Pete Hegseth fired a Navy Vice Admiral to make her disappear, and yesterday the voters of South Carolina handed her a path to a seat in Congress. Her name is Nancy Lacore.
Bravo, Andrew Hastie. He has said what needed to be said.
He'd "rather be taken out in a box, than bend the knee to One Nation."

And I hope his electorate rewards him for it.
IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”
It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.
If you touch water you are apprehended by police.
If you molest kids with Jeffrey Epstein you are moved to a luxury prison and considered for a pardon.
TRUMP’S AMERICA.
"In Albania, the situation has completely spiraled out of control.
The Albanian people are calling on all celebrities to speak out publicly about them. Amplify our voice to the world. We will not accept the occupation of our land by the United States and Israel."
Today I moved to suspend standing orders over the government's failure to act on gambling harm.
The ask was simple: release the draft gambling laws for public consultation before the laws are passed.
The government voted no. And the Coalition? They didn't even show up.
More than 3 million Australians continue to be harmed by gambling advertising. Australians deserve better.
We’ve secured support to get our tax reforms through the Parliament.
This will mean a fair go for first homebuyers, tax cuts for workers and a fairer tax system as well.
Jim Chalmers says the reason why Australia’s ‘right wing parties’ keep voting against tax cuts & wage rises for workers, is bcoz they just do whatever “Gina Rinehart” & Tim Wilson’s cousin “Geoff Wilson” tells them to do.🔥😂 #auspol
Whistleblowers play a critical role in exposing misconduct, but too often they pay a high price for doing the right thing.
The KPMG whistleblower told parliament they would not speak up again after alleged retaliation, loss of employment, circulation of their identity and gaps in legal protection.
Senators Deb O’Neill, Barbara Pocock and Richard Colbeck and others have done outstanding work highlighting the failure of the system.
🇦🇺 needs a standalone Whistleblower Protection Authority to protect people in the public and private sectors who come forward in the public interest.

With the massive wave of data centre investment, we need the govt to be looking at mechanisms to ensure Australians get the benefits.
How are we locking in access to the computing power we will need to compete in an AI world?
How are we making sure these companies don't offshore all their profit and pay some tax here?
Countries like France and the UK have already established digital taxes to capture some of that benefit. We are being left behind.

So it turns out gas companies CAN pay more tax and would be willing to do so if it means they don't have to reserve gas for Australians 🤦♂️
How about they pay tax AND prioritise Australian gas for Australians… a 25% gas export tax would raise $17B/year AND reduce prices for Australians.
Keep up the pressure at https://t.co/dcjuwV2f9S
