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...

The Great Gas Giveaway just hit $78billon. And look, tbf, the gas companies are doing it tough. The government choosing to not do a 25% tax on gas exports is only fair - not like there are any needs currently being unmet... health, education, care, poverty, disability... live.thepoint.com.au

In the last 48 hours, Trump has invented an energy ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, pretended that much of this year’s energy price surge is not because of his reckless war on Iran and cut a side deal to funnel billions to Russia for sanctioned diesel. Not a friend. End AUKUS.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Just remember it's wages *expectations* that the RBA is worried about. And poor Ampol had no choice but to charge higher prices and have profits go up 376%. Good thing it only cost the govt $3.3bn to artificially lower petrol prices, no one else had any need of that money...

And that's why we do not need Billionaires.
