He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.

Screen shot: Little surprise then that the Parliamentary Budget Office has found that 59% of the benefit of the CGT discount goes to the richest 1% (or those earning more than $362,900): with chart showing the richest 10% get $17.7bn from the CGT discount while the rest get $4bn.
The CGT 50% discount not only distorts the housing market it is also the most inequitable policy you could dream up. (Which is probably why John Howard and Peter Costello did it)

Patagonia’s wildfires killed 23+ people and burned trees over 3,000 years old.
Scientists say the fire conditions are now a 1-in-5 year event in today’s climate. Rainfall down 20–25%. Models project worse.
Ancient ecosystems erased in a single season.
This is collapse.

fossil incentivisation
In this piece of work I put these alarming signs in the context of the vast amount of hard evidence of the harm caused by fossil fuels - summarised here, but detailed in the report with SO many links and references etc....all of this is real-time stuff, not projections or forecasts.
Are there pics?
