#Auspol How the F do you not know where you've spent $3 billion? Maybe ask Morrison. 🥴
Just discovered $3 billion in extra nuclear sub spending between May and December $15.4B → $18.6B

Where's the $3 billion going? Defence: "Take it on notice"

That's enough money to build 10,000s public homes but for Defence it's pocket change they lost down back of the couch.

Things to consider: a) a global gas glut is emerging and will render projects unviable and b) a combination of batteries and renewables will increasingly crush demand, further weighing on the future of the industry.

Andrew Brown with the extraordinary story of NSW Police brutality at the Herzog protest.

While the premier - to great applause - said "Thank you friends" to the Israel Lobby.

If there’s one piece you read about the Sydney town hall protests. Make it this one. Independent media at its best

At least five Minns government sitting members were there along with others

one of the few outlets to publish an accurate account of NSW police brutality. Most media seem very confused by the fact that police blocked the exits and then police attacked people with pepper spray, fists, and steel cap boots.

Is it common NSW Police practice to use violence against peaceful, compliant protesters? The large crowd had paused bc there was a bottleneck out the back of Town Hall. I was violently shoved in the back, as was a Muslim woman in a hijab beside me. We were cooperating! #nswpol #HerzogNotWelcome

Pauline Hanson once said of Cory Bernardi: 'I'm glad you're out of parliament, you wouldn't have a bloody clue’
And she described Barnaby Joyce as being as ‘useless as tits on a bull’.
So, clueless and useless seem to be the joining criteria for PHON.

lotta rich people screaming about government spending. Easy solution, Ted. Stop giving billions of our dollars to expensive schools, franking boomers, and landlords. Nothing more inflationary than free money for the rich who produce nothing but speculation and bubbles.

We moved in the Senate for the Albanese government to withdraw the invitation to Israel’s President Herzog to visit Australia. He has literally signed bombs used in the genocide in Gaza. Labor, the Liberals and One Nation joined together to vote it down. That tells you everything

Will the MSM NOW accept that if they're sticking with the "Climate 200-supported candidates" narrative, they have to acknowledge the "Advance-supported candidates" as well? Of which there are MANY (looking at you, Freedom Boy).

Keep in mind Israeli officials also said that 70,000 dead Palestinians was a lie until last week when they admitted it was true.

A ceasefire where dozens are killed daily

A mass rape investigation where only perpetrators are protected

A climate catastrophe where the response is led by the worst offenders

A media industry that editorialises the opposite of the footage they air
