Labor’s become the party of symbolic progress: flags, diversity panels, and feel-good language while the economic screws tighten. Cultural gestures up top, neoliberalism underneath. It’s liberal identity politics dressed as a workers’ party.

Here’s the answer to where nuclear waste from reopened Three Mile Island will go. Are you onto this Albo? This is more important to us than your upcoming wedding.
This from Sen. David Shoebridge:
'AUKUS submarines create nuclear waste-and they want to dump it on this Arrente land near - Alice Springs. The same US companies running Pine Gap want to turn this ancient salt lake into a global nuclear dump.'

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.
