Elon Musk is the neediest human in existence. I will never have his money or launch the businesses he did, but I went for a lovely walk on the beach with my wife today, and that contentment and joy is something he will never know.

If B'Tselem is saying what the IDF is doing in Gaza amounts to genocide … shouldn’t all Australian citizens and permanent residents returning from active service in Gaza, with the IDF, be subjected to vetting, to determine if they have potentially committed war crimes or crimes against humanity 🤷🏽♂️

Not sufficient for our PM #AnthonyAlbanese just to criticise #Israel of being in breach of international law by starving people of #Gaza. You are better leader than that Albo. Its overdue for you to break diplomatic ties with Israel and recognise #Palestine as a State. Do it now.

I’m not an activist, but as someone who reports on people who are, I see some activists sneering at people who are late to a cause they’ve fought hard for. Surely the point of activism is pitching to the centre to make change? Not alienating or mocking those whose minds you surely wanted to change?

We don't need a more competent, less embarrassing Zionist in this special envoy role. Because the role is to quash opposition to a genocide. Scrap the whole authoritarian project completely, and then, if you want, appoint First Nations elders as an all-forms anti-racism envoy

Yup, international law is just so quaint and nostalgic when our allies are the ones breaking it. But God forbid someone we have designated a threat step anywhere near the lines we’re hastily pretending never existed

I can't imagine what it's like to have more than $3 million in a superannuation account & complain about not getting even more tax breaks on it, but I suspect it's horrible because deep down you'd know you're an irredeemable dickhead.
Half of Australians support new super tax – SMSF Adviser
"Despite this, people tend to overestimate the likelihood they will be affected by the change,” said @richarddenniss.bsky.social
“The reality is only 1/200 have super balances above the level that attracts the higher tax rate.” #auspol

How absurd are complaints against the super changes?
Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000.
So they earned $250,000 in a year.
Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability.
How much? $2,884.
That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.

Remember that line they solemnly say every time there’s an institutional incident that people failed to speak up about: “the standard you walk past is the standard you accept”?
Does it apply to allies committing war crimes?

Thank goodness.
People paid attention and saw Dutton and his shit team for what they were.
Hats off. I am pleasantly surprised and somewhat uplifted by the no BS approach the country has taken for the most part.
Now @australianlabor.bsky.social, go hard and use the mandate well.

So much this.
Journos around town who fancy themsleves and experienced contributors are happy to ask why the political cupboard is bare while sharpening their pencils in ready to attack should there be something proposed that stands out amongst the pulp.
looking for click bait.

Pet dislike of the day: self-important newspaper editorials that slam both campaigns for lacking vision. For two reasons, firstly it's a disingenuous trap; any leader running a vision-based campaign would be hunted down by the Aus media and destroyed.

Im sorry but that "interview" with Dutton by Sabra Lane was appalling.
How is he allowed to just spew lies and not get called out?
Just repeating same bullshit and making claims that dont get challenged.
