While Gina/Advance/IPA/Murdochs/Faragists/preferential Pauline take over the Liberal Party, a big window has opened for more meritorious independents (think ‘teals’) to run in marginal LNP (and some ALP) seats across federal electorates. Libs may have signed their own death warrant. 👇

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.
Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.
Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Exclusive: Government warned over ‘legal basis’ of welfare system
Despite being warned in 2018 that jobseekers were being exposed to unfair and excessive decisions, the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations ‘chose to continue with the status quo’.
