Trump came to power partly by a spineless, toe licking media that sane-washed his every utterance and treated him like a normal person - now look at him
Australia - we're in deep trouble
This is Australia's legacy media today, right down to the ABC
Sane washing a maniac
.
Caught on camera: One Nation caught begging the US NRA for $10M to buy Australian elections and dismantle our gun laws. They literally plotted to use NRA tactics to shame victims of mass shootings. Absolute betrayal of Australian democracy and public safety. #auspol
The 🇦🇺 Govt needs to ensure we capture a fairer share of tax from massive multinational companies - from gas to big tech - that export our resources or make $ off Australians.
The business model of offshoring profit has to be challenged.
We keep hearing about the data centre and AI boom - we have to get a fair return from the companies using our resources.

The gas industry is panicking & spending millions to protect billions in profit from exporting our gas.
But no amount of glossy advertising will stop Australians demanding a fair return - a 25% gas export tax to make exporters finally pay their share.

Alan Kohler today exposed how #Insiders has been passing off political media hacks as authorities on economic issues.
His authoritative yet plain speaking contribution was a refreshing change to the uneducated politically biased babble of the panel and host.

What’s the real difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism?
Australia is currently holding a Royal Commission aka formal independent investigation into anti Semitism in the wake of the Bondi terror attack. The evidence given publicly thus far has been both concerning in parts but also deeply delusional.

Produced by the stellar Lena Helou + @lemzakharia:
Renewables surpass coal power globally. This is why bad actor politicians, One Nation, etc, are going into hyperdrive. Their puppet masters, fossil fuels, are increasingly desperate. It’s why the lies are even more extreme — and even more obvious…
I ran for the Senate because I wanted to help make politics about people again - not multinationals, vested interests or party donors.
And that's why our campaign to get a 25% gas tax matters.
Public pressure has made politicians pay attention and we have to keep it up because it can help make sure in one of the wealthiest counties on earth (and biggest gas exporters in the world), more Australians actually feel the benefit of our gas exports.

"He fought for us."
A civil court found he machine-gunned an unarmed man with a prosthetic leg.
The party that printed this sign is funded by Gina Rinehart, and led by Pauline Hanson who knowingly hired a convicted rapist.
There is no bottom.
In my hometown of Gladstone there are three LNG export terminals. In the last decade they've sent more than $125 billion of LNG offshore, but they've paid less than a billion in corporate tax combined.
The gas companies are taking the piss at our expense. It's time to tax them.
Peak masculinity: Booing in the dark. What an embarrassment. These are faux patriots. Racism should never be mistaken for love of country. Its aim is to weaken and divide.
The people of Warringah did not come to that conclusion, Ms Deves, when you took on the Teal, Zali Steggall?
It was a former Blue Ribbon Liberal seat, and you were wiped out?
Might it be you needed wider policies than "lets gang up on transgender people"?
Just a thought.

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon.
Every. Single. One.
All journalists.
Targeted and assassinated intentionally.
For reporting the truth from the frontlines.
