From Senator Hume's announcement, major party deal includes a $5,000 disclosure threshold (up from $1,000 in the original bill).

That's well above the $2,000 it costs to buy privileged access to the prime minister.

No minister cost more than $5,000 to access. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

New Administrative Review Tribunal (replacing AAT) has operated for 2 months and hasn't published a SINGLE decision. AAT published 12 or more a day. Says tech issues are to blame but won't commit to publishing at least as many decisions as predecessor. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...
Exclusive: New tribunal yet to publish a single decision
The Administrative Review Tribunal, which was intended to restore transparency and trust, has released none of the decisions from its first two months of operation, owing to technical problems.

Having worked on #Syria full-time since the crisis began nearly 14yrs ago, there really is no understating how remarkable the losses imposed on #Assad's regime have been over the past week.

Always remember that when you hear mining-friendly journalists (and talking heads) talk up the size of the mining industry, they're just talking about profits, and they sure as hell will never argue they should be taxed fairly.

3THINGS: Gouging, Homelessness + Joffrey
Graetzy's back with 3 Things This Week, where we dive deep into the issues that matter. In this week's episode, we unpack three significant stories shaping Australia. First up, we dissect the groundbreaking Alan Fels review exposing price gouging by Australian companies. From "Drip Pricing" to "Rocket & Feather Pricing," we explore how consumers bear the brunt of these tactics due to a lack of true competition in the market. Next, we address a tragic revelation from Christopher Knaus of The Guardian, revealing the shocking average life expectancy of 44 years for Australians experiencing homelessness. With our housing crisis worsening, this issue demands urgent attention. Lastly, we cover the Rally Against Reckless Renewables in Canberra, where speakers outnumbered attendees. Despite the confected rhetoric, concerns over compulsory land acquisitions for high voltage transmission lines resonate with citizens. We revisit corruption in the electricity market and explore the potential of micro-grids and community batteries as alternatives. Join the conversation at The Undercurrent's website if you have a story worth sharing.
