I'm still puzzling over Ita Buttrose claiming in court today that ABC staff had not checked into Ms Lattouf's background in any way, and Ms Buttrose had formed no opinion of her one way or the other - but somehow Ms Buttrose knew with great certainty that Ms Lattouf was an "activist".

The median super account balance for Australians under 40 is ~$57-60K
Many Australians who'd like to buy a house don't actually have $50K sitting in their super account.
As usual, Peter Dutton is talking baseless, unadulterated shit.

Accused by a whistleblower of covering up an oil spill that killed dolphins and sea snakes, Santos get fined just $10k 🤯
Santos spends up to $US3.3m per year on a private jet for their executives so I don’t think AUD10k is going to hurt them.

Seawalls? We should fight them, and not just on the northern beaches
We have our heads buried in the proverbial sand when it comes to coastal erosion. The time to think about the fate of our beloved beaches is now.

In 2021 the Govt of Qatar was forecast to collect $26.6 billion in royalties from its LNG reserves. Our Govt was forecast to receive $800 million for the same volume of gas. Both the old parties have given away our wealth and aren’t interested in changing this state of affairs. #auspol

Approximately 1/3 of voting Australians didn't vote for any of the major parties at the '22 election.
The rise of the community independents, candidates not beholden to any party, is changing our political scene for the better.
