How long was Jack De Balin suspended for again? 🤔

Aimee Hulbert @aimeeh.bsky.social · 10h

These takes are certainly something.

Just a reminder one of the 2 Greens demands was to reduce the cap from $3m to $2mil because in their world a $2mill super balance for a single person is not high. So tough, so strong and so working class.

$1mill per adult cap would have been impressive.

If this government is too gutless for some very mild reforms to super for the uber wealthy,

Jim Chalmers' super tax compromise proves Labor is a party that's in office, but not in power

Labor has finally capped superannuation tax concessions, but still given in to a scare campaign waged by vested interests. It's the sign of a timid government worried about a giant industry.

You can help fight this by depositing money directly in to my bank account.

Also this article is un-relatable. Moving from the regions to the city enabled me to earn more and not every lesbian couple wants to have human kids.

But transfer me money all the same.

Polling has support for One Nation somewhere between 10 and 14 per cent, much higher than during the federal election.

Why has support for One Nation surged since the election, and will it last?

many similar criminals out there that have run revenge p_rn sites living their lives unabashedly unashamed like Craig Brittain. You may follow him right now, but we should never allow these types to live their lives as if they didn't devastate so many others.

He now shills as an "activist".

After a public comment period, the Federal Trade Commission has approved a final order resolving the Commission's complaint against Craig Brittain, alleging he used deception to acquire and post intimate images of women, then referred them to another website he controlled, where they were told they could have the pictures

removed if they paid hundreds of dollars.

The settlement was first announced in 2015. In its complaint, the FTC alleged that Brittain acquired the images in a number of ways, such as by posing as a woman on the advertising site Craigslist, and offering nude photos purportedly of himself in exchange for photos provided by women. Brittain also allegedly solicited viewers of his site to anonymously submit nude photos of people to his site, according to the complaint, at times offering cash "bounties" for images of

specific individuals.

As someone who grew up in public housing and speaking only for myself- the parties campaigning on this have failed the people they claim to care about. Not that i think those parties actually care.

You cant renovate away the problems that poverty segregation cause.

Im pretty disgruntled with the Greens these days but even I can see this article is rubbish.

No doubt Greens cult members will respond in a completely unhinged way instead of just pointing out the obvious and moving on.

For too long, family trusts have been used as a means for people to avoid paying their fair share of tax. This is why we are calling for a 25% minimum tax on disbursments from family trusts. We also want to see more transparency around who's actually benefiting from these arrangements.

So far as I'm aware, there is neither physical evidence nor testimony suggesting Ed Gein ever had any kind of fixation on or interest in Christine Jorgensen, nor to suggest Gein actually cross-dressed. I think to invent these elements for the purpose of fiction is at best ignorant and reckless.

I have so many questions about this. My first one is why would a highly paid politicians need a sponsor to pay for a sports group?

The second is Pocock was a member of this club for 3.5 years, how did he not know he was at risk of being lobbied?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
