Australians are the biggest gamblers in the world, and the government has taken little action despite strong public support. ‘The majority of Australians, about 75%, would support a ban on gambling advertising.’ - Morgan Harrington, Research Manager @mhharrington.bsky.social #auspol

Premier Peter Malinauskas’ decision to overturn SA's ban on gas fracking is not only irresponsible, but also unnecessary. Australia doesn't have a gas shortage problem, we have a gas export problem. And fracking in vulnerable farming communities won't fix it. #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social
“A gas export tax would raise $17 billion a year ✅ “The only way to avoid paying a gas export tax would be to sell it to Australians ✅ “So you don’t need a [gas] reservation policy if you’ve got a gas export tax in place.” ✍ Sign to support a 25% gas export tax ➡️ https://theaus.in/4d8tAiH
As it currently stands, more than half of the benefit of the capital gains tax discount go to the top 1%. People under 30 only got 2% of the benefit! 📻Senior Economist @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social on ABC Radio National #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
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 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
“We’ve actually changed direction in this Budget and said . . . we need to start making sure that whether you work for a living or you inherit for a living, you have to pay tax.” – Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO of The Australia Institute Read our coverage on The Point ➡️ https://thepoint.com.au/
"Michele Bullock said that in her press conference afterwards, the higher interest rates will not impact prices over the next six months." "Why put up interest rates now when households are suffering if it's not going to lower inflation?" - Senior Economist @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social #auspol
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
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

The green flag isn’t “never fighting.” Healthy couples still have conflict—they just repair quickly. A simple “let’s start over” or even reaching for your partner’s hand can interrupt the stress response and remind both people the relationship is still safe. #relationshipadvice

At @cop30brazil.bsky.social, calls for a new adaptation finance commitment are increasing and pressure is building on developed countries to provide more public funding for adaptation. Meanwhile, some still look to the private sector to close the adaptation finance gap - but do the numbers add up?

Q: If Trump is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back for checkups? Oz: I think he likes the results. He does really well. He aces the test every single day. Really? If that is actually the case and he's in "perfect" health, why does he need checkups every single day?

Trump claiming Israel wouldn’t exist without him is nonsense. He has done nothing Democrats haven't done—both parties let Israel commit genocide with total impunity. Israel’s existence was never in doubt; it is the lives of their innocent neighbors that are at risk. Stop funding their terror.🤦🏾♂️

During the war with Iran, elite Israeli special forces and Mossad personnel were reportedly deployed to Azerbaijan, operating just 60 miles from Tabriz — one of the Iranian cities later struck by Israel.
