Whitlam supported state aid because of the then poverty in Catholic schools. He would never have endorsed what is going on now.

Disgusting. To see the changes Whitlam made to State Aid being expanded at the expense of public education is soul destroying
Jane Caro: “We ask public schools to compete against private ones, but we don’t give them funding, resources to do so. We fill them with most disadvantaged, most expensive to teach students, including those rejected/expelled from publicly subsidised private schools.”

“It is possible for Australia to have a fairer political donation system. The current system leaves major parties free to spend much as they always have, while restricting challengers from getting their message to voters,” writes Bill Browne.

IMF joins the long line of economists saying Labor’s 5% 🏠 deposit scheme is pouring fuel on the housing crisis bonfire. A 3.6% increase in price of eligible homes below the cap in the last 3 months of 2025. A disaster.

As Save the Children said: “Australians should never be left without a safe or viable pathway home. These innocent children have already lost years of their childhood, and deserve the chance to rebuild their lives in safety at home, and to reintegrate into the Australian way of life.”

the cast of enablers still persist the bs of ‘trickle down’ and ‘problem immigrants’.
while the self serving mega rich and racist dog whistlers know that their type of ‘one nation’ survives only by division.
and we know enough about these tri-hard-alition, relevance fests.

A VPN/Social Media ban for children in the UK is in the works, but what these bans are really about isn't protecting children.

They want to ID everyone on the internet all the time, so they can watch everything you do, and ban piracy so billionaires don't lose any money.

Dare to be brave @albomp.bsky.social or accept that you are done.
Rising support for the One Nation grievance party is just the symptom.
The cause is mediocre, risk averse govt, drip feeding delivery of edge tinkering policies - rather than a bold, aggressive, transformational agenda.

I kid you not, the Business Section of today’s Australian has a full-page story headed “What would Thatcher do?” FFS, it’s Thatcher that landed us here in the first place. She’d likely rob the pension funds of the working poor, but surely we’ve advanced beyond that regressive neoliberal wet dream?
