www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... The whiny little fascist refuses to concede. What a surprise!

‘Total meltdown’ in riskiest debt unnerves market www.afr.com/world/north-... Bullock is going to do another Glenn Stevens. These arrogant fools just never learn. www.afr.com/markets/debt...

www.afr.com/companies/re... What a surprise. A dinosaur of an organisation acting like a dinosaur. This thing is cooked. The MD is clueless and did a horrific deal buying declining brands. All this will do is see the best employees who have a choice leave.

Yet another reminder @albomp.bsky.social (as if you needed one) that the U.S. is a thoroughly unreliable ally. When are you going to stop sending our tax dollars to fund the complete boondoggle that is AUKUS?

Hey @albomp.bsky.social is this another one of those values we share with the U.S.A? A deep admiration for one of the worst war criminals in history and an evil, evil murderous man?

www.afr.com/politics/fed... "David Pocock has proposed imposing a 5 per cent levy on large, next-generation data centre revenues, which would deliver more than $500 million a year to taxpayers by the end of 2030, in a move industry warned could send investment overseas." Ok, bye!

www.facebook.com/story.php?st... Helen Haines and her husband Phil are just incredible people all around. Wishing her all the best in her recovery. Hopefully this shocking incident sees some good come out of it. E.g. More proactive mental health intervention for those showing erratic behaviour.

www.afr.com/companies/fi... Only the one eyed RBA could be so blind as to see that they are pushing the Australian economy into a recession it doesn't need to have.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10... People supporting Hanson and One Nation should be utterly ashamed of themselves. These people are trash. Deplorables of the worst kind!

You've been gifted a Financial Review article. Read now for free. www.afr.com/rear-window/... If ever there were a trust fund baby who needs to read up on the concept of noblesse oblige it is Gina.

Meanwhile @albomp.bsky.social and Marles are bankrupting Australia with the boondoggle that is AUKUS. Absolutely pathetic sycophancy that WILL live in infamy.

www.afr.com/politics/fed... “Fifty of the 53 seats One Nation is projected to win sit in the bottom three health quintiles. None sit in the top quintile.” That's because old people and the poorly educated typically have poor health AND are racist. There, solved the puzzle for you!

Hey @albomp.bsky.social is this another one of those shared values we have with the U.S? Happy to let rampant insider trading occur, probably because the people doing it are well connected...

www.afr.com/policy/energ... So they want cheap gas, to not pay tax and to get our IP for free. How about get f@#ked! There is literally no benefit for Australia to host these parasites' data centres.

One might think that a supposed ally abandoning a nation in need like this might make the Australian Government reconsider tying ourselves ever closer to the U.S... What do you say @albomp.bsky.social? Still smart to put all our eggs in one very unreliable basket?

www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe... Hey @albomp.bsky.social is this another one of those values we share with the United States? Having our cultists beat up women protesting the lack of justice for victims of sexual assault and then laughing at her and calling her fat?

www.theaustralian.com.au/breaking-new... Seems remarkable that not a single political party doesn't question why we are deepening our reliance on the U.S, while simultaneously discussing censoring their latest barbaric act (that will be broadcast by the State)???

Hey @albomp.bsky.social is this another one of those values we share with the U.S? Weaponising the levers of Government to harass a parliamentary representative who came to the country as an asylum seeker?

www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/10/... For somebody that was supposed to keep the U.S. out of wars he sure likes sending men and women into harms way!

www.yahoo.com/news/world/a... "Overall, support for issues linked to the energy transition was slightly higher among the business leaders surveyed than among the general public." Incredible what biased, right wing media can do to distort the facts!

Why Australia’s inflation shock may be creating its own cure www.afr.com/markets/debt... Not sure why this would be remotely controversial. It's completely obvious that this oil crisis is leading to an explosion of demand for EVs and renewables that will ultimately crush fossil energy prices.

A reminder if you needed one of the type of countries that engaged in public executions... www.annefrank.org/en/timeline/...

www.afr.com/world/europe... When even the conservative business press in Australia is questioning the U.S. as an ally you would think Labor would rethink the utter boondoggle that is AUKUS. How about it @albomp.bsky.social? You going to even think about whether we should go ALL IN on the U.S???

A lot of these people aren't just staying home either. China (>20% growth in 1H 2026) is one of many countries enjoying record visitation. No doubt partly helped by the fact the U.S. is actively pushing away tourists. thediplomat.com/2026/08/chin...

Why high interest rates aren’t hurting households like they used to www.afr.com/policy/econo... Where does the AFR find these people. Interest rates are crunching spending. Discretionary spending that is. It's hard to cut your surging petrol costs, utility bills and grocery spending!

cnevpost.com/2026/10/02/t... BYD beating the pants off Tesla in pure BEV sales (I.e. Ex-PHEVs). Love to see it. BYD sales of 762,478 passenger BEVs in 3Q26, 57% higher than Tesla's 486,532 global passenger car sales. Amazing what having more than 2 models can do for sales!

www.theguardian.com/business/202... Absolute idiocy on the part of Europe. Newsflash: There is a global shortage of petroleum products. Why on Earth would you deliberately choose to increase your demand for gasoline and diesel?

edition.cnn.com/2026/10/09/m... Brave of this man to confirm what any thinking person already knew.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social is Australia going to say a peep here? Last time I checked we are a founding State Party to this Court (ratified 1 Sept 2002)? I mean obviously John Howard has more courage in his little finger than you, but surely this warrants a statement at least???

Hey @albomp.bsky.social is this another one of those values we share with the United States? why are we getting closer to a nation that is rapidly falling into totalitarianism?

www.reuters.com/world/us-imp... Hey @albomp.bsky.social , is this another example of the values Australia shares with the United States? Why did we dissolve SASR2 for the actions of several rogue operators when the U.S. is actively sanctioning ICC staff attempting to prosecute war crimes?

www.haaretz.com/israel-news/... Wow. Am shocked that somebody who knows Netanyahu is accusing him of being a liar about what he knew prior to October 7th!

"The repricing talks, revealed by this column, have progressively slid from $9 overnight to $8.25 this morning, with sources suggesting Firmus may have to accept a deal at about $7 or even $6 per share or kiss the IPO goodbye." As @edzitron.com would ask. Is that good? www.afr.com/street-talk/...

www.reuters.com/world/uk/bri... The lunatics running the Israeli Government won't be satisfied until they have destroyed every last international relationship they have apparently. Pig headed arrogance.

www.cnbc.com/2026/10/05/t... That sure sounds like a reliable supplier! I don't know about you but when the President of the nation I'm thinking of investing billions in is threatening me with tariffs I'm probably less likely to sign up to a 20-30 year offtake deal with them...

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10... It's really concerning when the LNP's policy is the more logical of the two major parties. Tobacco excise at current levels will remain a source of black market profits and operations even if you shut shops (distribution will move to the same as illicit drugs).

www.navylookout.com/mounting-con... When is @albomp.bsky.social going to admit what is obvious to anybody with half a brain and back out of AUKUS? This thing is a ridiculous boondoggle that will leave Australia with no effective submarine capability when the Collins are retired!

www.msn.com/en-us/news/o... Circular financing at its greatest. $42bn of financing so that Anthropic can lease Broadcom chips. Insane.

www.motorcyclesdata.com/2026/08/19/v... I think energy analysts might be surprised at how much of the demand destructive caused by the war on Iran proves permanent. Electrification is accelerating everywhere ex the U.S.A.

www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202609/28/... When "Space Bunny Alpha" is beating Open AI models in usage on openrouter you might have a problem with your business model!

Oh no Donald Trump is becoming increasingly unpopular! Surely it must all be over soon | First Dog on the Moon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Absolutely nailed it.

www.afr.com/policy/econo... Chalmers is no economic genius but in this case he correct. Inflation is NOT demand led, it is a cost push issue from high energy prices. Unemployment is rapidly rising while the WPI falls. Outside of electricians there is no part of the labour market that is tight.
