The Christian Brothers have billions of dollars in property and their schools have banked over $1.5 billion in public funding over the last decade - but apparently they can’t afford to compensate survivors of child sexual abuse?

New Australia Institute research shows that Australians have lost over $104 billion to gambling in the three years since the Murphy Review.

Finally! ICAC has announced its long-awaited inquiry into allegations concerning people associated with the NSW Liberal Party, the CEO of Catholic Schools NSW Dallas McInerney, property developer Jean Nassif, hotelier Michael O’Hara, certain Strathfield councillors and others.
Forget One Nation. Forget Labor. I think the discussion needs to be firmly on Angus Taylor and the LNP constantly sitting around 17-19%. This is the party that has held govt for the 3/4 of the last century. This is what the major news is in #auspol. That’s where the MSM should be

I wrote to Katy Gallagher, Minister for Finance & Public Sector, calling for the govt to cease KPMG’s ethics & leadership training in the APS. KPMG has a $1.27 mil contract to run training for 300 public servants. The contract runs until Dec 2026 w' poss of extension to Dec 2028.
Perhaps now the pro nuclear Nats and ON and their mates Gina and Rupert can dump nuclear. Aust is too hot for nuclear. How will reactors be cooled in hotter climate? #auspol

The public inquiry into AUKUS meets in Freemantle on Monday. Supporters of AUKUS, politicians, lobbyists, and military personnel have been invited to appear. Only former defence minister Linda Reynolds has agreed to give evidence.We need more than talking points and spin!
In news that will surprise absolutely nobody, wannabe President of the Liberal Party and potential One Nation Senate leader, Alex Antic, stood up in the Senate this week (23 June) and claimed bird flu is a conspiracy to get people to have flu vaccinations.
Oh dear.
