Anyway, a reminder. Fuel Tax Credits over the next 4 years will cost the Govt $47bn. The savings from the cuts to the NDIS is $38bn. Gillard in 2010: "Budgets are about choices, and you show what you value through the choices you make" Indeed.

Why "social, economic and community participation" and "improved daily living skills"? Because (according the legislation) they apparently don't "affect supports that are essential to a participant’s health, safety or continuous care needs" Yep living skills are not essential to health or safety.

Watching the ALP work with the LNP and One Nation to vote that my daughter with Down Syndrome does not need funding to assist with living skills because they don't think they improve her health, wellbeing or safety

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

My biggest disappointment with the Albanese Labor Govt is the revelation how cheap it is to buy our Australian Govt. And how Albanese will ignore the clear will of the Australian people on so many policy issues to ensure the political donations keep pouring in to the duopoly. 😔 #auspol

One Nation is the local arm of a globalised dark money network, promoting fascism and division across the world. The Greens are here to fight them every step of the way.

After our scoop about an internal Microsoft document that explained the company wanted to “make people addicted” to its AI assistant, CEO Satya Nadella told staff that he was “not sure what this document is or who is writing and leaking this nonsense." The document was written by Microsoft execs.

Keir Starmer's political failure comes down to one issue above all others: his unwillingness to put the public interest ahead of the demands of the oligarchs, corporations and foreign governments who lobby him. Whoever replaces him had better be prepared to stand up for us, or Labour's finished.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

The best party of the year. That's Mexico. Voices From Both Sides. Trump wants a wall through this ancient crossing. Does this look like a crisis? No. It's a cooperative culture of Mexicans and Texans.
