A welcome outcome for the EPBC debate, if nowhere near as good as we should have.

The elit(ist) university lobby Go8 finds itself, not just on the wrong side of the debate, but opposing the polices of the government that provides its funding.

A member of Congress could literally bet on their own vote and profit 10x. A White House aide could bet on a tariff decision before it’s announced. Theres ZERO oversight. This isn’t innovation, it’s legalized insider trading on democracy itself. Ban Kalshi politics

Kalshi Is a Corruption Time Bomb—and Congress Is Sitting on It
A platform that lets insiders (and legislators) gamble on their own behavior is a threat to democracy.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

Pauline Hanson has been suspended from the Senate for seven days. This comes after Hanson wore a burqa in the Senate yesterday, repeating a widely condemned stunt.

Labor will need to be dragged to action. We were heartbreakingly close to minority government last election, but thanks to the LNP fucking up so badly and distributing to Labor we've lost that opportunity for probably a couple of election cycles.

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.

This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

10am ICE arrested US citizen after alleging she‘d made a threat. Both woman & onlookers refuted claim, but ICE proceeded to force her to ground & zip-tie her hands. Incident followed a failed attempt by ICE to gain access at nearby laundromat

NBC News finds that:
-- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six.
-- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam.
-- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph.

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes.

When govts want to do something, they do it.
When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse.

No one here should fall for it
