There is a solution to underfunding hospitals, roads, NDIS, aged care, GST shortfalls for states and territories, medical research, science, the arts ... All it takes is a government with a modicum of courage. Where on earth are we going to find one of those ...? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Santos admits it'll make about $3.5 billion in additional profit because the war in the Middle East means it's been able to charge more for gas. And guess how much extra company tax it's paid? Zero. Yep, 11 years in a row of paying zero company tax. But we have to cut the NDIS ...

Politics beats common sense (and the small matter of protecting the planet) every time. And this Premier is supposedly "progressive". FFS

Ralph Babet is vile. Today he asked his first Senate question in six months. More pro-Putin muck. Penny Wong: "You want to stand with President Putin. That is a shameful position. (He) takes six months ... to do some work ... continues to pull his salary whilst posting his holiday pics."

Remember this next time you hear the industry's lies about how much they contribute. #taxgas

The gas industry hates this campaign. So please share this. Big Gas Is Taking The Piss ... the sequel!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6Jf...

The White House Press Corps' decision to "boycott" Trump by covering him without audio is doing him a favour. He's far less annoying when you can't hear what he's gibbering about. Just don't cover the orange clown at all.

Demonising those seeking a better life in Australia has been political gold for a generation. It's also a pot of gold for some. thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

You should see @rodcampbell.bsky.social kicking for goal on the run from 50 ... Footy fans ... and players ... for a gas tax!

So, One Nation's Vic leader is a meth user and pervert. Oh, and their super "policy" was never modelled. Yeah, their people and dot points (they call them policies) were always going to live up to scrutiny 😁

You think the ship looked bad. What about the poor bastards on it? Hundreds of days at sea and another US military defeat under the guidance of an orange coward who faked injury to avoid serving his country. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Ah, the old flag distraction. And it's been dutifully swallowed up by the media. For the record, I would never burn the flag. I'd change it in a heartbeat. After that, instead of burn the old ones, I'd make dog beds out them.

It's a scam, it's a scam, it's a scam. Taxpayers will pay for 95% of the NSW Great Koala National Park. Yet Chris Minns/Bowen say $$ from climate polluters for offsets are essential. Me in The Point: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

This is one of the bravest things I've ever seen a politician do. Jacqui Lambie tells the Senate the injury which ended her military career was just the beginning of her health hell.

Sarah Hanson-Young has absolutely shredded Angus Taylor for turning into Albanese’s “lapdog” & capitulating on gambling reform “How pathetic! What an absolute stitch up!”💥 “Angus Taylor looks more like Toto, than he does the leader of the Opposition”🔥 Brutal stuff.

David Shoebridge rips into the major parties for “meeting in dark rooms” with their “One Nation mates” to give gas corps a free ride despite their “wartime profits” while “cutting the deal to drive 160,000 ppl off the NDIS”💥 #auspol

Which is more pathetic ... Dave Hughes' mindless bleating on social media ... or Dave Hughes trying to be serious, giving a PRESS CONFERENCE at a Liberal event? I suppose it's too much to ask of a journalist dispatched to cover this "story" to actually fact check some of his bullshit?

How stupid do you have to be for your ignorance to be highlighted by Sky after darkers and republished by the most right wing News Corpse rag?

David Shoebridge unloads on Labor/ON/LNP for yet again joining forces to block a gas export tax & says it’s time to “replace Labor” — not with parties who “wander off to some Sicilian resort with the billionaire class”🔥 but with the only party who stands up to them, The Greens.

Pauline Hanson: racist www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Junk food companies can't lie about their products being healthy. So why can politicians in NSW lie in their election ads? ✍️ Add your name to the petition for truth in political advertising laws in NSW! ⤵️⤵️⤵️ #auspol @browne90.bsky.social

How To Lose Voters 1.0 Angus Taylor: "I know, I'll get a selfie with that whining property investor who used to be a comedian." Pauline Hanson (in Italy): "Hold my beer ..."

Just when you thought Irrelevant Angus Taylor's political judgment couldn't get any worse Two out-of-touch rich guys walk into a cafe ...

News Corpse has failed in its attempt to beat this into a story. Pity. Aussie soccer fans in Seattle chanting ... "Aussies on a bender ... Trump's a sex offender". Truth, as they say, is a defence.

Whereas Ray Hadley is only Australia's EQUAL WORST radio big mouth since Federation, tied with that disgusting sleaze bag Alan Jones.

I've never really been into Dave Hughes' whiny style of comedy. But each to their own. However, his whining about tax is just bullshit. This 'man of the people' is a rich property investor. His social media bleating has more factual errors than a One Nation 'policy'. Spare me.

$368 billion is more than $13,000 for every Australian ... from newborn babies to 90-year-olds. But where does that figure even come from? What we do know about AUKUS makes it look like a dreadful deal. I can't help think what we don't know is even worse.

Loving the old clips of Obama being cheered as he happily, smilingly, awakenly attended sporting events ... compared to snoozing orange clown being booed mercilessly at Game 3 today. American's hate this fraudulent, sleezy, cowardly predator as much as the rest of the world.

The more the Herald Sun and Australian attack Jacinta Allan, the more likely she is to win in November. Any reasonable reader can see through the vitriol, misogyny and lies. Murdoch's gross tactics have backfired for years.

"Angus didn't do his homework." Cracking headline/caption in Michael West Media today. michaelwest.com.au/angus-cannon...

With friends like these ... Brilliant analysis from @emmashortis.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Not sure what kind of hockey Susan McDonald watches, but the budget papers say PRRT revenue is going backwards. Surely she isn't just parroting the gas lobby's lies again. Who needs Treasury data when you can just make sh*t up?

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Barnaby Joyce seems to be very exercised about testamentary trusts. No idea why. www.aph.gov.au/-/media/03_S...

This headline is a disgusting lie Special Disability Trusts are not affected *AT ALL* The article even makes it clear the concerns of the bloke (a solicitor with expertise in wills and estates) in this story are not about his disabled son but his other children being able to minimize their tax!

Think about this. The Prime Minister of Australia is now openly quoting inaccurate talking points from the gas lobby. Not ATO data. Not his own government's budget papers - talking points from a bunch of foreign-owned companies taking an entire nation for a ride.

This is such a great point.

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

How can anybody take a news article seriously when it begins with the phrase ... "A coalition government would ..." ?

The Liberal Murdoch budget bed wetting is hilarious. It's like they think they're relevant or something 😄😁😂

Excellent analysis of what fairly taxing gas exports could pay for: live.thepoint.com.au/2026/05/the-...

Hume, Duniam and Wilson whining that changes to CGT and neg gearing will deny young Australians the chance to buy investment properties. Do they even know, thanks to Howard, there's a generation for whom a home, let alone a bloody investment property, is an impossible dream? Irrelevant clowns.
