As if we needed more proof, we share no values with this man and his regime. Australia urgently needs an independent foreign and defence policy. End AUKUS.

Maybe someone should ask the Israeli president about this on Monday
I guess I'm a dupe or something, because I'm still capable of being shocked by this stuff.

The graves of Anzac soldiers in Gaza have been desecrated. Where is The Australian's outrage?
The News Corp publication, usually quick to defend the memory of fallen Anzac soldiers, is quiet on the destruction of a grave in Gaza where more than 250 Australian servicemen are buried.

Years ago, when the LNP were claiming pensioners were having to live on pet food, Richard Beckett/aka Sam Orr did a taste test of various brands for Nation Review. He had to buy a new set of saucepans after. Couldn't get rid of the smell. Reality was human food was cheaper than pet food.

New figures show the Capital Gains Tax discount will blow a quarter-trillion dollar hole in the budget over the next 10 yrs. Considerably more than the $205 bn it has cost over its 25 years. The richest 1% of income earners will get a staggering 59% of the benefit.

If you want to understand Australia’s housing crisis, look at what the government funds
We are living through the worst housing crisis in living memory. Rents are surging, home ownership is slipping further out of reach, and homelessness is rising and more persistent.

I never use food delivery apps because I know how they’re ripping off and undermining the life of the restaurants I love that are creating the real value to our cities, communities and streets. @lastweektonight.com covered it.
