Barnaby out.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Barnaby exiting a room from which a leg kicks, a hand flipping the bird, another throwing a tomato, an akubra hat and a beetroot flying, and “BUGGER OFF!” and “GOOD RIDDANCE!” Barnaby in melodramatic pose looking back says “Don’t try to beg me - I’ve made up my mind.” In front of him, Pauline Hanson in burqa (dress, legs and high heels showing) arms outstretched, saying “COME TO MAMA!” - eclipsed by Gina Rinehart behind her, long white dress, same pose also saying “COME TO MAMA!”

Let me guess the shooter had a long record of supporting the GOP? Hmm, this is the excuse to unleash the ADF on unarmed protesters against Trump..

“ #AUKUS is a toxic deal, and the more the Australian public sees of it, the more they oppose it. Labor has responded to this challenge by leaning into secrecy and keeping as much as possible from the public.”

Albanese and Ley to decide members of ‘secret’ new committee set to scrutinise Aukus – but Greens excluded
No more than seven government MPs will be appointed but Greens and independents will not be included * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The Aukus nuclear submarine deal and Australia’s involvement in military conflicts will be considered by a secretive new committee of federal parliament, dubbed a “closed shop” by the Greens over plans to exclude minor parties and independents. Labor and the Coalition are preparing to pass legislation to establish a joint House and Senate committee on defence as soon as Thursday, with a makeup mirroring the powerful parliamentary joint committee on intelligence and security.

The Economic Impact of Brexit: by 2025 “combination of elevated uncertainty, reduced demand, diverted management time, and increased misallocation of resources from a protracted Brexit process”

www.nber.org/papers/w34459
Text Shot: by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%. These large negative impacts reflect a combination of elevated uncertainty, reduced demand, diverted management time, and increased misallocation of resources from a protracted Brexit process

Australians voted for climate action!

Australia Institute research shows that Australia is currently expanding fossil fuels.

We need stronger environmental laws that stop new coal and gas projects.
