It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Just one of the many lies by distortion told by Frydenberg last night on #abc730 - his insinuation that Jewish schools have armed guards due to a failure by Albo.
In fact armed guards were initiated in 2015 - when the LNP was in power & Frydenberg was Asst Treasurer.

The AFR run a 2 year campaign to get the ALP to weaken the changes to super tax concessions to make it easier to avoid paying the tax.

The ALP does it.

The AFR criticises the ALP for weakening the policy because people can avoid paying the tax.

Josh Frydenburg climbing over a pile of bodies to launch his political comeback is genuinely one of the most repulsive things I've witnessed in Australian politics. Have some shame.

Jane Caro: “Education is used by rest of world to try to break down the class system. Almost alone in developed world, Australia is using it to build one. We are now governed, not just in our parliaments, but in business, judiciary, academia, medicine, media, by people who went to same schools.” ➡️

“it’s the biggest mass shooting ever in Sydney… if this is the worst, and it is…” I will not name names - this is 100% typical - but PLEASE check your privilege. Read a book. Do something to not erase the massacres that found all our cities and “way of life” on unceded lands. I am begging you.

Were I in a govt that really cared about kids, I’d be banning new coal and gas mines with rather more fervour than the current ban on social media.

Probably wouldn’t get the same boasting front pages in the Herald Sun and Daily Telegraph though…
The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.

Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?

That is more than 0.5C ago.
