.

‘Norway taxes its fossil fuel industry and gives their kids free higher education… we subsidise our fossil fuel industry and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.’

@hasumpstuffedup The AFL themselves have come out and said that, on reviewing the footage, the first one shouldn't have been a free kick. So you're out of line with the game there. And every single commentator. And about 99% of fans, too, I reckon.

@MeetJess No. The answer is no. The answer has been no for some time now.

@TIDAL, your slogan is: "For the love of music". Will you commit to not supporting AI Slop music - to making sure it doesn't flood your platform? It's gonna be a real problem, real soon.

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media.

This was the largest study on emotional health in history.

The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy."

Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm:

@hasumpstuffedup @FOXFOOTY What's the actual rule? He was under very little pressure..

@chapschatcats @Davidrc1985 @drunk_logic He plays a little bit like Stewart in the way he moves and intercepts. Great to see!

The great Aussie gas giveaway is set to continue under Labor 🤯🫠

This is a total scam - we haven’t received a cent of PRRT for offshore LNG exports & the weak changes Govt made last term aren’t fixing it.

Parliament needs to fix the PRRT.

This is scandalous

WA Government doctoring scientific report on destruction of Murujuga cultural treasure to cover for Woodside.

"A disgrace to Australian science, and my colleagues at Curtin University, who I'm sure are as angry as I am."

@CalltoActivism I'm no body language expert, but it looks kind of like he's a fascist to me.

@3AW693 Incidentally, it was originally brought in over a hundred years ago by a conservative PM because it served them better at the time. A bit rich to ask for it to be changed now that it no longer does.

[Matt Wicking @mattwicking]

@3AW693 All he does is complain. And it's almost always baseless. Preferential voting means choosing your leaders in order of preference, Tom. It's not rocket science.

Today, drilling for gas under the Barossa project off the coast of Darwin was approved

That's 274mil tones of emissions from one of the dirtiest gas projects in the 🌏

More than 100x emissions from the 🇦🇺 electricity system

Our approvals system is broken. We need urgent reform
