It’s us who are paying too much for houses.

It’s us who keep the house prices rising.

AND, the government needs to stop the John Howard policies that turned human shelter into financial products to help us stop doing it.

Brazil didn’t stop at sentencing former president Bolsanaro to 27 years for an attempted coup; his entire inner circle—from the vice president and the military commander to the intelligence chief and even his son—are also facing decades in prison.

America, this is what democracy looks like.

So many of us had little choice but to place Labor just above LNP.
It's a massive shame Labor have misunderstood the result as some sort of endorsement or approval of the timid path they tread.
So tired of waiting for generational change.

Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

What passes for "analysis" of climate policy by today's ABC:
- all politics, little policy
- an alleged expose of the "conundrum" in Liberals' position, when NONE of it makes any sense
- no mention of the role of powerful vested interests like the fossil fuel lobby, Gina Rinehart, Advance... #auspol

There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files.

It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release.

Not long ago, the DOJ declared there was nothing to investigate.

You are witness to the most blatant coverup in American history.

This is the correct question
There were cops present, watching & listening to the nazis as they broke laws around hate speech & inciting hate. Were they instructed not to intervene .... with bats, pepper spray & arrests .... like they do with climate change or anti genocide protesters??
What instructions were they given ??

Australia should be disqualified from hosting the international climate conference (COP31)

Australia's emissions per person are 3X rival bidder Turkiye, and Australia is a massive fossil fuel exporter.

Australia is an out-of-control petrostate using COP31 to launder its image.
