So Australia signed a deal to mine and sell critical minerals to the USA. Good, are we actually going to sell the resources and tax appropriately or just give it all away to foreign companies… again? #auspol

An Australian billionaire (who loves Elon Musk of course) wants to destroy a world beneath the oceans before we even come close to understanding it. There are no limits to this ultra capitalist strip mining of our one and only planet.

I may have said this before but dead set, integrate child care in to the education system and get private operators out of the sector. It isn't the cure but the privatisation of early childhood is a massive net negative.
I will not be taking rent seeker correspondence on this one.

The iron ore industry pays billions more in royalties than the oil and gas industry.
So why does oil and gas get special treatment?

AFR column on how "bad" the changes to super tax weirdly explains that the changes won't affect pretty much everyone.(except the super rich)
Got your super in an industry or retail fund? (ie all of us). You're fine, you don't have "unrealised capital gains" so carry on.

Thanks Donald - a progressive government elected in Aus.
We will be a better country as a result of your disgusting second term in the US.
Culture wars, hate and division have been rejected here.
