@hardenuppete I'm always gobsmacked that otherwise intelligent people seem to think that even though Gina and Pauline are copying every page of the Trump playbook, somehow Gina & Pauline are leaving out the part where paid social-media swarmers help swing the election
Such a weird disconnect
I do not understand why there’s such anger at Grace Tame for her statement.
She’s right to acknowledge individual women’s allegations of rape, & she clearly reminds everyone that there is no evidence at all of Israel’s claims of mass rape by Hamas on Oct 7.
I do not see how allegations of rape can be dismissed simply because they’re made by a Jewish woman.
Look at the @FinancialReview telling Sam Mostyn to shut up despite her being a past Sydney Swans board member, one-time AFL Commissioner, a football lover and a woman.
She has more skin in the conversation around the sexual assault and other activities connected to the Swans players this week, than the Australian Financial Review!
It’s now beyond doubt that if any combination of Liberals, Nationals and One Nation win the next election it will be the end of universal super as we know it.
The dangerous anti-worker, anti-super ideology they share with each other would decimate the economic security and retirement incomes of Australian workers.
Another excellent and unmissable read from Laura Tingle. Albanese needs to urgently regrow his moral compass. He must start listening to the electorate far more, and to lobby groups far less.

Anthony Albanese – the great Australian sellout.
From salmon to supermarkets, gas to gambling – we detected a pattern: Albanese consistently backs powerful lobbyists.
And these decisions are often against the public will – on almost every issue listed in this piece, the Albanese government has gone against public opinion. For example, more than three-in-five Australians support a gas tax, 83% say the supermarkets deserve some blame for the cost-of-living crisis, three-in-four Australians want a ban on gambling ads and 79% hold a negative view of Israel.
On these big issues, the vast majority – from left to right – are in agreement. Yet, as we show, the prime minister has repeatedly stood with powerful interests.

“Revenue is up, prices are up," according to Woodside's boss.
What's not up? Our tax revenue.
While Woodside makes an extra $6 billion in 3 months off the back of the war in the Middle East, our government continues to subsidise the fossil fuel and mining industries with the diesel fuel rebate, while refusing to tax our finite oil and gas resources properly.
We need Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers to stand up to the multinationals and secure a fair return on resources that belong to all Australians. We're losing as much as $50 million a day in tax revenue.
The best time to fix our broken gas tax laws was decades ago. The next best time is right now.

The rise of Hanson is being managed by a billionaire & a corrupted media -
Creating preferred PM polls & putting her in them as if she’s a current contender is just one more pathetic strategy for keeping attention on her & the extreme views she represents.
Australians need to know this
This man is a US citizen currently working in Australia
He is speaking here at our RC on behalf of a quasi astro-turfing group - Australian Academic Alliance Against Antisemitism - the same shadowy group that derailed the Bendigo Writers' Festival last year and targeted an Australian citizen, Dr Abdel-Fattah
The AAAAA's actions resulted in a mass boycott of the Bendigo festival resulting in millions of dollars in lost tourism, damaged reputations and complete acrimony
Once again - this man is a US citizen defending the actions and interests of a foreign government, Israel, in bombing and killing children, while, as a guest in our country, he interferes in Australia's social and cultural life and attempts to dictate how our universities are run
