The opposition leader’s promise to halve the fuel excise is a populist sugar hit that will disproportionately favour the wealthy and do little to fix the budget, economists say.

Now is not the time to cut immigration, given the contribution it makes to the economy. Arguments that migrants are pushing up house prices are largely wrong.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.
1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Australian 2025 Election
Australian politics is basically a two-party relay race where the ALP and LNP take turns dropping the baton, then blame each other for the fall.
While the rest of us are all stuck watching & paying for the tickets.
We all deserve better.

Peter Dutton’s line that having a strong public sector is about “pleasing the unions” is just wrong. It is about providing decent services to Australians, something he clearly doesn’t care about. He wants to return to mass outsourcing to their favourite consultants #insiders

Man that is a bad lie, even for him
Peter Dutton said today about the Coalition's nuclear energy policy that "you would expect a 44 per cent reduction, or of that order, being passed through in energy bill relief".
To say this isn't true and has no basis in the Frontier Economics modelling he cites is an extraordinary understatement.
