Trump’s return has shattered the illusion of a rules-based order. As great powers cut deals, Australia risks strategic irrelevance by clinging to outdated assumptions, writes Geoff Raby.

The great failure of the property industry
In every era, certain industries become so large, so politically embedded, and so culturally unexamined that their performance ceases to matter.

CONGRATS to Australian fossil fuel company Santos, which has been granted 614,133 carbon offsets for its new CCS facility.

Assuming a price of $37, that's $22m AUD in profits if they sell the CCS offsets. Or 600k tonnes of fake "neutralisation" if they claim it for themselves.

Corruption in politics isn’t just a moral lapse – it’s a response to a system that rewards access, loyalty and survival over the public good, writes David Higginbottom.
#AustralianPolitics #Corruption #Democracy #Transparency #Power
Corruption isn’t just a moral failure – it’s built into our political system
Corruption in politics is not an accident or an exception. It is a predictable outcome of a system that rewards loyalty, access and survival over accountability, transparency and the public interest.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

A genuine man of the people is our Andrew Hastie, patron of an exclusive gun club.

It is fun that he applied for funds for solar panels.

That MPs get a taxpayer slush fund of $150,000 per annum to spend on keeping their electorate sweet is fun too. Did you know?

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.
