Utterly ludicrous. The govt has now promised to cap its stadium spend at $875m, which is half a billion more than the cap it promised at the election. Watch it blow out every few months from now on…
And where are they going to reduce their other borrowings from? TT-Line??

This sets out the clear, bullet-point agreed plan that, if funded by Australian governments, would stop most ongoing family violence & make women & children way safer. Governments choose not to, while spending $60m on PNG men's rugby, $96m on crap BOMsite, millions on dicky consultants, etc.

The last time I wrote about this I copped the biggest whinge fest from the then (Labor) minister’s office about how they weren’t cutting the budget lol
That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

What are international protests revealing about Palestine, Israel and public opinion?
When I first saw the figures on international protests from October 2023 to September 2025, I was fascinated. I hadn’t realised which countries had been most active and the results surprised me.
