Albanese was asked about a gas tax on SBS, and a few of his answers sounded more like gas company spin than a government making sure Australians get a fair return for their resources! @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol
There was no ambition in the budget to end the free ride for big gas. And not only will the beer excise continue to raise more than the PRRT, the gap between them is growing! @grogsgamut.bsky.social @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol #Budget2026

The PM says we at the Australia Institute need to be 'fair dinkum' about a gas tax. We're happy to be fair dinkum! Including about how the PM said some pretty misleading things in that interview. 📻co-CEO Richard Denniss on ABC Radio Perth #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social
Inflation means more GST going to Tasmania, but everyone pays higher prices. A 25% tax on gas exports could provide enough for Tassie to fund a stadium every three years! @leanneminshull.bsky.social #auspol
A 25% tax on gas exports wouldn't just raise $17 billion a year to fund essential services. It would mean more Australian gas sold to Australians! @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol
Did you see our billboard truck in Bondi, NSW? 👀 Australia’s great gas giveaway has now reached more than $70 billion. That's revenue the government is estimated to have lost that by failing to implement a 25% gas export tax. ✍️ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax ➡️ https://theaus.in/3R8Lh9o

No final do Governo Collor, o Brasil tinha 1/3 da sua população vivendo na extrema pobreza. Se a Globo não tivesse interferido tanto nas eleições, Lula já poderia ter ajudado o país há mais tempo:
💭 Remember Farage in 2018? “Join the Brexit club …you’ll love it.” 2026 reality check: Hungary 🇭🇺 voted Viktor Orbán out and chosen to stay firmly in the EU. They looked at Brexit Britain: stagflation, energy shocks, exposure and said: no. Hungary dodged the trap Britain is still stuck in!
A referee's intention to let players play often paradoxically influences the game's outcome. The pursuit of non-interference can, ironically, lead to significant game-changing moments. #SJSharks #TheFutureIsTeal #SanJoseSharks #NHL #Podcast #HockeyTalk #Hockey

If you think calling the GOP "nazis" is going too far, there's a case to be made that it's not going far enough. In NC, they proposed an amendment to their constitution that criminalizes any intervention w pregnancy, punishable by death, to be carried out by anyone. www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/202...
Donald Trump is unfit to serve as President. His erratic behavior and dangerous rhetoric make that clear. We have legal processes for moments like this, and his Cabinet has a duty to the American people to invoke the 25th Amendment. This war is immoral. It is illegal. It must end now.
