The Albanese govt's failure to overturn the Morrison government's $50,000 arts degrees can only mean one of two things:

- they're happy with LNP higher ed policy, or
- they are far more interested in just holding power than doing anything useful with it. #auspol

In his futile attempt to justify Musk's $1 trillion pay package, this Musk fluffer overlooks:

-Musk's tax rate on his $450BN is only 2.5% so far.
-Tesla & SpaceX received $3.7BN of US subsidies & loans.
-SpaceX has $22BN in US govt contracts.
-Tesla has received $22BN in US ZEV/GHG/IRA credits.

Nonsense indeed!
Given that the Coalition is going to go all out on linking rising power prices to Net Zero and parts of our media are going to help foster this belief, this is an important, clarifying read.

“Gough Whitlam wrenched Australia out of its post-war malaise, and 50 years since the Dismissal, urgency and bravery remains just as necessary and so too is to have a government that keeps asking why not”

“Part of what’s bizarre is that the Trump organisation is so deeply leveraged in the Middle East that the corruption could sustain the ceasefire. Because they all stand to make so much money there is an interest and an incentive to kind of stop the war.”

Why 👇
Why isn't non-Murdoch media asking Lachlan Murdoch every day why his Fox Network is Trump's chief propaganda unit? Why does he get to hide out in Australia while running cheerleading for the ruin of America's justice, health & rights systems?
ICE attacked peaceful protestors with tear gas and then Fox News characterised the violence as caused by protestors. Trump’s propaganda arm - Murdoch media - is a huge part of the MAGA problem.

Yep, we have to start trusting the people who have absolutely no fucking idea. We need to trust the morons, the fools, the dilettantes, the dickheads, the deadshits. The spadge-brained wank-wrestlers. All of them. But not the experts. It’ll be great. Especially when we plant crops & board planes.

Vote now, if you haven't already, for the Guardian's Bird of the Year 2025

It helps to nominate a bird that's endangered, giving it a much higher profile - like Baudin's black cockatoo for example

Please vote - this is a wonderful environmental exercise

Truth
Australia’s housing market isn’t a ladder, it’s a Ponzi scheme.

The new “first home buyer” plan just feeds the property lobby while renters queue in Bondi.

End negative gearing. Scrap CGT perks. Tax Airbnb rorts. Everyone knows how to fix it. No one’s got the guts.
