@australia.theguardian.com about "Anywhere but Canberra"? As Holli said, in the recent article on her, she'd like to see rent caps. Perhaps she'd like to know the ONLY place in Australia where housing isn't completely unaffordable, due to its rent caps, is Canberra. No thanks to ALP or Liberals.

This really is the election where we need to write a '1' in the box beside an independent or minor party candidate. Otherwise we'll have to live with the dump of number 2's.

It's a good idea to not gut the public service.
History has shown us that when you cut public service jobs, you don’t save the nation a single cent. It costs the country more because work is then carried out by expensive contractors and consultants.

Cutting public service jobs undermines capability
Peter Dutton says he will cut the Australian Public Service by the same amount it has grown under the Albanese government – 41,000 employees.

This practice also normalises data theft, particularly from vulnerable populations. It's high time it was outlawed altogether, but until that happens it would be the bare minimum of decency for parties to stop doing it.

Australia gave up a lot for a free trade agreement with the USA - which Trump has torn up. Time for us to claw back what we gave up - including +20 years to copyright terms that benefit American media giants.

100 per cent. If we’re going to cop tariffs then let’s finally sort out copyright, whack social media companies, introduce streaming quotas etc.
Sadly none of this will happen because the entire political and media class are giant baby cowards.

Breaking: Peter Dutton confirms Australia DOESN’T have a gas shortage and DOESN’t need to build new gas wells to deliver more gas to Australian households and industry. Its always been true but this is the first time a major party has admitted the obvious. Next step, we need to tax the gas industry!

Passengers held on to handrails after a door stayed open on a driverless Metro racing underneath Sydney, with a transport union later calling for the system to be shut down until safety measures were put in place.
A “door fault” was identified on a train travelling between Chatswood and Crows Nest stations at about 8.01am on Wednesday, the Metro Trains Sydney chief executive, Daniel Williams, said in a statement. Continue reading...
