Is it time to introduce the Universal Basic Income? People may say: 'But what if no-one wants to work?' I reckon that won't happen because we
all need to fill up our days with something we like doing. Most of us like our job. It gives us a sense of purpose. If we don't like 1/4

Watching Putin's attack on Ukraine play out, I am struck by the thought that Putin learned the lesson from the wrong Afghanistan war. And he has also vastly misunderstood post-Zelenskiy Ukraine. 1/?

Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs.

Scott Morrison is attempting to capitalise on the Russian invasion of Ukraine using classic John Howard-esque strongman rhetoric. Will it work? [FREE TO READ] #auspol

Australia can lead the world, decarbonise our transport sector & wean ourselves off volatile & risky oil imports. Now is the time to shift to electric vehicles, taking advantage of our low cost renewable energy. My op-ed in todays @australian https://t.co/WufrXypZK9

My Roget's which I've owned since a teenager, and had its numerical system memorised so I didn't have to look up the index. I tried to update to a big Oxford, but there didn't seem to be the same range of words. So duct tape went on and this will have to last another forty years.

'Momentary masters of a fraction of a dot'... indeed.

I'm wondering if the PM will 'split' the election. Hold Senate election in May and HoR in Sept.
It would create an unnecessary amount of confusion and cost... but when has the PM ever worried about that.
Is it in the remit of the GG to refuse this kind of request? And if he did.

[Bev Floyd 🇦🇺 @Bf99Floyd]

It's not just money that is the root cause of evil... it's 'avarice', 'greed' , 'personality disorders'. In education and society we need to concentrate our efforts on protecting children and making sure they can grow up straight-- not twisted out of shape.

Whatever you think of Anthony Albanese, it can’t fairly be asserted he’s ‘not up to the job’. He’s one of the most qualified candidates in my lifetime. By contrast, we do have enough empirical evidence to judge that the incumbent PM is ‘not up to the job’.

Ukraine's president said that Russia will attack with full force this night.

Our team will be up through the night to bring you the latest news.

Our people are placed in and out of Kyiv. Even if the Internet goes down in Kyiv, we should be able to continue to post updates.

1) The fate of #Ukraine is being decided tonight, but also the fate of the west. Declare a #NoFlyZone over Ukraine at the invitation of their sovereign govt. Disrupt Russias air ops to give the heroic Ukrainians a fair fight. It’s now, or later.

[Steven Beschloss @StevenBeschloss]

Sovereign, democratic Ukraine, with its resilience and fortitude, not only has the chance to save itself, it can change the trajectory of the world.
