This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

Nobody believes that this is a short duration conflict.

This Graph Exposes Our Rigged System What would a typical worker earn today if their wages had grown as fast as CEO pay over the past 50 years? Take a guess

Do you know how much the typical worker would be making today if their wages had grown as much as CEO pay?

This graph holds the shocking answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lPPsrAMtTI

Single frame. Angus Taylor at table with generic colleague at whiteboard holding marker. On whiteboard, two headings: “GOOD IMMIGRANTS” and “BAD IMMIGRANTS”. Under first: “# People like us; # Business people; # Wealthy people; # Cheap labour”. Nothing yet under second. Taylor says: “Well, we DON’T want the kinds of people that come from repressive terrorist regimes…” Colleague says: “You mean, the people most likely to need somewhere safe to flee to?”

Thinking of Jon Kudelka and those who are in Tasmania today (awful place, never go there) attending his farewell. So very sad that we will never see another new, brilliant toon from him. Love to his family and friends. 🤍

Billionaires can crush any obstacle—buying media, politicians, or institutions—then profit from the wreckage. A 95% tax on extreme wealth would curb this rigged game.

Two frames. 1. Lib Party Room, members huddled around table, one says “We have no policies, no principles, no vision, no credibility, no gravitas, no consistency, no popular appeal…” 2. Same scene, another says, “You’re right - Angus Taylor is the leader who best represents us.”

Single frame. Chris Minns stands beside a massive tonne weight marked NSW POLICE being lowered by a crane. Visible sticking out from under the weight are hands, legs, a woman’s face, a keffiyeh and placards saying “NO TO GENOCIDE”, “FREE PALESTINE”, “HERZOG OUT”, “NO TO VIOLENCE” Minns says, “Thst should socially cohere them nicely.”

It's weird to me that Aussie journos like myself, Antoinette, Antoun Issa, Joel Jenkins, Jan Fran, Caitlin Johnstone, to name a few, have been proven correct on Israel/imperialism over and over, & still ppl listen to the same Murdoch/ABC hacks that have been lying this whole time

Commissioner Brereton told the public and parliament that his position with Defence was entirely honourary, now we know that is not true, that he is part of a chain of advice to Ministers and Defence.

This moron's ideological crusade against renewable energy is a reckless policy that sacrifices the well-being of Queensland's future.

Why, why,why this successful example is not imitated. Are our politicians so compromised that they are unable to do it. Can they explain, in detail, why not.

There it is folks: the betrayal (resources sell out) of the Australian people. Lucianne Tonti’s Norway comparisons are instructive. 👇👇

A reminder that the RBA and other compliant economists spent a couple years telling @australiainstitute.org.au that companies were not marking up prices in 2022-23.

The failure of Australia’s economic establishment was truly embarrassing
