I suspect some will look to submit tax returns as “traders” to circumvent the 30% lower bound CGT rate on “investors”, even though the change comes in 2027. I imagine the ATO will want to clamp down on this. But the definition is so vague. I wonder how this will play out.

@NRLGann Best wishes, hope it all goes well

[UmiTrader @TraderUmi]

@respeculator I agree with the first thing you said.

[UmiTrader @TraderUmi]

@TOzgokmen @onechancefreedm The Six Day War in 1967 was an anomaly by your definition too. Israel gets things done fast.

[UmiTrader @TraderUmi]

True.

Everyone is a genius in a bull market.

But it's only after a massive drawdown or blowing up that you realize investing is about managing risk and protecting your capital.

The only thing that matters is how much you keep, not how much you make.

@Bell_Potter That’s great. Except today is Thursday.

@GlenGoulds This is super cheap. Maybe needs to bring in a partner if funding is slowing the project’s development overly. I know waiting on more sampling assays then can perhaps think about planning some drilling.

[UmiTrader @TraderUmi]

True.

No one spoke about the deaths of more than 36,500 people in Iran at the Grammys. That silence shouldn’t surprise anyone. Iran doesn’t lend itself to easy virtue signaling.

Much of modern celebrity “human rights” discourse is not actually about victims. It’s about narrative compliance. Suffering must fit a rigid, racialized template: brown people as passive victims, power as Western, evil as adjacent to whiteness. Within this framework, it’s all about aesthetic politics—who looks oppressed, who can be blamed without social cost, and which cause flatters the speaker’s ideological tribe.

Iran blows up that template.

The oppressor in Iran is not Western. Not white. Not Jewish. Not capitalist. Not colonial. It is a non-Western Islamist theocracy that has spent decades slaughtering its own people—executing teenagers, torturing dissidents, imprisoning artists, and murdering women for defying religious law. When oppression looks like that, the woke celebrity moral framework short circuits.

That is why Iran is radioactive in celebrity spaces. Condemning the Islamic Republic would require admitting several deeply inconvenient truths: that Islamist regimes can be primary agents of oppression; that women can be brutalized by religious law; that non-Western actors are fully capable of mass atrocity; and that Middle Eastern crimes do not actually revolves around Israel. Worst of all, it would risk the ultimate social transgression—being labeled “Islamophobic” for opposing the Islamic regime that executes people for dancing, singing, or showing their hair.

The result is a grotesque inversion of reality. The Iranian people—who are risking their lives chanting “death to the dictator,” who are being gunned down in the streets and dragged from hospitals—are erased. Meanwhile, the ayatollah and his enforcers are quietly absorbed into the category of the “oppressed global South,” protected by the very activists who claim to speak for human rights.

When the atrocity doesn’t flatter the ideology, it is ignored. And when the victims refuse to play their assigned role, they are abandoned.

@maxseddon @ChristopherJM I’m hopeful Vladimir Putin will accept his invitation to speak at the Adelaide Writers’ Festival in 2027. I’m sure he’s studying all details of the offer.

Well said!

Hi @AlboMP. Jewish Australian here.

Don't you dare claim your "Hate Speech" laws are helping me or my Jewish community.

Don't you dare.

You've given people 2 days to respond to a sham 'public consultation'.

You had 2 years to respond to violent speech at the Sydney Opera House, violent speech on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, violent speech on CBD streets weekly, violent speech at universities... You didn't. You did bugger all for 2 years. Oh, except recognise 'Palestine' and import thousands of potential Jew-haters from Gaza.

It took you 4 weeks of dodging a Royal Commission when it should have taken you 4 seconds to call for one.

Don't you dare use the memory of dead Jews at Bondi to try and pretend you're solving a problem. You helped create the problem. You've had two years to say something and you didn't. Yet now you want to prevent the rest of us from saying things.

Well for the next day or so while it's legal, let me say this:
Violent Islam is the problem. Not guns, not memes, and not random dickheads with an old tattoo they've forgotten about.

You plan to exempt religious texts from your laws in any case. So I won't be able to say "Violent Islamist Imams need to be jailed and deported" but they will be able to say this:

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him".

They'll be able to say it in the mosque and in the street. Why? Because it is a religious text (and so happens to appear in the Hamas Charter). And we know all too well exactly where that ends.

People getting murdered. Every single time. Always starting with Jews.

Meanwhile the cops will be arresting people like me for posting truth bombs to social media. Just as they arrest the Jewish guy with the Israeli flag at the demo but not the hundreds of people calling for Jews' death.

You are guaranteeing we follow the UK in their footsteps - a disaster - when we should be running, not walking, the opposite way.

Shame on you. Shame on you for what you've done to this country. A country the Jewish people migrated to in order to escape antisemitism. Now they are packing their bags.

Eventually as ordinary people get swept up by your new laws, or lose their beloved hobby, who do you think they'll blame? Jews! Jews will cop it, after you claim you spoke with representatives of the Jewish Community and this is what we wanted.

Well as someone with more social media followers than any Australian Jewish organisation (except @AustralianJA ) you didn't speak to me. Or anyone I know.

You did nothing for two years. Nothing. Yet now you want to ram a pile of legislation as thick as your arm on 2 days notice so you can announce you've solved the problem.

As Ronald Reagan said in 1986: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I’m from the government and I’m here to help." and you sir are no Ronald Reagan.

And don't bother throwing shekels at the Jewish Community thinking it will buy you some gratitude or silence. We shouldn't have to spend millions of dollars of our money or other taxpayers' to build giant walls and steel doors around our buildings while you leave the door of the entire country wide open for extremists.

How many Gaza visas has Tony Burke cancelled? How many?

We know the answer. Because given the choice between the Qantas Chairman's Lounge membership or our security and the future of this entire nation, you lot will always choose the one with the cocktail on arrival.

While the rest of us are being murdered.

Exactly.

[Hoover Institution @HooverInst]

Hoover Senior Fellow @NFergus argues that the radical left's protests expose a moral double standard—mobilizing against Israel while remaining largely silent as Iran violently represses its own citizens.

extraordinary bravery of iranian people continues, standing up to a brutal regime that’s repeatedly proven itself willing to attack its citizens.

THE MANY HEROES OF BONDI

Boris and Sofia Gurman - Elderly first victims who grappled with Sajid Akram, disarmed him, and died when he got another gun from the car to kill them.

Jessica - Pregnant mum who used her own body to shield 3-year old Gigi, who was not her child.

Ahmed al Ahmed - Wrestled gun off Sajid Akram and caused a lull in the shooting.

Gefen Bitton - Ran in to help Ahmed al Ahmed, shot three times. Still in intensive care.

Reuven Morrison - Threw bricks at Sajid Akram, shot 3 times, fatally.

Chaya - 14 years old, shot in the leg while shielding two young children from gunfire.

Jack Hibbert - Beat cop just four months into the job, shot in the head and the shoulder but continued to help festival attendees. Lost an eye.

Constable Scott Dyson - Shot in the shoulder while assisting festival attendees. Stable after emergency surgery.

Lifeguards Jackson Doolan and Rory Davey - Ran from the beach into the line of fire to help people on the shore. Also pulled panicked people from the water.

Detective Senior Constable Cesar Barraza - Shot dead Sajid Akram, after breaking cover from behind a tree 40 metres away.

Thousands of Australians flocked to donate blood - Dwarfing the previous record.

Off-duty first responders travelled to Bondi from as far as two hours away - simply because they knew there was a need.

Healthcare workers rushed to hospitals when they heard of the attack, shift or no shift - confronting unspeakable trauma to save lives.

RESPECT TO THEM ALL 🙏

@pati_marins64 Hi I’m from Australia. How much for a dozen of these?

[UmiTrader @TraderUmi]

$BKT is like similar to $SYR but more early stage.

NPV US$1.4 billion, POSCO owns shares and has off-take. Recent raise was 2.1c

Cheap and unloved but good upside if graphite market recovers

About $35 million market cap at 2.2c

DYOR

[UmiTrader @TraderUmi]

$IMI 1.4c very low mkt cap but does need to raise. Still very early.

[UmiTrader @TraderUmi]

Similar style mineralisation and geologic setting to SX2, which has 240 times larger market capitalisation

[John435 @GlenGoulds]

$IMI news out #Stibnite found on #Walhalla tenement ,should assay very high I think
