Good that ABC management is defending at least its senior journalists from unjustified attacks.

But even better if they explained how they were no longer under the sway of the Israel lobby. #auspol

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.

The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.

Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.

Nothing trickled down.

PM Albanese calls on the Coalition to get their act together & stop playing politics with the #Bondi tragedy.
“My message is that this is not a time for partisanship.”
“This is a time for national unity.”

I'm disgusted to my very core at the state of political play in Australia over the last week.

Truly pathetic.

The type of performance that has your colleagues start doing the numbers.

Not just stupid, but stupid politics - gives Albanese an easy chance to show himself as a leader and take the high road.

Most voters don't even know who Ley is. So this will be their first impression
Sussan Ley spent the press conference blaming the PM, then turned on Penny Wong. Totally over the top. Not a good look. Disgraceful. #auspol #bondi

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

If they don’t die in prison, which many do, Palestinian prisoners could be sentenced to death anyway.

Sussan Ley is clearly so far out of her depth that she deserves to be sacked by her party, purely for her own good.

This is perhaps the most contemptible thing any political leader has ever said in this country.

The sooner she f*cks off to obscurity the better for Australia.

Sussan Ley completely lacks what it takes to be Prime Minister or even lead a political party.

What a grubby nothing of a person she has revealed herself to be this past week.

I suspect many Jewish Australians would be disgusted by how grossly she has used this tragedy.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…

BULLSHIT.

@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.

This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
