Crypto currency is a scam, a bubble and a vehicle for crime and any profit made on bitcoin relies entirely on tricking someone into buying it. That's why they act like a cult, to make money they need to convince YOU it will keep going up in value. Some coins are obvious scams but they are ALL scams.
If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

No one knows or writes about Labor Party history quite like Guy Rundle. Here he is on Graham Richardson.
Great read, covering his early life, his criminality and his role in Labor's factional machinations.

Australia needs to be less afraid of people seeking asylum, and more afraid of the foreigners wanting to dig up our resources for free.

Dear ABC radio, please have somebody with more expertise than me explain to you why “renewables are the cheapest form of power” and “power prices have gone up in the last years in spite of increased renewables” are not contradictory statements. And why slowing renewables will not bring prices down.

The Faragists, backed by Gina, are about to trigger a full blast Australian fear campaign on net zero target and “mass” migration. Resolve polling indicates electors remain undecided on these political pressure points.

Good on the Guardian for this. I'm astonished at how many journalists at other organisations don't seem to know this or think that it's important to mention. Coalition politicians keep claiming it's net zero causing rising costs without any pushback
The Coalition claims pursuing net zero will increase power bills – but in the real world the opposite is true.
Are we surprised?

This is a good lesson for Australia. If you can't do anything in a 3 year term, you can't do it in 4, or apparently 5. The problem is not the term length, the problem is the culture and incompetence of the politics of the people who rise to the top in our parties.

The Eagles have a waiting list to become a member. As Stated, as a long time supporter of a Tassie team, I don't believe a Stadium should have been a condition. Look how the AFL let's Clubs play games around Aus now EG Ballarat in Vic. I think the Eagles played a home game in Busselton this year.

I don't follow AFL. A team, no team, doesn't matter to me. I don't buy into the arguments that a stadium will keep young Tasmanians in the state or that it will solve Tasmania's economic woes. I have lived here 28 years, and there's been no improvement in health or educational outcomes. #politas

What on earth makes the Tasmanian government think they can deliver a $1B plus stadium on time and on budget? The state's track record on infrastructure projects is diabolical. Look at the ferries fiasco. Can't even deliver a transport ticketing system without making a meal of it. #politas
Tasmanian transport ticketing system costs balloon to $65 million
A $65 million contract has been awarded, nearly ten times the original cost…
