I've seen some of the latest polling (some) and as far as the general Australian electorate is concerned, Peter Dutton stinks like the fetid carcass of a 10-days-dead whale washed up on the shores of Desperation Beach.

His stench of failure is everywhere.

And a falling tide grounds all boats.

Unreal: the story of an Australian MMA coach sent to a harrowing detention prison upon arriving in the US with a visa to lead a seminar.

In case you had any doubt if it’s worth the risk of trying to enter the US unless absolutely necessary.

The founder of Climate 200, one of the most significant movements in Australian politics for a generation, Simon Holmes a Court, will be speaking tomorrow at the National Press Club in Canberra.

Simon is an erudite and fascinating speaker so if you can, tune in or get along to the NPC for this one.

There is no excuse. You can't pretend to be a Qld leader & FO to Vaucluse with a Cat2 about to hit us. The one thing you have to do as a PM is stand with the Qld people & the premier of the day.

You've failed, Peter Dutton. The Australian people will judge you now. #auspol

Peter Dutton has just announced free lunches for business leaders but he does not support free TAFE for everyone else. It seems he has no problem with tax payer funded free stuff so long as it’s just for bosses.

1. This is what it’s really about. Farage, Truss and co have no convictions of their own. They are mere channels for the demands of capital. Here they are, supporting a climate science-denying lobby group funded by oil and oligarchs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?

It has found no corruption.

The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment.

So, the trust remains as it was, w/ Prudence, Elizabeth, James & Lachlan sharing control of Murdoch empire after Rupert dies

Labor wants a duty of care bill on tech platforms, yet dismissed young people’s push for a duty of care bill on the climate crisis As a member of Gen Z, social media has shaped my life in more ways than I can count. Born just 10 months before Facebook launched in Australia, I’ve grown up with every moment – from my first steps – shared on my mother’s Facebook page. I’ve never known a world without social media. It’s essential to teach children how to coexist with social media, rather than ban them from it. Last week, the Albanese government proposed “world-leading” legislation to ban children under 16 from all social media, including platforms like TikTok and Roblox, which, let’s be honest, are a vital source of much needed connection in this day and age. This paternalistic measure, taken without consultation with the people affected by it, means more than just teens saying goodbye to Instagram DMs or Snapchat streaks. Jess Travers-Wolf is a university student and activist. She is an advocate for Senator David Pocock’s proposed duty of care bill, and is head of political engagement at community organisation Raise Our Voice Australia Continue reading...
