The average #rental price is $650/week in Australia. This is more than the total per week a JobSeeker gets, of $849.90 (maximum payment possible per fortnight). The maximum amount of rent assistance that person can get is if sharing $143.60 or if living alone $215.40. =#homeless!

“Labor still has a chance to shape the future, and history won’t look back to discuss whether or not modern Labor was 'moderate' or 'centrist' enough. It will judge it on whether it met the moment and the times,” writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

They should not have invited Herzog to Australia. Now the police are saying they have concerns about how his visit will cause “significant animosity”.

It already seems like there is no chance of fair midterms. What are Americans going to do between now and November? What are world leaders going to do? Do we all just accept the US as "leaders of the free world" even when it is obvious it isn't even a free country itself?
