Australians aren't buying the usual story about having to wait their turn and tighten their belts. They want to see real change in the budget to fix the problems they're facing. 📺co-Ceo Richard Denniss on ABC Afternoon Briefing #auspol #Budget2026 @richarddenniss.bsky.social

A reminder that gas is not a vital industry to Australia. As Polly Hemming explains, if anything, it costs the Australian economy. Some more gas myths debunked here: https://thepoint.com.au/factchecks/251111-does-the-gas-industry-really-support-215000-jobs

"Even if Trump goes away tomorrow...there's no going back to a previous version of America." @emmashortis.bsky.social on the radical changes underway in the US & what they mean for Australia on the 100th episode of After America. "The America we thought we knew is gone." 🎧 theaus.in/4d6h2IA

'Great...now tax the gas!' The prime minister dismissed calls to implement a 25% gas export tax as a "social media campaign". Our research shows it could raise $17 billion a year that could fund vital services...and the PM's replies are lighting up about it. 🎧 theaus.in/4tPVYv7

The government might be about to change the way trusts are taxed, getting rid of a tax dodge used mostly by the very wealthy. Treasury estimates that around 63% of all income from trusts goes to the richest 10%! @grogsgamut.bsky.social @elinorjohnstonleek.bsky.social #auspol

“You can only insure against unlikely events . . . The insurance industry will not help people in 20 years’ time with their flooded houses.” – Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO ✍️ Add your name to the call for a climate disaster levy! https://theaus.in/3S1clYh

The massive cuts to the NDIS won't fix the systemic fraud and inflated costs. Instead, some of the most vulnerable members of the community will pay the price. @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 Farrer by-election result is another example of how there is no such thing as a safe seat. Director of The Australia Institute's Democracy & Accountability Program Bill Browne explains. Read more here: https://australiainstitute.org.au/report/power-sharing-in-australian-parliament/

“The foreign owned gas companies get more than half the gas we export for free,” says Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO of The Australia Institute. “You know, brickies pay for bricks, bakers pay for flour, the gas industry doesn’t pay for gas.” ✍ Sign the petition: https://theaus.in/4dmljX8

Studios didn’t hire me because I had no experience in gaming… so I decided to make my own. Here’s my first indie game: Maseylia – Echoes of the Past. It’s an action-platformer imagined as a 3D metroidvania: backtracking, unlockable abilities, exploration, combat… And it’s inspired by Moebius.

Trump’s version of loyalty is one way, as I famously learned, just like so many others have—indeed, like the nation has. But loyalty to Trump means the willingness to do things you know to be wrong and that are harming others open.substack.com/pub/charles4...
