Incredible how quite rightly so many are concerned about children seeing terrible scenes from the last days - while they’ve ignored the live streamed genocide they’ve been able to access for the last two years.

Today, Sat 9Aug25, is the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Australia's mainstream media acknowledged this, and celebrated Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their history and culture. #auspol #WeAreIndigenous

Senator Wong gives her weasel words line about “contributing components that are non-lethal in nature”.

And in your final year, your super grew from $2,861,301 to $3,017,016.

So it went up $155,715.

How much tax would you now owe due to the super tax changes?

$60,000? lol

$25,000?? roflol

$10,000??? oh please.

Cripes, only $1,000??????

Try $14.40.
Think you might one day have $3m in your super & be affected by the super tax changes?

Ok, you are 18yo, you just got a job - it pays... $150k!
Give yourself a 3.7% annual pay rise.
Never take time off for study, kids or illness.

You will retire with $3,017,016

Dear @australianlabor.bsky.social
Clare O'Neil's rebuttal of the Coalition's idiotic super for housing policy is outstanding. This needs to be an ad. And it needs to be shared widely on social media. 🙏 #HousingCrisis #auspol #AusVotes25 #QandA

The whole debate about merit or otherwise of a fuel excise change is how we got to the famous Jane Hume quote about not having policy because "we're the opposition", right?
